We have eagerly anticipated Yee Wong‘s solo show, Forever Bloom, and the moment has finally arrived. The exhibition is at Privé, situated in the heart of the trendy New York art scene—the Lower East Side—where art legends like Jean-Michel Basquiat and Keith Haring once worked. What makes this artistic journey even more intriguing is Yee Wong’s collaboration with the renowned art advisor/art dealer, Catiana Van Dinh, and Privé’s Art Director, Katie Mangurian.
Catiana Van Dinh is a passionate connoisseur immersed in the world of contemporary investment-grade art. Trained at the Sotheby’s Art Institute, she closed millions of dollars of sales at Soho Contemporary Art and other New York galleries, including works by Picasso, Monet, Warhol, Lichtenstein, Haring, and Basquiat. However, to truly appreciate her remarkable journey in the art world, one must delve deeper into her multifaceted role as an experienced art advisor and art dealer.
As for Katie Mangurian, her years of experience in the art world enrich her role as the art director of Privé, bringing a wealth of expertise and a keen eye for groundbreaking art to Yee Wong’s solo show.
We are no strangers to Yee’s amazing artistic talent. Yee, with her multiple cultural backgrounds, distinguishes her art as a new breed in the contemporary art world. Her creations have garnered widespread recognition, showcased on various international media, from the social media channels of contemporary art museums like the Saatchi Gallery in London to the cover of Art Voices Magazine in New York. Her works have also been featured in esteemed media and platforms such as Yahoo, Artsy, Domino Magazine, and numerous others. Beyond her artistic achievements, Yee Wong has a passion for children and enjoys contributing to children’s organizations, collaborating with institutions like the Young at Art Museum.
This solo show unveils nine pieces from Yee Wong’s ‘Forever Bloom’ collection, showcasing the evolution of her artistic journey. Complementing these static art pieces are interactive art installations, inviting attendees to actively engage with the creative process.
“Forever Bloom” is not just an exhibition; it’s a convergence of cultural diversity, artistic innovation, and a commitment to positive change. For art enthusiasts, this is a unique opportunity to witness Yee Wong’s transformative creativity in a setting that resonates with the spirit of New York’s iconic art scene.
