In May, New York City showcases a bustling week of contemporary art, featuring multimillion-dollar auction previews at Christie's and Sotheby's, as well as numerous art fairs and gallery openings. The article emphasizes the dynamic atmosphere of Frieze New York, highlighting standout works like Jeff Koons' striking "Hulk" sculptures and Lorna Simpson's thought-provoking collages at Hauser & Wirth.
