The FLAG Art Foundation Located in the sleek and chic Chelsea Arts Tower, The FLAG Art Foundation is an exciting exhibition space for viewing contemporary art. Art insiders who are truly in the know seem to be aware of this unique, rather distinctive venue since it’s housed in an unexpected space–up on the 9th and 10th floors of a 20-story glass-facade commercial condominium. Exhibiting works by established and emerging international artists, FLAG’s mission is to encourage and foster the appreciation of contemporary art among a diverse audience. It also provides a unique educational environment in which art enthusiasts can view, contemplate and engage in active dialogue with the artworks.
FLAG’s program includes three-to-five professionally-curated shows annually. What’s also rather unique about FLAG is that it functions as a museum. Curators select and borrow from a variety of institutions and private collections to include an extensive range of artwork in each compelling exhibition. FLAG is also a resource that facilitates loans of contemporary artworks to museums worldwide.

Recently on view was American artist Tara Donovan’s “Haze” (2003) installation, in which she created a three-dimensional rippled, cloud-like wall through the assembly of countless white drinking straws.
Influential minimal artist Félix González-Torres’ “Untitled” (A Corner of Baci, 1990) installation offered an endless supply of sweetness and a bit of decadence. In a corner just off the elevator was a glittering pile of Baci chocolate Italian “kisses,” which guests helped themselves to upon entering and exiting. The stock was continually replenished.
