Each month of the year, Design Milk’s resident art expert David Behringer frequents every gallery in New York City to see what the modern art world has to offer. He shares the best exhibitions and shows and gives his unique perspective on each while giving everyone bird’s eye views of the work. In case you missed any of these shows, we’re sharing them all below so you can enjoy a visual dive back into the art he covered in our Unframed column in 2018.
