KBH Fine Art, together with Salon 21, recently hosted a wonderful Artist Studio Tour featuring three remarkable artists: @bethbarryartist @danielhughesvernola @veryperryburns

There is something truly special about stepping inside the studios where the work is created, hearing each artist share the stories and ideas behind their practice, and spending the day immersed in beautiful art. A heartfelt thank you to Salon 21 and to Beth, Daniel and Perry for opening their studios and making the experience so memorable.

A year ago, a young woman with radiant energy walked into my friend’s gallery in the Lower East Side. Her name was Alexandra Steinacker-Clark, and she was visiting from London, doing research for a book she was writing. She had stumbled into Lyle Gallery on Rutgers Street, while roaming the different art neighborhoods in New York.

I received a message from my friend @lin.tyrpien, owner of @lyle.gallery, saying she had just met someone special that I should meet. We arranged an evening out at Fanelli’s in SoHo with our new friend, @alexandrasteinacker, where we had drinks and food and laughed as we shared stories about our lives.

Alexandra told us about the book she was writing, “Working in Art: How to Build a Career in the Art World,” and how it grew from her podcast, All About Art, which seeks to demystify the professional arts sector.

I would think about Alexandra over the months that followed, hoping I’d have the opportunity to support her book in some way. Time flew by, as it always does, and a year later, Alexandra reached out to say she was partnering with the art advisory and design studio Salon 21 to launch the book in New York. I was thrilled to welcome them to our new Chelsea gallery for the event.

It was a pleasure to meet Alex Bass, founder of @salon.21, who moderated the conversation with Alexandra. Alex was thoughtful, engaging, and incredibly bright, guiding a discussion that sparked many interesting questions from the audience. The room was filled with people who were genuinely curious about the art world and eager to learn from Alexandra’s experience.

It’s moments like these that remind me why I love working in the arts. So much of this community is built on curiosity, generosity, and unexpected introductions. A chance meeting turned into an evening filled with thoughtful conversation, new connections, and a room full of people passionate about building a more accessible art world.

Thank you to Alexandra, Alex, Salon 21, to @goodmoodkombucha who sponsored this event, and to everyone who joined us for such a memorable evening. Congratulations, Alexandra, on an incredible achievement. I can’t wait to see where this book takes you.

This episode of Hot Kitchens takes us to an 1850s townhouse in Greenwich Village, where @josharcus cooks up a Minetta Tavern–inspired tiny tavern slider with special guest @alexx_bass , founder of @salon.21 and co-creator of Artvisory, a new art advisory partnership with Brown Harris Stevens.
Josh and Alex talk about kitchen staples (wooden spoons and All-Clad forever), the gas vs. electric stove debate, and her go-to NYC institution, Il Cantinori. Then they dig into how Alex is bringing Gertrude Stein's salon tradition into the 21st century, why she believes "a home isn't a home without art," how she helps first-time collectors get past sticker shock, and her advice for anyone intimidated by walking into a gallery.
