As an art advisor, I travel to various art fairs such as Art Basel Miami Beach throughout the year, and have attended the annual Armory Show in New York many times. My trip last week to The Armory Show and other art fairs did not disappoint! I encountered terrific works of art for my clients, everything from affordable art by young artists, to blue-chip works by leading contemporary artists.
\n<\/p>\n
The Armory Show, New York’s biggest art fair, featured 199 galleries from around the globe at its 2015 edition. Thousands of art collectors, museum curators, dealers, critics and academics converged on New York City to engage in one of the world’s largest art showcases. Set up in two sprawling sections – Contemporary at Pier 94, and Modern at Pier 92 – The Armory Show takes a whole day or longer to experience. <\/p>\n
Another must-see art fair is The Art Show by ADAA, which is held at the same time as The Armory Show and located across town at the historic Park Avenue Armory. It is the longest running fine art fair in the U.S., where 72 of America’s top galleries presented intriguing thematic exhibitions as well as booths dedicated to works by a single artist.<\/p>\n
New York also hosted a number of satellite art fairs during Armory Arts Week, including a brand new fair called Art on Paper. My favorites? Pulse, held at the Metropolitan Pavilion in Chelsea, which offered a provocative cross-section of contemporary art. And Volta, held at Pier 90, an engrossing fair with most galleries featuring tight solo projects by fresh emerging artists.<\/p>\n
