About This Project

March 8 – 11, 2018

New York, USA

Details

There’s no argument that New York is a mecca for art lovers and the premier art fair The Armory Show is where artists and collectors converge. The Armory Show features presentations by leading international galleries, innovative artist commissions and dynamic public programs. Since its founding in 1994, the Armory Show has served as a nexus for the art world, bringing the most important 20th and 21st century art together along with over 65,000 visitors annually. Held in Midtown Manhattan at the special event venue Piers 92/94, this year’s program will be put together by two American curators, Gabriel Ritter and Jen Mergel, both boasting institutional affiliations and solid experience in building art collections in the US. When springtime is about to set, The Armory Show blooms freshly in the crisp Big Apple that you just need to bite into.

Who will be there!
