Event Details
Art New York and CONTEXT New York Presented by Art Miami will return for its third edition, opening Wednesday, May 3 with a VIP Preview from 2-5pm to kick off Art Week in New York City. The preview gives collectors, art advisors, curators and members of the press the opportunity to view and acquire the most prestigious works available to the market before the fairs open to the public that evening.
Art New York and CONTEXT New York once again will take place on the main island of Manhattan at Pier 94, a venue that has become the most important exhibition facility for the arts in the area and annually attracts over 150,000 of the most discerning, culturally savvy and sophisticated collectors in the world. Art New York will offer both noteworthy and fresh works by important artists from the modern, post-war and pop eras, and feature paintings, photography, prints, drawings, design and sculpture. While CONTEXT New York will provide collectors with the opportunity to acquire important works of contemporary art from mid-career, emergent and cutting-edge talent by rising and established galleries.
Over 150 international contemporary and modern galleries from 50 countries representing over 1,200 artists will complement Frieze NY, the inaugural TEFAF fair, Collective Design fair, spring auctions, gallery openings and museum galas. Participating galleries have shown in major international fairs such as Art Miami, Art Basel, Design Miami, The Armory Show, Masterpiece and Expo Chicago, as well as the ADAA's Art Show.
The fairs this year will place a premier focus on social awareness presenting a bevy of philanthropically driven special projects. At Art New York, photographer Bob Gruen, who has shot everyone from John Lennon and David Bowie to Led Zeppelin and The Rolling Stones, will showcase ROCKERS, an exhibition featuring limited edition silkscreen prints of his most iconic images presented by Gary Lichtenstein Editions. Fifty percent of all proceeds will be donated to the Perry J. Cohen Foundation. Long-S
