2016 New York Armory Art Fair Week...


     Every year, the Armory Show comes to New York City in March. The show is the number one contemporary art fair in the United States. During the week of the show, various art fairs are open. This year, I visited Seven Fairs in NYC to see what they are showing.

The Armory Show was held on Pier 92 and 94 and it divided into a contemporary art section and a modern art section. the best part of the show is seeing the major or up-and-coming artist's works from all over the world.

The image above resembles a Roy Lichtenstein piece, but it was crafted by Jose Davila at the Sean Kelly Gallery in New York, NY.    The image below is "God of Valley" by Su-Fan Oh at the Gana Art Gallery in Seoul, Korea.


The above image is "Abstraction Construction #26" by Rodney Graham at the Lisson Gallery in New York, NY.


The Volta Art Fair presents an individual artist by each gallery. Since Volta presents an artist works, we can understand each artist's style and vision better.

The below image is Cinematography by Kentmonkman at the Pierre-Francois Quellette Art Contemporain in Montreal & Toronto, Canada .
 
     The art on paper was held in pier 36. Most NY local galleries attended. There was live music performance. It was most fun opening night. So many people attended. It seems like it was New York Art lover's night. The image below left is by Henry Jackson at the Stewart Gallery in NY, NY.

 


         

The Art show was held in the Park Avenue Armory as usual.   It was most classy one by American Art Dealers.  I could see many beautiful art works, but I couldn't see various contemporary art works which international gallery presents.

     My favorite was the Spring/Break Show. It wasn't a well polished and most organized show, But I could see many great works and potential up-coming artist. In a way, it reminded me of my college art show, but it was fun and interesting.
