TEFAF Spring New York 2017

It is like a museum...@SecondFloorsoftheArmory @PhoenixAncientArt

     International Art Fair TEFAF New York Spring 2017 held.  93 internationally acclaimed exhibitors participated, with emphasis on modern and contemporary art & design at the Park Avenue Armory.  

Last year TEFAF Master was so well curated.  It was a super impressive show.  I was so excited to see their modern and contemporary art & design part of the show.  It didn't make me disappointed.  Some of galleries curated their space so well, and so many precious museum quality works were shown.  Here are my favorite gallery spaces and works.

The Photography Show 2017

     The Photography Show is the longest-running and foremost exhibition dedicated to the photographic medium, offering a wide range of museum-quality work, including contemporary, modern, and 19th-century photographs as well as photo-based art, video, and new media.

The newly expanded show at Pier 94 this year, organized by the Association of International Photography Art Dealers 2017.  115 of the world's leading fine art galleries were presented their collection.

The space is much bigger than Park Ave. Armory, so there were lots of more galleries and their collections.  But since the space was too big, it was hard to see black and white photography and small one.

Asia Week New York 2017

Fujikasa Satoko (Joan B. Mirviss LTD)

     The 8th Annual Asia Week New York Started from March, 9 2017.  There are 50 top-tier international galleries from Belgium, England, Germany, Italy, Japan, Korea, Switzerland, and U.S. They present millions of dollars worth of rare treasures from the far east.  

I have attended last 6 years as a press member.  Even though I have a master degree, specialized in 19c- 20c Korean, Japanese, and Chinese furniture.  It was not easy for me to appreciate some of art works quality.  But after 6 years, I have learned so much from press walk and could learn how to appreciate great works and get to know many great dealers.

I could also see more contemporary arts by asian artists this year.   

Here are a few my favorite works and Galleries...
