New York Art Week
While there is a plethora of art every week in New York, next week is particularly rich. On March 26th the international art world stages its annual descent upon New York City for The Armory Show. In addition, 12 other fairs and many more events will vie for attention. This year’s museum line-up is particularly rich given the alignment of the Biennial at the Whitney Museum.
Next week witnesses the opening of 13 fairs with a combined 625 exhibitors. While only 50% of the sensory feast at Art Basel Miami Beach, this is still a 50% increase over last year in New York. If you still have the time and energy after perusing the 160 galleries at The Armory Show, then the new VOLTA show and newly located PULSE fair seem to possess the best line-ups. Attached is a complete listing and map of all the fairs, which can also be found at www.cottelston.com.
On Thursday, March 27th, The Art of Collecting: Trends in the Market will be a conversation about what’s next with: Pamela Auchincloss, Managing Director at Artist Pension Trust; Judd Tully, Editor-at-Large at Art + Auction; and Simon Watson, Curator & Partner at Scenic.
Then on Friday, March 28th, The Art of Collecting: Economics of the Market will be a lively discussion on supply and demand with: Andy Augenblick, President of Fine Art Capital, Michael Moses, Co-Developer of Mei Moses Fine Art Indices; and David A. Ross, President of Albion New York.
The Biennial, positioned as the barometer of current American art practices, opened earlier this month. With its emphasis on installations and videos and the dearth of painting, this is a conventionally anti-conventional show. Other shows currently open worth seeing include Gustave Courbet at the Met and Cai Guo-Qiang’s pyrotechnics at the Guggenheim. Inopportune: Stage One, Cai’s largest installation to date, presents nine real cars in a cinematic progression that simulates a car bombing in the central atrium of the Frank Lloyd Wright rotunda.
Of course market concerns may squash the passion in the air. With the U.S. economy flat-lining, everyone remains cautiously optimistic. The expected 60,000 attendees at The Armory Show should ensure brisk sales, especially with support from Europe where the dollar’s weakness translates into artificially low prices. However, whether this translates to sales at the ancillary events remains to be seen.
All of which provide ample fodder for the two panel discussions Cottelston is presenting at The CORE: Club as part of The Armory Show VIP programming. Both panels will be moderated by Michael Sellinger.
