Overview
- Frieze New York at The Shed features more than 65 galleries from over two dozen countries, with dealers reporting measured sales and confirmed high-value deals at Thaddaeus Ropac’s booth.
- NADA New York counts about 110 exhibitors and leans into discovery and material practice, with many first-time participants and strong showings in ceramics and fiber.
- Independent relocates to Pier 36 with a roughly 70,000-square-foot layout and 76 exhibitors, giving galleries larger stands, better sightlines, and a smoother single-level flow that dealers say boosts visibility.
- TEFAF New York at the Park Avenue Armory is drawing heavy crowds and mixing canonical names with buzzy solos, including new sculptural work by Kathleen Ryan and a focused presentation on Ida Barbarigo.
- In Venice, the Biennale presses on with public “Visitor Lions” replacing the usual juried awards after resignations and the death of artistic director Lucinda Kouoh, as 96 national pavilions present wide-ranging projects.
