Presented by the Art Dealers Association of America (ADAA) benefitting the Henry Street Settlement, the 2021 edition of The Art Show welcomes over 70 galleries, and for the first time will dedicate over half of the fair to solo artist exhibitions. The Art Show incorporates a range of in-person and virtual programming, including access to ADAA galleries and discussions with industry leaders, curators, and artists.
The fair opens with a benefit preview this Wednesday, November 3, and will bring together some of New York’s art, business, and philanthropic communities. Anticipated highlights of the fair include a presentation by Yancey Richardson of iconic self-portraits by Tseng Kwong Chi, and Tseng’s photo sequence produced in collaboration with Keith Haring and Bill T. Jones. Curated especially for the Art Show is a two-person exploration of luminosity from the David Kordansky Gallery, featuring “Parabolic Lens” sculptures by Fred Eversley and new works on paper by Mary Weatherford. Among fair first-timers is Melissa S. Cody, a Navajo weaver, debuting five monumental tapestries with the Garth Greenan Gallery.
