Art Fair Power: How Art Fairs Influence a Market and a Region

ADAA's own art fair—The Art Show at the Park Avenue Armory in New York City—celebrates its 25th anniversary next year and is the longest running art fair in the United States. Since the 1970s and 1980s art fairs have gone from a handful of major events, to 68 in 2005 and more than 180 in 2011. ADAA Collectors' Forum panelists will discuss this extraordinary proliferation of art fairs, the opportunities they provide for gallerists, curators, and collectors, and their impact on local communities and the global art market.
