We’ve always thought it’d be cool to travel around the art circuit–like writer David Amsden did last year–but it’s always seemed too pricey. We’d hardly be able to afford all the champagne and cocktail dresses, let alone the actual work for sale. But the Affordable Art Fair coming to NYC may actually be worth a visit.
The event, started in London in 1999, aims to make contemporary art buying accessible, without the snobby atmosphere or astronomical prices. (At least, so they say.) At the stateside fair this year will be more than 70 galleries from 12 countries, and 75 percent of the art will be priced from $100-$5,000. Not exactly cheap, but certainly reasonable.
And even if you’re not buying, it’s still a good chance to see a bunch of art under one roof. There will also be printmaking and sculpture demos, so you can get your hands dirty if you get inspired. The fair runs June 12-15 and admission is $17.
