The Art Show (ADAA)

Park Avenue Armory, New York

New York, February 18, 2015 —The 27 th edition of The Art Show, America’s foremost and longest running fine art fair, will present specially curated booths by 72 of the nation’s leading art dealers at New York’s historic Park Avenue Armory. Organized by the Art Dealers Association of America (ADAA) to benefit Henry Street Settlement, The Art Show will feature a keynote speech by New York City Cultural Affairs Commissioner, Tom Finkelpearl, and a unique benefit print produced by Pace Prints with artist Ella Kruglyanskaya. The Art Show takes place March 4 through March 8, 2015, with a Gala Preview on March 3. AXA Art Americas Corporation has returned for the fourth consecutive year as Lead Partner.

The Art Show’s acclaimed booth presentations feature both modern masters and cutting-edge contemporary works in all media. Elaborately themed group exhibitions are presented alongside groundbreaking solo booths, many of which are dedicated to women artists this year. Salon 94 will present several never-before-seen photographs from Lorna Simpson’s landmark series, “Walking and Lying Objects.” David Nolan Gallery will exhibit Christina Ramberg’s depictions of corseted female bodies. Lehmann Maupin Gallery debuts Tracey Emin’s bronze sculpture, “The Heart Has Its Reasons.” The 2015 fair also highlights artists from around the globe. Adler & Conkright Fine Art looks at Latin American artists who went abroad in the ‘60s, including Jesús Soto, Carlos Cruz-Diez and Lygia Clark. Other significant international figures on view will be Michelangelo Pistoletto at Luhring Augustine, Marcel Odenbach at Anton Kern Gallery, and Claudio Parmiggiani at Bortolami.

Complementing the growing diversity in The Art Show booths is the 2015 keynote address. On Friday, March 6, New York City Cultural Affairs Commissioner Tom Finkelpearl will discuss the city’s new cultural diversity initiative. The Department of Cultural Affairs launched the initiative at the Ford Foundation in January to help arts institutions better serve audiences from an increasingly wide variety of backgrounds. “Working with our partners at cultural organizations and in the funding community, we are confident that we will find strategies to foster a more equitable cultural landscape for the next generation of artists, administrators, and audiences,” says Finkelpearl.

Benefit Print Donated by Pace Prints
In celebration of the 100 th anniversary of Henry Street’s Abrons Arts Center Playhouse, Pace Prints has produced a unique editioned artwork with artist Ella Kruglyanskaya to be sold for the benefit of Henry Street.
Latvia-born, New York-based artist Ella Kruglyanskaya is an alumna of the Abrons AIRspace residency program and best known for her bold, colorful paintings of the female form. A relief print with hand-coloring, Pears (2015), will be an edition of 30, available for purchase at The Art Show and online at Paddle 8 from March 3 – 8, 2015. The prints are approximately 17.5” by 25” and are priced at $1,500 each. They are being sold in conjunction with Henry Street Settlement’s annual silent auction, which takes places from Friday, February 27 through Sunday, March 8, 2015.
The project was produced in collaboration with Pace Prints and Richard Solomon, a past president of the ADAA. The image is courtesy of the artist and Gavin Brown’s enterprise, New York. For more information, contact Adrian Geraldo Saldaña, Henry Street’s Special Events Coordinator
