Go to Volta New York, 2013, Great Art Fair

Just briefly: go to Volta NY at 83 Mercer Street.  Its one of the best contemporary art fairs, and tops last years in the old Midtown location.  More details later, but I encourage you to go after the Armory 2013 Art Fair for a more in-depth view of individual artists.

Has the Art Fairs like Scope and the Armory Run its Course?

While the art fairs roll into New York, such as Scope 2013 New York and the Armory 2013, is it too much?  Have we reached the tipping point?  Is this a good way to view art?  Is it about viewing art at all?

East Coast Weather Impacting New York Art Fairs/Armory 2013?

With the upcoming winter storms ready to hit the East Coast and already impacting Chicagoland and other areas, what will the impact be on the Armory 2013 art fair?  Planes from the Midwest have been canceled; the Washington, D.C. area will be impacted; high winds and expected snow for the show's opening in New York could make it hard for European flights to land.

Big collectors might not make it to the gala opening or other parties set for the next few days, and other visitors might not feel like making the trek to the West Side piers in rain and snow.  The record attendance of about 40,000 set at last year's fair might not come out.
