The Armory Show is an annual international art fair held in New York City every March as part of Armory Week. The Armory Show is one of NYC’s major art fairs.
About the Armory Show
The original Armory Show was a historic 1913 exhibition at the 69th Regiment Armory that introduced European modern art to Americans. It was the first time most Americans saw the Fauvist, Cubist, and Futurist art of figures such as Paul Cezanne, Vincent Van Gogh, Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, and Marcel Duchamp.
The current Armory Show was founded in 1994. The first show presented new work by living artists at the Gramercy Park Hotel. It renamed itself The Armory Show when the fair moved to the 69th Regiment Armory in 1999.
Today The Armory Show takes over Piers 92 & 94 on Manhattan’s West Side. Modern works are shown on Pier 92. Contemporary work is shown on Pier 94. The show is seen by over 65,000 visitors annually and is reported to sell around $85 million dollars work of art.
Art critic Benjamin Genocchio, formerly of Artnet, is the show’s Director.
