The New Art Dealer’s Alliance (NADA) Miami 2017 opens today, 12/8, albeit not on the beach. Their previous venue, the Deauville Beach Resort, is closed indefinitely after suffering an electrical fire and damage from Hurricane Irma, forcing the fair to relocate to their point of origin, Ice Palace Film Studios.

The immediacy of Alex Katz’s current exhibition at Gavin Brown’s Enterprise on Grand Street in Lower Manhattan is astounding. Entitled The Cut-Outs, the paintings on view, erected as flat objects in three-dimensional space, feel as fresh as the era in which they were made: The 1950s-80s.

Welcome to Affordable Art Fair weekend in New York City. You’ve probably seen the bright pink banners everywhere alongside ads showing vaguely surprised art collectors with their newly bought artwork.

Independent New York 2017 is a robust and rousing affair, ranging the art spectrum from sound art and installation art to collage and painting. From Gavin Brown to David Lewis, focus at the fair was on keeping an eye toward the unexpected while remaining relevant to current and upcoming art exhibits.
