Affordable Art Meets Avant-Garde: The Dynamic Blend of Art Expo New York
Laura Lati reporting for artfairmag from Artexpo New York 2024.
On Thursday April 4th, on Pier 36 on the lower East side of Manhattan, opening night of Art Expo New York’s 47th Edition, was buzzing with a typical New York alternative crowd. From blue hair to eccentric outfits and original fashion accessories, artists and emerging collectors were au rendezvous.
At the fair by the Redwood Group, audiences could find many collectible works below 5,000, and even below 3,000 USD. The fair gathers such an elaborate and diverse selection of affordable works, and if you’re looking for a specific medium or theme, you can find it there.
