Fridge Art Fair
Fridge Art Fair does not take itself too seriously. This contemporary art show is light-hearted and concentrates on offering affordable pieces in a non-intimidating atmosphere. IIt aims to offer low-cost exhibiting space to ensure that there are no barriers for local and fledgling artists. Thus, the lobby area is reserved for Brooklyn artists to encourage and help this community in a positive way. There are around 40 exhibitors expected each year. The fair presents pieces that celebrate the fun side of life, especially dog and cat-related images in paint, mixed-media, sculptural and video. Each piece has to fit in a fridge! This open-minded and pet-friendly fair has been created by artist Eric Ginsburg in 2013. Fridge Art Fair takes place annually in NYC, in the busy month of May, at the same time at Frieze New York.
Eric Ginsburg shares his views!

@guillaume.bresson at @galerieobadia. You have to see this stunning exhibition featuring 8 breathtaking paintings exploring the theme of falling. I love the way Guillaume Bresson takes inspiration from classical painting codes and techniques while bringing an incredibly contemporary touch to it.
Not to be missed under any circumstances!

@helenebaillygallery is definitely my must-see booth at @fabparisfair 2023! She presents here 18 stunning pieces of modern art. I fell in love with a massive painting of #sergepoliakoff and a poteaux of a mustketeer paintor by #pablopicasso, both from 1967.
Other great artworks are on view, such as an ostrich by #diegogiacometti, a whimsical clown by #marcchagall, a beach scene by #keesvandongen or three ceramics that are unique pieces by #pablopicasso.
Don’t miss out! Booth B17, Grand Palais Éphémère, 22-26 November.
