What we saw at AAF NYC

During the four and a half days of the Affordable Art Fair, neither Laura nor I had much of a chance to get outside our own booth and fully study all the other great art exhibited at the fair – heck, it was so busy, we had to remind ourselves to take restroom breaks. We did however, get a few chances to take a spin around the fair and at least catch what other galleries had up on their walls. There were over 70 galleries at AAF exhibiting a minimum of three artists’ work each (total of more than 300 artists’ work under one roof - yowza). It was particularly nice to see a large amount of high quality drawing and printmaking exhibited. Overall, we thought the work exhibited was very even - no dogs at this fair.

Although this is far from a thorough list of what struck us as being particularly good work, it is a sampling of what caught our eye:

Ray Maseman (printmaking) @ New Grounds Gallery (Albuquerque, NM)

 

David Wheeler (painting) @ Art Movement (London)

 

Laurel Hausler (painting and drawing) @ Nevin Kelly Gallery (Washington, DC)

Macha Suzuki (drawing) @ Sam Lee Gallery (Los Angeles)

 

Marianela de la Hoz (egg tempera) @ Alida Anderson Art Projects (Media, PA)

 

Some of our already known favorites were also represented at the fair, including Maggie Taylor, Tim Tate and Lenny Campello.
