The Affordable Art Fair is off to a good start. Wednesday was the Private Preview Opening Reception and yesterday was the first full day of the show (with another Preview cocktail reception in the evening). So far, the crowds have been great. There's a lot of enthusiasm. Plenty of interest. Tons of talk. But there is a general reluctance for people to pull the trigger and buy like they did freely last year. Regardless, we are thrilled with the booth, our artist's work and the numbers thus far. Here are a couple of pictures of Migration's booth:
Specifically, we've gotten terrific feedback on two artists (who we did not show here last year). Ashley Williams' work on paper (pictured below left) has stopped people in their tracks. Great to see a young artist impress the seasoned NY collectors. And, glass artist, Michael Janis, is getting all the praise we expected (pictured below right). Warms our heart.
Of course, being in NYC is a blast for Laura and me. Sights, sounds and tastes of the Big Apple. Other than the hard work of the Fair, we are enjoying this "vacation." Oh... and the view out our hotel window is of the Empire State Building. Kind of nice to open your blinds and and have that iconic spire looking down on you.
Stay tuned for more reports from the Fair. I'm sure Saturday will be a big day!
