Selections from The Armory Show in the Press
“The “Street Seats” project at the Armory Show consists of a series of found chairs painted taxi-yellow by the architectural firm called Bade Stageberg Cox, which designed the environment for this year’s art fair. The chairs were meant to give the event a distinctly New York feel. What’s so nice about the project is that its status as art never quite becomes clear. It feels like a modest little aesthetic infection that quietly spreads through the Armory show.”

“That this year’s edition has a special section devoted to Nordic artists has more to do with “the zeitgeist,” says director Paul Morris, than Stieg Larsson, but whatever: It’s thrilling to see moody etchings, erotic installations and toilet-paper rolls stamped “angst” made by contemporary artists from Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland and Iceland. In two former shipping terminals at Piers 92 and 94, you can wander without a passport through a United Nations of art galleries from 30 countries. New this year: free stuff (including those angsty toilet-paper rolls), live performances and lounges with an eclectic mix of chairs salvaged from NYC streets: Repaired and reclaimed, they’re painted taxicab yellow.”

“In past years, New York’s Armory Art Show — the annual scrum where 200 galleries gather annually to sell their paintings, sculpture, and artistic whatnot — has traditionally found famous artists established, emerging and dead, dotting the aisles. Andy Warhol and his ilk were everywhere, whether in pricey paintings or cheaper prints. But this year’s event (which opened to the public Thursday at Piers 92 and 94) felt different, more unpredictable: It’s a year without Warhol. With no consensus as to who mattered in late twentieth-century art, and no movement-of-this-century to stick a label on yet, galleries brought some new names and a welcome air of experimentation filled the space.”

“Brooklyn-based architects Bade Stageberg Cox made sure to address this issue while redesigning the layout of this year’s Armory Show in ways both subtle and obvious: Thinking of the sprawling fair as an art city, they took its layout back to the drafting table and offered show-goers a scaled-down experience, one that would afford them room to breathe, one that made the effort at least to take the mammoth event back toward its boutique roots….”One of the early conversations with [Armory Show president and co-founder] Paul Morris is getting back to the intimacy of the early days when it was in the Gramercy Park Hotel, with more performance art or places for it. This coincided with our idea for reexamining the social spaces of the fair,” partner Timothy Bade told ARTINFO. “Rather than focusing on aisles and more booths, we started thinking of the fair as an urban design.”

“Jacob Fabricius, the director of the Swedish non-profit institution Malmö Kunsthall, has organised the [Armory Show Nordic Section] and in addition to a number of commercial galleries, he invited a few artist-run spaces to the fair, such as Gallery D.O.R. and NoPlace. “It is a fair, but I don’t work in the commercial world and wanted to do something different, therefore I also brought smaller, non-commercial spaces”, Fabricius told The Art Newspaper. The majority of the 19 exhibitors are commercial galleries, however, including Galerie Anhava from Helsinki, Martin Asbæk, V1 and Bo Bjerggaard from Copenhagen, Niklas Belenius from Stockholm an i8 from Reykjavík.”

“The organisers have given the fair a facelift, helped by architects Bade Stageberg Cox, and reduced the number of exhibitors sharply. The result is most noticeable on Pier 94, the contemporary section, which now has wider aisles, bigger stands, more space to show off the works of art, and numerous cafe and VIP areas. The organisers have also introduced three new programmes: a section devoted to 11 emerging dealers showing single artist presentations called Solo Projects; Armory Film, showing contemporary video; and Armory Performance. As in previous years, there is also a section with a geographical focus: this year on 19 exhibitors from Nordic countries….Before the fair opened, there was speculation that this is make or break for the event, but at the VIP opening, galleries were more circumspect—and the flood of visitors suggests no lack of enthusiasm from collectors. “New Yorkers will always come to the Armory. In the first half hour, I saw 30 faces we wanted to see,” Borkur Arnarson, the director and owner of Iceland’s i-8, told us.”

But fortunately there are a number of art fairs going on this week in New York, which means there is a lot of new art in town about which to speculate. The main attraction is The Armory Show at Piers 92 and 94. Here 228 dealers are presenting artworks in two different sections, one devoted to 20th-century art, the other to 21st. ..[In the Modern section] there are some fine things, most notably an excellent display of subtle, deceptively modest but tough still lifes and landscapes — paintings, watercolors and etchings — by the beloved Giorgio Morandi at Galerie d’Arte Maggiore. ..[In the Contemporary section] One of the most remarkable works here attempts to capture the evanescent in nature. At Sean Kelly, Leandro Erlich presents a natural-history-museum-style vitrine displaying nine diminutive clouds.”

“Give people a little extra legroom, some champagne and they’ll be happy. That seemed to be the attitude at the VIP preview for this year’s spruced-up Armory Show at Piers 92 and 94 in Manhattan, Mar. 8-11, 2012…Dealers across the board at yesterday’s preview seemed grateful for the upgrade. At the contemporary section of the fair on Pier 94, winnowed down by 25 percent to 120 galleries, the bigger booths and wider walkways have made casual browsing easier for the window shoppers, such as director John Waters, who arrived yesterday declaring, “My only plan is to go wandering.”

“… the globe-trotting art scenesters have descended on NYC once again for The Armory Show and all its satellite contemporary art fairs. Last night the 2012 edition debuted at the sprawling Piers 92 and 94 on the Hudson River and 55th Street. Things are considerably different this year: far fewer art galleries were invited to participate, and the result, for the casual viewer, is satisfying.”

“It was unseasonably warm; visitors had shed their coats and were in ebullient moods. The river outside glistened in the sunlight, beams of which poured through the windows in Pier 92′s lobby area…And people showed up. There were collectors, like Don Rubell from Miami, Whitney supporter Melva Bucksbaum and her husband Raymond Learsy, David Mugrabi of the Warhol collecting and dealing Mugrabi family, Eli Broad, Susan and Michael Hort…Powerhouse art advisors, too, were out in force, including Kim Heirston Evans, Todd Levin, director of the Levin Art Group, and Stefano Basilico; museum honchos like the New Museum’s Lisa Phillips; and curators like Neville Wakefield, Massimiliano Gioni and Gary Carrion-Murayari. By mid-afternoon, the aisles on Pier 94, where The Observer spent most of the day, were packed, impeding easy progress; it was tough to move with all the air kissing and “It’s so nice to see you!”… However, sales do, and there were plenty today.”

“Today at noon, the Armory Show, New York’s largest art fair, opens to the VIPs. Among those expected are money manager Glenn Fuhrman, co-founder of MSD Capital LP; Don B. Marron, chairman of Lightyear Capital LLC; and billionaire philanthropist Eli Broad.The fair, which commands two piers on the Hudson River, was redesigned and reduced for its 14th edition. Its modern section will take over Pier 92, with 71 galleries from nine countries. Next door at Pier 94, the contemporary section will present 157 exhibitors from 30 countries.This year’s focus is on Nordic art, with 19 participating galleries. The highlight is a 40-foot-long light sculpture by Ragnar Kjartansson, spelling “Scandinavian Pain” in hot-pink neon tubing. The work was acquired by Swedish contemporary-art museum Moderna Museet from i8 gallery on the eve of the fair’s opening.”

“But on Sunday night, The Observer toured Pier 94 with architects Timothy Bade, Jane Stageberg and Martin Cox, who have renovated the fair, and saw a changed picture. There are wide, spacious aisles—two instead of three along the main drags, allowing for easy circulation—and public lounges scattered throughout, each marked with a painted tower as a landmark—green for the Artforum lounge, red for the new sit-down restaurant.“We thought about having this more intimate experience with art and artists,” Mr. Bade said….Arriving at the end of the interview, after visiting the VIP section, Mr. Morris was beaming. “It’s huge,” he said. “It’s what it always should have been.”…“There was a very strategic idea to make the Armory a more boutique fair,” said managing director Noah Horowitz. The Armory has created a section for single-artist shows, improved food services, launched a new media lounge in partnership with dealer Edward Winkleman’s Moving Image video art fair, and added a special VIP hour to allow collectors to shop without having to navigate hordes of people.”

“The online art site Paddle8’s partnership with the Armory Show — through which some 100 galleries, or half the fair’s exhibitors, have made artworks available online, often even releasing typically closely guarded pricing information — has already begun to pay dividends. This morning Paddle8 co-founder Alexander Gilkes told IN THE AIR that since the site’s preview went live on March 1 participating galleries have received nearly 200 inquiries, offers, and reserves. Roughly a quarter of those inquiries resulted in sales. Gilkes says about 50 of the galleries participating in the Paddle8 Armory Show have received inquiries. “Most people are using it for the reserve function,” he said. “Collectors are saying that Paddle8 helps them better prepare [for the fair].”

“Those putting together the 14th edition of the “Armory Show — Contemporary,” which runs from March 8 to 11 on Pier 94, are eager to make a better impression than they did last year. “Our aim is for comfort and hospitality,” said Paul Morris, the fair’s founding director. They hired the Brooklyn architects Bade Stageberg Cox to open up the space, giving it two aisles rather than three…This year’s fair will feature 113 international exhibitors representing 31 countries, fewer participants than last year in an attempt to improve quality and give the dealers more space. Gallery Hyundai, which has not participated in the show since 2004, will be back with works by Ai Weiwei and Lee Ufan. Sprüth Magers from Berlin will be back, as will Greene Naftali from New York.

“The list, which can be seen in full below, and which covers both Pier 94 (the contemporary art section) and Pier 92 (for modern art) has been reduced by 25 percent, to around 220 from last year’s 274 and that, said fair director Noah Horowitz in a telephone interview this morning, was a conscious choice. He said the aim, with the new design by Brooklyn-based architects Bade Stageberg Cox, was to give the event the feel of “a boutique fair.”…Generally, change is afoot at the Armory Show. Booths are bigger, Mr. Horowitz said. Also, there is a clearer floor plan, more social space, better VIP services (including a VIP lounge twice the size as previous years), a proper sit-down restaurant as well as two coffee bar cafes (food services on the piers have been a major source of complaint) and a dedicated space for panel discussions.”

“On October 25th an invitation-only crowd celebrating the artist Theaster Gates filled the Rose Bar at the Gramercy Park Hotel with art, fashion and buzz. Gates has been commissioned as the artist who will create the visual identity for the 2012 Armory Show, to be held March 8th-11th in New York. Gates’s visual identity work will be used in the design for the exhibition catalog, VIP brochure and bag, and all printed materials…Theaster Gates is a seemingly unusual choice for a commercial venture like the Armory Show as he puts a large portion of his sales back into the Dorcester project. Given his wide-ranging interests and embracing of so many different media and aspects of art-making, it is very encouraging that the Armory Show 2012 has chosen Gates as its visual “representative.” By doing so it is reflecting a return to politically-based work, and a strong message of art’s transformative ability beyond mere commerce and sales results.”

Armory Show 2011: Focus on Latin America
“Truly an international art fair, the Armory Art Show spotlights Latin America with galleries from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Peru and Venezuela…”We distinguish ourselves by being supported by the most vibrant contemporary art environment,” said Katelijne de Backer, executive director of the Armory Show. “Galleries and museums in New York City are second to none in the world, and they all come together to provide concurrent exhibition offerings.” But it would be a mistake to classify The Armory Show as simply a “local art fair.” After all, the art business is now by definition global. To counteract this classification, the Armory Show as increased and maintained the presence of international participants over the years. For example, in 2010, the Armory Show spotlighted Berlin as part of a geographical focus on a vibant art community outside New York. This year, “Armory Focus: Latin America” will feautre a selection of 21 galleries from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexio, Peru and Venezuela. These are in addition to approximately 10 Latin American galleries that already part of the main contemporary and Modern sections… Many of the exhibitors view the Armory Show as an opportunity to emulate the quality of a curated museum exhibition. What’s more, many galleries are opting for spotlighting one single artist or one major installation with a view to creating an indelible impression on the collectors and visitors…”

Artist to Watch: Gabriel Kuri
“After a prolific year exhibiting in Italy, Germany and the United States, Kuri is beginning the new year as the artist commisioned to create the visual identity of the 2011 Armory Show in New York City. His role will be to define the fair’s overall aesthetic, which will allow him to apply his personal subject matter, which addresses the consumer, to an event that primarily functions as a site for art to be purchased. Perhaps when his work is placed within this context, Kuri will reign as purveyor of the paper chase and, with the fruits of his scavenging, instill an awakened mindfullness among patrons at the fair.”
