Despite the prevailing political and economic chaos in the US, particularly under President Trump's second term, New York's art fair week has seen vibrant attendance and excitement. With numerous art fairs occurring simultaneously, the atmosphere feels charged, encouraging dealers and attendees alike. Experts note a shift in mood, suggesting that the market is adapting to recent challenges and embracing opportunities moving forward, even as cumulative auction estimates remain lower than previous years. Overall, the art scene in New York continues to thrive despite external pressures.
The decision to combine Frieze and Tefaf in the same week was a smart choice; it has created a palpable energy that reinforces New York as the art capital.
The opening is much livelier this year. It feels like there is pent-up energy, and that people don’t seem to care nearly as much about Trump.
