""It was important for me that this fair feels rooted in New York," says fair director Kyla McMillan. "I'm really thrilled with the resurgence of New York galleries that have come to do the fair this year, but also just the strength of the presentations, which I think exhibits a confidence and an optimism in the potential.""
""a lot of conversations""
""Challenging moments really breed transparency and communication and collaboration," McMillan says. "If those challenges lead to what I've experienced in my first year as director, which is better relationships with gallerists, then the outcomes can only be positive.""
Exhibitors at The Armory Show reported solid sales during the VIP preview, signaling positive momentum for New York's largest fair after summer gallery closures. More than twenty galleries returned after hiatuses, including Marianne Boesky Gallery, Andrew Kreps, Uffner and Liu, Instituto de Visión and White Cube. Fair director Kyla McMillan emphasized rooting the fair in New York and praised the resurgence, strength of presentations, confidence and optimism. Some prominent dealers such as Cristin Tierney, Sperone Westwater and Jeffrey Deitch did not return. Dealers face a soft market, tightened budgets and recent closures including Clearing, Venus Over Manhattan and Blum, and McMillan highlighted increased transparency and collaboration with gallerists.
