The International Artexpo New York 2010 is the world’s largest fine art trade show, providing dealers with access to thousands of wholesale works from artists and publishers in one single venue. Over its 30-year history, Artexpo New York has hosted many of the world’s most renowned artists, including Andy Warhol, Peter Max, Robert Rauschenberg, Robert Indiana and Leroy Neiman.

As the 32nd annual Artexpo New York is shaping up, this year's event stands to be the best show yet having moved to a new location -- Pier 94 on the Hudson River at West 54th Street -- with hundreds of innovative exhibiting artists, galleries and publishers from across the globe, showcasing  original artwork, prints, paintings, drawings, sculpture, photography, ceramics, giclee, lithographs, glass works and more, all under one roof. Trumping last year with more exhibitors and additional square footage, the show plans to host more than 25,000 buyers and art enthusiasts.

The 2010 International Artexpo Education Series will offer three days of seminars and conference classes in two state-of-the-art theaters. These courses will offer expert perspectives on subjects ranging from art and the economy, small business management and art marketing, to social media for artists and more.

The popular “Solo” show will also return, with more than 250 of the world’s top emerging, independent artists exhibiting and selling their work in the hopes of being discovered. A new addition to this year’s SOLO show will be a “SOLO Jury” composed of influencers and tastemakers from the design, fashion, art and culture worlds who will critique and nominate Solo’s “best in show.”
