Showcasing original contemporary work from hundreds of contemporary artists, the New York Spring Affordable Art Fair (March 28 - 31) at the Metropolitan Pavilion (125 West 18th Street), has art for the frugal collector. With works ranging from $100 to $10,000, there’s a little something for everyone.
The Young Talent Exhibition is a dedicated platform that supports emerging artists and curators within the contemporary art community, and this year’s show will feature New York-based artist, Mónica Hernández, who will showcase her thought-provoking oil-on-canvas works featuring the female figure and the power of the female gaze in the fair’s Inspiration Lounge. While browsing for prints, paintings, and sculptures, there’s also hands-on-workshops, kids activities and personal shopping experiences.
