NEW YORK—The American Association of Art Dealers (ADAA) art fair is underway and the 72 participating galleries are exhibiting tightly curated selections of work. Many, like Metro Pictures where Cindy Sherman’s 1976 “Murder Mystery” series is on view and D.C. Moore Gallery which is featuring rare large-scale abstracts by Romare Bearden, are showcasing a single artist. The exhibit at Pavel Zoubok Gallery concentrates on collage. Others are highlighting particular schools or genres.
The Art Show is in its 24th year and benefits the Henry Street Settlement which provides Lower East Side residents with social services, healthcare and cultural opportunities. The show runs from March 7 to 11, 2012, at the Park Avenue Armory.
