The Armory Show 2012

The Armory Show 2012 will again present two sections, Contemporary and Modern. The Armory Show – Modern features a selection of renowned galleries specializing in Modern and secondary market material on Pier 92, while The Armory Show – Contemporary on Pier 94 continues to be a venue to premiere new works by living artists. With one admission ticket, visitors to The Armory Show on March 8–11, 2012 will again have access not only to the newest developments in the art world, but also to the masterpieces that inspired them.

This year The Armory Show broke its attendance record with over 60,000 collectors, curators, critics, and art lovers, including 4,000 museum visitors, 10,000 invited VIPs and their guests and over 1,500 journalists. Most importantly, our exhibitors reported exceptionally strong sales.

The New York Times’ Roberta Smith said of the 2011 edition that ‘The show seems fresher than it has in several years…An unexpected benefit: the vigorous call and response between the contemporary section, on Pier 94, and the modern section created two years ago, on Pier 92, for dealers in more historical material.’
