Do they have enough art community exposure and stamina to survive the pressure of the March and May events in New York, and subsequent inspections of the European and Asian art? Organizers are hoping that will suffice. George Billis (George Billis), director of the Red Dot, his conducts a fair, Art Now, in March, at the same time with the Armory Show, but most importantly my baby - Fair Red Dot - Billis moved to May. According to him, such a decision affect mainly the problems of delivery and transportation of products: with staff without rest or sleep and not before they finalize preparations for the December fairs in Miami, immediately begin to prepare for the New York event. "Even if it was not there at this time other fairs, it is still likely in May, most collectors gather in New York at auction or on business, "- said Billis.

Cornell DeWitt (Cornell DeWitt), Director of Fair Pulse, also refers to problems with transportation and dismisses the other reasons for the delay of events for May "We made this decision not because the Armory fair has become less popular or out of some of these concerns - we are confident that this is a great event." But at the same time DeWitt not fail to notice: «Frieze - a new object of attraction, everything about her and just talk. "According to DeWitt, will take several years to see what the result will be a month for organizers easier and more profitable - March or May.

Whatever was fair organizers still have not as hard as their members, which face a choice: to participate in the March and May events at the same time or choose just one thing? Some have decided to chase two hares: for example, David Zwirner Gallery , Regen Projects, and Lehmann Maupin will present their stands and at the March Art Show, and on May Frieze New-York. However, the Nicole Klagsbrun gallery and went further than the two above, will take part in the fair and still NADA. Gallery Hotel, Gavin Brown, Bortolami Gallery, Elizabeth Dee, Jack Hanley (a member of the NADA) also decided to sit on two chairs at the same time - their stands can be found at The Independent and The Frieze.

Some members of the NADA, such as James gallery Fuentes, could become the flagship of the new Fair Dealership Union, but they were already bound by a promise to participate in the fair Frieze. Press release of the new fairs NADA yet, but several members of the organization (Gallery Rachel Uffner, CANADA, Untitled and Leo Koenig) in the last year participated in the Armory Show and, most likely, this year also prefer to remain within its ranks. However, the plot adds that the Armory Show have so far published the list of participants, although it opened less than two months.

But wait active spring art lovers do not have to. Fairgrounds circulation in the world does not stop all year round, and in anticipation of significant world events you can visit no less interesting events of a local nature. Choice large in Singapore yesterday opened Fair Art Stage Singapore, which runs until January 15. She will present 132 galleries, most of which - Asian.
