The 30th edition of The Armory Show, New York’s largest art fair, will return to the Javits Center in autumn with more than 235 exhibitors and a newly redesigned floor plan. The fair will be open to the public from 6 to 8 September, with a VIP preview on 5 September.

 

With more than 235 stands from more than 30 countries, the size of the fair is in line with recent years. This will be The Armory Show's second edition since its July 2023 acquisition by London-based Frieze and its fourth year at the sprawling Javits Center. The lineup of exhibitors represents a slight uptick from last year’s 225. The number of participating exhibitors peaked in 2022, when around 250 galleries took part in the fair. American Express has come on this year as The Armory Show lead partner.

 

More than 25 galleries are also returning to The Armory Show after a hiatus, the fair said in an announcement, including New York galleries Marianne Boesky Gallery, Cristin Tierney and Sperone Westwater, as well as New York and Los Angeles dealer Jeffrey Deitch.
