New York’s New Art Sellers

A new generation of art sellers has emerged in New York. They “have been mounting shows in unusual spaces, featuring work that is fast, cheap, and exuberant—and produced more often by ‘collectives’ than by nineties-style art stars (not that any of these artists would pass up their own fifteen minutes). This fall, these players have become their own Establishment: Several of their artists were just tapped for the Whitney Biennial, and a number are members of the New Art Dealers Alliance, which declares that the ‘adversarial approach to exhibiting and selling art’ is dead.”
