The Fair Life
Many people think that art fairs are places to buy contemporary art. Obviously, when you look at fairs like Art Basel Miami Beach or Frieze, the main topic on everyone’s mind is contemporary art. But when you look across the country, one will be surprised to find quite a few art fairs where historic American art is not just present but featured prominently.
Of course, the biggest of these fairs is the American Art Fair, which takes place at the Bohemian National Hall on Newyork’s Upper East Side in November. this year, the fair’s 12th, will be held November 16 to 19 (www.theamericanartfair.com). One of our other favorites is the Boston
International Fine Art Show, taking place this year October 25 to 27 at the Cyclorama in Boston (www.fineartboston.com). It is in Boston where galleries such as Questroyal Fine Art and Avery Galleries set up for the weekend and offer works from artists ranging from Hudson River painters to classic American impressionists to modernists.all of these shows also offer programming, lectures, book signings and other educational opportunities so they are not just about seeing the art.
Another fair new this year that we are sponsoring is the Jackson Hole
Fine Art Fair (www.jacksonholefineartfair.com). this fair will have a little bit of everything, from Santa Fe modernists to historic wildlife and Western art. Further, it takes place September 12 to 15, the same weekend that the Jackson Hole Art Auction, Jackson Hole Fall Arts Festival and the National Wildlife Museum’s annual gala also take place.we love this weekend and we are sure you will as well. See what you can do to attend and participate this year.
One thing all of these events have in common is that American Fine Art
Magazine serves as a media sponsor for them.as a media sponsor, we have a presence at all these events, handing out magazines, moderating panel discussions, talking with collectors and generally spreading the word about historic American art.we do this because these are events where collectors, new and old, tend to gravitate toward, and we want to be the tool these collectors use to help them add new works to their collections. that is the force that drives everything we do. It’s why we are here and will continue to be here.
Sincerely,
P.S.WE have some very important and exciting announcements coming in the next few months! Stay tuned for details!
