The Armory Show jumpstarts New York art market after summer of hand-wringing

The Armory Show opened its 2024 edition in New York with solid sales during the VIP preview on September 4, providing a positive signal for the city's art market after a summer marked by gallery closures and economic uncertainty. The fair saw the return of over 20 galleries that had previously taken a hiatus, including Andrew Kreps, Uffner and Liu, Instituto de Visión, and White Cube for the first time since 1994. Fair director Kyla McMillan emphasized the importance of rooting the fair in New York and praised exhibitors for taking risks with experimental works, such as Nikita Gale's installation 'Interceptor' (2025), which sold for $60,000 before the preview began.
