chelsea art fair chelsea hotel 2025

The Chelsea Art Fair returned for its second edition at New York's Chelsea Hotel, with a VIP preview on Saturday and a one-day public run on Sunday. Organized by Platform (now owned by Basic Space), the intimate fair featured just five exhibitors—56 Henry, Lomex, Magenta Plains, Ramiken, and Castle—plus a special presentation by Off Paradise. Collector Beth Rudin DeWoody was the first to arrive, and other VIPs included Mark Ronson, Jamie Cohen Hort, and Whitney Museum curator Dan Nadel. Dealer Ellie Rines reported strong sales, swapping out a work after it sold within 30 minutes, and some 3,000 people registered for the event.
