How the Studio Museum in Harlem Reshaped the Art World

The Studio Museum in Harlem, founded in 1968 in a rented loft above a liquor store, will open its first purpose-built 82,000-square-foot building on West 125th Street this fall, following a landmark $300 million capital campaign led by director and chief curator Thelma Golden. Designed by Adjaye Associates with Cooper Robertson, the new facility doubles the exhibition and studio space and includes dedicated areas for performance, education, and public programs. The museum, which has operated without a permanent space since 2018, has been a pioneering platform for artists of African descent, launching the careers of figures like David Hammons, Kerry James Marshall, Glenn Ligon, and Simone Leigh through its groundbreaking exhibitions and artist-in-residence program.

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.
