THE FAIR
PHOTOFAIRS New York is a new contemporary art fair dedicated to photo-based works, digital art and new media. Taking place at the Javits Center, on Manhattan’s West Side, the Fair features a highly curated selection of exhibitors from around the world, presenting a state-of-the-art view of visual culture.
PHOTOFAIRS New York provides a dedicated space for galleries and audiences to explored the diverse and rapidly evolving landscape of image-making, from modern examples, to contemporary intersections with digital art and film, to the medium’s next frontiers. The Fair connects collectors and visitors with international galleries and boundary-pushing artists, inviting discourse and interaction.
New York’s enthusiasm for visual culture is seen through its strong and longstanding gallery scene, with more galleries representing photographers in the city than anywhere else in the world. A place for cultural enrichment, New York has made an impressive contribution to the medium’s development through its public collections and museum holdings being some of the finest in the world.
The United States holds the largest global market for photography and New York is home to more than half of the world’s high-end collectors and patrons of photography, making the city the ideal location for a contemporary fair championing photo-based works and digital art. PHOTOFAIRS New York enhances the city’s already rich cultural offerings in September and provides a strong draw for visitors and collectors.
Aiming to appeal to established collectors and a new, fast-growing, generation of buyers, the Fair is accompanied by an extensive VIP program including exclusive visits. The Fair also features a vibrant public program looking to cultivate and celebrate the changing dynamic of today’s visual culture.
The inaugural edition of PHOTOFAIRS New York will take place September 8-10, 2023 (VIP Preview Day September 7, 2023).
