Vibrant launch edition of PHOTOFAIRS New York energized collectors, institutions and the public around image-making
Exhibitors Reported Robust Sales Throughout the Week, Including Institutional Acquisitions #newyork, NY—September 10, 2023—PHOTOFAIRS #newyork today concluded a successful inaugural edition that brought together an international array of artists, galleries, and organizations at the forefront of photography and image-making. The week was marked by robust sales and strong attendance from major institutions, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Smithsonian National Museum of African Art, Museum of Contemporary Art Denver, and Carnegie Museum of Art, among others. The inaugural edition marked the launch of the 21c Acquisition Prize for which three works on view at the fair were selected by 21c Museum Hotels Co-Founders Laura Lee Brown and Steve Wilson along with Museum Director and Chief Curator Alice Gray Stites.
Presented September 8-10, 2023 at the Javits Center alongside The Armory Show, the fair introduced a new dimension to the global fair landscape and cemented the first week of September as the pulse point of New York’s arts calendar. #photofairsnewyork is organized by Creo and its majority shareholder Angus Montgomery Arts, and in collaboration with Candlestar.
“We are overwhelmed by the incredible response from the community of collectors, galleries, and art lovers who made the inaugural edition of #photofairsnewyork such a success,” says Director Helen Toomer. “Our intention was to honor this rapidly evolving intersection of photo-based practices and new technologies, which up until now, didn’t have a global platform in #newyork. It is a joy to have realized this vision to bring greater visibility and make new connections for these vastly talented artists, galleries and organizations who support them.”
“New York is the center of the international art world, and now, with the launch of #photofairsnewyork, there is a new platform perfectly positioned at the global nexus of contemporary art and photography to explore the medium as it evolves,” says Creo Founder and CEO Scott Gray. “We are proud to have created a central point for the growing community of collectors, dealers, and artists who are driving this ascendent area of the market to meet, engage, and exchange ideas with one another and we look forward to bringing everyone together again for our next edition.”
