History of The Armory
Show
The Armory Show, housed in Piers 92 and 94 along the Hudson
River on Manhattan’s west side, is the largest art fair in New York and one of
the principal annual art events in the international art market calendar.
Visited by tens of thousands of people each March, the Armory has for almost
two decades been the showpiece for some of the world’s most important modern
and contemporary art galleries. Canonical names from Picasso to Pollock have
all been presented at the fair, as have, in equal measure, some of the most
cutting edge artists of a younger generation.
