Sanford L. Smith & Associates Present ART20

“A predominance of prominent dealers exhibiting 20th century modernist work and a sprinkling of younger galleries showing zesty contemporary art characterizes Art20,” remarks The New York Times’ Benjamin Genocchio of Sanford Smith’s youngest fair.

This November, for the 6th year, collectors, curators and art lovers from all over the world will gather in the Park Avenue Armory to participate in an emerging tradition and the discovery of contemporary classics at the fall season’s paramount art exhibition in New York. One can expect to find museum quality works for sale in an array of mediums including
paintings, prints, photography and sculpture.
