New York City’s contemporary art world is constantly transforming — within the historic district of Chelsea alone, there are more than 350 world-class art galleries and exhibition spaces. That’s a lot of ground to cover! But three recent shows — The Armory Show, The Fountain Art Fair, and The Verge, offer a great overview of the art world as it lives now. Jason Patrick Voegele — curator, artist, writer and founder of Republic Worldwide [www.republicworldwide.com] — was there and has this report.
