Frieze New York 2017 Highlights Feminist Artists and Venue Changes
Frieze New York 2017 shifted its location from Manhattan to Brooklyn during Frieze Week, contrasting with Armory Week's Manhattan focus. The European Fine Art Fair expanded its presence in New York. Many galleries at the fair emphasized feminist artists, reflecting a growing area of collector interest. Portal Art Fair's second edition appeared hurried and fragmented, possibly due to a last-minute venue change from Federal Hall to a ground-floor space in SoHo at 435 Broome Street between Broadway and Crosby. Opening events included a reception on Wednesday, May 3 from 6-9pm, with general hours from Thursday, May 4 to Monday, May 8, 11am-6pm. Admission was free. The fair was open today from 12-8 PM.
