THE ARMORY SHOW, 3 - 7marzo 2010

La nuova fiera Armory che prende il nome dall'edificio (69th Regiment Armory) che ospitò la mostra The International Exhibition of Modern Art per la prima volta nel 1913 fu organizzata dalla Association of American Painters and Sculptors. Dal 1994 l'Armory nuova versione ha ripreso l'attività espositiva e in anni recenti è diventata la fiera americana di punta dell'arte moderna e contemporanea degli ultimi undici anni. New York nel mese di marzo si anima ovimentando addetti ai lavori da tutto il mondo che si danno appuntamento qui per la Armory Art Week.
