The Art Fair Company, owners of SOFA Chicago, SOFA New York, SOFA Santa Fe, The Metro Show, and the Spring Show NYC, announced that the Metro Show has formed an alliance with Editions/Artists’ Book Fair. Editions/Artists‘ Book Fair was slated to take place November 1-4 of this year, but was cancelled due to Hurricane Sandy. The show will now run alongside the Metro Show, which is held in New York City’s Metropolitan Pavilion from January 23-27, 2013. Susan Inglett, the founder of Editions/Artists’ Book Fair said, “We are grateful to our colleagues at The Art Fair Company who have provided us this incredible opportunity.”
Now in its fifteenth year, Editions/Artists’ Book Fair showcases contemporary publishers and dealers and presents an array of prints, multiples, and artists’ books from over 60 international exhibitors. The show also includes site-specific installations, lectures, and screenings.
Next door at the Metro Show, which is helmed by Caroline Kerrigan Lerch, historic art will be presented alongside contemporary design. Works include paintings, furniture, drawings, prints, photographs, sculpture, folk art, textiles, and decorative arts.
