New York art fairs help put Clevelanders on the map
Published March 18th, 2006
Last weekend brought swarms of artists and art collectors to this capital of the art world for several concurrent art fairs, including Scope New York, a 30,000-square-foot booth fair featuring 80 galleries.
Scope, founded in 2002, included two Cleveland galleries this year — Shaheen Modern and Contemporary Art and M Percent Gallery — as well as the Icelandic gallery Turpentine, whose sole featured artist was Cleveland Heights weaver Hildur Jonsson.
The city’s largest fair was the Armory Show, which included 154 galleries from around the world. Among them, Chicago’s Donald Young Gallery devoted its entire booth to recent drawings by Robert Mangold, a 1960 graduate of the Cleveland Institute of Art.
Along with other fairs, including the Pulse-Art Fair and DIVA, the Digital and Video Art Fair, the weekend was packed with limited-access events, such as private receptions and tours of art collections by big-time collectors such as Cleveland native Agnes Gund.
