Overview
- The fair reopened in November 2026 under Kinsey Robb’s sole leadership after the ADAA cancelled the 2025 edition as a “strategic pause” to reassess how it serves members.
- Organizers intentionally reduced the exhibitor roster to 63 galleries and reworked the Park Avenue Armory layout to create more space and a focused visitor flow.
- The roster mixes long-standing ADAA members with first-time exhibitors, and presentations lean toward Modern and post-war secondary-market works rather than mostly contemporary programming.
- Dealers reported both high-end offerings and sales across price bands, including asking prices of about $2.4 million for an Agnes Pelton and $1.6 million for a Beauford Delaney alongside multiple six-figure and lower-priced sales.
- The Whitney partnership and new programming have shifted foot traffic and attracted a younger crowd, a change that organizers hope will reshape who attends ADAA events and how galleries connect with buyers.
