Between the eccentric fashion choices, unbounded creative energy, bizarre inflatable installations, whirlwind of paintings and sculptures, and the sound of a beating drum curiously humming in the background, walking through the 2016 Armory Show feels a bit like being in the circus. With over 200 gallery exhibition booths offering the best in modern and contemporary art, unless you’re a collector with a very specific idea of what you’re looking for, the experience of attending the show can be overwhelming. In a space that’s simultaneously crowded and airy, and overflowing with creative talent, it becomes difficult to connect with and appreciate a work of art. You leave with only a blurred conception of the colors and warped textures of the works you’ve just seen. Here are a few things you should know about this year’s Armory Show, lauded as New York City’s largest international art fair.

Vincenza Di Maggio

È iniziato tutto con un dipinto, Venere e Adone di Tiziano. “Scrivi quello che vedi”, mi disse la mia professoressa di storia dell'arte. E con queste parole accese un fuoco che avrebbe guidato la mia carriera come scrittrice e storica dell'arte. Dopo il Master in History of Art and Archaeology dell'Istituto di Belle Arti della NYU, uno stage al MoMA e collaborazioni con Condé Nast Traveler, The Architect’s Newspaper e INSIDE F&B. Di origini siciliane, sono nata e cresciuta a New York. Quando non scrivo, mi immergo nella vivace scena artistica di Manhattan, divenendo testimone diretto dell'effetto trasformativo che l'arte può avere su una città e viceversa. It started with a painting. It was Titian’s Venus and Adonis. “Write what you see,” my college art history professor said to me. With those four words she ignited a fire within me that would drive my career as a writer, and as an art historian. I graduated with an MA in the History of Art & Archaeology from NYU’s Institute of Fine Arts, and recently completed an internship at MoMA. I have done freelance work for Condé Nast Traveler, The Architect’s Newspaper, and INSIDE F&B. Sicilian in origin, but I was born and raised in New York. When I’m not writing, I’m immersing myself in Manhattan’s vibrant art scene, witnessing first hand the beautifully transformative effect the arts can have on a city.
