The Armory Show – Review – Art – New York Times
From the NY Times re: Armory Art Fair:
“The weekend ahead will be spiced with visits to private New Yorkcollections, one “vibrant,” another “quite personal,” another “on the66th floor.” And it will include “Critical Conversations in a Limo,”intimate chats between V.I.P.’s and critics and curators for hire heldin cars zipping between the Armory Show and DIVA, the Digital and VideoArt Fair, one of several concurrent fairs in the city. (Scope Art Fair,the Pulse-Art Fair and the Los Angeles Art Fair are others.)”

Maybe they mean “critical” in a different sense of the word, i.e. “Can you believe that derivative junk? Yoko Ono was doing the same thing, and better, back in the 1970s. And what’s with that artist’s outfit — she looked like Chloe Sevigny got dressed in the dark…” :-)

the armory show, while not a waste, was not the avant-guard of the art world. i was suprised not to have been stunned by new and vibrant, at least eclectic, works when my wife and i vistited yesterday. galleries do not appear to not looking for innovative and well executed art but what sells, not even finding that. anyway nothing of note, and nothing eye-popping or notable. of course at the modern portion of the armory show there were some pieces of interest. the comtempory had no sizzle whatsoever; after all this is the armory
