The Armory Show and Volta return with a vengeance<\/h3>\n

By Clanci Jo Conover<\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

Every March, Armory Week dominates the New York art scene with its numerous art fairs and special events. Its namesake,\u00a0the Armory Show<\/a>, features a myriad of dealers specializing in 20th and 21st-century artwork across two massive piers on Manhattan\u2019s west side. In the past, the contemporary art fair\u00a0Volta<\/a>\u00a0took place at the piers alongside the Armory Show, but, in 2019, due to structural issues at Pier 92, the fair was canceled roughly one week before it was scheduled to open. This year, both the Armory Show and Volta return with a vengeance.<\/p>\n

Volta\u2019s new director envisions the fair\u2019s purpose in placing artists in the spotlight<\/h4>\n

Enter Volta<\/a>. Volta is a modestly sized fair that found its roots in New York 13 years ago at Armory Week. Since the mishaps at the piers last year left Volta without its usual home, it took up residence on 46th and 12th at\u00a0Metropolitan West<\/a>. This more intimate venue represents new director Kamiar Maleki\u2019s vision for the fair to return to its original purpose of spotlighting artists and their work, bringing galleries together from different parts of the globe to create grounds for them to be discovered.<\/p>\n

Volta offers a worldwide range of artists waiting to become the next big thing<\/h4>\n

With the \u00a0Armory show around the corner, Volta offers an escape from the busy mega fair. Dealers from Memphis to Accra and Kyoto showed cohesive, curated booths. Many exhibitors chose to feature just one artist, as did, for example, Roger Katwijk from Amsterdam, who showed work by Jae Ko (some might remember his installation from\u00a02018 Art on Paper)<\/a>.<\/p>\n
