PULSE New York is switching things up and will present its contemporary art fair to coincide with Armory Week in New York City. Look for PULSE New York from March 5 to 8, 2015 at the Metropolitan Pavilion in Chelsea.
Exhibited will be a curated selection of contemporary art by 44 galleries featuring work by 100 or so international artists. The majority of exhibitors will focus on works by three artists or less. Around a third will showcase two artists in conversation. Deciding to feature fewer artists so a broader range of art can be viewed is one way PULSE creates art fair environments that are friendly to discover contemporary artists.
