When Market Art + Design opens its doors tonight, it will reveal a new focus for its Hamptons art fair. For the first time, the fair includes a curated section on design and will present furniture and objects. Renamed from Art Market Hamptons to Market Art + Design, the name switch acknowledges the shift in pairing fine art with design and placing them on equal footing. (Read Talking With Max Fishko on Adding Design to Market Art + Design to discover more).
