The Armory Show is an international art fair in New York City, known as New York's Art Fair. Established in 1994 as the Gramercy International Art Fair by dealers Colin De Land, Pat Hearn, Lisa Spellman, Matthew Marks and Paul Morris, the annual fair is now held every fall for four days and attracts crowds of 65,000. The art fair reports sales of $85 million as of 2008.[1] Many smaller fairs and special events are held the same week in New York, effectively called "Armory Show Week" or "New York Arts Week".[2][3] The Armory Show was acquired by the London Frieze Art Fair in July 2023.[4]
