From late March last year, coronavirus forced the cancellation of every New York art fair. Now one is making a cautious return Frieze New York (5-9 May), the first in-person, one venue fair to be held in the city since the Armory in 2020. The fair has abandoned Randall’s Island a chore to get to from anywhere moving instead to The Shed, a non-profit cultural institution in Manhattan’s Hudson Yards. Rebecca Ann Siegel, Frieze’s director of Americas and content, says: “The Shed was designed for flexibility, both in its architecture and its programming, which made it the best partner for this year.”
