If one of the first IRL art fairs in many, many moons is any indication, there’s plenty of pent-up demand to see and to buy art again.
The second edition of the Marfa Invitational, which took place from April 22 to 25 (the 2020 version was cancelled due to the pandemic), generated a lot of enthusiasm and steady sales this past weekend.
Organized by founder and contemporary artist Michael Phelan, and billed as “part art fair, part exhibition, part experience,” the event featured a very manageable list of nine invited dealers from around the world who welcomed guests taking advantage of no-fee admissions.
