History:
The Armory Show was founded in 1994 by four New York gallerists—Colin de Land, Pat Hearn, Matthew Marks and Paul Morris—who sought a platform to present and promote new voices in the visual arts. Originally known as the Gramercy International Art Fair, named after its initial location in the legendary Gramercy Park Hotel, The Armory Show acquired its present-day name following the fair's migration to the 69th Regiment Armory on Lexington Avenue in 1999. The fair’s name was chosen in homage to the legendary 1913 exhibition of the same name that famously showcased avant-garde works by European artists previously unseen in America. Named for this historic art event, the current Armory Show was inspired by the idea of presenting new art from around the world together under one roof.. Since its founding 23 year ago, The Armory Show has stayed firm to its original mission, promoting
galleries and their artists by connecting them to patrons, curators and critics from around the world. Today, The Armory Show welcomes over 65,000 visitors annually and serves as an important nexus for the international art world.
During the show, Paul Kasmin Gallery will be presenting the work of Ivan Navarro "WeBeatMe"
