By the time the onslaught of Armory Week fairs swing open their doors to the public, the art world elite has already seen, Instagrammed, and reached a verdict on them. Not to mention claimed the best artworks for their collections.
How do they do it? At a series of VIP previews morning, afternoon, and night, many of which are followed by even more exclusive afterparties. Didn’t get the invite? See everything you missed, including Swizz Beatz and Kehinde Wiley hanging at Sean Kelly’s Armory Show booth, Bill Cunningham surveying the scene, and a late night shindig at MoMA. And if you’re an insider that somehow managed to make it to everything you were invited to, take a load of and enjoy the weekend. You’ve earned it.
