After more than $2 billion changed hands at the Big Three auction houses over the past two weeks, we couldn’t help but wonder whether anyone would still want to buy art at Frieze New York? The short answer is, yes.
Over the course of its four-day run, the fair’s sophomore edition at The Shed drew more than 20,000 visitors and more than 65 local and international galleries. Although it was a significantly slimmed-down version compared to past excursions on Randall’s Island, gallerists reported a “refined and energized” experience.
Below, see our roundup of all the prices galleries chose to share with us, but remember that some dealers occasionally inflate prices (or sometimes make them up) and others withhold sales figures altogether. We do not include sales unaccompanied by figures, so the galleries that tend to disclose numbers are disproportionately represented here. All prices have been converted to USD.
