“The 2023 edition of The Armory Show welcomes to New York an impressive array of exhibitors from around the United States and the world,” says executive director Nicole Berry. “The scope of international participation among both gallerists and artists reflects the rich diversity of the city itself, a place where art professionals of all backgrounds have historically come to push boundaries and join in a global conversation. The early fall, with its change of season, is an evocative time to experience New York, and we are thrilled to offer The Armory Show’s expansive exhibitions and programming as an exciting centerpiece to that moment.”

The show will feature several unique groupings: Galleries, which are curated spaces by galleries from around the world; Solo, a section dedicated to intimate single-artist presentations; Presents, which is a distinction for galleries less than 10 years old; and then Curated Sections, thematically unified curatorial areas that will explore and examine historical narratives.
