The New Artists / New Collectors program, presented by Bank of America, is an exciting new program designed to connect collectors to new artists and new galleries, forging deeper connections and encouraging conversation and engagement at the fair. A Selection Committee of esteemed art world experts selected 10 artworks which are highlighted below and in the gallery’s booths. All chosen works highlight this notion of innovation, either an artist making their debut at the fair or working with a new medium, or a gallery presenting an artist new to their roster.
