As NY Negotiates COVID-19 Rent Freeze, Small Galleries Threatened by Landlords
While a NY Senate bill proposes a 90-day rent suspension, small NYC galleries say their landlords have ignored requests for negotiation during their closures.
With Viral Petition, NYC Galleries Appeal for COVID-19 Aid From City
“If no action is taken, these businesses will not survive and many artists and art workers will be left without a system of support,” explains the petition spearheaded by New Dealers Alliance (NADA).
Much Ado About NADA
MIAMI BEACH — The New Art Dealers Association (NADA) fair, currently in its 10th year, has established itself as something of a leading face for the “alternative” to the commercial excesses of Art Basel Miami and its orbit.
The Death of Context at NADA New York
With the permanent invasion of art fairs into the art world economy like a plague, most galleries, no matter how cutting-edge or avant-garde, seem to believe (whether from actual or perceived necessity) that they must participate in all of the increasingly frequent art fair seasons. This endless stream of fairs forces smaller galleries that show conceptual, abstract, or experimental work into a setting devoid of context, stripping the art of its desired impact or importance. While I’m certainly not the first to point this out, nowhere was it more noticeable recently than at NADA New York.
NADA’s New Grown-Up Look
This year’s New York incarnation of the NADA art fair suggested that the gathering of young emerging galleries often characterized as the minor leagues of Frieze and other “major league” art fairs has grown up quite a bit. Yet with maturity comes a tendency towards conservatism, and that was reflected in countless booths filled with small, affordable works and unremarkable displays on white walls.
Charting New Territory in the Art Blogosphere

Can an Art Fair Ever Be More Than an Art Fair?
MIAMI — NADA art fair has a reputation in Miami: it’s thought of by a lot of people as one of the best, most interesting art fairs in town. It upholds its claim to newer and more cutting-edge work on its website: “Each December in Miami, NADA runs a renowned art fair to vigorously pursue our goals of exploring new or underexposed art that is not typical of the ‘art establishment.’”
Nada Art Fair Threatens Galleries over Competing Fairs
The Nada Art Fair has sent a letter to the galleries included in its 2012 Miami fair, threatening that those who have also signed up to participate in the new, competing Untitled Miami fair will not be asked to return to Nada next year, Christian Viveros-Faune, writing at The Art Newspaper, reports.
