For over 60 years, the Art Dealers Association of America (ADAA) has supported the US' leading fine art galleries, allowing them to focus on the economic and cultural contributions they offer their communities and the world at large. Today, the organization includes over 200 diverse member galleries from nearly 40 U.S. cities. These galleries represent hundreds of established and emerging artists internationally. As the only fair with a rigorous peer review process where all booth proposals are vetted by the ADAA member galleries that have applied, the resulting standard of connoisseurship has become synonymous with The Art Show.
THE ART SHOW 2024 SOLO EXHIBITIONS
This year, 43 solo presentations at the fair promote in-depth study and focused critical attention on a wide array of artists, spanning iconic art historical figures and an intergenerational range of voices in contemporary art, with a particular focus on women artists. They include:
• A new suite of carefully rendered oil on canvas paintings depicting imagined interiors by Quentin James McCaffrey, in a focused presentation by Nicelle Beauchene Gallery.
• Never-before-seen works by Alison Elizabeth Taylor that transform the historic technique of wood inlay into marquetry hybrid and collage pieces, presented by James Cohan.

• Lucy Mackenzie’s timeless still life oil paintings of everyday objects isolated in space, presented by Nancy Hoffman Gallery.

• New paintings by Seth Becker alongside a suite of “Real Photo Postcards” from the artist’s collection at Venus Over Manhattan’s booth.
THE ART SHOW 2024 TWO-PERSON & GROUP EXHIBITIONS
The two-person and group presentations at The Art Show 2024 examine a diverse range of art historical moments and themes, with a preponderance of exhibitors emphasizing cross-cultural dialogues, mentorship and legacy, intergenerational dialogue among women artists, and artists’ social relationships. Highlights from these multiartist booths include:
• Castelli Gallery’s presentation which examines the connections and cross-cultural dialogue between Japanese conceptual artist Arakawa (1936-2010) and American sculptor Robert Morris (1931-2018), who met in the early 1960s during their overlapping time residing in artist Yoko Ono’s downtown New York City loft.
• A presentation by Luxembourg + Co. exploring the work of Isamu Noguchi (1904-1988) and Katsumi Nakai (1927-2013), two innovators in the field of sculpture who shared an aspiration to translate Japanese craft traditions into a new geographic context.
• George Adams Gallery’s presents a survey of two expansive and idiosyncratic artists newly represented by the gallery, featuring the expressive figurative artwork of M. Louise Stanley and sculptural works by Elisa D’Arrigo.

• A presentation by Altman Siegel highlighting Adaline Kent (1900-1957) and Ruth Laskey, two female artists from different generations living and working in the Bay Area.

THE ART SHOW 2024 "SPOTLIGHT ON... HOUSTON"
Launching this year, a new annual initiative titled “Spotlight On…” will feature a different city every year with a robust cohort of ADAA member galleries. This year’s focus will be the vibrant arts community of Houston, Texas. “Spotlight On…Houston” serves as a platform for an in-depth exploration of the city’s distinctive art scene, bringing its foremost artists, curators, museum directors, dealers, cultural advocates, and collectors together to highlight the innovative work taking place in its institutions, alternative art spaces, and galleries.
The “Spotlight On… Houston” panel discussion series offers insightful examinations of the city’s visionary arts programs and their impact on the surrounding community, and includes a conversation with Houston institutional leaders, John Guess, Jr. (Chief Executive Officer, Houston Museum of African American Culture), Hesse McGraw (Executive Director, Contemporary Arts Museum Houston), Alison Weaver (Founding Executive Director, Moody Center for the Arts at Rice University), and Michelle White (Senior Curator, The Menil Collection) on creating sustainable futures within an evolving art world landscape, moderated by Julia Halperin (Co-Founder, Burns Halperin Report); a roundtable exploration on the importance of supporting artists directly via alternative art spaces with Paola Creixell (Founder, PAC Art Residency), Xandra Eden (Executive Director, DiverseWorks), Pete Gershon (Curator of Programs, Orange Show Center for Visionary Art), and Danielle Burns Wilson (Executive Director/Art Director, Project Row Houses), facilitated by Ali RosaSalas (Vice President of Visual and Performing Arts, Abrons Arts Center/Henry Street Settlement); and a convening of storied Houston collectors Leah Bennett, Judy Nyquist, and Leigh Smith in a discussion on the evolution of fine arts philanthropy in the region, led by Sarah Douglas (Editor-in-Chief, ARTnews).
ADAA worked with Texas-based filmmakers, Walley Films, to create a short documentary that will premiere at the fair. It will feature Houston ADAA members—Inman Gallery, McClain Gallery, Josh Pazda Hiram Butler, Sicardi | Ayers | Bacino, and Texas Gallery—and further enrich the initiative’s exploration of Houston and its environs.
Kinsey Robb, Executive Director of the ADAA, comments: “The establishment of ‘Spotlight On…’ creates a powerful new platform to explore the vibrant artistic communities that define the strength and national scope of the ADAA. We are thrilled to launch this initiative with ‘Spotlight On…Houston’ which provides us the opportunity to deepen our understanding of the city’s dynamic arts community while attracting new audiences and fostering new relationships at the fair.”
