ne week, seven art fairs. Call it a scheduling nightmare or an embarrassment of riches, this was the formidable task facing those in the New York art world this week.
What has traditionally been a fortnight of fair activity has been distilled into less than seven days this year, replete with a bevy of gallery openings and museum offerings across the Big Apple (which are covered in more detail in our guide to the whole of New York Art Week 2025). Full schedules, heavy art diets, and high step counts—such is the order of the week for art lovers in town.
Each of the seven art fairs taking place offers a different slice of the art world, from the gilded blue-chip fare of TEFAF to the bleeding-edge emerging art at NADA.
Yesterday, Artsy rounded up its 10 best booths from Frieze New York, the staple fair of the week. But it doesn’t stop there. We’ve done the hard yards to unearth some outstanding artworks at the six other fairs currently open across town: Esther II, NADA, Future Fair, TEFAF, Independent, and 1:54.
