For The Better

This week: Audre Lorde beyond the famous quotes, women activists in Haiti, the Black Polar explorer you’ve never heard of, a walrus takes a sabbatical, and much more.

“Best Booth”? No, thank you. This year, we honor the real standouts at the fair, from the shiniest artworks to the most Duchampian.

For its 13th edition, the fair brings its imaginative spirit to an environment that could certainly use it: a floor of a Tribeca office building.

Highlights include Lenore Tawney’s fiber work, Selby Warren’s mixed-media paintings, and Julia Isídrez’s ceramics.

Seven galleries show work by artists from Ukraine and its diaspora in a special exhibition at the fair.

What makes Stephen Morrison’s paintings of flower arrangements particularly special is that his beloved dog, Tilly, is integrated into the flowers themselves.

“My space is not too big and not too small. It allows me to work smart.”
