Held at Casa Cipriani at the Battery Maritime Building, the Independent 20th Century fair brings together a range of historic artists, from Edvard Munch and Pablo Picasso to the Florida Highwaymen and Ernie Barnes. Some notable must-sees include a two-person presentation by Salon 94 of stoneware sculpture by Dorothy Salhab Kazemi and paintings by Huguette Caland, which together create a dialogue between the artists’ Lebanese heritage and 20th-century European Modernism. A colourful and sprawling installation from Judy Pfaff hints at an upcoming show at Cristin Tierney’s new Tribeca space, while work by Dusti Bongé and Ralph Iwamoto, presented by Hollis Taggart, reveals under-represented voices in the evolution of American Modernism.
