Of the several art fairs in town (the Armory Show 2013, Scope New York, The Independent), Volta NY gets it right.  Its even more right for the 2013 edition in its new location in SoHo.

Volta, unlike the other art fairs, allows only one artist per booth.  This mini-gallery experience makes viewing art much more like a gallery, cramped as it is.

Moving it away from Midtown to downtown is an asset.  It’s not as convenient, and the floor plan is more broken up compared to last year, but the feeling to view art is better here.

Here are a few things that I liked at Volta NY.

Christine Ferichs at Gallery KM, Los Angeles
