OBSERVER: NADA New York Opens With Fewer Early Sales But Plenty of Potential

Missing was the sense of urgency that once fueled sell-out previews, but participating dealers are optimistic that compelling presentations paired with accessible pricing will bring fair-hopping buyers back around.

Tribeca gallery LATITUDE also sold 90 percent of its booth within the first two to three hours of the fair, presenting a solo booth of paintings by young Chinese artist Shangfeng Zhang. Exploring the intersection of contemporary life and the lingering emotional impact of mythology, Zhang brings mythic resonance into intimate moments of everyday life through a sequence of subdued interiors and inward-looking figures suspended in their environments. The psychologically charged atmospheres point to a rich inner world where imagination moves beyond the physical to find tropes and archetypes within recurring social patterns and roles. All works were priced under $3,000.
