The NYC Jewelry, Antique, & Object Show is back this spring, and for 2026, it’s giving collectors exactly what they asked for more time to browse, discover, and swoon.

I’ve been attending NYC’s biannual Affordable Art Fair for the past ten years, with the exception of 2020, when both the Spring and Fall fairs — like everything else — were preempted by Covid. Since that Year Without Art, the AAF has come back bigger than ever! This season, the art seemed especially vibrant and varied, and I had a fantastic time, strolling from floor to floor while sipping a free Hard Iced Tea from the open bar and checking out all of my favorite art and art peeps. Please enjoy my photos from a really good first night at the Metropolitan Pavilion. Continue reading Favorite Art from The Affordable Art Fair, Spring 2024!

OMG!

‘Surreal‘ is the word I would use to describe being in attendance at the absolutely packed Spring 2022 edition of the Affordable Art Fair, which took place in late March, but which I am just now getting around to telling you about, because things are surreal all over. Just like in the Before Times, the fair was crazy crowded — like Covid never happened. No one checked vax cards at the door and masks were optional (read: nonexistent). Is that good or bad? I don’t know anymore. All I can say is that the entire time I was inside the Metropolitan Pavilion was like being transported inside Mr. Peabody’s Wayback Machine. That said, let’s check out some of my favorite art from the show, much of which is definitely surreal!
