RED DOT NEW YORK
RED DOT is a
vetted, hotel-based art fair in New York where
approximately 40 galleries will show and sell
works to the public on two adjacent floors of
the elegant Park South Hotel. Galleries
participating in RED DOT
come from across the US and abroad. RED
DOT’s roster
includes young dealers exhibiting for the first
time, as well as more established dealers turned
off by the pressures of other art fairs. This is
why RED DOT is of
special interest to art lovers and savvy art
collectors wishing to get beyond what is
currently popular to see what is percolating in
areas as yet undiscovered by the mainstream.
RED DOT promotes no
aesthetic stance beyond it goal of extending
visibility to quality galleries and artists who
might otherwise go unnoticed because of limited
discretionary budgets. RED
DOT is a return to the roots of most US
art fairs; to a time when young, forward-looking
galleries had to rely on innovation, surprise
and whimsy to show and sell exciting
non-market-tested works instead of showing safe
bets to meet expenses. RED
DOT works because it allows dealers to
take real risks and show works they really
believe in.
