The twelfth edition marks another milestone for the fair with the introduction of Armory Focus, a new section that will feature an important art community every year and is premiering with Berlin. This year The Armory Show features 267 galleries from 31 countries.

Armory Focus:Berlin includes 21 of the German capital’s leading emerging and established galleries. “Our goal is to cross-pollinate art communities,” says Executive Director Katelijne De Backer. “We want our Berlin dealers to benefit from the vitality of Armory Arts Week and for New York City to benefit from Berlin’s creativity.”

Among the new exhibitors next year are a notable selection of galleries from the Lower East Side, including Lisa Cooley Fine Art, Eleven Rivington, James Fuentes, Laurel Gitlen (Small A Projects), Simon Preston Gallery, Rental and Rachel Uffner Gallery.

Meanwhile, the major galleries are returning, including 303 Gallery, Galleria Massimo De Carlo, Deitch Projects, Hauser & Wirth, Sean Kelly, Andrew Kreps Gallery, Yvon Lambert, Lisson Gallery, Marlborough Gallery, Victoria Miro, Edward Tyler Nahem Fine Art, Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac, Galerie Daniel Templon, Galerie Thomas, White Cube, Zeno X Gallery and David Zwirner.

“Our mission is to offer collectors the best art from 1900 to today,” says Vice President Paul Morris. “We introduced The Armory Show – Modern last year to give the fair a broader historical span, and this year, with Armory Focus, we expand on our original mandate of providing a rich platform for primary market gallerists.”
