VOLTA NY is the American incarnation of the successful young fair founded in Basel in 2005. VOLTA NY was conceived to continue the original mandate to create a tightly-focused, boutique affair that would be a place for discovery and concentrate on current and topical art production.

VOLTA NY introduced a new format with exclusively solo projects, conceived to complement the exciting program of art available during The Armory Arts Week. The Armory Show Executive Director Katelijne de Backer stated, “The VOLTA fair is one of these gems that has emerged on the art fair circuit in recent years and that no one can ignore. As we are part of the same family now, it was only obvious that we invite them to New York.”

VOLTA NY is organized as an invitational show, organized by Director Amanda Coulson, conceived to complement the offerings across town at the Pier. By putting the focus back on artists through exclusively featuring solo projects, VOLTA NY promotes a deep exploration of the work of its selected artists and galleries, an opportunity for discoveries that move beyond those afforded by a traditional art fair.

VOLTA NY is located at 7W 34th Street, directly across from Manhattan’s classic icon, The Empire State Building.
