Armory Week’s namesake event started life in 1995 as a funky gathering of young downtown dealers at the Gramercy Park Hotel, and has since grown into one of the art world’s biggest events. Previous Armory Shows have featured separate fairs-within-the-fair devoted to 20th-century modern and contemporary art, respectively, but now the two are combined into one event showcasing more than 240 galleries from 30 countries, as well as talks, programs, performances and commissioned artworks.
