New York's Other Art Fair Makes Its Case for the Past

· 1 min read

Independent 20th Century, the history-minded companion to the contemporary art fair Independent, is having a strong showing in New York this year. Where its sister fair chases the newest names, this edition builds its booths around artists and periods with an established record. It is a reminder, each fall, that a case can be made for the work that came before as much as the work that just arrived.

With reporting from ARTnews.
