ARTnews names Praise Shadows, Magenta Plains and Martha's among best booths at 2026 Armory Show
Praise Shadows, Magenta Plains and Martha's have been named among the best booths at the 2026 Armory Show in New York.
The picks come from a list titled "The Best Booths at the 2026 Armory Show, New York," published by ARTnews on 25 September ARTnews. A booth is a gallery's own display area inside the fair, a small show within the larger event. The list points visitors toward three such displays.
The Armory Show 2026 runs from 24 to 27 September at the Javits Center in New York The Armory Show. The venue address is 429 11th Avenue, New York, NY 10001 The Armory Show. The ARTnews selection was published during the run, while the fair was open to visitors.
The fair has been part of New York's cultural landscape since 1994. It opens the city's autumn art season each year by bringing leading international contemporary and modern art galleries to the Javits Center. Contemporary in this context means work being made by artists working now. Modern generally means work from the twentieth century and earlier.
What makes this stand out for a first-time visitor is the question of where to start. An art fair can be noisy and crowded, with one display after another. A short list of three gives people a clear entry point.
For fans following from elsewhere, this means the fair is not confined to one building. Artworks from the 2026 edition are available to explore online until 4 October. The fair's Online Viewing Room, a web page where works can be viewed away from the halls, is open from 17 September to 4 October.
There are other practical details for anyone planning a visit. Guided tours of the fair are offered in English and Spanish. Tickets for the 2026 edition are now on sale. Galleries hoping to take part in this year's fair faced an application deadline of Friday, 19 December 2025.
