Asian Art Fair Cancelled
In a move reflecting the current slump in the global art market and mixed results at Basel Miami fairs earlier this month, The International Asian Art Fair, (previoulsy scheduled to be held at the Park Avenue Armory from March 11-15) has been cancelled by London-based Haughton International Fairs.
A statement released on the fair organizer’s website states: “Due to the present global economic situation we have regrettably taken the decision to cancel The International Asian Art Fair for 2009…Many of the dealers who had contracted to take part are not in a position to go forward in the current climate and as such we have decided a fair would put an untenable strain on their resources. We hope to be able to re-launch the fair in 2010 and look forward to working with our exhibitors again.”
With just a few remaining hours of the year left, indeed this is one more reminder that tonight we should all party like its 1999.
