VOLTA NY debuts at Pier 90 in Hell’s Kitchen, New York City, in the solo-project fair’s eighth stateside edition on March 5 to 8, 2015. 93 galleries across six continents converge on the new venue, situated adjacent to sister fair The Armory Show, delivering a dynamic survey of emerging and innovative contemporary talent by artists from 34 nations.
This year, over 80 percent of galleries have shown in prior VOLTA editions, both in New York and in Basel, exemplifying the fair’s distinctive identity as a boutique platform for new and salient contemporary art positions within a curated (and, in the case of New York, solo-project) format—the foundation of VOLTA’s mission since its 2005 Basel inception and arrival stateside in 2008.
