Hot art fair Frieze New York has canceled its 2020 edition because of the coronavirus pandemic.
The fair was to take place on Randall’s Island May 7-10. It usually includes around 200 exhibitors housed in white tents at the site — as well as hipster food options and plenty of VIP attendees.
But a notice went out this week from organizers explaining: “In light of global health concerns and following advice and restrictions from local, national, international and health authorities, it is with great regret that we have to cancel Frieze New York 2020.” The fair’s LA edition successfully went off last month with attendees including Jennifer Lopez, Kendall Jenner, Leo DiCaprio and ASAP Rocky among others at Paramount Studios.
As with other live events and conferences, the coronavirus pandemic has wreaked havoc on the art world. Art Basel Hong Kong called off its 2020 fair, which was scheduled for this month. (The event has instead launched online viewing rooms. The digital initiative had been in the works already but was fast-tracked because of the coronavirus outbreak. The online version will include two VIP days, then open to public viewing.)
Meantime, museums including the Met, Whitney and MoMA have all shut down, and gallerists including Larry Gagosian and David Zwirner have closed their global locations temporarily.
The Met reportedly foresees losing as much as $100 million because of the coronavirus crisis.
