Organizers of art fairs in the Hamptons, N.Y.; Aspen, Colo.; and San Francisco have selected Houston, Texas, as their next venue.
Hamptons Expo Group hopes to draw about 10,000 visitors for the inaugural Houston Fine Art Fair to be held Sept. 15-18 at the George R. Brown Convention Center.
With a focus on post-war and contemporary art, the fair will present about 6,000 works by 500 artists from a growing roster of leading galleries such as Mark Borghi Fine Art, Jonathan Novak Contemporary Art, Louis Stern Fine Arts, Throckmorton Fine Arts, Timothy Yarger Fine Art, Jerald Melberg Gallery, and many others.
The organizers hope to entice more top-tier international galleries to exhibit.
