New York's big week of 12 modern and contemporary art fairs and various events is buzzing with talk of pop artist Jeff Koons' curatorial picks from the collection of Greek tycoon Dakis Joannou. On view at the New Museum are 100 works in "Skin Fruit," including, of course, a Koons.

At the Art Show at the Armory, Richard Feigen is showing a $750,000 Warhol and $2 million Miro while Acquavella Galleries has a $5 million Magritte depicting a bloody plaster head.

For hot picks in the up-and-coming category, the Armory Show, held along the piers of the Hudson, showcases 209 contemporary art exhibitors as well as 80 specialists in 20th-century art.
