Mark your calendars. Printed Matter’s annual Art Book Fair is back, this time without the long lines and unruly crowds. Catch the extended virtual event February 24–28 and enjoy a break from those endless Zoom meetings.
In the galleries, check out Angel Otero’s exquisite interiors, the penetrating heat of De Por Vida, and the raw vulnerability of We Wear the Mask, as well as so much more.
Don’t forget your masks (two, after all, is always better than one).
