The New York art fairs are here and we’ve got coverage from Spring Break, Independent 20th Century, and Volta, plus our inaugural Armory Show Booth Awards with playful categories including the “Shiniest,” “Creepiest,” and “Most Duchampian.”
Also today, read Hrag Vartanian’s interview with artist Stephen Morrison, whose trompe l'oeil paintings of flower arrangements are memorials to his beloved late dog, as well as Required Reading, A View From the Easel, and more. Happy Friday!
— Hakim Bishara, Senior Editor
