9 Incredible Objects from Armory Art Fair Week
We checked out Armory Art Fair Week and these 9 sculptures took the prize for "most innovative".
Last week, New York City hosted the annual ?Armory Art Fair Week? ? a four day race (literally running) to view over 600 galleries spread across 8 fairs. In search of something I?ve never seen before, these 9 sculptures took the prize for “most innovative”:

Alien-landscape-like collages by Gustavo Dia begin as excruciatingly detailed drawings (I?m told he sharpens his mechanical pencil every few seconds when he works). These new works translate his designs into laser-cut paper. Presented by Sicardi Gallery of Houston Texas, at The Armory Show.
Nicole Wermers, Shell Ashtray 2018

Presented by Jessica Silverman Gallery of San Francisco at The Armory Show. Note: This is NOT a functional object ? the cigarettes (one stained with red lipstick) are part of the sculpture.
Rob Rhee
