MARC STRAUS in The Art Newspaper


The Art Newspaper covered this weekend’s Armory show, and named our booth, which featured new works by Marie Watt. The Art Newspaper wrote, “There is a notable amount of figurative work offered across the fair, especially pieces that featured or were made by people of colour, a nod to the market’s recent love affair with the human figure and the art world’s broader attempts to become a more equitable place.”

According to The Art Newspaper, our booth was a standout in the Focus section of the fair, “Watts’s textured, layered work shares a theme, at least in spirit, which seemed to trickle through many of the booths at the fair.”
