The Independent art fair has announced 66 galleries that will participate in its forthcoming edition in New York, scheduled to take over Lower Manhattan’s Spring Studios May 5–8.
Several New York galleries are lined up to offer their wares at the fair, including Canada, Mitchell-Innes & Nash, P.P.O.W., Derek Eller Gallery, and Ross + Kramer, which made headlines earlier this month when it announced that 15 NFTs it owned, valued at $2.2 million, had been digitally stolen.
Other galleries taking part include L.A.’s Night Gallery, London’s Alison Jacques, Brazil’s A Gentil Carioca, and Chicago’s Corbett vs. Dempsey. Sixteen galleries will participate in the fair for the first time, among them Miami’s Nina Johnson, L.A.’s Kristine Kite, and New York’s Kasmin, Essex Street, and Nicola Vassell Gallery.

This year’s edition marks a return to the fair’s typical number of exhibitors, after the 2021 edition at a different location (Cipriani South Street) featured only 40 exhibitors in a more pandemic-friendly iteration. The fair’s dates in May also mark a departure from past timing around the Armory Show in September. The 2022 fair will coincide with three other fairs—TEFAF New York, NADA, and Future Fair—as it runs two weeks before Frieze New York.
In an email, Independent founder Elizabeth Dee said, “Guaranteed to inspire even the most well informed collectors, Independent in May will champion the world’s most exciting artists and reveal new discoveries by a visionary group of galleries.”

Correction, January 14, 2022: An earlier version of this article stated that Art on Paper will occur during the first week of May 2022. The fair has shifted its dates to September 8–11, 2022. The article has been updated to reflect this.
Update, February 11, 2022: This article has been updated to include six galleries (Allouche Benias Gallery, Artist Plate Project, Marianne Boesky Gallery, Lomex, Klaus von Nichtssagend Gallery, Wave Pool) that were added to the exhibitor list since publication, and one that will no longer participate (Mitchell-Innes & Nash).
