NADA New York 2026 Best Booths

NADA New York 2026 Best Booths

Published by José Betancourt

The New Art Dealers Alliance opened the 12th edition of NADA New York on Wednesday, coinciding again with the start of Frieze just five blocks north. Those who made the trip to Chelsea’s Starrett-Lehigh building on West 26th Street and 11th Avenue were greeted by not just NADA, but also 1-54, which hosts its New York fair on the first floor. Two floors up, NADA occupied most of the third floor, flooded on either end with bright natural light from banks of floor-to-ceiling windows. This year’s fair counted 110 exhibitors, just one shy of 2025’s 111, with a wide spread of galleries hailing from New York to Shanghai. Fifty-one galleries were first-time exhibitors, and some of the strongest presentations on offer came from these first-timers, signaling that NADA’s curatorial standards remain high. This year saw plenty of ceramics and fiber, a welcome shift from recent years’ emphasis on figurative painting. Perhaps the emphasis on these new (old) mediums should be expected, given how, as ARTnews‘s Brian Boucher reported just last week, ceramics have taken over …

Linea Personal is all in with LP ‘Todo ø Nada

Linea Personal is all in with LP ‘Todo ø Nada

Published by Sam Flores

Is there room in corridos tumbados for a little bit of R&B soul? Linea Personal is betting on it. For three years, the música Mexicana band Linea from Stockton has been perfecting its sophomore album, “Todo ø Nada,” a 13-track project that incorporates elements of melodic trap, R&B, blues and corridos tumbados. “It’s slow music, the lyrics transmit good feeling and it’s moody,” said frontman Gustavo Raya Garcia following the album’s release on March 26. “Our R&B style is a lot different from these [corrido] artists.” At its core “Todo ø Nada” is a sad sierreño escapade that heavily has boisterous elements of corrido tumbados — often through wailing high-pitch strumming from a requinto and thunderous tololoche plucks, most notable in tracks like “Motorola” and “Tarot.” But most distinct from the LP is the blues-infused “Caperuzita,” which kicks off the album with an ethereal, pitch-shifting cry that wades through the backdrop as an omniscient spirit — an interpolation inspired by Future’s “Wait for U” (featuring Drake and Tems) — while sounds of a banjo speckle …

NADA Is Building New Generation of Collectors Through Series of Salons

NADA Is Building New Generation of Collectors Through Series of Salons

Editor’s Note: This story originally appeared in On Balance, the ARTnews newsletter about the art market and beyond. Sign up here to receive it every Wednesday. There are obvious hurdles to becoming an art collector, chief among them money and space. But then there are the less obvious ones, and chief among these is the intimidation factor: Contemporary art, and the galleries that show it, can seem scary or snooty or both, and a lot of people just don’t feel comfortable in art spaces. The New Art Dealers Alliance has recently started to tackle this problem head-on by hosting a series of collectors’ salons, NADA Collects. Related Articles If your first thought is that this might threaten to dumb down the enterprise, it’s helpful to recall—as the writer Domenick Ammirati reminded on his Substack a year or two ago—that Colin de Land,the freewheeling proprietor of American Fine Arts gallery and the avant-gardest of the avant-garde art dealers of the 1980s and ’90s, hosted occasional classes for would-be collectors. For Heather Hubbs, longtime director of NADA, the idea emerged organically from NADA’s overall mission of “empowering galleries.” NADA has …
