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.”
