Buffalo AKG Charts a New Course With Co-Director Model—and More Industry Intel
Artnet News’s “Industry Intel,” published July 25, 2026, reports that the Armory Show will return to New York’s Javits Center on September 24–27 with about 230 exhibitors, including newcomers Alison Jacques (London) and Mennour (Paris). Frieze Sculpture will run as a free public display in London’s Regent’s Park from September 16 to November 1, featuring 11 artists including Ivana Bašić, Angel Otero, and Conrad Shawcross, while curator Cloe Piccoli has been named the first artistic director of Milan’s Miart. The roundup also notes a lawsuit against New York gallery The Hole by artists Daniel Um and Nastaran Shahbazi alleging $50,000 in unpaid sales proceeds, and that David Zwirner has closed his Upper East Side gallery while continuing operations in West Chelsea and Tribeca. Additional market moves include Berlin’s Heidi gallery relocating to London’s Mayfair, artist David Reed leaving Gagosian for Rodder, and multiple artist signings across Herald Street, White Cube, Asya Geisberg Gallery, and Nazarian/Curcio.
