THIS MONTH ninety prestigious galleries will bring works of art, antiquities, jewellery and design objects spanning millennia to Manhattan for TEFAF New York. Since its amalgamation from two annual fairs to one in 2021, TEFAF New York has placed heavier emphasis on modern and contemporary art. Alongside the main exhibition at the Wade Thompson Drill Hall, visitors also have exclusive access to the Armory’s sixteen historic rooms, which are generally closed to public. Smaller in scale than its Maastricht counterpart, the New York fair is no less rigorous in its vetting process, and it retains its academic focus and values to advance art as a bridge for cultural understanding, heritage preservation and global connectivity.

This year the TEFAF Museum Restoration Fund has been co-awarded to the Condé Museum, Chantilly, and the Hispanic Society Museum and Library, New York, for the respective restoration of two mid-ﬁfteenth-century illuminated manuscripts. The Hispanic Society’s preservation project of the Black Book of Hours – one of only seven extant illuminated manuscripts on black-coloured vellum –features as the topic of a panel discussion at TEFAF Talks. Other subjects in the programme include art collecting, philanthropy and the challenges of cultural preservation in the face of environmental threats. TEFAF New York coincides with the Independent Art Fair and Frieze New York, which, along with major auctions of modern and contemporary art at Christie’s, Sotheby’s and Phillips’s New York locations, should make for a lively fortnight in the world’s top performing art market.

Somerset House, London photolondon.org

CELEBRATING ITS 10 th anniversary this year, Photo London returns to Somerset House for a special edition honouring the tradition and development of photography. A strong roster of domestic and international dealers and galleries will present exhibitions, with many familiar participants but also some exhibiting for the first time. The Discovery section will feature twenty emerging galleries and is curated by the critic and author Charlotte Jansen, who notes the shift away from portraiture towards abstraction and painterly techniques. A new section, Positions, curated by the collector and arts patron Maria Sukkar, will showcase works by photographers who are not represented by galleries, including the Paris-based multidisciplinary artist Bibi Manavi, while the weekend Book Market promotes independent publishers. Set apart from the main fair, in the Embankment East and West Galleries, the exhibition London Lives will feature work by thirty London-based artists, including Hannah Starkey and Idris Khan. The daily talks programme curated by Thames & Hudson will cover a broad spectrum of topics, including the history of queer photography.
