ART NEWS – While previous editions of the fair were held in Harlem, this year the fair moved to industry heavyweight neighborhood of Chelsea. More specifically, the Starrett-Lehigh, a massive near-century old Art Deco building that has been extensively renovated in the last decade and has lately become a magnet for fashion brands. The building has also lately served as a venue for major art events, including the 2022 Jean-Michel Basquiat exhibition “King Pleasure” and the 2021 edition of Future Fair, which this year is at the Chelsea Industrial building on West 28th Street. The 2024 edition of 1-54 New York features 32 exhibitors, all primarily showing art from African artists or artists from the African diaspora.
