Dealers at Art Basel hoped to boost the art market after a disappointing series of auctions in New York in May, but the fair's bustle didn't always translate into sales. The event featured 284 international galleries specializing in 20th and 21st-century art, with several trophy-level works on consignment from private collections. While some works found buyers, others didn't, and some exhibitors reported only breaking even. The market is being held in a climate of geopolitical uncertainty, with high interest rates and inflation hampering consumer spending in many countries.
TEFAF New York, one of two annual fairs staged by the European Fine Art Foundation, fills the historic Park Avenue Armory in Manhattan with nearly 100 exhibitors showcasing modern and contemporary art and design objects, even spilling into the hallways and up to the second floor.

Megagalleries like Pace and David Zwirner lead off the fair with strong solo presentations, while galleries like Karma and Demisch Danant make everything-but-the-kitchen-sink art fair booths into coherent exhibitions.
