NEW YORK—This year’s Armory Show coincided with a forecast of snowfall in the city. While it snowed lightly outside, the irony of the realistic snowman at the Kavi Gupta booth wasn’t lost on passersby. The sculpture by Chicago artist Tony Tasset is one of the more compelling works on view at the show. A survey of additional works follows.
The Armory Show is celebrating 100 years and is on view from March 7 to March 10, 2013 at Piers 92 (the Modern Show) and 94 (the main Contemporary Show).
