The Only Fair Exclusively for Emerging
Art
VERGE emerging art fair is
proud to announce its inaugural New York event at the 4-star
Dylan Hotel, March 4-7, 2010, coinciding with the New York
Armory Show. VERGE is THE source for emerging art in New York,
the only art fair exclusively devoted to emerging art
throughout the New York art fair scene. Located only 7 short
blocks from Volta, The Armory Show's sister fair, and one
block from NYC landmarks including Grand Central Terminal,
VERGE is well positioned to provide a high visibility platform
for the best in new and emerging art.
ABOUT VERGE
Verge is an
international platform for the most exciting and interesting
in new and emerging art. Verge exists to establish boundaries
of the extraordinary as a counter to the natural compulsion
towards stagnation in the way art is evaluated and delivered
to the public. Staying true to this necessary state for the
advancement of art requires a sustained focus on the best new
ideas and practices of those marginal or newly emerging to
international art audiences. The satisfaction of this fixed
requirement for a healthy and competitive artistic culture is
at the core of Verge as an international exposition of the
highest quality artistic production and the galleries, museums
and audiences who sustain it.
ABOUT THE DYLAN
HOTEL
Located in the former home of the New York
Chemists Club, built in 1903, the Dylan is a lavish
environment in which to showcase the best in new and emerging
art. Dylan's interiors, by Jeffrey Beers of Jeffrey Beers
International, mark a deliberate departure from both the too
stark and overly hip designs currently prevalent in the
high-end boutique hotel market. Interior design features
include rich jewel-toned fabrics, Carrara marble sinks and
American walnut fixtures and furnishings. The 11 foot ceilings
in each guest room and suite not only complement the design,
but offer a feeling of spaciousness not found in the average
New York City hotel. Beers has created a timeless look for the
property that redefines opulence for a new age while
preserving the landmark-quality architecture of the 1903
Beaux-Arts structure. Room service is provided by the popular
Benjamin Steakhouse at the Dylan Hotel for breakfast and
dinner.
