I'm surprised that I haven't really seen mentions on art blogs of the new art fair, ART(212), which opens this week. I like the fact that the opening night preview is a benefit for Aid For AIDS and The New York Foundation For The Arts, rather than for something like a big museum's acquisition fund.

The private preview is Wednesday, September 27, 6-9PM. Tickets are $75 each, or $130 for two. After that it's $15/day, or free on Friday from 6-9PM.

Some bloggy friends such as Daniel Cooney Fine Art, Moti Hasson Gallery, Hudson Franklin, Magnan Projects, Mixed Greens, Morgan Lehman, and Priska C. Juschka Fine Art are participating. I know that Robert Koch (San Francisco) will have some Brian Ulrich photos available, for his fans here.

There are also special projects, including an exhibition curated by the Asia Society and El Museo Del Barrio.
