THIS WEEKEND: @namelessartshow opens in Chelsea. The sister show of Found Object, Nameless Art + Design features folk and outsider art as well as vernacular design, photography, and more. Reserve your tickets at namelessartshow.com and follow @namelessartshow to learn more. NAMELESS Art + Design Show American folk art and design by unknown makers, circa 1600-1970 January 30–February 1, 2026 | NYC @namelessartshow features work by anonymous outsider and folk artists, and functional objects including furniture, lighting, and textiles by undiscovered vernacular designers. Celebrating anonymous brilliance, Nameless returns for New York Antiques Week as the only American art fair dedicated to visionary work by unknown, forgotten, and marginalized creators across time. The collective project of 25 art dealers from around the country, Nameless offers diverse material—including works of art, furnishings, textiles, and photography—while balancing the appreciation of traditional craft with the drive to surface new discoveries. Recognizing unrecognized genius, telling untold stories, and valuing undervalued work, Nameless presents a vision of American art that is inclusive, expansive, accessible, and alive.

Found Object is waving goodbye for now 👋 Thank you to all who joined us for our 2025 show. See you next time, NYC! Curated by 25 exhibitors, Found Object Show 2025 fills a Chelsea gallery with things out of control. Age vandalized their appearance. Circumstance hijacked their function. Obscurity overwrote their significance. Tearing through time, ravaged by the random, these found objects broke from the design of their creators to emerge today as things liberated from prescribed form and meaning: illegible, unknowable, out of reach even when in hand. Visitors to the show will encounter pieces ranging from rare antiques to commonplace items, some unrecognizable in appearance and others displaced in time and space. Whether or not one sees art depends upon a viewer’s own perspective: “art without intent” is subjective, but awakens an artistic muscle latent in every human imagination, as old human consciousness itself.
