Zero Art Fair

We're excited to share @felixsalmon 's Bloomberg feature on Zero Art Fair that focuses on artists and collectors including @blahbert and @yayoi_shionoiri . We'd like thank Felix for taking the time to follow up with our participants and get at what makes Zero Art Fair special! Gift link to the full article in our bio.

We’re excited to share some of the artworks that collectors took home during Zero Art Fair at The FLAG Art Foundation in July. It’s a great pleasure for us to see these fantastic works out of storage and in people’s homes. 1: Rebecca Leveille-Guay "Walter Robinson" (artwork at upper left) 2: Amy Cheng "The Usual Commotion" 3: Luke Gray "Strokeworld 0922" (artwork at right) Based on our post-fair collector survey, 40% of respondents had never purchased a work of art before. We hope to continue to make artworks available to more people who could not otherwise afford to live with art in their homes through our progressive access model. Ownership of these artworks will now gradually transfer over five years to the new collectors, who are entrusted with taking good care of the works. During this vesting period, the works remain available for sale or to borrow for exhibition by the artist. The new collector retains a right of first refusal and earns a discount for each year they care for the work in their home. If you collected an artwork during the fair, please send us a photo of the work installed in your home! To learn more about how Zero Art Fair works, please visit our website, and If you know people who love art, but can’t usually afford it, please let them know about Zero Art Fair.

We'd like to thank our sponsors who helped make Zero Art Fair a success for the participating artists and collectors this summer. Zero Art Fair 2025 was made possible the the financial and logistical support provided by our co-sponsors, host @flagartfoundation and @gagosian . Additional support was provided by @averysyrig_fineart , @supremedigitalny , and the @artsunionorg . We look forward to celebrating together with the artists and collectors later this week.

A huge THANK YOU to the participating artists, visitors, new collectors, @flagartfoundation and everyone who made Zero Art Fair 2025 happen. We'll post a full report with numbers soon! Beautiful photography by @stevenprobertstudio
