NEW YORK, February 7, 2013 – The Armory Show, New York’s premier art fair for modern and contemporary art, is proud to announce the members of its inaugural Centennial Committee and a distinctive network of Cultural Partners to mark the 100th anniversary of the fair’s namesake, the legendary Armory Show of 1913.
The Committee has been established to recognize the support and long standing commitment of a group of leading American and international collectors, including: Lawrence B. Benenson, Peter M. Brant, Laura Lee Brown and Steve Wilson, Beth Rudin DeWoody, Florence and Daniel Guerlain, Agnes Gund, Susan andMichael Hort, Barbara and Aaron Levine, Eugenio López, Donald B. Marron, Wendy Murdoch, Tony Podesta, Jennifer Stockman, Benedikt Taschen, John Waters, and Anita and Poju Zabludowicz.
"For me, the most exciting art expresses new ideas and breaks advanced ground. For this reason I love The Armory Show and I’m honored to join the Centennial Committee to celebrate the history of the avant-garde. In the company of the other members, I will see the latest art from all over the world, feeding both my eyes and my brain,” says collector and philanthropist Jarl Mohn.
Manuela Paz, Director of VIP Relations at The Armory Show notes, “It is an absolute privilege to herald the centennial of the original Armory Show of 1913 with such a strong, international roster of dedicated collectors. Through the enthusiasm of patrons, the spirit of the avant-garde has been able to flourish here in the United States in ways that our predecessors could have hardly imagined.”
The participation of key New York and international institutions has transformed The Armory Show into an art world destination. Several of the fair’s Cultural Partners, including the Museum of Modern Art, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the High Museum in Atlanta, the Montclair Art Museum and the New-York Historical Society, will be hosting centennial-themed exhibitions that examine the legacy of the 1913 Armory Show. New affiliations for the 2013 edition have been formed with Art21, CCS Bard, The Courtauld Institute,The French Institute Alliance Française, Performa, The Philadelphia Museum of Art, and The Andy Warhol Museum.
