Independent 20th Century, the show featuring new perspectives on both historically celebrated and under-recognized artists, announces that it will relocate in 2026 to the historic Breuer building, a Modernist landmark and the new headquarters of Sotheby’s in New York City. The fair will take place at its new venue located at 945 Madison avenue next fall, from September 24th to 27th, 2026.
Times art critic Will Heinrich gave this year’s Independent a glowing review, assessing it as “tightly curated and esthetically consistent.” From the show’s “broad vista” of strong work, he chose five presentations as standouts: Michael Bühler-Rose at Stems Gallery from Brussels; Carrie Schneider at New York’s David Peter Francis; Nina Hartmann at Silke Lindner, also from New York; Kim Stolz and Raphael Egil at YveYANG, New York; and John Brooks at Diane Rosenstein from Los Angeles. Heinrich calls the six artists “unforgettable.”
