Opening for its 18th year, with a mission to promote historic American art, The American Art Fair returns to New York City to showcase hundreds of artworks by 17 noteworthy specialists. The event boasts high quality 19th- and 20th-century American art by artists that were part of renowned movements like the Hudson River School, the Eight, tonalism, impressionism, the Ashcan School, modernism and surrealism.

Thomas Colville, the fair's founder, notes, "the combined expertise of our exhibitors—who include America's longest-established galleries—is unmatched. Their knowledge and experience draw curators and collectors to Manhattan in May to celebrate American art."

Colville adds that new to the fair, are 18th century New World paintings (as some of the Western Hemisphere was then called) exhibited by Robert Simon Fine Art, among them an 18th century Peruvian Virgin of Loreto. One of the newest works will be shown by America's oldest gallery: Wolf Kahn's (1927-2020) 2004 Blue Runs Through It will be showcased at Vose Galleries, established in 1841.
