How to Prepare for the 2026 Armory Show: A Reading List

The gallery list

If you haven’t already, take a look at the list of exhibitors in the Galleries section. It’s a large selection, more than any one art lover can take in over a single weekend. Planning ahead is essential. Names of note to prioritize this year include:

Victoria Miro: The prestigious British gallery remains a key pillar of the contemporary art world, with presentations regularly praised for maintaining a curatorial rigor that is museum-worthy.

El Apartamento: Founded in Cuba in 2015, the rising contemporary art gallery (with spaces in Miami and Madrid) will help elevate artists of the Caribbean diaspora at the show’s South Entrance. 

TEMPLON: A major name from Europe in contemporary art, the gallery has long remained committed to showcasing innovative work and nurturing artists who favor the large-scale.  

Dimin: A younger outfit that has officially been promoted to the larger Galleries space this year, the change reflects Dimin’s maturity and growing currency in the art world.
