Betye Saar, Jerry Saltz, Max Greenfield, and hundreds of artists, collectors, and gallerists descended on the Roosevelt Hotel for the FELIX ART FAIR 2021. With the hotel’s poolside mid-century-modern cabanas making up in charm what they lack in space, the sociability factor was high as soon as the doors opened.

Quote of the day (potential buyer to gallerist): “But is he well known?”

Some of the highlights on the walls include works by—from top—April Bey, Betye Saar, Fiona Connor, Willie Stewart, John Ahearn, Calvin Marcus, and Lauren Satlowski.
