This month marked Suspicion’s first-ever art fair appearance, and there couldn’t have been a better stage than ArtExpo New York. From April 3rd to 6th, we brought our mission – art that inspires suspicion – to an entirely new audience, introducing the gallery and artists to collectors, curators, and curious art lovers from around the world.
Suspicion presented two artists whose practices embody the gallery’s mission:
- RichHARD hoffMAN’s Subversive Post Office stopped people in their tracks. His work – modified genuine postage stamps that use cultural iconography to deliver sly, often cheeky critiques in his signature British humor – drew constant crowds. Visitors leaned in with magnifying glasses to inspect each tiny intervention, delighted by the dry wit and precision behind every piece.
- Adam Rose’s photographs had an opposite reaction – viewers stood back in awe, trying to decipher what they were looking at. Visitors experimented with moving pieces around, discovering how the color relationships seemed to shift depending on the arrangement.
Throughout the fair, the Suspicion booth was packed. People took photos, asked questions, and spent real time engaging with the work and artists. That level of attention – and intention – is exactly what Suspicion is all about!
We’re also thrilled to share that the fair led to sales and commissions for both artists, a testament to the strong connection viewers felt with their work.
Huge thanks to ArtExpo New York for having Suspicion, and to everyone who stopped by – collectors, artists, fellow galleries, and passionate art lovers alike.
Stay suspicious.
