Informa Acquires New York Art Fair Organizer Independent
Original: New York Art Fair Organizer Independent Acquired by Global Conglomerate Informa
Informa, the global events conglomerate, has acquired Independent, the New York-based art fair organizer known for its curated, dealer-focused fairs. The deal signals continued consolidation of the art fair market under large corporate owners, and art-world observers are weighing what the move means for Independent's identity as an alternative to bigger commercial fairs like those run by Art Basel and Frieze.
Why now: The art world is closely watching consolidation of art fairs by major events corporations and what it means for independent fair identities.
