7 Reasons

You’ll Regret Missing

FOCUS NEW YORK 2025

1. 50 Countries, One Visit

Step into a single hall and feel the pulse of fifty distinct art scenes. From Seoul’s digital avant-garde to Lagos’ new wave of Afrofuturism, the fair hand-picks boundary-pushers who rarely leave their home markets. You won’t just “see” global art; you’ll feel the cultural momentum that critics normally chase across continents.

3. Peek Inside the Artist’s Studio

We rebuild each creator’s actual workspace, right down to the half-used pigments and annotated sketchbooks. Trace every decision: what got erased, what got highlighted, what nearly ended up in the trash. You’ll come away understanding not just what they made but why they made it.
