SOFA New York Fair 2008
29 May – 01 June, 2008
SOFA, which stands for Sculpture Objects and Functional Art, is an annual art show at the Seventh Regiment Armory in Uptown Manhattan. Over 60 exhibitors from across the world show everything from furniture, ceramics and glass works to innovative lighting designs and tribal art. All are for sale.
In the 1970s and 1980s Mark Lyman, founder of SOFA, became increasingly preoccupied by the fact that the boundaries of art are ever more blurred, the differences between art, object and image being the subject of increasing debate. He started up SOFA to provide a bridge between fine art and decorative arts and to bring them together in one show for the public.
As well as the gallery stands, special events are laid on throughout the event, including lectures and presentations by artists, curators and collectors.
