This year’s edition of the New Art Dealers Alliance fair, the city’s pre-eminent show for up-and-coming galleries, boasts 92 booths and several strong exhibitions by hometown favorites, including the photo-painter Dietmar Busse at Fierman (4.04); Hesse Flatow’s (4.01) show of elegant, offbeat sculptures by Amanda Martínez and Alina Tenser and mixed-media paintings by Emma Safir; and an excellent display of fanciful sculptures by John Newman at the downtown gallery Europa (1.04). But the most exciting part of the NADA fair for me was scanning the exhibits for promising visitors and new arrivals, like Matéria, in town from Detroit; Patel Brown, from Toronto and Montreal; and the debut galleries Foundry Seoul, from South Korea, and Strada, which were included by the curator Simon Wu in a special “Curated Spotlight” section.
