This CBS news clip I found on the site of Sanford L. Smith’s website got me thinking about the future, the year 2013 to be exact. I was wondering what shape the New York Armory Art Fair will be like when it turns 100. The clip is a 1988 report on the 75th Anniversary of the Armory Art Fair. In the clip is another older clip of the 50th Anniversary with a few words from Marcel Duchamp (seen below as the fuzzy gray figure in front of the Nude Decending a Staircase No.2).

By the way, there is also an interview with the 75th anniversary event organizer Sanford L. Smith, who is also the organizer of the Art20, Modernism, The Outsider Art Fair (mentioned below), Works on Paper, and The New York Antiquarian Book Fair.
