1-54 Contemporary African Art Fair is announced its return to New York from Thursday, May 18 – Sunday, May 21, 2023 (Thursday, VIP & Press preview). The 2023 iteration will be held in a grand modern venue located in Manhattanville Factory District in West Harlem (439 W. 127th St).

This year’s New York edition features a total of 26 galleries hailing from across Africa, Europe and the U.S.—from Nevlunghavn to Cape Town and Los Angeles to Lagos, presenting the work of over 80 artists from African and its diaspora.

Now in its fourth consecutive year, 1-54’s continued partnership with Christie’s reflects the fair’s dynamic relationship with the global auction house. The collaboration also demonstrates Christie’s commitment to showcasing contemporary African art to its global client base and enhancing exposure for the fair internationally.
