Independent 20th Century\u2014the newest venture from the Independent art fair\u2014makes a compelling argument that the typical fair set-up, a multi-story sprawl of the art historical canon, needs rethinking. There are just 32 booths featuring famous and unfamiliar 20th-century artists. It unfolds over a single floor of the Battery Maritime Building, steps from the Staten Island Ferry send-off. It\u2019s intimate and tightly curated, and a blessed departure from\u00a0Spring\/Break<\/a>\u00a0and the\u00a0Armory Show<\/a>, which both opened this week.<\/p>\n
