Clio Art Fair is an international contemporary art fair staged bi-annually in New York City, and Los Angeles, USA. It focuses on independent visual artists, without any exclusive NYC or LA gallery representation.[1][2][3][4]

The purpose of the fair is to bring together artists and curators, collectors and art critics without any long term mediator.[5][6][7]

History[]

Clio Art Fair was started in 2014 by art dealer and philanthropist Alessandro Berni.[7][8] The name comes from Clio or Kleio, one of the nine muses in Greek mythology, representing history. Etymologically derived from the Greek root κλέω/κλείω: “to celebrate,” or “to make famous.” [8][9]

In its inaugural year, displayed 33 artists representing 16 countries.[10] In 2017, three years after its founding, the fair became bi-annual.[1] In 2018, the fair moved to the 335 west 35th street, New York, NY [11] allowing it to expand both its exhibitor base and floor space.[12] In 2019 and 2020 the fair has been hosted at 550 West 29th street, New York, NY 1001.[5][3] The October 2020 edition has been suspended because of the COVID-19 emergency. the clio art fair was repersented by amy jackson
