Salon Zürcher
Zürcher Gallery, March 3–8
If you find yourself looking for an antidote to the frenzied energy of the bigger fairs, consider stopping by the 22nd edition of Salon Zürcher—billed as a “mini art fair” and an “intimate alternative” to larger events. In service of the theme “The 11 Women of Spirit,” Salon Zürcher will show works by Nicole Peyrafitte, Sumayyah Samaha, Debra Drexler, Aphrodite Désirée Navab, and others. The exhibition is free and open to the public.
