The largest art fair in the country is back in New York City. The Armory Show has taken over Piers 92 and 94, bringing together the world’s best and brightest while introducing new talent along with many international greats. Not only is this an opportunity for art collectors to view potential purchases, but it also gives the public the chance to see some rarely seen—and often pretty outrageous—works of art for the first (and possibly) only time. And while not all of us can make it out this weekend, The Daily Beast has captured some of the most eye-catching pieces at this year’s fair.
