Michael Rosenfeld Gallery led the opening-day sales reports at The Armory Show 2026, selling a painting by Joan Mitchell for over $2 million to a private collection during the VIP preview on Thursday, September 24. The transaction was the most expensive sale reported at the fair that day. The gallery's booth presentation, spanning more than three decades of American art history, also yielded a bronze by Richmond Bar the and a collage by Louise Nevelson — each in the $100,000–$250,000 range — along with two works by Benny Andrews priced at $50,000–$100,000 each. The result suggests continued depth in the secondary market for canonical postwar American art, even amid broader uncertainty about the art market's direction.
