Must-See Booths at NADA New York 2025

From a haunting altar of memory by Maya Perry to the elemental tactility of Jun Tsunoda’s nature-inspired paintings, the pieces on show at the 11th edition of NADA New York probe personal mythologies while touching on diverse, cultural counterpoints. Taking place May 7–11 at Chelsea’s Starrett-Lehigh Building, this year’s edition features 120 exhibitors across 19 countries and 50 cities, including 54 first-time participants like Gallery Common (Tokyo).

The TD Bank Curated Spotlight, helmed by Owen Duffy of Asia Society Texas, focuses on artists from Mexico and Texas who explore this year’s themes of ritual, perception and resistance. Meanwhile, NADA Presents returns with live performances and a whole set of interesting panels for both budding and seasoned art enthusiasts.

There’s a lot going on in the fair, plus the madness of New York art week, but here are a few of our favorite booths at NADA that will help you cut through all of the noise:

NARANJO 141

Making its NADA New York debut, NARANJO 141 presents new works by Pauline Shaw as part of the TD Bank Curated Spotlight. Shaw, a New York-based artist known for her large-scale felted wool compositions, explores the construction of knowledge and the systems that shape perception. Her multidisciplinary practice spans glass, metal and textiles, channeling scientific inquiry and spiritual symbolism into visual landscapes that question how we assign meaning in an increasingly complex world.
