⁣ We will be closing all three locations—The Met Fifth Avenue, The Met Breuer, and The Met Cloisters—temporarily starting tomorrow, March 13, to support New York City’s effort to contain the spread of COVID-19. The Museum will undertake a thorough cleaning and plans to announce next steps early next week.⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ “While we don’t have any confirmed cases connected to the Museum, we believe that we must do all that we can to ensure a safe and healthy environment for our community, which at this time calls for us to minimize gatherings while maintaining the cleanest environment possible. We look forward to soon announcing when we’ll be able to welcome our staff and visitors back to the Museum.”⁣⁣ —Dan Weiss, President and CEO⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ For more information on Museum response, policies, and event cancellations, visit the link in our bio.

Dear Printed Matter Community, We are deeply saddened to announce the cancellation of the 2020 LA Art Book Fair scheduled to take place at The Geffen Contemporary at MOCA on April 3-5, 2020. We have been closely monitoring the escalating spread of coronavirus COVID-19 outbreaks in California and globally, and in light of recent news and advisories, it will not be feasible to stage the Fair in a way in which everyone's safety can be assured. Our annual LA Art Book Fair is both a celebration and a critical platform for artists' books and publishing activity from across the globe. We are grateful for the understanding of our participating artists and publishers, and want to acknowledge the time and effort they have dedicated to developing creative publishing projects for the Fair. We encourage everyone to continue to support their work. For the full program, and more information about the Fair, browse the 2020 LA Art Book Fair site. A full list of 2020 LA Art Book Fair exhibitors and links to their websites can be found pmabf.org We extend our gratitude to our host MOCA for their support, and we also thank our Fair Partners and the many dedicated individuals and vendors who have worked tirelessly toward the production of the 2020 LA Art Book Fair. The decision to cancel this year's edition of the Fair is an incredibly difficult one, but the health and wellness of our exhibitors and of the public is our main priority. We look forward to a spectacular return to Los Angeles in 2021.

[Postponed] The inaugural edition of Paris Photo New York will be postponed to a later date to be announced soon. 178 of the world’s leading galleries and publishers, 100 media partners and cultural institutions, and numerous artists were confirmed to participate in the first Paris Photo New York. In light of recent government measures taken to contain the spread of the COVID-19, our principal concern is for our exhibitors and supporters and we are convinced that this postponement is in the best interest of galleries, collectors and art enthusiasts alike. Please refer to our website for answers to your most urgent questions. #parisphotofair #parisphotony #ppny
