May 22, 2025
Untitled Art has revealed the 84 exhibitors who will participate in its inaugural event in Houston, the fair’s first expansion in years and the latest addition to the Lone Star State’s growing art market constellation.
While fair director Michael Slenske told The Art Newspaper last year the Houston expo would likely be capped at around 50 exhibitors, the final number was 64% higher thanks to “an overwhelming response”, he said in a statement.
“The invitational Houston edition will still be a curated, boutique fair, and that vibe has always defined Untitled Art,” Slenske said. “What we're seeing from galleries across the world is a real desire to enter into the Texas art scene—especially into Houston—and it’s been exciting to see how many wanted to participate in this inaugural edition.”
Houston, the fourth-largest city in the US by population, has strong art institutions like the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, the Menil Collection and the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston. The city is also home to a thriving collector base encouraged by Houston’s robust economy, largely driven by the energy sector (namely oil and gas), medical fields and aerospace industries. Those factors paired with one of the country’s most diverse diverse populations and the most lax zoning laws of any major US city create a unique backdrop for local artists.
Untitled Art, Houston will begin 18 September with an invitation-only preview, continuing through 21 September at the George R. Brown Convention Center in downtown Houston.
