We had a chance to take a first look at this year’s enormous Armory Show, which officially opened in NYC yesterday. After spending most of the afternoon, we still felt like we had rushed through the contemporary half of the fair shown on Pier 94, and we didn’t even get to Pier 92, the other half which focuses on modern art.

We will definitely be going back over the next few days to make sure to give you full coverage. But until then, take a look at images of a few things from our first visit that struck our eye, after the jump.
