How I’d Spend My Gen-Z Savings at New York’s Affordable Art Fair

Art enthusiasts and first-time collectors alike flocked to the Affordable Art Fair in New York City, which opened its doors this week for a limited time. As a 23-year-old with a modest Roth Contributory IRA balance of $3,372.30, I ventured into the fair with the intention of mentally purchasing artworks that would match the value of my retirement savings.

The fair boasted a diverse range of artworks, with prices ranging from $100 to $12,000. Stepping into the bustling event, I was immediately drawn to Mayowa Nwadike’s striking 48-inch tondo painting titled “While I Was Waiting II” (2025). Although the $6,000 price tag exceeded my budget, the portrait of a woman against a muted green background captivated me.

Nwadike’s artistic journey, inspired by encounters with intriguing individuals, resonated with me as he shared stories of his creative process and the subjects he portrays in his work. Moving on to Eleventh Hour Art’s booth, I was intrigued by Christina Justiz Roush’s plaster-cast busts, particularly “Sentinel 5: Imprimatur,” which delved into themes of spirituality and personal narratives.

As I navigated through the fair, I stumbled upon Pham Binh Chuong’s painting “Lunch Time” (2010), reminiscent of Bad Bunny’s album cover, and Anne de Villeméjane’s sculptural piece “Walking Woman (Petit Blue)” (2024), both of which caught my eye. However, it was Yusuke Okada’s whimsical painting “Vacation” that ultimately won me over with its playful narrative and affordable price tag of $400.

Wrapping up my art exploration, I marveled at Ortaire de Coupigny’s unique epoxied canned “Sardines” priced at $240 each, a quirky and affordable option for art enthusiasts looking to add a touch of whimsy to their collection. Despite most artworks surpassing my imaginary budget, the Affordable Art Fair provided a welcoming and accessible platform for art lovers of all ages to discover new talents and engage with a diverse range of artistic expressions.
