One Art Space sells out Shepard Fairey works at Hamptons Fine Art Fair

One Art Space’s Tribeca booth drew strong demand at the 2026 Hamptons Fine Art Fair in Southampton, where nearly all displayed works sold and the Shepard Fairey pieces sold out. The curated presentation paired Fairey with Al Diaz and Chuck Connelly to showcase street art’s path from public disruption to the collector market.

Why it matters: - The booth sales show continued collector demand for street art and related contemporary work in a major summer art market. - The result also strengthens One Art Space’s position as a Tribeca gallery that can place both established names and cross-generational work in front of serious buyers.

What happened: - One Art Space was a featured exhibit at the 2026 Hamptons Fine Art Fair at the Southampton Fairgrounds. - The gallery presented a curated group led by Shepard Fairey and included works by Al Diaz and Chuck Connelly. - The fair ran for four days and brought together galleries, collectors and artists in Southampton. - Nearly all of the works at the One Art Space booth sold. - All Shepard Fairey works on view sold out.

The details: - MaryAnn Giella McCulloh curated the presentation for One Art Space. - The concept framed Fairey as the future-facing artist, Diaz as the living present and Connelly as a bridge to the expressive past. - Fairey is known for the OBEY campaign and the Barack Obama “Hope” image. - Diaz is known for the SAMO© project with Jean-Michel Basquiat and for text-driven work built from New York City “Wet Paint” signs. - Connelly’s work brought a Neo-Expressionist counterpoint through gestural, psychologically charged painting. - Fairey said One Art Space continues to support his work by showing pieces at the fair. - Fairey said he aims to draw viewers in with an image and leave them with a deeper message. - McCulloh said the gallery wanted three artists who each changed the conversation in a different way. - McCulloh said the presentation was meant to show where street art came from, where it stands now and where it is going. - Notable opening night attendees included MaryAnn Giella McCulloh, Mei Fung, Carmen D’Alessio, Donna Rubin, Jean Shafiroff, Rebecca Seawright, Ashley Medici, Rick Friedman and Cindy Lou Wakefield. - One Art Space opened in May 2011 in Tribeca and is led by co-owners MaryAnn Giella McCulloh and Mei Fung. - The gallery is located at 23 Warren Street in New York City. - The gallery describes its mission as bringing together major figures in art history and visionaries of art’s future. - More information is available at the gallery’s website.

Between the lines: - The exhibition linked street art, graffiti lineage and neo-expressionist painting into a single market-facing narrative. - That mix suggests collectors are buying not just recognizable names, but also the cultural story behind them. - The sellout adds commercial proof to a curatorial argument that art rooted in rebellion can move into permanent private and institutional collections.

What's next: - One Art Space is likely to keep using cross-generational pairings to position its artists in high-visibility fair settings. - The strong sales may help the gallery build momentum for future exhibitions and artist presentations. - The fair’s role as a summer destination suggests more opportunity for similar booth strategies next season.
