VIP2.0, the second edition of the buzzy but buggy online-only art fair, has announced its 2012 exhibitor list. The fair, which managed to draw blue-chip names such as Gagosian, Pace, and L&M for its debut edition but suffered from technical difficulties, says it has given itself a reboot, bringing on tech-savvy CEO Lisa Kennedy, moving all tech development in-house, and promising a new chat function that will increase usability. Click through to read the full list of exhibitors (subject to change), including those at the inaugural editions and multiples hall.
All told, 115 galleries have signed on for this year's edition, running Feb. 3 through Feb. 8, which is down slightly from the 139 that comprised last year's fair. Several galleries who participated last year, including L&M and Gladstone, have opted out, while other international names, like The Guild from Mumbai and Ignacio Liprandi Arte Contemporaneo from Buenos Aires, have joined in.
