While the art world has started to welcome price transparency in virtual art fairs, dealers also point to the fact that their carbon footprints have ground to zero as a result of not having to ship and transport artwork to faraway destinations. 

This year Frieze New York saw impressive results as gallerists were able to promote their artists to a wider virtual audience.
