Although several of last year’s participants will be absent — among them, New York’s Mary Ryan Gallery and Boston’s Chase Gallery, which both blame the dismal economy — dealers from around the world, including Europe, Asia, and Latin America, are expected.

One of the veterans, Santa Fe’s Landfall Press, is honoring this year’s theme, "How Things Are Made," by demonstrating the process of producing lithographs at its booth, where it will also show works by the photorealist painter Richard McLean and Judy Chicago. Among the pieces by Chicago — famous for her feminist icon The Dinner Party, 1974-79, now in the Brooklyn Museum — is the 2008 lithograph Into the Darkness, priced at $2,500.

First-time participant David Lusk, of Memphis, is bringing paintings by Leslie Holt, known for her 2008 "Hello Masterpiece" series of oils, in which she introduces the Hello Kitty character into postcard-size reproductions of famous works. Holt’s miniature canvases are priced in the recession-friendly range of $400 to $500.
