据《纽约时报》报道，原本定于在春天举行的国际亚洲艺术博览会近日取消，原因是受到日前金融危机的影响。活动的组织者Haughton国际博览会在网站上声明，日前，下滑的经济使得很多同意参加的画廊家和经纪人们资源紧缩。博览会原定 3月11日到15日在公园大道举行。
附Haughton国际博览会声明：
Due to the present global economic situation we have regrettably taken the decision to cancel The International Asian Art Fair for 2009. The fair was scheduled for the 11-15 March at The Park Avenue Armory, Park Avenue at 67th Street, New York City. Many of the dealers who had contracted to take part are not in a position to go forward in the current climate and as such we have decided a fair would put an untenable strain on their resources. We hope to be able to re-launch the fair in 2010 and look forward to working with our exhibitors again.
