"William Villalongo sold out of his cut-paper artwork the first day of the Untitled Art Fair. His acrylic paper collage and cut velour work depicts the black man’s place in society, often pushed onto fringes or hidden away. Villalongo’s work can be found in the permanent collection of the Whitney Museum, and the artist did a residency at the Studio Museum in Harlem. He also curated the Black Pulp Show, about the ownership of the black image.  "
