During the cold months in New York, aesthetes know there's no better place to catch great design than the Park Avenue Armory. Between October and January, several fairs bring the best in art, antiques, and design to the historic Upper East Side venue. One perennial favorite is the Salon Art + Design, which focuses on furniture and design from the 19th through 21st centuries. Running November 8 through 12, this year's iteration—the seventh—is set to be the best yet. Fifty-six galleries from 11 countries will show wares ranging from Art Nouveau furniture to contemporary art—all of which is sure to be presented in thoughtfully outfitted booths. "Few fairs today include the range of both fine and decorative arts found at the Salon," says executive director Jill Bokor. "Recognizing the desire of collectors and interior designers to create environments rather than simply amass objects, the Salon exhibitors are chosen for their precise and creative way of presenting material that both predicts and reflects trends in the international culture of living. Ultimately, the Salon is curated on the premise that collectors and designers insist on a vibrant, uncommon array of styles, materials, and periods as long as the quality is impeccable." AD PRO got an exclusive look at the participant list. Below, the 30 international and 26 U.S. galleries showing at this year's Salon (new exhibitors are marked with an asterisk).

MEET THE WOMAN BEHIND NEW YORK’S MOST IMPORTANT ART FAIR By Melissa Studach
Jill Bokor, executive director of Salon Art + Design; courtesy Salon Art + Design
Art and design lovers will have access to more than 50 galleries from across the globe at the seventh-annual Salon Art + Design fair, scheduled for November 8 to 12. But before attendees make their way to Manhattan’s Park Avenue Armory in search of iconic designs from the likes of Ettore Sottsass, Gio Ponti and Formafantasma, those designs have to be found. https://businessofhome.com/articles/meet-the-woman-behind-new-york-s-most-important-art-fair
That’s where Jill Bokor comes in. She has served as the executive director since the fair’s founding, tasked with selecting each edition’s vetted exhibitor roster. “Sometimes I pinch myself when I think that I get paid to constantly be on the lookout for fascinating new (and old) material to include in each edition of the fair,” she tells EAL. Months out from the show and deep in planning mode, Bokor takes a break to share her favorite aspects of the job, what she searches for in an exhibitor, and the trends and designs she predicts will sell out at this year’s show. On Her Favorite Part of the Job Looking for new exhibitors every year (and doing a bit of collecting while on the hunt) is fantastic exposure to design of every stripe. It means looking at the works of established masters, from [Josef] Hoffmann, [Kaj] Franck, [Jean] Dunand, [Jean] Prouvé, [Charlotte] Perriand and [Jean] Royère, to name just a few, which are still highly sought. The great fun is juxtaposing the historical and the contemporary. For the contemporary work, it’s always an adventure to go to artists’ and designers’ studios to see the process. In the end, perhaps the greatest thrill is to be invited to collectors’ homes to see what they’ve chosen, how they put the pieces together, and what inspired them to collect what they do. Passionate collectors give me the best ideas, and I’ve learned so much from them. For example, last year at a private home in Miami, I saw a piece of Claire Falkenstein’s sculpture. She designed the doors at the Guggenheim Museum in Venice—among my favorite architecture in the world. I didn’t know there was a real market for her work. And now I own a piece! On the Characteristics That Make a Great Exhibitor The easiest answer to that is quality. Whether it’s classical ancient art, which is, after all, the first design, or a ceramic that came out of the kiln last week, excellence trumps fashion. All of our gallerists are masters in their fields. Second, we want the mix of galleries to be geographically diverse. The Salon has played host to many newcomers to New York and sometimes American shows altogether. We try to ensure that international galleries comprise at least 50 percent of the mix. The curation of the material is the trickiest part. Head down any aisle and you’ll find that no two booths are the same. There will be a booth of midcentury Italian residing next to French design of the ’70s and ’80s, joined by international contemporary furniture, ceramics and glass. Fine art, mostly from early- to mid-20th century will live harmoniously next to emerging contemporary design. While there is always going to be some duplication in the vintage designers—Gio Ponte reigns, [Gino] Sarfatti shines, Royère rules—we hope to expose our visitors to a full array of material covering every decade and sensibility from 1890 to the present from all over the world, including, this year, our first South African Gallery. Wexler Gallery will return with its contemporary American art and designs for the 2018 edition; courtesy Salon Art + Design. On the Fair’s Ability to Reflect and Predict Trends By virtue of all the major designers and design collectors shopping the fair, we get a sense of what next year’s great homes are going to look like. What we hope to put in front of this discerning clientele is an assemblage that helps them form unexpected ideas. Last year, I thought I was seeing a real trend toward shiny design—by which I mean pieces worked in reflective metals—and that seems to be even more in demand this year. Explosions of color will also be seen and I think there’s a trend there. It’s been a tough, divisive time in our country, and what works better than oddly but brilliantly paired colors to distract? And though it’s not a trend, the taste for great Italian material is as strong as ever. All of our dealers who show Sottsass, Gio Ponti, and new work by Formafantasma virtually sell it out.

Salon Art + Design Brings International Culture to New York By Abby Schultz

The Salon Art + Design fair will return for a seventh year to the Park Avenue Armory this November with an abundance of fine and decorative art and objects that both “predicts and reflects trends in the international culture of living,” according to Jill Bokor, the fair’s executive director. With 56 participating galleries—11 of which are new to the fair and 30 of which are located outside the U.S.—the show should be anything but predictable. Bokor’s aim in curating the five-day event is to showcase art and design that’s fresh to fair-goers, and, in some cases, to the U.S. or New York. One piece she points to is a shockingly deep red armchair from Fredrikson Stallard that looks more like a glorious piece of molten lava rock, called Species III. The armchair, created by the British avant-garde British design artists Patrik Fredrikson and Ian Stallard, is being sold by David Gill Gallery in London and retails for US$39,600. The chair is made from polyurethane, rubber, glass fibre, and polyester. “It’s such a knock-out—you can’t help looking at it,” Bokor says. https://www.barrons.com/articles/salon-art-design-brings-international-culture-to-new-york-1534963349

Maison Rapin, a gallery in Paris, will be bringing a jewelry-like gilt bronze and rock crystal chandelier titled Rosebush by the late designer Robert Goossens, who created jewelry for Chanel, and later, Yves Saint-Laurent. Bokor describes the chandelier, which will have its debut exhibition at The Salon, as having a “jewel-like” quality. “It’s gold (in color) but it isn’t heavy, it’s full of light and air,” she says. “The workmanship is as intricate as if it were a necklace.” To Bokor, Goossens, who died in 2016, must have been on to something that other designers have picked up on—a need for “light and airy-ness and a certain degree of gorgeousness right now.” Generally, “there’s a lot of jewel-like material,” among works she sees coming to the fair. A price isn’t being provided for Rosebush, but last November, Christie’s in Paris sold Goossens’s Lustre Coeur, Vers 1995, also a gilt bronze and rock crystal chandelier, for €150,000 (US$173,037), far above an estimate for between €30,000 and €40,000. The Salon Art + Design will be only seven years old this year, but the fair is rooted in others created by Sanford Smith + Associates, which produces The Salon, notably Modernism: A Century of Style and Design. Modernism, which focused on design from 1860 to 1960, ran for more than 25 years in New York, until 2010. When The Salon started out, there was a lot earlier 20th century material, but as collecting and design tastes have evolved, the biggest change Bokor has observed is “people seem to love the contemporary mixed in with a great vintage piece.” Contemporary works, she says, seem to work better in apartments and spaces without huge public rooms. “We always see a connection with what people buy in real estate and what they buy at The Salon,” she says. Nonetheless, there are a couple antiquities dealers coming to the fair because “I feel all design comes out of antiquities,” Bokor says. Emblematic of shifting tastes, however, Bokor says Phoenix Ancient Art from Geneva, Switzerland, a new exhibitor, will be bringing “abstract” antiquities, and “pairing them with modern and contemporary paintings.” The Salon Art + Design, which last year saw 12,000 visitors, begins with a preview to benefit the Dia Art Foundation on Nov. 8 and runs through Nov. 12 at The Park Avenue Armory, 643 Park Ave. https://www.barrons.com/articles/salon-art-design-brings-international-culture-to-new-york-1534963349

G R A N D S A L O N With decorative hand-painted wallpaper enjoying a renaissance, it’s only fitting that Salon Art + Design (November 8–12) would showcase a breathtaking example that dates back to its very origin. The rare, 20-panel set, “Les Voyages du Capitaine Cook,” created with 1,000 woodblocks, was first exhibited in an 1806 exposition organized by Napoleon. It will be on display at the booth of Carolle Thibaut-Pomerantz alongside a collection of
Oceanic tribal art from dealer Charles-Wesley Hourdé, shaping part of the lively cross-collecting narrative the fair is celebrated for. This year’s edition, at New York’s historic Park Avenue Armory, features some 56 galleries from 11 countries and offers a wonderfully diverse mix of antique, vintage, and modern. “Best of all, there’s always an interesting twist,” says designer Amy Lau, who serves on the honorary committee. thesalonny.com —JACQUELINE TERREBONNE GALERIEMAGA ZINE.COM

Iron Maidens: Three Women Who Are Breaking the Mold in Metal Sculpture These three artists are carving a new niche for women in the manly world of metalwork. By Jorge S. Arango
Erin Sullivan in her foundry.
Metal is heavy. Metal is strong. Metal is unforgiving. And, as an artistic medium, metal has long been the territory of men. Richard Serra’s imposing curved walls, John Chamberlain’s burly crushed car chassis, and Mark di Suvero’s long-limbed abstract figures are monuments to its power. It’s big, it’s brash, it’s unambiguously masculine. But a new generation of women is challenging this once-manly bastion of the art world, hammering at anvils, wielding torches, and stoking furnaces to unbearable temperatures. The physical demands be damned, these artists— all three of whom will be exhibiting at the Salon Art + Design in New York City this fall—are bringing a new sensibility to metalwork, transforming the hard and heavy material into furnishings, objects, and artworks that are fluid, refined—even feminine. The Naturalist Erin Sullivan’s first foray into metalwork was decidedly small-scale. The New York–based artist started out as a jewelry designer, crafting delicate rings and bracelets in silver and gold. But one day, an epiphany struck: Looking at her drawings, she suddenly saw her pieces on a larger scale—as furnishings.
https://robbreport.com/muse/discoveries/three-women-who-are-breaking-the-mold-in-metal-sculpture-2814642/
“It happened in a moment of pure knowing,” Sullivan recalls. “It wasn’t enough for people to look at what I made. I wanted people to touch it, for it to have a function.” Indeed, the urge to touch Sullivan’s works is difficult to deny. Her tables and stools rendered in the unlikely forms of cascading feathers, draping alligator skins, and bubbling volcanic lava challenge our notions of weight and mass, begging us to run a hand across their unexpected contours. Her mushroom shelves and cornutes-horn hooks demand a double take, appearing at first glance not as sculpted objects, but as organic forms dipped in bronze. The common thread, of course, is nature. Sullivan, who draws inspiration from everything from Buddhist traditions and Egyptian mythology to Claude Lalanne’s famed crocodile settee, finds beauty in barnacles, beetles, skulls, and snakes. After creating wax molds from these organic materials, she pours molten bronze heated to 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit inside, and, after it has cooled, extracts the piece. Then, over a period that can last months, she welds, mends, sculpts, and polishes until she achieves the ideal form. The resulting creation—whether a stool that appears wrapped in snakeskin or a table that seems to be composed of interconnected honeycombs—is the completion of a “hero’s journey,” says Sullivan. “The hero’s journey and the artist’s journey have always been deeply intertwined for me,” she says. “Every time I begin a new piece, another hero’s journey begins anew.”

The Heavyweight Irish sculptor Niamh Barry can look downright diminutive when compared with the works she creates. Her suspended lights blending hand-welded bronze, LED lights, and opal glass tesserae are giants, sometimes elliptical orbits resembling hovering celestial bodies, other times jagged masses that look like erratic scribbles. That the sculptor manipulates such behemoths with her own two hands is hard to fathom. “There’s definitely a different energy—more muscular and dynamic—that appeals to me,” Barry says of her craft. “But it is so demanding physically on me that the absolute daily limit I can work with my medium is two to three hours. I have had to learn to be disciplined and know my limits.” Before placing hands to metal, she begins with a set of drawings—a significantly less strenuous art that is eventually translated into a three-dimensional shape. Though she keeps her original sketch in her head, she allows for spontaneity, hammering and welding the components until they at last take a complex form. Of her life-size, immersive sculptureWalking—which is intended to be walked around—Barry says, “It was only while we were working at it in full scale that I was able to make decisions.” https://robbreport.com/muse/discoveries/three-women-who-are-breaking-the-mold-in-metal-sculpture-2814642/
Barry’s evolving relationship with each new sculpture also dictates a certain one-woman ethos. “It is vital to me that I have my hand on every aspect of what is made in my studio,” she says. “Only when I achieve the finished piece will I teach my team how to do the same.”
Niamh Barry in the studio.
The Free Spirit For Junko Mori, sculpting is a spiritual journey. “I have a very Buddhist point of view,” she says. “My mind is unconscious, and my body keeps moving. And an hour later, the piece is in front of me.” The Japanese-born, Wales-based artist’s process is indeed a meditative experience. Her steel and silver objects are the result of repetitive labor, in which she hammers hundreds or thousands of the same components before welding them together with no preconceived notion of the final form. And though some of what she creates takes on familiar shapes—pine cones, coral, hydrangeas—there’s something otherworldly about them, too. “I try to create a natural chaos,” Mori says. “[A piece] can sometimes become robotic—it starts to look stiff and too mathematical. That’s when my human consciousness has to cut into the process. I’m anti-perfection.” Rejection of perfection notwithstanding, Junko’s pieces are remarkably detailed and delicate—something that belies the artist’s intuitive method of sculpting. Her Propagation Project, a series of forged-steel works coated in beeswax, bend and curl so convincingly that they appear suspended in movement, as if blowing in the wind or drifting through water. Other pieces incorporate organic materials like dried plants, creating a juxtaposition of the permanent and impermanent. Junko’s contemplative process also informs her decision not to describe her works—an attempt, perhaps, to draw the viewer deeper into her spiritual journey. “If you can see the piece in front of you,” she says, “we don’t have to talk much.”

Inside New York City's Most Spectacular Private Rooms AD gets a rare peek into inimitable spaces designed by the likes of Donald Judd, Brooke Astor, Annabelle Selldorf, and more By Cator Sparks
A former YMCA was transformed into a soaring loft by Annabelle Selldorf.
New York City can often be a Peeping Tom’s dream come true. There are countless windows just feet away from the sidewalk to peer into while going about one's day. Some voyeurs may want to see something scandalous, but the more design-minded among us simply want a better view of that rock-crystal chandelier, the tassels of a velvet curtain, or the patterns on an antique hand-painted wallpaper. Hence, our excitement over Wendy Moonan’s forthcoming book, New York Splendor: The City’s Most Memorable Rooms (Rizzoli, $85).
https://www.architecturaldigest.com/story/new-york-splendor-book
Bulging with mind-bogglingly beautiful rooms to suit every taste, from modern to mad baroque, this book by Moonan, a veteran architecture, antiques, and design writer for the New York Times, House & Garden, and AD, has spent two years carefully selecting the rooms. There is Gloria Vanderbilt’s patchwork bedroom, Jamie Drake’s Gracie Mansion dining room, and Brooke Astor’s iconic library. “To me, this is a social history of decorating from about 1970 to 2018,” the author told us. “I was at Town & Country for 12 years and did all the scouting for all of the houses. Sometimes it was society ladies in St. Louis, sometimes it was private art collectors in Russia, or wine growers in Chile.” These New York City rooms, however, are very special to Moonan, who simply wanted to show the incredible talents of their decorators and architects. “The emphasis here is purely on the talent and not the owners.” How did she narrow it down? Laughing, Moonan says, “It was very hard! I was cleaning out my desk and I had files and files of clippings of homes that I love. I started out with around 250 rooms and sometimes I couldn't get home owner consent, and some changed their minds. So it really evolved a lot over time, but it is not comprehensive at all; these are all strictly personal choices.” Herewith, six of the book's most compelling rooms. Donald Judd

An early pioneer to settle in SoHo, sculptor Donald Judd often hosted dinners for artist friends like Frank Stella and John Chamberlain on his “eating floor”—where he carefully hung their works of art (he often traded his art for theirs). They were the only decoration he allowed in the loft, though he, of course, designed all the furniture.
https://www.architecturaldigest.com/story/new-york-splendor-book
Brooke Astor
Philanthropist Brooke Astor was a devoted patron of the New York Public Library, but at home on Park Avenue it was husband Vincent’s rare book collection that took center stage. Albert Hadley created red lacquered walls with brass-trimmed floor-to-ceiling bookcases to show off his leather-bound books—and make a chic, cozy space for her to entertain. It was her favorite room. Joanne De Palma

Joanne De Palma spent 15 years working with clients in this 19th-century Upper West Side landmark. Together, they collected fine Aesthetic Movement antiques, both English and American. But what makes the cavernous library sing are the colors: the teal blue Donegal carpet, the William Morris fabric on the walls, and the cornice glazed in layers of pale blue and green. https://www.architecturaldigest.com/story/new-york-splendor-book
Robert Couturier
An acknowledged expert in 18th-century French decorative arts, designer Robert Couturier was thrilled to be able to create a Louis XVI–style house for clients in Borough Park Brooklyn, complete with paneled boiserie and antiques from the best Paris dealers. He once famously said, “I’m completely addicted to luxury.” These clients are apparently not far behind. Annabelle Selldorf
Architect Annabelle Selldorf, a master at reconfiguring old buildings like the Neue Galerie for new uses, only once was asked to turn a YMCA into a duplex loft. She removed interior walls, so the old running track floor became a sleek, open kitchen/dining/lounge area, while the basketball courts were converted into living room, office and three bedrooms.
https://www.architecturaldigest.com/story/new-york-splendor-book
Sandra Nunnerley
Collectors naturally gravitate to designer Sandra Nunnerley because she studied art and architecture in New Zealand and worked in art galleries in Sydney, Paris, London, and New York. For a serious photography connoisseur, she gutted an Upper East Side apartment and opted for an open plan, with beige linen walls to display important contemporary pictures, ceramics, and African masks. Nunnerley designed the black slate fireplace and snakeskin ottoman.

The Salon Art + Design Announces Exhibitors for 2018 By Staff Writer
The Salon Art + Design, which presents historical, modern and contemporary furniture, design and late 19th through 21st-century art, has announced its 2018 exhibitors. The fair will once again return to the Park Avenue Armory to kick off the fair’s seventh edition from November 8 through November 12, 2018 with its “First Look Preview” which will benefit the Dia Art Foundation on Thursday, November 8 from 4-5PM. The list of exhibitors includes more than 56 galleries representing 11 countries, including 30 international galleries who will showcase artworks from classic and abstract antiquities to Art Nouveau, Deco, Mid Century Modern and the 1970’s, 80’s and 90’s culminating in the latest work of emerging masters. The exhibitor list includes more than 12 new galleries making their Salon debut including Carolle ThibautPomerantz (France), Chahan Gallery(France), Donzella (U.S.), Galerie de la Béraudiére (Belgium), Galerie Hervout (France), Glass Past (U.S.), Heller Gallery (U.S.), Mouvements Moderns(France), and The Future Perfect (U.S.). “As The Salon’s success is predicated on the quality of its galleries and the material they exhibit, we are proud to announce this outstanding lineup of exceptional exhibitors,” says Executive Director Jill Bokor. “Few fairs today include the range of both fine and decorative arts found at The Salon. Recognizing the desire of collectors and interior designers to create environments rather than simply amass objects, the Salon exhibitors are chosen for their precise and creative way of presenting material that both predicts and reflects trends in the international culture of living. Ultimately, The Salon is curated on the premise that collectors and designers insist on a vibrant, uncommon array of styles, materials, and periods as long as the quality is impeccable.” See the exhibitor list below. *Indicates first-time exhibitor https://artzealous.com/the-salon-art-design-announces-exhibitors-for-2018/

November: Ripped Paintings, Auctioned Paintings, a Sculpture Disassembling, a Chapel By Andrew Russeth
A sculpture of Katy Petty by Urs Fischer, on view at a storefront in SoHo.
‘We don’t often see a large crowd here except for a few large murder cases,” the presiding judge, John A. Agostini, tells the crowded courtroom, as the hearing begins in Berkshire County Superior Court. Even though it’s not a murder trial, there’s no shortage of tension as Judge Agostini proceeds to question the parties opposed to the sale with extreme skepticism. Those people are asking that the court enjoin Sotheby’s from selling the Rockwell paintings and other works until the cases can be decided. It does not look likely. Nevertheless, the Rockwells’ lawyer, Michael B. Keating, is a magnetic presence, talking about the artist’s deep connection to Western Massachusetts and how the museum’s plan has “ripped this county apart.”
http://www.artnews.com/2018/09/13/critics-diary-november-2017/
Shuffleton’s Barbershop, 1950, by Norman Rockwell, on view at an auction preview at Sotheby’s New York.
Back in the city, the auction houses are readying their big November sales. While I, of course, look askance at such gauche spectacle, I love attending the previews, spending time with works that may never again see the light of day in my lifetime. Sotheby’s has an admirably unpleasant Francis Picabia “Transparency,” a sherbert-colored Milton Averytown scene, and a great early Lee Bontecou, plus some of those Berkshire Museum works. Standing near Rockwell’s Blacksmith’s Boy (1940) I hear one older women explain to another, “I get a kick out of him, I just think he’s terrific. Some people put him down, but I just think he’s great.” I agree. The work is estimated to sell for as much as $10 million. Christie’s, for its part, has a radiant Suzanne Duchampabstraction, a David Hammons Kool-Aid drawing that is typically covered with a towel, a juicy tabletop adorned with cherries by Philip Guston, and a curiously wan portrait of the son of God that has been attributed to Leonardo after copious restoration. On the 15th, it sells for a $450.3 million, the most ever paid for any artwork at auction, much to everyone’s bafflement. Jason Farago sums up the work best, in the Times: “This Jesus, far from saving the world, might struggle to save himself a seat on a crosstown bus.” As the hammer hits, I am at home at the time, having a cheeseburger and a beer, waiting for my colleague Nate Freeman to file from the sale. The Berkshire Museum works end up not being sold. At the 11th hour, a Massachusetts appeals court judge halts their sale, and they are replaced in the showroom by other works. Opponents of the deaccessioning live to fight another day.

A work by Keith Haring, and 1,000 children, on view outside an under-construction skyscraper in Hudson Yards.
The award for most peculiar auction preview goes to Phillips, which hangs from 15 Hudson Yards a 90-by30-foot mural of the Statue of Liberty that Keith Haring made in 1986 with 1,000 children. (The house is planning to sell it privately to benefit the CityKids Foundation.) It takes me more than 30 minutes to find it! I circle what I think is the correct building, looking all over Hudson Yards, but the only artwork I can see is Thomas Heatherwick’s horrible $200 million Vessel, which is currently under construction. It is a tower of stairwells, and it is the worst thing I have ever seen. There are two big-ticket shows this month. One is the Laura Owens retrospective at the Whitney, which disappoints. In small doses, Owens’s work—especially her magisterial later work—sings, but in such a vast display I feel like I am watching the same funny television show over and over again. However, the Toyin Ojih Odutola show at the Whitney is superb. The texture of Ojih Odutola’s huge drawings of fictional Nigerian aristocratic families feel truly sui generis—the start of something new.

Chloe Wise, emerging from what appears to be a Wise painting, held by artists Matthew Thurber and Brian Belott at Abrons Arts Center.
The other big event is Performa, which is in full swing. On the 10th, I go to Abrons Art Center to see a smorgasbord of an absurdist performance called People Pie Pool, helmed by the indefatigable Brian Belott. The show has it all. Curator Jens Hoffmann appears onstage in a burgundy blazer, black bowtie, and a blonde wig from which dust explodes when he shakes it. He introduces himself as Johnny Cash, a guitar is slung around his neck, and then he says, “Maybe I’m not Johnny Cash, but I always wanted to say this on stage.” A physicist, Peter Steinberg, talks about the Large Hadron Collider, a realtor named Patrice Derrington talks deals. Things keep happening. A basketball team dribbles on and off stage, two small marching bands march through, and at one point an auctioneer is selling off paintings—by Katherine Bernhardt, Chloe Wise, and others—though various people (including Wise herself!) keep bursting through them, Saburõ Murakami style. As the stage is bathed in red, Raúl de Nievesappears in one of his full-body, almostarchitectural costumes, screaming demonically. A lot of it is unintelligible, but I can make out this: “Your sins will not be forgotten!” [One video and second]

Two more highlights: On the 5th, I run the New York City marathon, and it is probably the most fun I have ever had in my life. For four hours, I sweat and swear along the streets of the five boroughs, very moved by the huge crowds in every single neighborhood. The 26.2 miles also happen to provide a pretty good tour of New York art history, or at least my experience with it. The race starts near the house of the storied photographer Alice Austen on Staten Island, then passes by studios I have visited in Sunset Park and (the painfully yuppifying) Industrial City in Brooklyn, MoMA PS1 in Queens, more studios in the Bronx (like that of John Ahearn), and finally down Museum Mile in Manhattan. After finishing the run, I head back home from the Columbus Circle subway stop, pausing for a photo in front of Sol LeWitt’s incredible permanent installation there. For days, I can barely walk. By the end of the month I have thankfully recovered, and I pay a visit to The Oscar Wilde Temple, which David McDermott and Peter McGough have built in a chapel of the Church of the Village on West 13th Street. It is a beautiful installation, with paintings of the writer throughout his life and a small statue of the man himself on a pedestal, framed by flowers and candles. It’s rainy the night I’m there, but a few other people are present, quietly paying their respects. On a table is a framed quote from Wilde: “EVERY SAINT HAS A PAST, AND EVERY SINNER HAS A FUTURE.”

Jewel-Tone Pieces to Define Salon Art + Design 2018 By Ryan Waddoups Every year, the Salon Art + Design presents historical, modern, and contemporary furniture, art, and design objects from over 50 international galleries. The 2018 edition, held in New York's famed Park Avenue Armory from November 8-12 and produced by Sanford Smith + Associates, unites a diverse roster of dealers specializing in classic and abstract antiquities to the latest work of emerging masters. This year’s offerings are decidedly jewel-toned, notices Jill Bokor, Salon Art + Design’s executive director. It’s no surprise given that several exhibiting makers such as Erin Sullivan, shown at Todd Merrill Studio, cut their teeth designing jewelry. “From working small, she has moved onto design objects reminiscent of jewel-like sculptures,” Bokor notes. “Similarly, the disks of mirror encrusted in thick gold leaf by Nancy Lorenz, at Liz O’Brien’s booth, would make for lust-worthy earrings at a smaller scale.” She further notes that each of these designers have used color, shapes, materials, and intricacy that is the hallmark of fine jewelry.

How Designers Are Creating a Pastoral Setting in Their Interiors Designers are cultivating a new look for their most spectacular interiors— and greenery is the secret ingredient. By Vicky Lowry
Noortje Knulst
With the design firm Charlap Hyman & Herrero was asked to create a booth for furniture dealer Patrick Parrish at New York’s Salon Art + Design Fair in 2016, the young design duo broke ground, literally, with their inventive use of a houseplant. They wrapped the space entirely in sisal and embedded a huge palm tree below the surface of a raised floor. Amid the dealer’s array of contemporary furnishings, the mood was exotic—and surreal. “We were playing with the idea of confusing someone about what was earth and what was flooring,” says Adam Charlap Hyman. “We think about plants as a real element of the design scheme and use them like furniture to divide space.” When it comes to the humble houseplant, today’s tastemakers are moving beyond the standard orchids and ferns to created elegant indoor jungles. It’s not just about bringing in a little greenery to warm up or enliven a space either. Houseplants have been proven to make us feel calmer and more relaxed and provide fresh air. And, of course, a soaring green tree in the middle of an industrial loft makes a design statement. To that end, Danish designer Oliver Gustav gives his lean interiors a touch of whimsy with delicate ficus trees. Paris duo Patrick Gilles and Dorothée Boissier-Gilles—who designed New York’s Baccarat Hotel—subtly punctuated their chic, bleached-white apartment with shapely succulents. Commune, the Los Angeles design collective, has incorporated bird-of-paradise plants between the banquettes in the dining room of the Durham Hotel in North Carolina and swooping palms in the reception area of Panama’s American Trade Hotel. https://www.departures.com/lifestyle/home-design/plant-design-trend

Andre Herrero, an architect, and Charlap Hyman, an interior designer, are always exploring inventive ways to bring nature inside. In a Brooklyn residence, for instance, they placed a terra-cotta planter in the shape of a chair by artist Chris Wolston in the center of the living room and installed a mature potted palm in the red-and-white master bath. “In a room like that, the plant takes on this very transporting role—a vehicle for imagining you are somewhere else,” says Charlap Hyman. “There’s a fantastical element, like the jungle is growing out of the house.” Perhaps the most imaginative plant-filled project conceived by the talented trio behind Commune—Roman Alonso, Steven Johanknecht, and Pamela Shamshiri—lasted for just 48 hours. For the Oscars’ backstage greenroom three years ago, they didn’t rely solely on deep sofas and an inviting bar where the presenters could mingle and chill. To conjure the indoor-outdoor vibe of an authentic midcentury modern home in the Hollywood Hills, they trucked in houseplants—enough to fill a nursery. Palm leaves fanned out from behind the custom-made banquette. Philodendron, stephanotis, and a mad variety of ferns sprouted from built-in flower boxes. “We wanted the greenroom to feel like a courtyard,” Alonso remembers, “and the plants were key to providing that sense of lush glamour.”

The sculptural and atmospheric possibilities of indoor plants are, of course, as varied as their species. Los Angeles– based designer Madeline Stuart champions specimen plants “with a really interesting trunk that can be placed in a cachepot and become an object,” she explains. “I’m never going to stick a fern on a side table and call it a day.” Stuart, whose first book on design will be published by Rizzoli next fall, prizes a miniature Ming tree, which she brought home years ago after a photo shoot, not only for its tropical allure but also because “it’s almost like having a pet.” Alas, not every plant thrives in family dynamics. Stuart’s mother bought a ficus decades ago for her New York City apartment and had a special teak planter made for it. “She stuck it in the hall, where there was no light, thinking it would flourish,” the designer recalls. “Then she and my father would lie awake at night and listen for the leaves to drop.” Miles Redd, meanwhile, who has made a career out of designing lavishly hued interiors, reveres the singular shade of the natural world. “It’s amazing to me what something green can do,” Redd says. “You can be in the most sterile room, and one leaf can transform the space. It’s the power of nature.”

Los hermanos GARRIDO se instalan en MADRID Tras su abrumador éxito internacional, los hermanos Garrido abren 'showroom' en el centro de Madrid, un espacio mutante en el que sus piezasjoya se codean con arte contemporáneo y hallazgos vintage. By Eduardo Merlo
Aunque muchas de sus piezas, a medio camino entre el arte y la orfebrería, hace tiempo que se han convertido en iconos habituales de las principales citas del diseño de autor (PAD London y PAD Paris, Art Miami, The Salon Art + Design New York...), en su Madrid natal han seguido escondidas en el anonimato de su taller, en un polígono industrial de Arganda del Rey.

“Pensamos que había llegado el momento de tener un escaparate en la capital, un lugar en el que mostrar nuestras últimas creaciones en un contexto similar al que lo hacemos en las ferias internacionales –explica Juan Garrido, diseñador junto a su hermana Paloma del estudio que heredaron de su padre, el maestro orfebre Damián Garrido que, además, les enseñó las técnicas que hoy aplican en sus muebles–. Queríamos crear ambientes reales en los que nuestros cómodas, mesas u objetos se relacionaran con hallazgos de Las Pulgas de París y obra de artistas como Nico Munuera, Richard Serra, Robert Motherwell, Jan Hendrix o José Pedro Croft”.

El espacio es un espejo para ese taller en el que la tecnología 3D posibilita que las avezadas manos de un curtido grupo de artesanos hagan realidad al milímetro las caprichosas formas de los hermanos Garrido, que ya han conquistado a diseñadores e interioristas como Hervé van der Straeten, Alberto Pinto, Arik Levy o Juan Montoya (junto a los que trabajan con asiduidad), a arquitectos como Peter Marino (suyas son las impresionantes cómodas que el americano ha utilizado, por ejemplo, en la boutique de Dior en Washington), o a galerías como Alexandre Biaggi (París), Maison Gerard (Nueva York) o Nilufar(Milán), para los que conciben colecciones de manera exclusiva. Acaban de estrenarse recibiendo en casa a la galería de arte antiguo Phoenix de Ginebra. La combinación promete.

THE SALON ART + DESIGN | COLOR POP AT 2018 FAIR By Kyle Huewe
Sabroso & Siegel, Scaly Romanesco— to be shown with Heller Gallery
The Salon Art + Design, one of the premier showings of contemporary art and design, is bringing a certain pop to its 2018 fair, which will take place from November 8 to November 12 at 56 galleries worldwide, from their headquarter in New York to Paris to Cape Town, among others. In what many present-day artists are referring to as “Maximalism,” The Salon will showcase a series of vibrant, colorful, and eclectic pieces by a range of artists from various time periods. This new phase in our era of artistic creation rejects notions of minimalism long sought after by artists throughout history. Instead, these pieces evoke whimsical emotions through sometimes chaotic optics. Take Surrealist Head by Alexander Calder (1898-1976), circa 1960. This piece rejects all conventions of forgery, instead a suspended sculpture that focuses instead on the absurd. The colors, while simple, evoke a warm-to-cool contrast, and the blue tongue sticking out of the head’s mouth seems to be mocking the very art this piece stands to reject. Surrealist Head will be shown at Galerie de la Béraudière in Brussels.

“The color trend can be seen throughout form and design in many materials and over many periods,” said Jill Bokor, the Executive Director of The Salon. She continues, “Designers love the accent color [of] the neutrally painted rooms which are so often the backdrop for art and design collections.” Such a trend is often found within furniture design as well. Galerie BSL in Paris will be showing a “Crescent Loveseat” by Charles Kalpakian, first manufactured in 2017. The piece features a dramatically subtle curve, upholstered in a sleek blue and featuring popsicle-stick legs.

Friedman Benda in New York will also show the eccentric works of Jonathan Trayte. This showing will include an array of pieces, including Fruiting Habits, a bed featuring an assortment of flamboyant hues, most notably a cream pink accenting otherwise white framework and a variable-colored bedspread complete with a custom wave pattern. Fruiting Habits even includes its own light installation: a single bulb sprouting from the framework and hanging atop the bed.

Trayte’s commitment to “Maximalism” can also be seen through his Weekend Special, a couch with equal parts character and zest. This piece features shades of pink, orange, teal, and includes a variety of textures seemingly clashing and contrasting one another simultaneously. Characteristic to Trayte’s work, this piece also features a hanging lightbulb, emerging from beyond the upholstery.

In terms of pottery, the J. Lohmann Gallery in New York will be showing the exciting Innuendo by Heike Brachlow, circa 2017. This glass creation features what appears to be a pair of loosely opened lips, an accompanying red gradient only adding to the perception. However, Innuendo evokes much more than observations of sexuality, for one can get lost in the neutral contrast of red to white created by the use of blank space.

These are merely a hand-picked selection of some of the great pieces to be shown this year at The Salon Art + Design Fair. The Salon Fair only happens once a year, and the directors are committed to showcasing of relevant trends in the design world. This year is sure to be a similar examination, the likes of Color Pop and Maximalism at the helm of their most notable showings.

Lighting that Seems to Float Like Clouds Designer Ayala Serfaty’s latest museum-worthy lighting pieces are firmly rooted in sculpture. By Angela M.H. Schuster

Among the stunning works collectors of important design will encounter at the Salon Art+Design in New York later this fall is a suite of ethereal lighting fixtures by Ayala Serfaty. They will be presented by gallerist Benoist Drut of the New York design destination Maison Gerard. Drut likens the luminous creations to clouds; others see them as sculptures. We recently caught up with the Tel Aviv-based Serfaty to talk about her elaborate design process. “For me, everything is about sculpture first and foremost, then about craft, and then lastly, it’s about the actual product. And it is a very organic process,” says Serfaty. Her meticulously crafted commissions are not in great supply. Each piece takes up to six months to make from conceptualization to completion. After sketching out a design, she will make a mock-up of it—a massing model of sorts—in paper. Once she settles on the overall shape, she begins to build its delicate armature—an intricate web of glass, which she says plays its own role in determining the fixture’s final form. Next, the lattice-like creation is covered in layers of airbrushed polymer, which shrink to the structure and obscure the web of glass and lighting elements within.

Ayala Serfaty’s luminous Duet II The process results in a fixture that is evocative of a cloud or, more accurately, a crystalline cave formation. Her Soma collection was inspired by a Greek term that describes the human body, and she chose the name to enlighten each work’s poetic qualities. “My aim in my Soma series is to make unique, abstract forms that represent a balance between design and coincidence and which are open to multiple interpretations,” she says. Serfaty’s light works have earned placement in the permanent collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Museum of Fine Arts Boston, the Mint Museum, the Indianapolis Museum of Art, and the Corning Museum of Glass, among others. One or more of them can now be yours starting at $50,000.

The designer’s felt-cloaked “Stella (White and Brown)” furniture Maison Gerard is also offering a selection of Serfaty’s custom furniture—stools, chairs, and settees—which, like her lighting, have rigid unseen internal structures. The forms are covered in handmade felt crafted from fibers gathered from all over the world. “What unites all of my works,” says Serfaty, “is their inherent organic qualities that defuse the line between the natural and the abstract.”

A Southern belle from Georgia, she’s an art adviser and gallerist, representing contemporary talents who make bold, splashy works with an edge. He’s a dapper Brit who is a respected expert on 18th-century antiques; the former head of English and European furniture for Sotheby’s, he’s obsessed with Sèvres porcelain, among other covetable collectibles. Their theme music could well be Gershwin’s Let’s Call the Whole Thing Off (“You like tomato and I like tomahto”). Yet for this über-creative New York–based couple, the whole thing works. Their three-bedroom Manhattan apartment, which they share with their daughters, Poppy and Georgina, and a frisky cockapoo, is the perfect expression of their wildly divergent yet thoroughly impeccable tastes. https://www.1stdibs.com/introspective-magazine/blair-voltz-clark-home/
In the entry, for example, a vivid painting by the young Spanish artist Gemma Gené depicting a laundry detergent container is juxtaposed with a 17th-century Italian marble bust of a Roman emperor, while in the living room a ribbon-like metal sculpture by Jacinto Moros, another Spanish artist, provides a lyrical counterpoint to a carved-giltwood George II mirror above the fireplace. Nearby, classic Louis XVI armchairs, also crafted in giltwood, flank a conceptual object with a very different interpretation of gilding: Sasha Sykes’s acrylic box filled with gold-leafed hydrangea petals. The Irish sculptor will have her first solo exhibition at Voltz Clarke Gallery, Blair’s three-year-old venture, in early November, coinciding with the Salon Art + Design fair.
Artworks by Jacinto Moros (left) and Gemma Gené flank the opening to the library, where a skirted center table hides one of Blair’s daughter’s American Girl dolls. Surrounding the table is a masking-tape floor installation by artist Sun Kwak.
“When we first moved into the apartment, we were newly married, and it was a collaborative experience, with Alistair’s having a say on a piece of furniture and my coming up with a work by a new contemporary artist I had just discovered,” Blair recalls. “But it also felt like we were in battle — it was Alistair’s antiques against my artworks. I think we’ve both softened with age.” To ensure harmonious interiors, the couple abides by a few design rules. “When something new comes in, something has to go,” Alistair explains. (The cupboards, it should be noted, are crammed with his French porcelain, Japanese lacquer and gilt bronzes.) And there can’t be too much furniture. “From a decorative point of view, for contemporary art to be effective, it has to be big,” says Alistair. “If you’re trying to do that, you can’t have too many large pieces of furniture — there just has to be enough to set the mood.” Fifteen years ago, when the couple bought the apartment — in an elegant 1920s building designed by Dwight P. Robinson — they performed a gut renovation that included restoring the original hardwood floors, hidden beneath linoleum, and removing walls to create an open living-dining area. They skipped a more formal dining room — “waste of space,” says Alistair — in favor of a library packed with his decorative-arts reference books. (“Alistair always jokes, ‘If I ever get hit by a bus, don’t give away my books — they’re worth a fortune,’ ” Blair says with a smile.) The library’s furnishings include a center table that hides a daughter’s American Girl dolls behind its skirted tablecloth and is encircled with a whimsical floor installation, constructed of masking tape, by the Korean-born New York–based artist Sun Kwak.

“I like to be loyal to and challenged by difficult art — works that are more conceptual but also visually appealing,” says Blair. “I’m very comfortable with art making you happy.”

YVES BÉHAR CAMBIANDO EL MUNDO Desde su estudio de San Francisco, el diseñador industrial busca hacer un mundo mejor a través de sus creaciones
THINGS SPAIN
Los hermanos Garrido crean piezas únicas a medio camino entre la artesanía, el arte y la decoración.

decoración, aunque para entender realmente de dónde salen estas piezas brillantes y escultóricas, Juan Garrido, uno de sus creadores, prefiere remontarse al pasado. “Mi padre [Damián Garrido] fue un
orfebre conocido en España, y nosotros aprendimos con él las técnicas del trabajo con los objetos y piezas de platería. Lo que hicimos posteriormente fue crear nuestros propios diseños, piezas de gran formato, manteniendo la filosofía y la metodología que nuestro padre nos enseñó”. Cuando habla de nosotros, Juan hace referencia a su hermana Paloma, con quien dirige el taller de orfebrería desde los años 90. En aquella época, las joyerías tradicionales de nuestro país, acostumbradas a la platería más tradicional, no encontraban sitio para su propuesta radical, así que decidieron probar suerte fuera. Y la encontraron. “Empezamos participando en la feria Miami Antique Show, en 2002. Allí nos descubrió el galerista Barry Friedman de Nueva York y nos propuso trabajar con
él”, recuerda Juan. “A partir de ahí vimos que podíamos ampliar mercado en otras plazas europeas como Suiza, Inglaterra o Francia”. De hecho, serán los únicos representantes españoles en la próxima edición de la prestigiosa feria The Salon Art + Design que se celebra en noviembre en Nueva York. Con el mercado internacional conquistado –han colaborado con arquitectos como Peter Marino y decoradores como Hervé van der Straeten, Arik Levy o Juan Montoya– ahora quieren ser profetas en su tierra abriendo un nuevo espacio en el centro de Madrid donde mostrar sus diseños. “Teníamos un showroom en nuestro estudio en Arganda, pero está a las afueras de Madrid y este nuevo espacio es más cómodo”, explica Juan. Allí, en el taller, Juan y Paloma lideran un equipo de seis personas que fabrican cada pieza a mano y de forma totalmente artesanal. Mientras que Paloma se ocupa de la parte más técnica, es su hermano quien se centra en el diseño de las nuevas formas, recurriendo a herramientas tan básicas como funcionales: “El diseño lo tienes en tu

Es inevitable no plantearse ciertas cuestiones la primera vez que uno se enfrenta a alguna de las creaciones de Garrido Gallery. ¿Son esculturas? ¿Muebles? ¿O acaso se trata de algo completamente diferente? La respuesta clásica siempre refiere a las artes decorativas, esa suerte de limbo que bascula entre el diseño y la

cabeza, luego lo tienes que plasmar en una hoja de papel, y una vez que lo tienes ahí el siguiente paso es aplicar técnicas de modelado 3D. Pero la idea inicial tiene que partir de tu cabeza y lápiz y papel”, insiste. De esos dibujos se pasa a las maquetas de cartón a escala 1:1, un paso de vital importancia antes de afrontar la creación de la pieza final, ya que al trabajar con materiales como la plata o el oro el margen de error es casi inexistente. Los resultados son siempre piezas de edición muy limitada cuyas geometrías imposibles –“con referentes como Oteiza o Puigforcat”– no sacrifican los conceptos básicos del diseño como ergonomía o comodidad: “Lo más importante primero es definir un formato completamente innovador. Una vez que ya lo tienes hay que adaptarlo a una funcionali-
dad. Eso es lo difícil. No se trata sólo de saber diseñar, sino que sepas que lo que estás diseñando va a ser viable, y viable significa que pueda ser funcional si el cliente lo desea”. El trabajo de los Garrido es, por tanto, una labor aprendida durante años, basada en el ensayo y el error a la que Juan no augura un buen futuro: “Lamentablemente he comprobado que en el mundo de la platería ha habido muy poca evolución. [...] Creo que va a ser complicado que haya una nueva generación que siga apostando por lo hecho a mano, artesanal y artístico. Porque para que exista se tiene que formar a la gente, y si los oficios desaparecen, eso va a ser difícil. Siendo pesimista, y ojalá me equivoque, no le auguro un buen futuro”. Disfrutemos entonces mientras podamos.

Salon Art + Design reveals 2018 exhibitors and a wealth of chair classics for design lovers By Sarah Tulley

Focusing on furniture and design from the 19th through to the 21st centuries, the Salon Art + Design returns for a seventh year at New York’s famed Park Avenue Armory this November.
https://www.materialsource.co.uk/events/salon-art-design-reveals-2018-exhibitors/
The 2018 edition of the fair, produced by Sanford Smith + Associates, will bring together a diverse and international group of art and design dealers showcasing exceptional global material for every taste. Fifty-six galleries from 11 countries will show wares ranging from classic and abstract antiquities to Art Nouveau, Deco, Mid Century Modern and the 1970s, '80s and '90s, culminating in the latest work of emerging masters. We particularly love the focus on chair design with examples on display from the likes of Patrik Fredrikson and Ian Stallard to Jean Royère. "As The Salon’s success is predicated on the quality of its galleries and the material they exhibit, we are proud to announce this outstanding lineup of exceptional exhibitors," says Executive Director Jill Bokor. "Recognising the desire of collectors and interior designers to create environments rather than simply amass objects, the Salon exhibitors are chosen for their precise and creative way of presenting material that both predicts and reflects trends in the international culture of living." Salon Art + Design runs from Thursday 8 November through to Monday 12 November at Park Avenue Armory, New York.

Niamh Barry Lives at the Intersection of Art and Pyromania The Irish lighting designer hammers and welds her way through a project for Maison Gerard. By Angela M.H. Schuster
Photo: Courtesy of the artist and Maison Gerard
When it comes to contemporary lighting design, one name that seems to be on everyone’s mind these days is Dublinbased visionary Niamh Barry, whose massive welded bronze LED-fueled site-specific commissions have graced such spaces as the headquarters of the Central Bank of Ireland. Robb Report caught up with Barry during her recent visit to New York to talk about the intersection of art and pyromania, the sheer physicality of the creative process, and her latest project for noted design gallery Maison Gerard, which will make its debut at Salon Art+Design later this fall. Barry—a self-confessed pyromaniac who picked up her first welding torch in 1991—produces some 30 unique pieces a year. Each of those is the product of many hours of arduous metal-working, such as welding, annealing, quenching, and hammering. The latter, says Barry, is by far the most aggressive and physically demanding aspect of the creative process. “I can only hammer one or two hours a day.” Many of her works are luminous, edge-lit halolike creations that appear to float in thin air. The LED bulbs within throw off a light that glows at 2,700 Kelvin, the color of natural fire, which has been concealed by hundreds of hand-cut, hand-polished pieces of glass. “My goal is to create pieces that emit a primal light that we are drawn to.”

The current work in progress, she says, marks a bit of a departure from past work. “As this was my first collaboration with Benoist Drut of Maison Gerard, I wanted to create something new, something special, something that really pushed the work in terms of my design concept.” Barry adds: “While the piece for Salon is quite recognizable as one of my own, where it differs from my earlier works is in the detailing and in the finishing. I have actually started working with a heavier bronze and there is now a pronounced curvature of the bronze face, which I have not done before. I have also fused the join points of the rings so you cannot really see where one line ends and the other begins so that the whole piece will read as a continuum, which is something else that I have not done before. The whole thing will have a much more organic feel.” When finished, the piece, which is some 8 feet in length, will have taken more than 600 hours to make. It can be yours for a price somewhat north of $120,000.

NEW YORK: I 10 POSTI PIÙ BELLI PER UNA NIGHTLIFE HOT In autunno nella Grande Mela, dove andare per una vita notturna dalle calde atmosfere, tra burlesque, whisky bar e il nuovo Playboy club By Alessandra Mattanza New York si sta facendo sempre più sexy, con diverse novità che “riscaldano” l’atmosfera della città che non dorme mai in autunno e che continua a vantare una delle vite notturne più attive al mondo, e alcune delle più irresistibili tentazioni.
Per trovare atmosfere burlesque, quelle del film Eye Wide Shut di Stanley Kubrik con Tom Cruise e Nicole Kidman, allo Speakeasy Doll House, all’East Village, va in scena The Girl Who Handcuffed Houdini (fino al 10 novembre 2018) in un ambiente su tre piani da era del Proibizionismo. Harry Houdini morì misteriosamente il 31 ottobre 1926, la notte di Halloween. Forse di appendicite dopo che qualcuno l’aveva colpito allo stomaco o fu avvelenato dagli spiritualisti? L’investigatrice privata noir e sexy Minky Woodcock (interpretata da Pearls Daily, star del burlesqueche di recente ha recitato in Marvelous Mrs. Maisel) va sotto copertura per scoprirlo e coinvolgerà tutto il pubblico nelle vicende di Houdini, perfino vicino alla vasca d’acqua da cui usava liberarsi. Si potrà sorseggiare assenzio, farsi leggere i tarocchi, lasciarsi ammaliare dalle scene di danze sexy, per una notte indimenticabile. Lo spettacolo è tratto dall'omonima popolare serie di fumetti di Cynthia von Buhler, creatrice dell’altrettanto sensuale gala di Capodanno, The Illuminati Ball, al suo terzo appuntamento. Quest’ultimo porta gli ospiti da Manhattan a una località ancora segreta del Connecticut, per un soirée in maschera ispirato a quello leggendario e surrealista del Barone e la Baronessa Rothschild nel 1972. Al ComicCon, la grande fiera del fumetto, dove si ritrovano appassionati di Marvel, ma non solo, Johnnie Walker ha lanciato una serie di nuove bottiglie di whisky, ispirate ai personaggi della serie Tv Trono di Spade come dalle avventure del suo mondo fantastico. White Walker by Johnnie Walker (disponibile in diverse rivendite di alcolici a partire da ottobre 2018, da $ 36) è in edizione limitata e acquistabile solo fino a esaurimento, ma, da novembre 2018, esisterà pure la completa collezione The Game of Thrones Single Malt Scotch Whisky Collection (tra cui Games of Throne House Tully, Games of Throne House of Stark o Games of Throne House Targaryan). Per gustare un fantastico whisky o un cocktail da mixologist, andate in uno dei migliori whisky bar, The Flatiron Lounge, che quest’anno compie cinque anni e ha anche serate jazz e vintage.
https://icon.panorama.it/viaggi/new-york-10-posti-piu-belli-sexy-nightlife-hot/
Dopo 30 anni ha riaperto a New York il Playboy Club (con accesso da membri a partire da $ 5.000), con le mitiche Conigliette come cameriere. Si possono provare cocktail originali al bar, del mixologist Fred Dex, con dj entrare nella Lounge che rievoca la famosa Playboy Mansion. Ci sono serate speciali alla Black Box sempre ispirate a feste iconiche come la Playboy Masquerade Night e Hef’s Haunted House. La gastronomia è epicurea, dello chef veterano di Nobu Richie Notar, come il piatto Wagyu Miyazaki Steak, ottima bistecca con toast, marmellata di pomodoro e burro, o con un menù di sushi dello chef del Playboy Club Tabitha Yeh. Il musical più amato e popolare, e alla moda del momento, viene celebrato dal Baccarat Hotel, noto per il bar e le suite altrettanto sexy, con l’Hamilton Vip Experience. Propone una cena con tutto il cast, oltre che una serata a teatro e al suo backstage. Al suo bar, dove è meglio prenotare, costellato dai famosi omonimi cristalli, ora pure in vendita, e da tantissima arte eclettica, si incontrano pure creativi interessanti, come finanzieri, stilisti, celebrity. Presso la sua piscina si scoprono pure cabanas sensuali piene di glamour. E' prediletto tra gli altri anche dallo stilista Zac Posen. Elegante, romantico e sexy… Così viene definito il ristorante Robert, un esempio di colori e contemporaneità americana, ma con qualcosa di “caldo” e di insolito. Si trova sul tetto di The Museum of Arts and Design, il museo delle arti e del design, a Columbus Circle e offre una vista spettacolare sul parco Central Park e sulla cittá. Il suo motto è evocare la bellezza culinaria ed estetica, con un menù altrettanto creativo dello chef Gonzalo Colin e ottimi cocktail. Per chi ama il design: ogni novembre (dall’8 al 12 nel 2018) ha luogo The Salon Art + Design, che quest’anno torna nella venue storica di Park Avenue Armory. Da Roma verrà anche il gallerista Giustini Stagetti che presenterà opere di illuminazione di Gino Sarfatti. The Mark Hotel è considerato uno dei posti più sensuali e alla moda (prediletto da tutti i fashionisti) della City, per la sua atmosfera, dato che è prediletto da modelle e da uomini d’affari, come per il suo design, di certo unico. Nelle stanze viene proposto anche l’Aphrodisiac menù (che per San Valentino diviene l’Aphrodisiac Package). Comprende cocktail oltre che piatti di gastronomia preparati dallo chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten, che gestisce l’omonimo ristorante. Nel pacchetto è compresa invece perfino la biancheria intima di Agent Provocateur. The Mark Bar è pure prediletto da tanti newyorchesi alla moda. L’arredo interno è curato da Jacques Grange, che tra i suoi clienti ha annoverato Yves Saint Laurent, Pierre Bergé, Isabelle Adjani, Carolina di Monaco, Alain Ducasse e Francois Pinault. Ha curato perfino il pavimento, a strisce bianche e nere, che caratterizza pure molti bagni delle stanze, e si è lasciato ispirare da memorie di una Parigi anni ’20. Tra i mobili si distinguono il divano del bar, creato da Ron Arad, tedesco che ha aperto il suo negozio a New York nel 1949, e che ha lavorato per Gary Cooper, Marilyn Monroe, Andy Warhol, Frank Sinatra, David Bowie, Tom Ford. Le cucine delle suite sono invece di Piero Lissoni, come alcuni elementi di design sono di Karl Lagerfeld, per esempio il “Pink Cactus”. Le bistecche piú gustose della City si gustano nell’atmosfera accattivante di Wall Street e del ristorante e bar CUT di Wolfgang Puck: la carne perfetta che si fa pagare a peso, Pure Wagyu Beef, Miyazaki Prefecture, Rib Eye Steak o New York Sirloin. L’interior design è del francese Jacques Garcia con Kimberly Brown e gli architetti STRATA, mentre l’arte alle pareti è curata da Gelila Assefa Puck. Alcuni dei vini migliori, diversi pure vintage, si possono sorseggiare nell’ambiente intimo del ristorante e bar Perrine, che ammalia con il fascino tra il passato e il contemporaneo e francese e americano, con gastronomia dello Chef Ashfer Biju. Spesso si organizzano eventi particolari, come quello indiano Diwali (il 24 ottobre), per l’India’s Festival of Lights!, quando la Rosé Terrace, che ha preso il nome dall’omonimo vino, viene illuminata da lanterne. Vi si festeggia la cerimonia di Arti, Tikka e Haar, al ritmo di musica da DJ ispirata da quella indiana contemporanea.

Il “negozio” più sexy si trova online (per ora… Perché a breve comunicheranno anche i posti selezionati, solo pochi, dove acquistare i loro prodotti a New York): i nuovissimi giocattoli SUPERPLASTIC, creati dal genio incredibile di Paul Budnitz (fondatore di Kidrobot e della famosa e supertecnologica bicicletta di lusso al titanio) e dall’artista di giocattoli Huck Gee. A ottobre arriveranno le T-shirt e camicie, mentre, oltre al carattere di Janky, stanno lavorando a uno nuovo personaggio: Hench. Un hotel molto sexy, opera di Ian Schrager, uno dei fondatori del leggendario Studio54 (che ora viene pure celebrato da un documentario, “Studio 54 – The Documentary” e che ospita, fino a gennaio 2019, lo show The Lifespan of a Fact, con Daniel Radcliffe, l’ex bambino della serie Harry Potter, e Bobby Cannavale), è Public, che vanta alta tecnologia in tutte le sue stanze, oltre che design spettacolare. Il suo ristorante è ispirato dai viaggi per il mondo dello chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten, è organic, con menù per tutti i gusti e le diete, tra cui quella vegan. Il Bowery Garden è una terrazza all’aperto, ispirata dai giardini parigini e italiani. E, perfino, il cibo casual qui diviene sensuale da Louis, un’altra “nuova invenzione” che sposa il caffè al mercato. Serve “slow food” organic da gourmet.

David Gill on the Art of Design Revered London gallerist David Gill discusses his new book. By Angela Schuster
Photo: Ricardo Loabougle, Courtesy of David Gill Gallery
Few gallerists have had as great an impact on the evolution of the luxury design market as it currently exists as London-based aesthete David Gill. Since opening his first gallery on Fulham Road in Chelsea more than three decades ago, Gill has championed the work of designers such as Gaetano Pesce, Patrik Fredrikson and Ian Stallard, Tom Dixon, Mattia Bonetti, Fernando and Humberto Compana, and Michele Oka Doner—nearly all of whom have become household names for those in the know. Robb Report recently caught up with the peripatetic Gill on the eve of this month’s release of his new book, David Gill: Designing Art, published by Vendome Press, to talk about the state of the art of design and his most recent collaboration with architect Daniel Libeskind, which he is unveiling at the Salon Art+Design in New York later this fall. Since opening your first shop, have you noticed any major shifts in the market for design? Definitely, in terms of an exponential growth in awareness of design as art among collectors, particularly when it comes to the secondary market. There has always been a strong primary market for custom design. If you think about masters such as [Émile-Jacques] Ruhlmann or Jean-Michel Frank, their work was highly sought, and quite expensive actually, in their day. When it comes to designers of the past as well as those working currently, people are no longer looking at design as something to simply to enjoy living with but are viewing it as art in itself, as something to collect, especially when it comes to unique pieces or limited-edition pieces.
https://robbreport.com/shelter/home-design/david-gill-the-art-of-design-2822791/
You have collaborated with a number of prominent designers. How did these projects come about? In many, many different ways. With Donald Judd, for instance, we had quite a number of conversations about design before I began showing his Minimalist aluminum furniture in the late 1980s. The same for Zaha Hadid. I had known her for two decades before we chose to collaborate. With [noted architect] Daniel Libeskind, he recently approached me to see if we might work together on a project. We have since collaborated on a suite of pieces, including an incredible coffee table and what we call his Skytrap chair, which I will be bringing to Salon Art+Design this November. But, I am always on the lookout for work that would like to have that would fit with what I am trying to say visually. Are there young artists you are excited about? There are. Each year we have a group show at the gallery where we present the work of emerging artists—usually 5 to 10. And we often make discoveries there. Among the talents that have come to us recently is a ceramicist, Lena Peters, who is now represented by the gallery.

Что-то старое, что-то новое и что-то из Нью-Йорка Седьмая выставка The Salon Art + Design — событие, одинаково важное и для дизайнеров, и для художников: более 20 галерей Нью-Йорка представят коллекции дизайна и искусства от античности и до самых прогрессивных современных мастеров. Галереи еще 11 стран поддержат событие выставками у себя на родине. Критики отмечают главную особенность The Salon Art + Design, которая выделяет его среди прочих подобных: экспозиции организованы таким образом, чтобы представить зрителю тенденции, а не отдельные экспонаты, связанные лишь временем или именем
молодых дизайнеров и вручение наград, представление инновационных материалов для дизайна и строительства, финал конкурса и награждение за лучшие архитектурные рисунки — The Architecture Drawing Prize. В этом году церемония закрытия фестиваля состоится 30 ноября в Beurs van Berlage, некогда товарной бирже в самом центре Амстердама, здании, спроектированном Хендриком Петрюсом Берлаге. Архитектор был убежденным социалистом и изначально не верил в биржевую торговлю, сделав здание так, чтобы после победы социализма оно служило социальным нуждам. Со зданием все получилось, пусть и не именно так, как верил Берлаге.
С 28 по 30 ноября у гостей Амстердама будет неплохая возможность получить передозировку информацией, на все остальное времени явно не хватит. Программа на World Architecture Festival в этом году включает: серию лекций от ведущих мировых дизайнеров и архитекторов о том, что было понаделано и понастроено за последние два десятилетия (и как теперь с этим жить). А также: женщины, которые внесли особый вклад в развитие архитектуры, интернациональный брутализм, китайская айдентика, городские арт-инсталляции, поп-ап-экспозиции, традиционные шоу
художника. The Salon Art + Design — также одно из тех событий, во время которого можно увидеть редчайшие экспонаты из архивов галерей, например, обои наполеоновских времен. С 8 по 12 ноября. t h e s a l o n n y . c o m
Не только трогать, не только руками До 28 октября в нью-йоркском музее Cooper Hewitt представлена уникальная выставка об ощущении дизайна — The Senses: Design Beyond Vision.

Zizipho Poswa: Imiso Ceramics By Staff Writer HOW DID YOU COME TO BE DOING WHAT YOU DO? After matric I studied textile design at Port Elizabeth Technikon. I was fortunate to be exposed to textiles and ceramics, and it’s where I met my current business partner. We reconnected in Cape Town and shared a common vision of starting a business. WHAT DO YOU ENJOY MOST ABOUT YOUR PROFESSION? I love the freedom of creating my own work. I am fortunate to be doing what I love; it motivates me to get up in the morning. WHAT OR WHO INSPIRES YOU? I draw inspiration from colour, pattern and texture, and from what’s around me, my background as a Xhosa woman and traditional African art. My latest series, Umthwalo, is an ode to women and the load they carry. WHAT’S NEXT FOR YOU? Southern Guild Gallery will be showcasing my sculptural pieces at The Salon Art + Design in New York and Design Miami in November this year. imisoceramics.co.za

T Suggests: Furniture for Doomsday, Riot Grrrl T-Shirts and More A roundup of things T editors — and a few contributors — are excited about in a given week. By Coco Romack

Furniture Designs for Doomsday What does furniture design look like in a dystopia? Ore Streams, a collection of office furnishings from the Amsterdam-based design duo Studio Formafantasma (“ghost shape” in Italian) offers one suggestion. The desk, table, cabinet, low chair, shelf, lamp, wastebasket and cubicle walls are all made from dead stock and recycled materials. Their design alludes to a potentially not-so-distant future in which the largest metal reserves have been hollowed from the earth to fulfill ever-growing consumer demands and are no longer mined but found in existing products, like building materials, appliances and electronics. Originally commissioned by Melbourne’s National Gallery of Victoria, in Australia, and now exclusively produced in limited editions for the Roman gallery Giustini/Stagetti, the pieces appear austere at first glance, but a closer inspection reveals surprisingly familiar elements. A chair, welded from aluminum and coated with metallic car paint, includes components of a dissected mobile phone. Six empty computer towers merge with transparent glass to form a functional standing cabinet. Throughout, gold sourced from electronic detritus is incorporated as a bright finish, most apparently as coating inside a leather rubbish bin. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/19/t-magazine/hotel-peter-and-paul-kathleen-hanna-shirts-editorspicks.html?rref=collection%2Fsectioncollection%2Ft-magazine&action=click&contentCollection=tmagazine&region=rank&module=package&version=highlights&contentPlacement=12&pgtype=sectionfront
Propelled by “the lack of transparency of the materials we are using daily,” the firm’s designers, Andrea Trimarchi and Simone Farresin, explain that Ore Streams is at once an effort to identify how design can be used to correct flaws in the current waste system and also an endeavor to highlight the relationship between production and finished piece. “As designers, but also as citizens, our lives and our profession are extremely affected by digital means,” they explain in an emailed statement. “In this sense, we wanted to investigate not only their potential but also how, physically, electronics have an impact in the environment once discarded.” Ore Steams makes its United States debut at Salon Art & Design at the Park Avenue Armory in New York on Nov. 8.

Design in the Spotlight in New York Meet some of the visionaries showing in at the Salon Art+Design November 8 through 12. By Angela M.H. Schuster

Since its inception, the New York–based art fair called Salon Art+Design has sharpened its focus on the work of cutting-edge designers and artists. And the seventh edition is getting ready to run at the Park Avenue Armory on November 8 through 12. Says Jill Bokor, director of the event, “While the fair has gained a reputation for its strength in mid-century-modern furniture by such luminaries as Jean Prouvé and Gio Ponti, the work of younger designers is really coming to the fore now.” A case in point is Dutch designer Reinier Bosch, whose high-polished Melt pieces look like beautiful puddles of precious metal. His elegant Dew bench dripping in bronze (pictured above) is bound to be a highlight, as is the work of Alex Chinneck, who brings his beguiling sculpture to the show in the form of Growing Up Gets Me Down, a sinuous wooden grandfather clock that looks like a relic from Alice’s Wonderland. Both artists—thirtysomethings with impressive résumés—are headlining for the Dutch gallery Priveekollektie Contemporary Art | Design, one of dozens of galleries at the show focusing on fresh talent.

Of particular note, says Bokor, is the number of dealers offering spectacular lighting, from covetable European works offered by Galerie Kreo of Paris to pared-down pieces by Amsterdam-based duo Andrea Trimarchi and Simone Farresin of Formafantasma, which are being presented by Giustini/Stagetti of Rome. Other standouts include massive one-of-a-kind, hand-welded bronze fixtures embedded with LED lights by Irish sculptor Naimh Barry and ethereal “clouds”—flush-mount lighting pieces built upon a gossamer web of glass by Israeli designer Ayala Serfaty. Bespoke works by the latter two artists take center stage in the booth of Benoist Drut of New York–based Maison Gerard. The growing demand for personal enlightenment? Bokor suggests it is largely in response to the increasing cookie-cutter nature of so much new real estate. “A spectacular designer lighting element can pack a powerful punch even in the smallest of rooms.”

Notturno 1, i Campana Brothers in mostra a Roma e poi New York By Staff Writer La nuova mostra del duo d’oro dell’arte mondiale, Campana Brothers apre il 25 ottobre a Roma presso la galleria Giustini/Stagetti. Bacteria è una lampada da terra dei Campana Brothers, parte della mostra che si chiama Notturno I, e sarà in mostra con una serie di creazioni e disegni mai visti prima. Alcune elementi della collezione in mostra a Roma saranno in esposizione alla fiera di New York The Salon Art + Design a novembre (dall’8 al 12).
In apertura di servizio vedete un dettaglio del tappeto Bacteria di Campana Brothers, realizzato in lana di banano e lana e mostrato qui nella variante nera e oro. Anche questo tappeto fa parte di Notturno I. Dal 1983, i fratelli Fernando (nato nel 1961) e Humberto (nato nel 1953) Campana hanno consolidato la loro carriera raggiungendo il riconoscimento nazionale e internazionale. Il loro lavoro incorpora l’idea di trasformazione e reinvenzione. Dare preziosità a materiali poveri, quotidiani o comuni porta non solo la creatività nel loro design, ma anche le caratteristiche molto brasiliane: i colori, le miscele, il caos creativo, il trionfo di soluzioni semplici. Nel 2017 una grande monografica è stata dedicata ai fratelli Campana è stata organizzata al museo Oscar Niemeyer (MON) a Curitiba, Brazil. http://www.thewaymagazine.it/targets/notturno-1-i-campana-brothers-in-mostra-a-roma-e-poi-new-york/

The history of Islam must be one of the world’s richest and most complex, abounding in dynastic conquests, crusades and controversies, architecture, poetry, music and myth. The second-largest religion, it’s also one of the oldest; in the seventh century, an illiterate merchant named Muhammad received his first revelation of the Qur’an, and the culture of his followers has blossomed across the globe ever since. No wonder, then, that the galleries dedicated to its art and artefacts are as sumptuous as its past. And as of 18 OCTOBER, those of the British Museum are set to be even more so, as the ALBUKHARY FOUNDATION GALLERY opens, redisplaying the institution’s Islamic collection – from a Medieval Damascene incense burner to a 19thcentury Sudanese lyre – in a new space created in the shell of two historic Victorian rooms by Stanton Williams. Much to our pleasure, the curators are no slaves to the past, either, introducing contemporary works on paper to the displays – and, with them, a dialogue between cultures old and new. There’s much to see and much to admire. Details: 020 7323 8299; britishmuseum.org.

One of the most satisfying aspects of The Salon is that it “showcases global material for every taste”. The beloved event brings together all types of galleries making it one of the most well-rounded of its kind. It grants the chance for collectors and interior designers alike to create meaningful environments rather than simply put objects together with no narrative behind their design. For this to happen fluidly, The Salon selected exhibitors based on their precision and creativity and their aptitude to present material that both predicts and reflects trends in the international culture of living. Over 56 galleries are expected to participate in this year’s edition, including the likes of Galerie BSL, Friedman Benda, Sarah Myerscough Gallery, Nilufar Gallery, and countless prestigious others.

The Salon Art + Design’s Jill Bokor on Top Picks of Her Hometown By Connor Goodwin
Jill Bokor, chief of The Salon Art + Design, and a native New Yorker
The Park Avenue Armory was completed in 1881 and was intended as “both a military facility and a social club.” Like many historic buildings, it has since been converted into a cultural hub that boasts a robust set of art exhibitions, fairs, and performances. In the overdeveloped landscape of New York, Park Avenue Armory stands out for its remarkable conservation efforts and to this day remains one of the largest buildings to have its interiors survive intact. This appreciation for the decorative interiors blended with its forward-looking programs make it a more than apt location for The Salon Art + Design which brings together nearly 60 international galleries featuring an eclectic mix of fine and decorative arts from Old Masters to young innovators, antiquities to groundbreaking design. BLOUIN ARTINFO spoke to Jill Bokor, Executive Director of The Salon Art + Design, to hear what she’s most excited for in this year’s edition, the delights of Central Park, and, of course, where to get the best pizza and bagels. The Salon Art + Design will take place November 8-12 at the Park Avenue Armory, on the Upper East Side neighborhood of New York.

Are you from New York originally? New Yorker, born and bred. What are the qualifications of being a New Yorker? Having the ability to suffer bad diner coffee. Having olfactory reminiscences from the smell of the pretzel vendors with their charred chestnuts on Fifth Avenue in the holiday season. And best of all, they’re still around. Most importantly, watching the Guggenheim being built and wanting to roller skate down the ramps! What can visitors expect from this year’s edition of The Salon Art + Design and what are you most excited for specifically? For me the excitement is in seeing how the fair evolves each year. Our exhibitors up their game — the ultimate compliment is being told that a piece is being put aside for months to bring to the fair. And, though some say there’s nothing new under the sun, I like to think there’s always something new to The Salon — whether it’s a previously unseen Frank Lloyd Wright installation — we have on this year — or a major Wendell Castle dining set. We have that, too. Additionally this year, our partners’ rooms are amazing. There’s an installation by Lalique, an incredible display of artisanal finishes by The Callidus Guild, a Collector’s Lounge that’s the best I’ve ever seen at any fair designed by Charles Burnand of London, and a project from Eileen Fisher highlighting sustainability in textiles! Do you have a favorite bar where visitors could unwind after a long day at the Salon? Yes, but if I tell you, there won’t be room for me. Seriously though it’s the gorgeous Jacques Grange designed bar at The Mark Hotel. I recommend the ginger margarita. For warmer weather, the rooftop bar at The Public with its 360-degree views that go on forever is the spot! New York is world famous for its pizza and bagels. What’s the best spot for each? Joe’s on Bleecker (not to be confused with long-time fixture, John’s). For bagels head to Black Seed — artisanal not, traditional. There are four locations, all downtown. What’s a New York dining establishment that visitors must try? If you can make it to Brooklyn and eat steak, Peter Luger’s is a must! For elegant dining, Vaucluse is perfection! More casual would be Veselka, which has been around forever and is open 24/7. Finally ABC Kitchen by Jean Georges is consistently wonderful. Is there a new restaurant you’ve had your eye on that you could recommend? I haven’t been there, but everyone raves about Le Cou Cou.

Can you recommend one art museum and one non-art museum and explain why you chose them? That’s incredibly hard in New York, but I love the accessibility of the Neue Museum. The exhibitions are gorgeously curated and thoughtful and never overwhelming. My all time favorite museum is The Museum of the City of New York. Everyone should go there. If you’re a New Yorker, you get in touch with your love of place. If you’re not, you’ll understand us better. The counterpoint to that is the Tenement Museum on the Lower East Side. We all came from somewhere else at one time and it’s important and impactful to remember what that must have been like. What is your favorite neighborhood in New York and why? Central Park. It has everything, food, fashion, entertainment, wildlife, and performance art and it’s never the same from one day to the next. What is the one tourist trap you’d recommend to people visiting New York for the first time? See a corny musical on Broadway. The crowds and pace of life in New York can quickly become claustrophobic and stressful. Where do you go or what do you do when you need a moment to decompress? The boat basin in Central Park, with a quick visit to the iconic Alice in Wonderland sculpture right next to it. Where would you recommend people stay in New York (could be a neighborhood or hotel)? If you’re feeling flush, The Mandarin Oriental for it’s perfect location and hedonistic spa. Lower key would be The Gramercy Park hotel for a little bastion of old New York combined with a bit of edge. Finally, Jets or Giants? Are you kidding? Third generation Big Blue fan — even though you have to dig down for your loyalty these days!

The Salon Art + Design By Staff Writer
Every November The Salon Art + Design welcomes the world’s finest international galleries exhibiting historical, modern and contemporary furniture, groundbreaking design and late 19th through 21st-century art. Visitors will find classic designs by the great international 20th century masters, as well as creative works by today’s most innovative young artists. From classic and abstract antiquities to Art Nouveau, Deco, Mid Century Modern and the 1970’s, 80’s and 90’s culminating in the latest work of emerging masters, The Salon showcases global material for every taste. The Salon’s success is predicated on the quality of its galleries and the material they exhibit. Few fairs today include the range of both fine and decorative arts found at The Salon. Acknowledging the intent of collectors and interior designers to create environments rather than simply amass objects, the Salon exhibitors are chosen for their precise and creative way of presenting material that both predicts and reflects trends in the international culture of living. Ultimately, The Salon is curated on the premise that collectors and designers insist on a vibrant, uncommon array of styles, materials, and periods as long as the quality is impeccable. Produced by Sanford L. Smith + Associates.

Salon Art + Design 2018: the Wallpaper* preview By Pei-Ru Keh
New York’s elevated showcase of collectible vintage, modern and contemporary designs The Salon Art + Design returns to the Park Avenue Armory 8-12 November, with 55 art and design galleries from 11 different countries packed in. The fair’s signature mix of furniture, fine and decorative art couldn’t be better exemplified than some of its unique highlights, including a site-specific installation by the art for architecture design studio, Callidus Guild, made with the gallery Jeff Lincoln Art + Design. Here are some of this year’s other standout offerings that shouldn’t be missed...
https://www.wallpaper.com/design/the-salon-art-and-design-2018-highlights
Bernard Goldberg Fine Arts, New York
One of the fair’s most highly anticipated presentations is Bernard Goldberg’s collection of rare and unseen furniture designs from Frank Lloyd Wright. These include high-back chairs from 1908 for Browne’s Bookstore in Chicago, which closed in 1912, a series of rugs that Wright designed for the Arthur Heurtley house during his Prairie years, as well as the Peacock side chair from the 1920s that were created for the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo. To properly showcase the works, the New York gallerist has transformed his booth into a Wrightian house setting to serve as a fitting backdrop.
https://www.wallpaper.com/design/the-salon-art-and-design-2018-highlights
Southern Guild, South Africa
As one of South Africa’s pioneering design galleries, Southern Guild brings the work of 21 South African artists to the Big Apple this year, many of which have never been presented on an international stage. The hand-thrown ceramics of Andile Dyalvane not only express the artist’s Xhosa heritage, but also reference specific aspects of rural life. His ‘Idlala’ (‘grain silo’ in Xhosa) series, which will be exhibited, highlights the central role of maize cultivation and its various impacts on village life.
https://www.wallpaper.com/design/the-salon-art-and-design-2018-highlights
Callidus Guild and Jeff Lincoln Art + Design, New York
The Brooklyn-based artist Yolande Batteau is a cherished favourite in design circles for her highly artistic approach to wall coverings and treatments. This year, Batteau takes over the Armory’s historic Library Room to create a unique installation comprised of a series of stelae, built from towering monoliths of plaster and canvas, as well as surfaces encrusted with metals, stone and marble dust plaster. In such a setting, Jeff Lincoln Art + Design has curated a selection of furniture and ceramics, including a Shiro Kuramata chair and a table by the glassartist John Pomp, to add to its dramatic effect.
https://www.wallpaper.com/design/the-salon-art-and-design-2018-highlights
Wexler Gallery, Philadelphia
Amongst the many gems that Philadelphia’s Wexler Gallery is presenting, the most memorable is a dining set by the late Wendell Castle. Purchased from a prominent Philadelphia collector who did not have room to accommodate it at their new residence in California, gallerist Lewis Wexler jumped to procure it. He says, ‘[The dining set] is beautifully crafted as only Wendell was capable of doing. It is a sculptural beauty but also a practical piece of furniture. The practicality of the piece, with a sunburst top that can be expanded by the number of triangular leaves added, is what really appeals to me.’ The Future Perfect, New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco
The Future Perfect makes its fair debut with an avant-garde selection of contemporary design. The downtown gallery focuses its inaugural effort on new work from two of its contemporary ceramicists – the Californiabased artist Eric Roinestad, who infuses historical modern design and architecture with folkloric aspects of his Scandinavian heritage (pictured), and the Brooklyn-based Reinaldo Sanguino, who pairs his heavy statuesque forms with vibrant, painterly colours and motifs.
https://www.wallpaper.com/design/the-salon-art-and-design-2018-highlights
Dansk Mobelkunst, Copenhagen and Paris
Named after the Danish word for Furniture Art, Dansk Mobelkunst specialises in rare Danish furniture made from 1920-70 – the period when a body of craftsmen, designers and architects erased the boundaries between functional objects and works of art. The gallery’s collection, which includes both handcrafted masterpieces and classic examples of industrial design, ranges from glazed stoneware vases from the 1930s by Axel Salto to a pair of leather chairs by Kaare Klint, also from the 1930s – thus showcasing an unexpected side of Danish design. §

Astonishing Variety, Unabashed Luxury At THE SALON ART + DESIGN 2018 By Marianne Litty
R + Company
THE SALON ART + DESIGN, an epic and extraordinary event produced by Sanford Smith + Associates, will return for its seventh edition to the iconic Park Avenue Armory in New York City, opening on November 9th and running through November 12th. With record attendance numbers in 2017, THE SALON has emerged as a preeminent art and design fair, lauded for unparalleled eclecticism, vibrant energy, and the unabashed luxuriousness of its offerings. Reflecting a global approach to design and collecting, the fair will host 57 galleries from 11 different countries, and with more than half of the exhibitors coming from outside the United States, it is an opportunity to view a selection and range of work rarely seen here. The show mirrors the current expanded thinking on art and design, with their definitions and boundaries broadened to include a wide range of creative works as art, and design objects now recognized as works of art themselves.

Выставка The Salon Art + Design: 5 тем и 12 вещей By Staff Writer Нью-йоркская «витрина» коллекционного дизайна The Salon Art + Design возвращается в здание военного арсенала Park Avenue Armory. В этом году седьмая по счету сессия ярмарки (8–12 ноября) соберет вместе 55 галерей искусства и дизайна из 11 разных стран. Называем шесть тем и имен, которые выделяются среди всех экспонентов. По теме: Dior х Carpenters Workshop Gallery
Фрэнк Ллойд Райт. Стул, 1953. Bernard Goldberg Fine Arts.
Райт. Одна из самых ожидаемых презентаций выставки — коллекция редких и ранее не выставлявшихся предметов мебели Фрэнка Ллойда Райта ньюйоркской галереи Bernard Goldberg Fine Arts. Стулья с высокими спинками для книжного магазина Browne's в Чикаго, серия ковриков, которые Райт разработал для дома Артура Хертли в период работы над «Домами прерий», а также стул Peacock 1920-х годов, созданный для отеля Imperial в Токио. Чтобы продемонстрировать работы, нью-йоркский галерист превратил свой стенд в дом наподобие построек Райта — это обеспечит объекты подходящим фоном.
http://www.interior.ru/design/event/4762-vystavka-the-salon-art-design-5-tem-i-12-veshchej.html?gallery=1&slide=7
Эрик Ройнестад. Объекты из керамики. The Future Perfect
Эрик Ройнестад. The Future Perfect совершит на выставке дебют с авангардным выбором современного дизайна. Галерея фокусируется на новой работе двух современных керамистов — калифорнийского художника Эрика Ройнестада (Eric Roinestad), который внедряет в современный дизайн и архитектуру фольклорные аспекты своего скандинавского наследия, и базирующегося в Бруклине Рейнальдо Сангвино (Reinaldo Sanguino), который соединяет массивные формы скульптур с яркими, живописными красками и узорами.
Уэнделл Касл, обеденный стол и стулья, Wexler Gallery, Филадельфия.
Уэнделл Касл Среди многих сокровищ, представленных в Wexler Gallery самым запоминающимся является обеденный стол работы Уэнделла Касла(1933-2018). Галерист Льюис Уэкслер оперативно приобрел стол у известного коллекционера из Филадельфии, у которого просто не нашлось для модели места в новом доме в Калифорнии. Обеденный стол со стульями выполнены так красиво, как это мог сделать только Уэнделл. Это и прекрасная скульптура, и практичный предмет мебели.

Керамика Андиля Дьялвана, Southern Guild.
Африка Southern Guild — одна из новаторских дизайнерских галерей Южной Африки. В этом году она представит работы 21 южноафриканского художника, причем многие из которых никогда не были представлены на международной арене. Обработанная вручную керамика Андиля Дьялвана (Andile Dyalvane) не только выражает наследие этнической группы Коса, но и указывает на конкретные аспекты сельской жизни. Его серия Idlala («Зернохранилище» на языке Коса), которая будет показана на выставке, подчеркивает центральную роль культивации кукурузы и ее различные воздействия на деревенскую жизнь.
Арт-объект Иоланды Батто. Callidus Guild
Иоланда Батто Бруклинский художник Иоланда Батто (Yolande Batteau) — обласканный фаворит в дизайнерских кругах за ее высокохудожественный подход к настенным покрытиям и отделкам. В этом году, в стенах исторической библиотеки Park Avenue Armory Батто создала уникальную инсталляцию, состоящую из гипса, холста, а также инкрустированных поверхностей, покрытых мраморной штукатуркой. На ее фоне галерея Jeff Lincoln Art + Design представит выбор мебели и керамики, в том числе стул Широ Кураматы.

10 THINGS TO DO IN NYC RIGHT NOW
1.ART: Andy Warhol: From A to B and Back Again
The first Andy Warhol retrospective in the U.S. for three decades is not to be missed. It showcases 350 works, many displayed together for the first time, and traces Warhol’s rise from illustrator to pop icon. Before the age of Instagram, we see his celebration of celebrity culture including silkscreen portraits of Marilyn Monroe and Elvis. Visitors can, of course, take their own selfies. Members ($90 individual membership) get a sneak peek from November 7 to 11. Warhol’s groundbreaking films are also being screened through the duration of the noted exhibit. The Whitney Museum of American Art, Manhattan, November 12 - March 31, 2019. See whitney.org

2. CINEMA: The Favourite
There’s already Oscar buzz surrounding this movie and if you want to see it first, head to New York City. The period drama, or “dramedy” as it has been called, is released in the U.S. on November 23, before hitting cinemas worldwide a month later. This latest offering from filmmaker Yorgos Lanthimos, known for
The Lobster (2015), is a darkly comic tale starring Emma Stone, Rachel Weisz and Olivia Colman as figures from British history. It is set during the reign of Queen Anne in the early 18th century, and it has been hailed by Variety as “a perfectly cut diamond of a movie.”
3. BAR: Katana Kitten
Tokyo-meets-Manhattan at this super cool cocktail bar that recently opened in the West Village. With vintage Japanese posters on the walls and a Shibuya-inspired vibe, it’s already the place to be seen and was a hit during Fashion Week. On one side of the venue you can try inventive cocktails and on the other is a restaurant serving Japanese street food such as nori fries, charred Japanese eggplant and fujimi crispy chicken. Hudson Street, Manhattan. See katanakitten.com

4. INTERIOR DESIGN: The Salon Art + Design
showcasing a curated selection from 51 galleries around the world. It’s one of the few events of its kind to feature both furniture and art, ranging from historical to contemporary. This year’s event committee includes Hamish Bowles and Lizzie Tisch, and many high-profile collectors flock to the sophisticated fair to discover new furniture designers.

5. CULTURE: The Moth
This storytelling series of events has become legendary in New York City creative circles, while still managing to stay under the radar with visitors. The tagline is “True Stories Told Live” and it’s a unique experience that will keep you entertained, inspired and moved. At each event there is a theme—Beginnings on November 7, Instincts on December 3 and Joy on December 6—and you can just listen to others telling stories or, if you’re feeling brave, you can step up to the mic yourself. Various locations. See themoth.org

7. PHOTOGRAPHY: Yasumasa Morimura: Ego Obscura
He has been called the Japanese Cindy Sherman and he is one of the most talked about contemporary artists in his home country. Now Yasumasa Morimura’s photographic self-portraits, in which he transforms himself into iconic figures like Frida Kahlo, Leonardo da Vinci, Vincent van Gogh and Che Guevara, are on display in New York City. The art chameleon offers both a critique of - and an homage to - Western culture.
6. RESTAURANT: Di An Di
Greenpoint is seen by some as the new Williamsburg and many exciting restaurants and bars have been popping up in the neighborhood. The new Di An Di is a light, plant-filled space that has been dubbed “the most Instagram-friendly Vietnamese restaurant in New York.” The food lives up to the ambience, with delicious noodle soups, rice paper salads, and Vietnamese pizza made with a rice base - proving a hit with critics. Greenpoint Avenue, Brooklyn. See diandi.nyc

9. FASHION: Jewelry: The Body Transformed
As if you need an excuse to visit The Met, now there’s a dazzling jewelry exhibit that highlights everything from ornate headdresses, necklaces and rings from 2600 BCE to precious objects from the present day. Members ($100 individual membership) get to preview the show on November 7, or you can skip the crowds and take a private tour of the museum for $175 per person.

10. RESTAURANT: Misi
Make your way to this pasta room opened by chef Missy Robbins from the nearby Lilia restaurant, frequented by celebrities galore—even Jennifer Lawrence waits for
8. ART: Bruce Nauman: Disappearing Acts
Since the 1960s, Bruce Nauman’s work has been both provocative and experimental, often exploring ideas about existence. His style still has edge and relevance today and he is one of the most influential living contemporary artists in America. This is his first retrospective in 25 years and demonstrates how he has worked across every medium, from photography to neon.

APPUNTAMENTO A NEW YORK PER THE SALON ART + DESIGN 2018 Ritorna The Salon Art + Design, la fiera di design e arti decorative, in scena dall’8 al 12 novembre a Park Avenue Armory. By Daniela Ambrosio Saranno 55 le gallerie provenienti da 11 paesi diversi ospiti di The Salon Art + Design, la fiera di design giunta quest’anno alla sua ottava edizione. Ancora una volta, la kermesse - prodotta da Sanford Smith + Associates - intende puntare in alto, presentando un’accurata selezione di gallerie internazionali e offrendo una variegata offerta di generi, epoche e gusti diversi. Dall’interior contemporaneo, moderno e d’epoca, all’Art déco, dai grandi maestri ai più innovativi artisti e giovani designer di oggi, il tutto sapientemente mixato per soddisfare le esigenze dei collezionisti più eclettici. Il trend dominante sarà “arte e oggetti ispirati ai gioielli”, come ha sottolineato Jill Bokor, Executive Director della fiera. Anche quest'anno si conferma la presenza di gallerie italiane: Galleria Raffaella Colombari, Milano; Giustini/Stagetti Galleria O, Roma, Nilufar Gallery, Milano. Tra gli eventi da non perdere nel corso della settimana, la presentazione del libro "David Gill: Designing Art", che racconta la carriera di una delle figure più influenti nell’ambito dell’arte e del design. Il volume raccoglie una selezione di fotografie inedite delle gallerie di Gill, oltre a interviste e testimonianze che svelano il lavoro del gallerista inglese. A Memphis e al design postmoderno sarà dedicato un panel tenuto dalla storica del design Judith Gura per discutere del sorprendente revival del controverso stile del XX secolo, caratterizzato da colori vivaci, forme sgargianti e bizzarre. Tra le mostre collaterali, da segnalare l’installazione site specific firmata Callidus Guild, che consiste in una serie di stele costruite come altissimi monoliti di intonaco e tela. Si tratta di sculture che si collocano a metà strada tra l’antico e il moderno e che danno forma alla continua indagine dell’arte al servizio dell’architettura che persegue Yolande Batteau, Direttore artistico di Callidus Guild.

Southern Guild Brings South African Design to New York By Robyn Smith This month, Southern Guild, the only gallery that represents collectible design in South Africa, is presenting in New York for the first time. From November 8 to 12, Southern Guild will showcase 21 South African artists, including both established and new designers of furniture, lighting, ceramics and sculpture, at Salon Art + Design.

“South Africa is far away from the rest of the world,” Southern Guild co-founder Trevyn McGowan tells Business of Home. “Being part of Salon means being in direct contact with the U.S., and we need to be present in this kind of environment to benefit what we believe is the global context for the work we’ve been doing. As a continent, the voice of Africa has been underrepresented globally for many years, and we are here to make a new exposition of what that means.”

A piece from Zizipho Poswa’s Umthwalo I Courtesy of Southern Guild
The Southern Guild artists who McGowan considers to be the most current representation of Africa work across various mediums, including ceramics, sculpture, furniture design and textiles. Noteworthy ceramicists include Zizipho Poswa, whose collection Umthwalo I pays homage to Xhosa women and umthwalo, the practice of carrying heavy items on the head; Andile Dyalvane, who once held a solo show at Friedman Benda in New York; Chuma Maweni, who hand-throws stools and side tables; and Madoda Fani, whose smokefired vessels echo what is found in nature and the human body. McGowan also points to the work of Porky Hefer, who uses Kooboo cane to build life-size nests and whose previous project, titled “Endangered,” benefited the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation, as well as Athi-Patra Ruga, an artist who hones in on “the trope of myth as a contemporary response to the post-Apartheid era,” via performance, video, textiles and printmaking. After living and working in London for 22 years, McGowan returned to her native South Africa in 2003 with her husband, Southern Guild co-founder Julian McGowan, with the hope of bringing contemporary South African design to the rest of the world. The pair launched the gallery in 2008, and now work with 40 to 50 designers and artists to produce exhibits at design shows internationally. The gallery currently has two 40foot-long containers of collectible decor en route to the U.S. “Everybody comes from Africa,” says McGowan. “It’s the birthplace of humankind. So, when you see work from Africa, you are reacting to a sense memory—something emotional, something indescribable—and so it is essential that we are all, as an industry and as a community, trying to represent the essence of humankind.”

Future Perfect (United States). “As the Salon’s success is predicated on the quality of its galleries and the material they exhibit, we are proud to announce this outstanding lineup of exceptional exhibitors,” said executive director Jill Bokor. “Few fairs today include the range of both fine and decorative arts found at the Salon. Recognizing the desire of collectors and interior designers to create environments rather than simply amass objects, the Salon exhibitors are chosen for their precise and creative way of presenting material that both predicts and reflects trends in the international

The Salon Art + Design Returns to Park Avenue Armory By Karen Bruno
Fruiting Habits Bed by Jonathan Trayte, 2018. Courtesy of Friedman Benda
In less than a week, Salon Art + Design will open those formidable Gothic Revival doors of the Seventh Regiment Army, also known as the Park Avenue Armory, for, appropriately, its seventh edition. Inside, visitors will find fifty-seven exhibitors showcasing some of the best and most coveted works of modern and contemporary art and design from around the globe, including, for the first time, South Africa. The fair is a premier venue for collectors, and offers an impressive array of design that include everything from antiquities and mid-century wares to new works by up-and-coming twenty-first century designers. “Contemporary artists and collectors are becoming more interested in creating environments, rather than collecting objects,” says Yolande Batteau, the creative director of the New York-based atelier Callidus Guild, known for its custom wall coverings. For Salon, she’ll create an applied-art installation in the historic Armory’s Stanford White-designed Library. Juxtaposed with the wooden vitrines and Louis C. Tiffanydesigned stained-glass windows are the atelier’s five fifteen-foot-tall stelae sculptures made from draped, marble-dusted plaster, Roman cement, gesso-impregnated netting and canvas, and gilding that “point up the theme of materiality and tactility,” she says. “The maker-designer community is increasingly referencing the fine arts rather than the decorative arts.” Completing the stunning tableau is the visionary Glass chair by Shiro Kuramata (1976) and ethereal glass and crystal side tables made by master glassblower John Pomp— all curated by gallery partner Jeff Lincoln Art + Design. http://modernmag.com/the-salon-art-design-returns-to-park-avenue-armory/3/

Southern Guild, a collective which represents the best contemporary South African design, will make its first appearance at Salon, along with numerous other exhibitors, including the contemporary design gallery the Future Perfect and Dansk Møbelkunst, which specializes in rare works of Danish furniture created from 1920 to 1970. In all, there are twelve new additions to this year’s show. “Color is one of this show’s themes,” says Executive Director Jill Bokor. The Paris-based Galerie kreo’s Sarfatti chandelier consists of discs in primary colors. Heller Gallery, known for curating glass-based sculpture, has fanciful vessels made by Sabroso & Siegel and, at Friedman Benda, the British artist Jonathan Trayte’s colorful industrial-style works are on view. The London-based Charles Burnand Gallery and Design Studio, founded by creative director Simon Stewart, is sponsoring the Collector’s Lounge, unveiling ICONS—signed, one-of-a-kind pieces by artisans and artists who are reinterpreting mid-century modern designs for the twenty-first century. These limited-edition works include an urchin-themed chandelier, a “Perla” wall sconce made of cast bronze, and an art deco-inspired console and mirror made of polished nickel and gypsum designed by Drake Anderson. ICONS is collaborating with artists and artisans who use centuries-old materials such as hand-blown Italian glass, French straw marquetry, and gypsum.

This London Design Dealer’s Homes Are As Trailblazing As His Galleries Take a tour of the perfectly curated residences that British aesthetic arbiter David Gill shares with his partner, interior designer Francis Sultana. By Fred. A Bernstein
A new book by London gallerist David Gill (above) offers an exclusive view into the homes he has made with interior designer Francis Sultana (photo by Simon Upton). Top: Bold combinations of art and design characterize the spaces, as evidenced here in the living area of his former gallery-loft in the British capital’s Vauxhall district, which included a 1961 Monogold TM coffee table by Yves Klein and Chantal Joffe painting (photo by Ricardo Labougle).

David Gill has been selling the work of contemporary artists and designers since 1987, most recently at his eponymous gallery on King Street, in London’s St. James’s district. There, across the street from Christie’s (his onetime employer), Gill has emerged as a key player in the blurring of art and design, showcasing works by such talents as Mattia Bonetti, whose tables and chairs have been described as “Versailles on acid,” and the late Zaha Hadid, who used sculptural forms to create furniture of quiet beauty. His new book, David Gill: Designing Art (Vendome Press), chronicles not just his role as a catalyst and dealer but also his life with interior designer Francis Sultana. The couple’s houses serve as object lessons (pun intended) in how to live with works that are often so complex that they seem to require undivided attention. But Gill and Sultana are masters of juxtaposition, finding commonalities in radically different pieces and thus avoiding clashes of the design titans. Born in Zaragoza, Spain, Gill — who will be celebrating the book’s release with a talk with design historian Daniella Ohad at New York’s Cooper-Hewitt museum this Wednesday, November 7, prior to his gallery’s showing at the Salon Art + Design fair at the Park Avenue Armory — found his decorative arts calling early. During a gap year in Paris, he made his first significant purchase: a chair designed for Carlos de Beistegui by Emilio Terry (respectively, an eccentric Spanish-French art collector/decorator and the French architect/designer/artist who dreamed up the whimsical “Louis XVII” style). Gill took a particular interest in Art Deco, finding pieces, he writes, by “almost forgotten designers” like Gilbert Poillerat and Eugene Printz.

Moving to London, Gill studied 17th-century baroque art, then went to work for Christie’s. The experience, he tells journalist Meredith Etherington-Smith in the book’s introduction, “opened my eyes more and more to the twentieth century. I wasn’t an expert — I was more of an administrator — but I listened and, most importantly, I learnt.” https://www.1stdibs.com/introspective-magazine/david-gill/
In 1987, he opened his first gallery, on Fulham Road, showing work by Henri Matisseand Alberto Giacometti and Diego Giacometti, as well as furniture by Le Corbusier, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Frank Lloyd Wright, the 20th century’s three most influential architects. He evinced a predilection for extremes, displaying both the best of minimalism (matte aluminum furniture by Donald Judd) and hyper-maximalism (the “barbarian” baroque extravaganzas of Bonetti and his then-partner Elizabeth Garouste). In 1999, Gill moved to Vauxhall, where he turned a former handbag factory into an exhibition space, with living quarters on the mezzanine. In that new location, he helped Bonetti (now on his own) explore new fabrication methods. For one chest of drawers, “we had to find metal an eighth of a millimeter thick, which was almost impossible,” Gill recalls, adding that for a cabinet, he “sourced twenty-five thousand cylinders, all of which were then hand polished.” In 2012, he opened the St. James’s gallery. There, Gill increasingly turned from curating to facilitating new work. He made a splash with a show introducing Hadid’s Liquid Glacial range — acrylic pieces whose parts intersect in vortex-like forms. “The tabletops don’t appear to be flat, and you almost feel the water flowing down the legs,” Gill told an interviewer shortly after the architect’s 2016 death, describing Hadid’s technique as “just so magical.” Other shows included “Meretricious,” devoted to the work of Cuban-born artist Jorge Pardo and featuring his collection of 12 oval wall mirrors framed by images of such critics as Hal Foster, HansUlrich Obrist and Clement Greenberg; and “Mysterium,” featuring Michele Oka Doner’s bronze sculptures inspired by natural forms.
In 2015, Gill mounted “Meritricious,” a solo show of work by the Cuban-born artist Jorge Pardo. The exhibition displayed a collection of case pieces and tables painted with portraits of the artist and his family, as well as a series of 12 oval mirrors framed by images of art critics.

Gill’s London home is in the Albany, an 18th-century Piccadilly mansion that was converted to apartments in 1802 and whose residents have ranged from Lord Byron to Aldous Huxley to Norman Foster to David Hicks, whose apartment has recently been redone by his son, Ashley Hicks. The top-floor space Gill and Sultana share was previously owned by the American artist and magazine publisher Fleur Cowles. Gill kept most of the walls white, as a neutral backdrop for a collection of artworks that are anything but self-effacing. A Barnaby Barford ceramic depicting a car crash is called Shit! Now I’m Going To Be Really Late. Pieces by Christopher Wool, Paul McCarthy and Richard Prince are equally challenging. It may be hard to imagine furniture as distinctive as that kind of art, but Gill has found it in the work of Bonetti and others.

The couple’s vacation home is an 18th-century stone castle, Palazzo de Torres, in Valletta, Malta. Gill and Sultana (who is Maltese) tried to preserve the original architecture but couldn’t help embellishing a bit. In the salon, ceiling beams were given a striped pattern by the artist Daniel Buren. In the stair hall, an Olafur Eliasson fixture illuminates a cherry-red McCarthy sculpture of Michael Jackson. Tables and chairs by Bonetti bring a dose of surrealism to many of the rooms. There are also pieces with compelling shapes but upholstered in (relatively) sedate fabrics, many of them by Sultana. Back at his London gallery, Gill continues to innovate. This month brings two exhibitions of work that couldn’t be more different: the angular metal tables and chairs of Maria Pergay and Lena Peters’s “cute” ceramic pieces. The latter, created during the residency Gill offered Peters upon her graduation last year from Central Saint Martins, are devotional objects that meld pagan animal worship with Christian iconography. Collectors are compelled “by the entirely convincing backstory behind each piece,” says Gill, who has, of course, already found room for some of those pieces at home.

IT ALL ADDS UP: As part of the fashion industry’s ongoing crusade to make sustainability a more palatable subject, the art installation “Waste No More” will be staged at the Park Avenue Armory starting Thursday. On view through Nov. 12, the environmentally oriented project will be set up in conjunction with The Salon Art + Design. Curated by Li Edelkoort, the show is meant to raise awareness about the mammoth amount of textile waste that consumers contribute to annually and to also show visitors the upsides of the circular economy.

An estimated $500 billion worth of clothing that is barely worn and rarely recycled is lost annually. More simply put, the average U.S. citizen throws away 70 pounds of clothing each year. Without any improvement, the fashion industry will use up a quarter of the world’s carbon budget by 2050, according to the Ellen MacArthur Foundation. With a name that seems to riff on the theatrical immersion experience, “Sleep No More,” Waste No More will be set up in the reception rooms of the Upper East Side Armory. It is presented by DesignWork, which is part of Renew, an initiative that turns previously owned Eileen Fisher clothing into felted material for fashion, home and interiors. In the past nine years, the company has collected more than 1 million worn or torn garments through its take-back and reuse program. Throughout her career, Fisher has been very vocal about the need for sustainability. With its Vision2020 program, the company has pledged to use the most sustainable fibers that it can find including all organic cotton and linen, wool from responsibly raised sheep and only polyester that has been recycled. DesignWork links up artists and makers to rework consumers’ used garments for wall hangings and other items that are used for interiors and public spaces. Some of those designs will be showcased at the Dear Mama Café that is planned for the Columbia University’s new Jerome L. Greene Science Center. That Renzo-Piano-designed facility will be the first building to be completed on the school’s satellite 17-acre campus. When Waste No More was staged in Milan and Paris this spring, about 6,613 pounds of clothing was used for the waste installation. For the U.S. version, nearly 8,000 pounds of discarded clothing will be on view at the armory. The installation’s tower of old clothing is supposed to remind visitors of the depth of discarded clothing, and show how upcycled materials can be used in contemporary design. The artist and Fisher’s long-term collaborator Sigi Ahl developed the zero-waste “wall works,” which will be displayed in the second gallery. That was done with the help of Eileen Fisher’s sorting and recycling facility in Irvington, N.Y. *Pickup by The Latest *Pickup by Persian.moda

The Salon Art + Design Fair in New York By Cape Town’s Southern Guild By Staff Writer
This month an incredible collection of South African design and art is coming to New York, for The Salon Art + Design Fair from November 8-12. Curated by Southern Guild, a platform that specializes in collectible African design at international design fairs, art weeks and auctions, the presentation promises to showcase a new kind of African luxury. According to Trevyn McGowan, the co-founder of Southern Guild. ‘It’s a visceral and immersive body of work drawn from 21 South African artists who offer insights into a world that is stirring and tactile, familiar yet strange,’ she explains. ‘Part of what makes our work so unique is that it is complex and divergent, so there’s no neat categorization or overarching identity.’ As a result, each of the artists – chosen from both established and emerging designers in the fields of furniture, lighting, ceramics and sculpture – draw from their personal histories, cultural heritage, and indigenous traditions to create work that is unique and contemporary.
https://www.roarafrica.com/southern-guild/
Established artists include the likes of Gregor Jenkin, South Africa’s foremost furniture designer who has pieces in the permanent collection of the Philadelphia Museum of Modern Art; and Porky Hefer, fresh from a sell-out success at Design Miami/Basel where he created a range of sculptures to benefit the Leonardo di Caprio Foundation. Similarly, the work of husband-and-wife team Adriaan Hugo and Katy Taplin of Dokter and Misses, a multi-disciplinary product design company will be shown; as will that of Andile Dyalvane, a renowned ceramicist. Exciting new talents will feature alongside the more established designers such as Richard Mnisi, an internationally acclaimed fashion designer who will showcase his debut furniture collection, as will Zizipho Poswa, who makes powerful ceramics that speak to the artist’s heritage as a Xhosa woman in a modern world – to name but a few. Southern Guild celebrates its 10th anniversary this year and is the only gallery to represent South African collectible design. Founded by Julian and Trevyn McGowan, partners in life and work, the McGowan’s are champions of collectible African design and a tour de force creatively. In 2003 they returned to South Africa from London to start SOURCE, an agency that exports South African design. It was met with great success and in 2012 they started Southern Guild, a related platform that promotes collectible local design abroad at international design fairs, art weeks, and auctions. This was followed two years later by Guild, Africa’s first international design fair that sought to bring some of the world’s leading design galleries and institutions to exhibit alongside local counterparts in Cape Town. Their prolific success has seen them included in USA Art + Auction magazine’s ‘POWER 100’ list of the most influential players in the global art world. If you’re New York-based and interested in limited-edition African art and collectibles, this is the event for you. Should you want to delve deeper into the South African art and design world ROAR AFRICA has intimate relationships and insider access, like no other and can arrange especially curated experiences designed just for you and your interests while in South Africa.

A SNEAK PEEK OF THE SALON ART + DESIGN By Staff Writer
Waste No More By Eileen Fisher Designwork. Curated By Lidewij Edelkoort And Philip Fimmano. Salone Del Mobile, Milan, April, 2018.
The Salon Art + Design returns to the Park Avenue Armory again this year for a week, showcasing the world’s leading vintage, modern and contemporary design—everything from functional pieces to those that cross into the realm of fine art. Site-specific installations, recycled fabrics, Lalique crystal pieces and Goyard trunks paint a lively picture of the design universe’s creative trajectory. In anticipation of the November 8 vernissage, we’ve rounded up the pieces and designers we’re most excited about. Be sure to join Cultured and Absolut Art on Saturday, November 10 for a conversation on the Fusion and Future of Art and Design with Suchi Reddy, Joe Doucet and Sebastian Errazuriz. Eileen Fisher DesignWork Eileen Fisher confronts the cycles of clothing consumption and waste with WASTE NO MORE, an installation comprised of three tons of used clothing. WASTE NO MORE, along with wall hangings made of repurposed fabric that highlight the integration of recyclable materials as design solutions, makes its way to the Park Avenue Armory this November following exhibitions in Milan and Paris earlier this year.

Jill Bokor of The Salon Art + Design on What Makes the Seven-Year-Old Fair “Fluid” By Archana Khare-Ghose

The Salon Art + Design, whose seventh edition gets underway in New York on November 8 and runs through November 12 on the Upper East Side, couldn’t have had a more appropriate location than the Park Avenue Armory. The building, completed in 1881, is known for its period interiors that are still intact. It provides a perfect backdrop to a fair such as The Salon, which prides itself in presenting a tightly curated annual fair, featuring a mix of fine and decorative arts — from Old Masters to Contemporary stars, from decorative arts of the ancient worlds to modern design.
Jill Bokor, head of the Salon, spoke to BLOUINARTINFO on the fair's upcoming edition.
https://enjp.blouinartinfo.com/news/story/3356163/jill-bokor-of-the-salon-art-design-on-what-makes-the-seven
As the fair enters its 7th edition, how will you sum up the journey so far? Has the fair achieved the kind of stability it may have sought in its initial years? And how do you see it progressing to future editions from here? The Salon has matured in ways we could not have foreseen seven years ago. Because we collaborated with the SNA (Syndicate National des Antiquaires) in our first few years, The Salon was very French influenced. While it was distinguished and elegant, it was also somewhat limited, as all the European exhibitors were required to be members of the Syndicat. The real change started in year No. 3 after separating from the Syndicat, and we began to include Contemporary design. I don’t think stability is the most desirable way to describe the fair. While I’m happy to note that 21 of our original exhibitors are still participating (three others do The Salon in alternating years), I prefer to think that we’re fluid — ever-changing with a core of continuity. What are the most exciting trends in the field of design these days that the fair would hope to capture in its upcoming edition? This year I’m seeing many works of architectural geometry, conceived in unconventional ways. At David Gill there’s an incredible console by Daniel Liesbeskind in titanium, spare and slotted. In the same booth is another console by Sebastian Brajovic, all angles folding over themselves with a literal twist! The furniture of Juan and Paloma Garrido also uses sharp angles and shiny surfaces with great purity of form. From Galerie kreo, there’s a Gino Sarfatti chandelier hung from an angular frame descending into circles of color. Mouvements Modernes will showcase a mirror by Elizabeth Garouste that is concave and filled with intersecting squares, triangles and rhomboids giving pause for lots of reflection. Pairing of fine art and design is something that is unique to The Salon, with not many fairs doing it the way you do. In order to limit itself and not spread out with all the possibilities that the two fields offer, does the fair consciously impose certain themes, or any other limiting factors? Is there a number that you hope not to cross while selecting exhibitors? To take the last question first, we have 57 exhibitors in 55 booths. We don’t want to become bigger than that. Too many fairs in the Armory have 70+ dealers, many with rabbit warren-like booths. The Salon has always sought exhibitors who show fine material, but the difference is that we encourage participants to create an environment rather than a selection of objects. It’s been consistently true that the booths with a home-like feel, showing the possibility of design and art residing harmoniously, do much better than the ones who only display objects. So while we don’t consciously impose a theme, it’s sort of a mantra when we’re considering new exhibitors that we hope they’ll create an immersive experience. What are the regions of the world that have most exciting work going on in the field of design currently? Are there some non-traditional regions that are showing promise in terms of creativity, materials used, themes explored, etc.? We’re thrilled to be showing for the first time Contemporary African art and design as presented by Southern Guild. The work is breathtaking and unexpected. Here is a ceramic piece by Andile Dyalvane, a ceramicist who comes from QoboQobo, a small village in the Eastern Cape province of South Africa. Certainly, of interest too, is Brazilian design. The known makers are represented at The Salon, but we’d love to bring a Brazilian design gallery to the fair. https://enjp.blouinartinfo.com/news/story/3356163/jill-bokor-of-the-salon-art-design-on-what-makes-the-seven
How do historical decorative art objects compare with the Contemporary ones? Is there still a proclivity for historical pieces over Contemporary ones? Or is that not a factor at all? I think that “antique” has become an undesirable word, though the concept of having work that is not Contemporary is not anathema. The sea change I’ve noticed is that in the ’80s and ’90s, people collected horizontally — American 18th-century Furniture, or Silver, or Flemish Old Masters, for example. Today’s collectors may well have Gio Ponti, Borsani, Sarfatti, Prouve, Royere and/or Wright in their homes, but you can bet it will be mixed with the best of Contemporary design. Frank Lloyd Wright, of whose work we have an entire booth this year, could look amazing with a colorful Calder (of which we’ll have two). Finally, what used to be called collecting with a capital C has morphed into the consideration that pieces from many countries and periods create a more interesting way to live. And by the way, the “brown wood furniture” which is dismissed by many, is still being made, but it’s different in form and sensibility. Do you think it’s possible to build a great art and design collection like some of the well-known art collections? What kind of cross-collecting knowledge should one have to build one? Absolutely! It’s happening more and more. The great collections are varied and thoughtful, but not contrived. The art and design create spaces in which you really want to spend time — not just view. The top collections are subtle; they don’t scream “design,” they invite. I don’t know that cross-collecting knowledge per se is important. After all, most of these pieces aren’t bought cerebrally, but sensorily. That having been said, of course you’d want to learn all you could about anything that you collected irrespective of what it’s going to live with. If mid-century Murano glass appeals to you, why not pair it with this very graphic 2018 cabinet by Martino Gamper? It’s important to know about the genre, the material, the designer. Look at everything until you hone in on the piece or genre you keep coming back to. Talk to the gallerist. If s/he’s living, talk to the designer. And then finish off the room with a gorgeous monochromatic Fontana Concetto Spaziale! Are there any plans to branch out The Salon to other design hot spots in the form of other annual fairs? We’ve been asked to take the fair to other markets, but I wouldn’t want to replicate The Salon. It would be more interesting to take very edited versions — maybe showing 12-15 galleries — of the fair and create mini-Salons that could also incorporate local talent. It comes up a lot. This article appears in the November edition of BlouinShop magazine.

ollowing a successful first edition last year, Fine Arts Paris returns to the French capital this month in expanded form (7–11 November). It will welcome more than 40 dealers, including 19 newcomers, to its more spacious quarters at the Carrousel du Louvre. The fair continues to bring together specialists in a range of historical periods, from the Renaissance to the present day, who between them offer an eclectic array of sculpture, painting and drawing. Emerging galleries will again have the opportunity to display their works alongside more established dealers. For this larger second edition, the organisers have focused on enhancing the fair’s cultural events programme. ‘Sculpture Week’, organised in partnership with some of the most important museums in Paris, will see a range of exhibitions focusing on sculpture taking place across these institutions. Most significantly, on 7 November the Petit Palais will inaugurate its new sculpture gallery, which displays around 30 works created during the Third Republic. Also at the Petit Palais, the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Orléans has collaborated with the Musée Girodet to present an exhibition of works by Henri de Triqueti. De Triqueti was an early 19th-century painter who found fame as a sculptor; the exhibition asks how the two disciplines informed one another in his practice. Elsewhere, the public will be granted a rare opportunity to access the COARC (Conservation of Religious and Civil Works of Art), which houses the largest collection of original plasters for public sculptures in France. There is an excellent offering of sculpture at the fair itself, ranging from contemporary works in Carrara marble by Pablo Atchugarry (at Rosenberg & Cie.), to two bronze torches from Charles Le Brun’s Hercules group, brought by Galerie Steinitz, which are related to those commissioned by Louis XIV for the Palace of Versailles. There is a bust of Victor Hugo by Auguste Rodin at Univers du Bronze gallery, while François Pompon’s strangely serene portrait bust of an orang-utan (Fig. 1), at Galerie Malaquais, is not to be missed.
The French capital is in the spotlight this month, with high points including Fine Arts Paris and Paris Photo. Art Basel Miami Beach follows hard on their heels in early December
With the paintings and drawings on show, a number of dealers have elected to shine a light on lesser-known exponents of major art movements. Galerie Fabienne Fiacre presents, among other 19th-century art, a rarely seen set of works by Georges Leroux, while Artur Ramon brings works by the Catalan modernist Ramon Casas. A gestural mountain landscape in oil by Peder Balke, sometimes known as the ‘Scandinavian Turner’, is the highlight at Van der Meij Fine Arts, while Edouard Ambroselli’s stall includes a striking Symbolist design for a poster, advertising the Viennese Secession exhibition of 1902, drawn by Marcus Behmer.
Among the older paintings on show, be sure to catch Louis de Boullogne’s recently rediscovered oil-on-canvas depiction of Pallas and the Arts – a design for the 17th-century Parisian writer Charles Perrault’s cabinet des beaux-arts. Elsewhere in the French capital, Paris Photo returns to the Grand Palais from 8–11 November. The 22nd edition of the leading photography fair brings together 196 exhibitors, including galleries, book dealers and publishers. New to the fair this year is ‘Curiosa’, a curated section. This year, 14 presentations will consider photographic depictions of N OV E M B E R 2 018 A P O L LO

Don’t miss Philip Pocock’s cibachrome photographs of Berlin in the early 1980s, at Inda gallery (Fig. 3), or recent works by Isabel Muñoz on display at Galerie Esther Woerdehoff. Running concurrently with Paris Photo, Also Known As Africa returns with 44 galleries presenting displays that explore the relationship between contemporary arts from the African continent and those of other regions in the southern hemisphere (9–11 November). This year, Cuban artist Susana Pilar presents a specially commissioned, monumental installation in the central aisle of the 19th-century Carreau du Temple. Elsewhere in Europe, Art & Antique Hofburg celebrates its 50th edition (10–18 November); the predominantly Austrian dealers here present everything from antiquities to contemporary art. Look out for the wood and bronze Egyptian Ibis from the 7th century BC, brought by David Aaron, and for works by Hermann Nitsch at Kaiblinger gallery. In Belgium, Antica Namur (10–18 November), hosts 130 galleries, hailing from eight European countries, offering a range of fine and decorative arts. There are 10 newcomers this year, including Famarte, the Belgian specialists in Asian art, and the Swiss gallery First Art, who present an intriguing 17th-century silver pocket watch in the form of a memento 2. ‘Memento mori’ pocket watch, 17th and 18th centuries, silver and brass, ht 9cm.

The Salon Art + Design 2018 Opens This Week By Katy Donoghue
The Salon Art + Design takes place this week, November 8-12, at the Park Avenue Armory in New York. The fair brings together modern and contemporary art and design for a covetable mix of collectibles. Presenting work and objects from the 19th century to today are 56 galleries from 11 countries. In advance of the opening on Thursday evening, Whitewall caught up with director Jill Bokor about what to expect from the 2018 edition.

https://www.whitewall.art/art/salon-art-design-2018-opens-week
WHITEWALL: This is the seventh edition of the fair. What were you looking to focus on this year— creating a more international roster of exhibitors, or a greater dialogue between art and design? JILL BOKOR: I love the question about the dialogue between art and design. Certainly, its been a conversation since the beginning of the fair. More recently , we’re talking about the synergy of the two. As more collectors lean into the totality of art and design it becomes clear that there is more symbiosis than contrast between the two. Certainly, the international piece is high on the list of considerations. There are so so many fairs that I think we all look for a discrete way of standing out from the rest. For The Salon our goal is to show as much work—both vintage and contemporary—as possible in an experiential way. Collectors are more likely to stop in a booth that creates a homelike—albeit a very upscale home—aesthetic. WW: Over half the galleries presenting this year are from outside the US. Can you tell us about some of the exciting new countries that will be represented this year? JB: We’re particularly excited to welcome South Africa’s Southern Guild gallery, our first from Africa. They’ll be bringing work by a range of African artists including this lamp by Adam Hoets and this highly colored narrative rug, Miss Azania in which Athi-Patra Ruga adopts the tropes of myth in response to the postapartheid era. Finally, very excited to see the work of Conrad Hicks, an artist and blacksmith who forges metal into implements. He uses his tools and tool-making process to investigate the artist/human existential relationship with his material environment. Each of these works represents a new way of thinking about design. Norway will also be represented this year with a booth of Nordic furniture and design at Dansk Melbekunst. The gallery specializes in rare, original works of Danish furniture and art created in mid-century from about 1920– 1070. A standout from the booth is a dramatic petalled light designed by Paul Henningsen in 1927. Finally a young Parisian gallery, Movements Moderne, presents a host of contemporary items by both new and known designers. This perfect ceramic sculpture by Matthew Chambers is just one of the items to be seen on their stand.

WW: Who are some of the fair first-timers you’re excited about? JB: From this side of the pond, we’re excited to welcome Glass Past, specialists in highly sought mid-century Murano glass. And even though we have Italy’s finest exhibitor in Italian material we’re also excited that another American specialist, Paul Donzella, will join us this year. Along with other perennial favorites, the booth will include this imposing desk by Gio Ponti WW: Are there any special booth exhibitions or solo presentations to look out for? https://www.whitewall.art/art/salon-art-design-2018-opens-week
JB: For the first time, we’ll have a booth that will exclusively showcase of Frank Lloyd Wright. Bernard Goldberg has painstakingly assembled material from a number of Wright houses and institutions. Garrido gallery exhibits its beautifully crafted pieces of furniture—all angles and metallic shine. WW: For those in town to New York for the fair, are there any exhibitions outside the fair you would recommend visiting? JB: There’s a Warhol moment happening. If you’re still in New York on November 12, The Whitney. They are opening a comprehensive look at the work of the master who, arguably defined art from the mid-20th century forward. At the Met Breuer, there’s an exhibit of the largely unknown sculptures of Jack Whitten alongside his better known entire black Monolith Series dedicated to African American leaders in art and politics. At MOMA the sinuous sculpture of Constantin Brancusi will be exhibited. And at The Museum of The City of New York, the timely exhibition “Rebel Women, Defying Victorianism” is perfectly timed.

The Salon Art + Design Returns to Park Avenue Armory By Staff Writer
The Salon Art + Design Returns to Park Avenue Armory
Considered as New York’s most prestigious art and design fair, The Salon Art + Design returns for its seventh edition. It brings together historical, modern and contemporary furniture, groundbreaking design and late 19th through 21st-century art at Park Avenue Armory. Produced by Sanford Smith + Associates, this year’s edition features 57 galleries representing 11 countries, including 30 international galleries. Almost half of the participating galleries hail from U.S. and the remaining are from Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Monaco, the Netherlands, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. The array of exhibits include classic designs by international 20th century masters, as well as works by contemporary artists, classic and abstract antiquities to Art Nouveau, Deco, Mid Century Modern and the 1970’s, 80’s and 90’s culminating in the latest work of emerging masters. The debut participants include Carolle Thibaut-Pomerantz (France), Chahan Gallery (France), Donzella (U.S.), Galerie de la Beraudiere (Belgium), Galerie Hervouet (France), Glass Past (U.S.), Heller Gallery (U.S.), Mouvements Modernes (France), Phoenix Ancient Art (Switzerland/U.S.), Southern Guild (South Africa), Dansk Mobelkunst (Denmark), and The Future Perfect (U.S.). Executive Director Jill Bokor says: “As The Salon’s success is predicated on the quality of its galleries and the material they exhibit, we are proud to announce this outstanding lineup of exceptional exhibitors.” https://ca.blouinartinfo.com/news/story/3357811/the-salon-art-design-returns-to-park-avenue-armory
“Few fairs today include the range of both fine and decorative arts found at The Salon. Recognizing the desire of collectors and interior designers to create environments rather than simply amass objects, the Salon exhibitors are chosen for their precise and creative way of presenting material that both predicts and reflects trends in the international culture of living. Ultimately, The Salon is curated on the premise that collectors and designers insist on a vibrant, uncommon array of styles, materials, and periods as long as the quality is impeccable,” she adds. “This year The Salon boasts a special installation with Callidus Guild - a New York City-based atelier – joining as the first ever applied arts partner. Helmed by artist Yolande Batteau, the studio will present a sitespecific installation with gallery partner Jeff Lincoln Art + Design. The exhibition will be in Park Avenue Armory's historic Library Room, designed by 19th-century American designer Louis Comfort Tiffany. Additionally, Lalique, the renowned French crystal company, will present new works in a very livable installation in The Parlor. Charles Burnand of London will create an elegant collectors’ lounge featuring mid-century pieces along with their own contemporary design,” a press communique issued by the event’s organizers states. The Salon Art + Design runs from November 8-12, 2018, at Park Avenue Armory 643 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10065

Wendell Castle Furniture Takes Center Stage in Wexler Gallery's Salon Art + Design Booth A cherry-wood dining set is expected to fetch over $300,000 By Mitchell Owens

Wendell Castle, high priest of the American studio craft movement, once wrote: “If you hit the bullseye every time, the target is too near.” That being said, fans of Castle, who died in January at the age of 85, would be hard-pressed to cite any of the master’s creations that weren’t wild successes, particularly the furniture for which he became renowned and was invariably called “biomorphic” by some and “baffling” by others.
https://www.architecturaldigest.com/story/wendell-castle-salon-art-design-wexler-gallery
There were undulating settees hand-carved out of stacked and laminated wood (a Castle leitmotif), a brightly painted chest of drawers that appears to be running across the room on human legs, fiberglass chairs shaped like molars, and a desk with a sharp, whirling silhouette that brings to mind—to my mind, at least—a scythe cutting through a field of wheat in Castle’s native Kansas. If his extravagant, exceptionally plastic designs seemed to be more artful than they were practical, a frequent critical observation, Castle was fine with that, since he approached furniture and lighting, whether made of wood, cement, fiberglass, metal, or stone, with the eye of the artist he had been in his youth. As he explained in a 2012 oral history, “I think the only reason that I could give up sculpture and make furniture is because I thought the vocabulary was the same.”
The table features a fan-shaped inlay. Photo: Courtesy of Wexler Gallery
At The Salon Art + Design, which opens tonight at New York’s Park Avenue Armory and runs through November 12, a group of highly useful but satisfyingly exaggerated Castle furnishings, dating from 1980, are the stars of Philadelphia’s Wexler Gallery booth, A-5. One is an oval double-pedestal dining table topped with inlaid stripes that radiate out from an off-center pivot point like an open fan, and the others are eight matching armchairs that bring to mind Frank Lloyd Wright’s barrel chairs yet are so sinuous and extruded in appearance they might as well be made from pulled taffy rather than cherry wood. The price for the nine pieces, I was told, is “in the upper $300,000s.”

“I would argue that they are some of the most magnificent pieces I’ve had the honor of presenting,” Lewis Wexler, the gallery’s co-owner and a Christie’s alumnus, told me as he was setting up the booth for The Salon’s opening day, adding that this particular set was previously owned by an unnamed Philadelphia collector. “Wendell did variations on these pieces during his career, not a lot, but they are out there—most of them in private hands, so rarely do you ever see them come on the market.” Though Castle’s baroque silhouettes instantly transfix, Wexberg points out that the designer, who lived in and worked in Scottsville, New York, was a genius when it came to incorporating intimate, amusing details. “The ebony pivot point, the double pedestals of stacked and laminated wood that are carved like tree trunks, the elongated triangles that fan out across the tabletop,” he enthuses. “The materials, wood and leather, are warm and inviting, and the scale is wonderful, too. Combine all those things and the set is really a masterpiece.”

Panoramic Wall Coverings from Paris Delight and Transport at The Salon Art + Design Dealer Carolle Thibaut-Pomerantz puts forth historic papiers peints at the collector's show By Mitchell Owens

When scenic panoramic wallpapers come to mind, a certain decor tends to furnish the reverie: 18th - or 19th-century chairs, either French or English, pulled up to a runway of polished mahogany that is laden with silver candelabra, serious porcelain, and starched napery. Banish that fancy fantasy, because Carolle Thibaut-Pomerantz, a Paris dealer and expert in historic papiers peints—literally, painted papers—is presenting her field’s most important scenic panoramic in a thought-provoking juxtaposition with another gallerist’s complementary wares at this year’s Salon Art + Design, a collectors’ fair that opens the public today and closes on November 12. Thibaut-Pomerantz's star of the booth is an indescribably choice offering—a pristine full set of "Les Voyages des Capitaine Cook," aka "Les Sauvages de la Mer Pacifique," the very first scenic panoramic ever produced, in 1804, by Joseph Dufour, the pioneering French manufacturer. Scenic panoramics tell room-wrapping tales rather than merely offering a repeating pattern, this one being Dufour artist JeanGabriel Charvet’s 20-panel amalgam of English explorer Captain James Cook’s three journeys to North America and the South Pacific from 1768 to 1779, epic feats that still boggled minds in the early 19th century and surely provided grist for spirited conversations. Thibaut-Pomerantz’s price for the Dufour chef d’oeuvre is a surprisingly reasonable $185,000—and it’s mounted so that it can be easily installed and then, if necessary, removed.

https://www.architecturaldigest.com/story/panoramic-wall-coverings-from-paris-delight-and-transport-at-the-salon-artdesign
“Dufour believed that such decors could be educational instruments for learning about history, geography, flora, fauna, and native cultures,” she explains. Though they were designed as a seamless, wraparound landscape, the panels actually record multiple moments in Cook’s meteoric maritime career, from his 1768 visit to Vancouver Island to a trip to the Sandwich Islands in 1779, where he was clubbed and then stabbed to death—as "Les Voyages des Capitaine Cook" candidly illustrates in one distant scene—the day after he attempted to kidnap Kalaniʻōpuʻu-a-Kaiamamao, monarch of what is now Hawaii’s Big Island. Given that 2018 is the 250th anniversary of Cook’s inaugural journey (1768 –1771), his seafaring exploits are being memorialized at venues around the world, such as the current exhibition “Oceania” at London’s Royal Academy of Art. For other anniversary celebrations, now and in the future, see the website of the Captain Cook Society. Thanks to Thibaut-Pomerantz’s conviction that historic papers can and should be exhibited in urgent, relevant, and challenging installations that shake off the dust of the centuries and open n ew eyes, she invited Charles-Wesley Hourdé, a Paris dealer in tribal art from Oceania, Africa, and the Americas, to join her in Booth D-21. Thus, some two dozen antique objects similar to those that Cook and his crews would have come across as they sailed the seven seas are on display while their exploits, artfully rendered in meticulous block printing, provide an atmospheric setting. Hourdé highlights are a Kanak figure from New Caledonia (Cook went there in September 1774), cannibal forks from Fiji (Cook landed there on the same 1774 trip), and a stone poi pounder from the Sandwich Islands (where Cook met his demise).
"Les Voyages des Capitaine Cook" is on view at Booth D-21 at The Salon Art + Design.

“Dufour’s tribute to Cook started the vogue for scenics,” Thibaut-Pomerantz explains, noting that when the series was introduced to the public at the fourth Exposition des Produits de l’Industries Française in 1806, it galvanized the bon ton, even though its depictions were imprecise and its chronology was telescoped. The indigenous characters had been classicized for romantic effect, and the narrative was edited in order to fit multiple cultures into a unifying tropical landscape. “This decoration has been designed with the object of showing to the public the peoples encountered by the most recent explorers,” Dufour wrote, “and of using new comparisons to reveal the natural bonds of taste and enjoyment that exist between all men, whether they live in a state of civilization or are at the outset of the use of their natural intelligence.” Plus, he added, the panels could be simply enjoyed as a delightful diversion intended “to please the eye and to excite the imagination without taxing it.” After the Cook series was released to rapturous acclaim, scenic panoramics became swiftly fashionable, whatever the subject, whether the landmarks of Istanbul or a make-believe landscape crowded with follies and monuments that were reproduced from engravings of French gardens. “Only the French ma de these,” Thibaut-Pomerantz continues, “and they were exported all over the world.” A handful of complete Cook sets survive, including those at the Honolulu Museum of Art, the National Gallery of Australia,, and the Asa Stebbins House at Historic Deerfield, as well as L. M. Engströms Gymnasium, a preparatory school in Gothenburg, Sweden. Not all are in perfect condition. The one that Thibaut -Pomerantz is showing at the Salon fair, she says, is in “a beautiful state of freshness, complete, and of excellent provenance.” It came from the private collection of Paris’s Carlhian family, eminent interior designers (and, notably, purveyors of scenic panoramics) from 1867 until 1975. Joined by Hourdé’s offerings, Thibaut-Pomerantz’s Dufour rarity affords Salon visitors a startling moment of time travel, balanced between the past and the present. One can bask in Booth D -21’s woodblocked French and hand-carved Oceanic attractions while also, inevitably, pondering the invasions, exploitations, and culture clashes to which Cook’s celebrated voyages opened a door. Dufour would surely be cock-a-hoop that, with a bit of inspired teamwork, what he wrought back in the early 1800s retains the power to stimulate, as well as transport.

The Salon Art+Design New York Is Here To Shake Things Up By Staff Writer New York is having is having two design events underway, or about to kick off. We already covered BDNY, today, we are going to cover Salon Art+Design New York. A design fair that focuses on both, the Art world and the Design world and blends both of them, creating a remarkable and glamorous experience that you should definitely check out.
Now in its seventh year, The Salon Art + Design New York (8-12 November) is bringing an enticing mix of historic and contemporary furniture, art and decorative pieces back to the Park Avenue Armory this weekend.
https://www.delightfull.eu/inspirations/interiors-decor/salon-artdesign-shake-things/
With over 11 countries contributing with pieces that range from various styles and categories, Salon Art+Design New York is the hub for various artists to express themselves and have their pieces be showcased to the rest of the world.
Yolande Milan Batteau is a prime example of how Salon Art+Design New York is the perfect stage for a lot of artists to flourish and express themselves. She has produced work for Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Dior, amongst others. Batteau’s work is the reflection of her constant travels throughout the world, experience and learning different cultures and styles. Her pieces are the reflection of that assimilation.
https://www.delightfull.eu/inspirations/interiors-decor/salon-artdesign-shake-things/
At this year’s Salon Art+Design New York, Callidus Guild will be working alongside Yolande Batteau and will create an art piece that will blend the luxurious style of Callidus with the naturalistic style of Batteau. The installation will be exhibited in the Historic Library Room at The Armoryand is made up of a series of stone columns built into towering monoliths which are covered in metals, stones and natural materials that compose this piece of art.

A World of Creativity at New York’s Salon Art + Design 2018 In the historic rooms of the Park Avenue Armory, The Salon Art + Design 2018 showcases an array of works that invite visitors to discover something unique By Lara Chapman In the iconic Park Avenue Armory – a quasi-palace and quasi-industrial shed – 56 galleries representing 30 countries display their artworks at the 7th edition of The Salon Art + Design. The fair, produced by Sanford Smith + Associates, creates a vibrant picture of the creative industries by bringing together works that range from classic and abstract antiquities to Art Nouveau, Deco, Mid Century Modern and the 1970’s, 80’s and 90’s and culminates with the latest work of emerging practitioners. In curating this dynamic selection Jill Bokor, the Executive Director of The Salon Art + Design says “We’re very keen to create a mix of galleries in terms of work shown, looking for as little duplication as possible, we also show a wide range of locations of exhibitors that represent a wide sweep of periods.” At this year’s Salon, there is also the special addition of a site-specific installation by Callidus Guild, an art for architecture studio. The installation will be exhibited in the Historic Library Room at The Armory and is made up of a series of stone columns built into towering monoliths which are encrusted and embellished in metals, stone and tooled marble dust. Yolande Batteau, artist and Creative Director of Callidus Guild, tells us that her material choice for this installation was based on her “continuing investigation of historical materials and innovative methods for making surfaces and art for architecture.” She describes the process of creating the piece which revolved around “the challenges of implementing some of my artwork into a larger scale which included figuring out what materials could replace a plaster of Paris cast into in a monumental wall.” However, these challenges eventually led Batteau “to discover and play with many new, catalyzing materials that achieved wildly unexpected results.” Newcomers showing at this years Salon include: Carolle Thibaut-Pomerantz (France), Chahan Gallery (France), Donzella (U.S.), Galerie de la Béraudiére (Belgium), Galerie Hervout (France), Glass Past (U.S.), Heller Gallery (U.S.), Mouvements Moderns (France), Phoenix Ancient Art (Switzerland/U.S.), Southern Guild (South Africa), Dansk Mobelkunst (Denmark) and The Future Perfect (U.S.). https://tlmagazine.com/salon-art-design-2018/
Jill Bokor tells TLmag that she hopes that visitors to this years Salon will discover “new possibilities of how materials are changing and how unexpected pieces can work together.” The Salon Art + Design will be on display from November 8 – 12

ammann//gallery Collection at The Salon Art + Design 2018, New York By Staff Writer
ammann//gallery Collection at The Salon Art + Design 2018, New York
ammann//gallery has announced its fifth participation at the New York’s The Salon Art + Design 2018. The gallery will showcase works from its exceptional program featuring Ron Arad, Helene Binet, Studio Nucleo, Satyendra Pakhale, Rolf Sachs, Joel Escalona and Abel Zavala. The work of Studio Nucleo lives in the intersection between art and design, function and sculpture. Its series “Souvenirs from the Last Century” and “Wood Fossils” upcycle physical memories into new forms, reclaiming discarded wooden materials from different eras and fossilizing them with a transparent body of resin. The furniture is both ancient and contemporary, revived and restored into a new life. At The Salon, the studio is showcasing unique pieces from some of its iconic collections. The “ONYX” stools are the new iteration of the showstoppers “Stone Fossils.” New “Presenze sculptural glass vases” are decorative ethereal objects floating through space, playing with the concepts of presence and absence, lightness and weight, challenging the laws of gravity. Nucleo’s more recent sculptural and artistic body of work, “Boolean Dog Head,” is being exhibited for the first time in the United States. The series explores the concept and use of boolean data, computer-aided design operations of subtraction, intersection, and union in the creation and construction of classical sculptures. https://www.blouinartinfo.com/news/story/3359528/ammanngallery-collection-at-the-salon-art-design-2018-new
“ammann//gallery explores the intersection between art and architecture through the masterful photographs of Helene Binet, recipient of the prestigious Julius Shulman Award, who transforms complex architectural masterpieces into breathtaking photographic compositions made of light and shadow,” states the gallery press release. The gallery is exhibiting for the first time in New York an homage to the urban photographies of American photographer Berenice Abbott. “Designer Satyendra Pakhale skillfully evolved a humanistic design language by blending ancient materials and techniques from his native India with state-of-the-art technology. His acclaimed Bell Metal Collection, made of bronze, metal sheet and copper alloy, reflects on the impact of technology on the artisan process. Produced using lost wax methods and metal casting, old and new materials and technology are mixed to create furniture and decorative pieces that appeal to all the senses and evoke history,” the gallery adds. Conceptual artist Rolf Sachs is showcasing “The Camera in Motion” series that showcase his experience of traveling on the Bernina Express through the Swiss Alps, a journey deeply engraved on the artist’s life. According to the gallery, Mexican ceramist Abel Zavala’s sculptural work is inspired by living fossils, organisms that have been present on earth for millions of years that are both witnesses and intrinsic components of the evolution of life. His “Larvae porcelain wall sculptures” showcase the artist flawless technique and mastery of the material. The gallery also premieres in the United States the new Balance ceramic collection by Mexican designer Joel Escalona, sculptural table pieces challenging the laws of equilibrium. ammann//gallery is showcasing through November 12, 2018 at Booth A8, The Salon Art + Design 2018, Park Avenue Armory, New York, USA.

Designers Share Their Picks from Salon Art + Design Here's what not to miss—according to designers By Hadley Keller and Katherine Olson

Each November, The Salon Art + Design brings some 50 top-tier galleries to New York's Park Avenue Armory, filling the Gothic Revival building with treasures ranging in style from Deco to Nouveau to Modern. At the fair's opening night last evening, bold-faced designers and aficionados alike could be spotted sipping Champagne and perusing the offerings. Besides being a celebrity favorite, though, the fair is a must -see for designers, with many of our top creative talents making the pilgrimage to the Armory to shop for clients, or just find inspiration. This year, AD PRO asked some of our designer friends—many who browsed the fair early at opening night and enjoyed a special designer breakfast hosted by InCollect—for their favorite pieces. Click through to see what they've spotted. And, if you're feeling inspired, visit Salon yourself through Monday; you can purchase tickets here.

"I am so tired of the hanging chair, but not this one: Specimen by Porky Hefer is part of his Nests series. Enter a new lush world, making furniture completely experiential—next level," shares designer Fawn Galli of Porky Hefer's Mask II. Comprised of Koobook cane, steel, and leather, the piece is at the Southern Guild Gallery booth.

"I'm a firm believer that slow design is the haute couture of the home and shelter industry. Sarah Myerscough Gallery highlights the use of organic materials, but more importantly the appreciation for imperfections made by a soft, supple hand," shares designer Cynthia Spence, calling out the Joseph Walsh credenza. https://www.architecturaldigest.com/gallery/designers-share-their-picks-from-salon-art-design/all

"I loved this year's show," says designer and blogger Rio Hamilton. "This twister cool copper bench at David Gill was stunning." The piece is by Sebastian Brajkovic.

The German Ammann Gallery returned for its fifth year with works from Ron Arad, Hélène Binet, Studio Nucleo, Satyendra Pakhalé, Rolf Sachs, Abel Zavala, and Joel Escalona. Designer Christine Roughan shares, "The Lapislazuli Stone fossil put me in a state of hypnosis. Extraordinarily beautiful with the most extensive monochromatic royal blue hues. I wanted to walk away with this sculptural stool."

"Much of our affinity for design begins with our love of art. Without a doubt, when art is placed in a room, we allow that to dictate the visual display of furniture and the color choice we make around it," share designers Michael Mitchell and Tyler Hill. "Todd Merrill Studio marries the idea of art and design with their unique conversation pieces, sure to make chic statements wherever placed! Love the Alex Ruskin Tusk chairs."

"I was delighted to see Merete Rasmussen's work at the J. Lohmann Gallery booth," says Courtney McLeod of Right Meets Left Interior Design. "I just loved this piece, titled 'Fluent', 2018. Her ceramics are such a pure expression of color and form." https://www.architecturaldigest.com/gallery/designers-share-their-picks-from-salon-art-design/all

"The Waves Fireplace at Garrido Gallery from Madrid was a real showstopper," shares designer Ellie Cullman. "A limited edition of six pieces, the piece is fashioned from metal and plated in 24-karat gold! Juan and Paloma Garrido are the sculptors of the piece as well as the gallery owners. They are secondgeneration silversmiths, and their furniture is made with the same exquisite technique that you find in silver and jewelry."

Chahan Gallery
Of the Jean-Charles Moreux six-column travertine dining table, 1930, at Chahan Gallery, designer Josh Greene tells AD PRO: “Amongst all the incredible pieces, I found myself attracted to this simple stone table from Chahan Gallery. The perfect proportions are enhanced by a chamfered edge and legs that are more delicate that what you would expect from a solid stone table. It could be used in any sort of project—a true chameleon—which is why this piece stole the show for me, because if a client purchased it, they would have it for life. And, for me, that’s the point of beautiful furniture.”

Designer Alan Tanksley tells AD PRO that one of his fair finds became his own—sort of. "The piece that really resonated with me the most was a bronze sculpture from Jeff Lincoln Gallery by Alex Hagentorn, and we are pleased to share we purchased [it] for our client."
Courtesy of Emily Summers
"I love the high-contrast, tactile surfaces and mix of material in this Lucio Fontana from 1956," says designer Emily Summers of one of Lucio Fontana’s works, shown at dealer Mazzoleni Art. "A rare find. So elegant! A fusion of sculpture and painting."

15 Things to Find at The Salon Art + Design By Jessica Helen Weinberg There is an unmistakable buzz that begins to ripple through the city once dawn sets over the Park Avenue Armory, hours before the opening of The Salon Art + Design show.

Salon Art + Design, a Fair With Wit, Cheek, History By Joseph Giovannini

The Museum of Modern Art’s Department of Architecture and Design has given the lasting impression that the Bauhaus, with its skeletal steel chairs and practical teakettles, owned Modernism for much of the last century. But 56 well-stocked booths at the Salon Art + Design fair at the Park Avenue Armory, which opened Thursday and runs through Monday, offer an alternative story. Consider the evidence: a fluffy armchair upholstered with white tails of mohair from Rome’s Giustini/Stagetti gallery; a bronze bench sculpted as a grinning lynx from Philadelphia’s Wexler Gallery; two concave dish mirrors shaped like a pair of gigantic contact lenses, hanging at the Maison Rapin. And then at Adrian Sassoon, there’s a thick, erect, 7-foot-high, ceramic vase shaped like a column and painted with fig leaves. It’s enough to make any man jealous. You smile your way through the fair. There’s wit, spirit and cheek. The sass of a slipper chair by the Indian designer Satyendra Pakhalé inAmmann gallery in Cologne leads with a pair of breasts, like an ancient Greek sphinx, and it’s just as insolent today as it was when designed over a decade ago.

In this year’s Salon, instead of Bauhaus ideology delivered with strict Euclidean geometry, there’s a high delight quotient. This branch of bespoke modernism played out in ateliers rather than in factories: Artists produced limited art editions rather than toasters and coffee pots stamped out by the thousands. The artists didn’t heed rules of industrial efficiency. They gorged on their imagination, and sometimes on their libido. Don’t expect Ikea prices, of course. But compared with the sticker shock of serious art these days, modern and contemporary designs are accessible collectibles. And, in an era of digital living, twisting Mobius-strip chairs and kidney-shaped coffee tables seem more relevant than veneered antiques. Somehow, Federico Munari’s boomerang couch, circa 1950, at the Maison Rapin works better than Biedermeier when streaming Hannah Gadsby or “Game of Thrones.” But the show does not tell its Modernism story in a straight line, and it doesn’t even start with Modernism. In New York’s Phoenix Ancient Art gallery, the abstract, smoothly contoured marble Neolithic mother goddess is as modern and abstract as a Brancusi, and the bronze, fourth century B.C. Greek warrior’s helmet, designed to deflect the slings and arrows of battle, already embodies Modernism’s maxim, form follows function (otherwise you’re dead).

Some galleries root Modernism in well-known American and European classics. The New York-based Bernard Goldberg Fine Artsexhibits oak chairs by Frank Lloyd Wright, each a small piece of architecture, and in the booth directly opposite, Yves Macaux shows Wright’s Austrian contemporaries. Cabinets, chairs and lamps by the architects Otto Wagner, Josef Hoffmann and Adolf Loos are arranged with drawings by Gustav Klimt and Egon Schiele, to suggest a room of the period. Though many exhibitors hail from the United States, most are European, and British, French, Danish and Italian galleries came with evidence of their own local modernism. Galleria Rossella Colombari in Milan exhibited a spectacular double wooden desk of cascading shelves attributed to the Venetian architect Carlo Scarpa, and another Milanese gallery, Nilufar, brought rare leather stools, almost like campaign chairs, designed in the 1930s by the father of modern Italian design, Gio Ponti.

Surrealism influenced many pieces, whether it was the grandfather clock tied up in a knot by the British sculptor Alex Chinneck, or a bronze bench dripping dew drops by Reinier Bosch in the Priveekollektie stall. Of course there were classics in crafted wood, like a monumental George Nakashima table and bed at Philadelphia’s Moderne Gallery, and across the aisle, Danish modern design at Copenhagen’s principal design gallery, Dansk Mobelkunst. A 1935 table by Mogens Koch exemplified Denmark’s tradition of nononsense simplicity, and it stood next to an updated take on Danish modernism, a crisply cut Minimalist table by the London designer Michael Anastassiades.

By contrast, in the Sarah Myerscough Gallery, British artists with a rarefied sensibility using exotic techniques reinterpreted woods that craftsmen have worked for centuries. Eleanor Lakelin bleached, sandblasted and hand-turned horse chestnut burr into amphoras that reveal the fibrous chaos beneath its bark. But no show of modernism today would be contemporary without the handiwork of the computer. In Galerie Maria Wettergren, a Danish-born, London-based designer Mathias Bengtsson created a protoplasmic maple tabletop set on skeletal legs that grew organically from a natural algorithm that he scripted into software. Another piece, the undulating “L’Infini Chair ” in Galerie BSL, looks digital, but a Canadian visual artist, Gildas Berthelot, actually carved the curvilinear lounge chair out of bleached maple. Sitting on “L’Infini” delivers the thrill of surfing a lunging wave. Most galleries built environments so that their objects could be understood as livable pieces in an immersive homelike setting, but some installations took the idea well beyond domestic comfort. Cape Town’s Southern Guild showed artists rooted in South African culture. The improbably named Porky Hefer, a former ad man, created a suspended nest made of natural grasses and cane into which a person could retreat for a little solitude. Rich Mnisi designed a sprawling leather chaise (Nwa-Mulamula) comfortable enough for several people. He shaped an accompanying side table as an eye that hovers over a pool of tears to honor his greatgrandmother and generations of black women who shed their tears of work and sorrow across generations.

Perhaps the most off-the-grid installation was the Todd Merrill booth, a Hollywood fantasia: chromed branches of a chandelier floated over demi-settees and a tufted sofa, arranged symmetrically as in a Busby Berkeley musical. The gallery pushed good taste to an intriguing decadence definitely outside the Bauhaus canon. It was one extreme of modernism in a salon curated to show that there have been — and are — many. The Armory is a very big room. The Salon proved to be a very big tent. The Salon Art + Design Through Nov. 12 at the Park Avenue Armory, Manhattan; thesalonny.com. Tickets: $30 adults/$10 students.

Bridget Foley’s Diary: Salon Style At-home chic is about more than the perfect pajamas. The Salon: Art + Design, in New York this weekend, highlights modern and contemporary design. By Bridget Foley

It seems there’s barely a topic in American life that can’t wend in short order toward Donald Trump. But the presence of glass exhibitors at The Salon: Art + Design, which opened Thursday night at the Park Avenue Armory? Yes, even that. Jill Bokor is the executive director of the show, which typically opens on the Thursday after Election Day. (Thursday’s opening benefited the Dia Art Foundation.) Over a recent coffee at the Americano, Bokor recounted what she calls “the misery of two years ago,” when the shock of Trump’s presidential win was still very new and, for many, very raw. On that opening evening, attendees found their focus diverted from shopping. “They wanted to look, they wanted to see each other and they wanted to sob,” Bokor recalled, though she added a quick inclusivity caveat: “I mean, there were probably people there who’d voted for Trump.” https://wwd.com/fashion-news/fashion-features/bridget-foleys-diary-salon-style-1202902433/
The following Saturday, typically the event’s biggest day, traffic woes generated by anti-Trump demonstrations caused a dip in show traffic, which caused a dip in sales, and crappy sales led some vendors to drop out. That left Bokor challenged “to make lemonade out of lemons.” Or at least to procure highfalutin vessels for lemonade, because at that point, the show was lacking in impressive glassware, and she sought out that category to fill the vacancies. So in a way, anyone smitten by the midcentury Italian glass at Glass Past or contemporary pieces at Heller Gallery has Trump to thank. Achieving a compelling exhibitor mix is essential to a successful show. While proud that 21 vendors have stayed with the event since its inception, Bokor noted that healthy movement around that core makes for an interesting, ever-evolving event. Once all gallerists are confirmed, she arranges the floor plan to afford each maximum impact, a task she considers one of the most difficult aspects of staging a show of this scale. To illustrate, she ran through the order of a few stations: Enter and turn right to come upon antiquities next to Seventies-and-Eighties French next to contemporary German, and across from French ceramics. “There is such great stuff. It can only be freshly seen if what’s next to it makes them look differently,” she said. In addition to the basic gallery set-ups, this year’s event features numerous special installations, and they swing diverse, including one by interior designer Ryan Korban in collaboration with Lalique crystal and another by Eileen Fisher, taking her message of sustainability to the Salon with a collection of wall hangings made from recycled textiles.

The show’s 57 gallerists (in 55 booths) hail from 11 countries and specialize mostly in work from 1900 on. Among the few golden oldies: antiquities galleries Ariadne Galleries and Phoenix Ancient Art, the inclusion of which Bokor deems essential. “I have such strong feelings that everything that has come since begins with ancient art, that we have two ancient art galleries in the fair. And they do very well there,” she said. Still, the primary thrust is modern and contemporary, which makes for a very different scenario than in the late Eighties, when Bokor was publisher and editorial director of Art + Auction magazine, a time when major antiques were all the rage. “We saw people amassing the most extraordinary collections of Louis Quinze, of 18th-century French paintings, of Old Master paintings, of silver. They collected deeply. It was not unusual to walk into a house that was entirely Arts & Crafts. And these people who collected really and rightfully had enormous pride in what they were doing.”
https://wwd.com/fashion-news/fashion-features/bridget-foleys-diary-salon-style-1202902433/
Given the long-running obsession with 20th and 21st-century everything, it’s clear that focus changes, as tastes do. Yet Bokor attributes the shift to more than a zeitgeist-y evolution of aesthetic preferences. True, the sophisticated collector’s eye shifted its communal gaze, from fusty-musty toward newer and often, more avant-garde. But it got encouragement from that omni-powerful overseer of discretionary spending: money. “I tie all of this to the world of economics,” Bokor said, noting that the “financial mini-crisis” of the late Eighties, though not as disastrous as 2008, resonated significantly. If it didn’t formally sound the death knell for Nouvelle Society (a term coined by WWD’s late editorial director John B. Fairchild), it certainly symbolized that era’s waning. Enough for suddenly downgraded 1-percenters to reevaluate all of their assets. “People who thought they wouldn’t part with things found that they could,” Bokor noted.

Yet once they’d unloaded the Old Masters, they weren’t ready to live like monks, and began turning their “extraordinary taste and eyes” toward new periods and ways of collecting. For example, an item such as Shiro Kuramata’s now-iconic acrylic chair embedded with red roses might have replaced a Louiswhatever treasure. Another Kuramata chair, sans flowers, is featured in the Salon’s Callidus Guild installation. Along the way, the psychology of collecting evolved as well, and with it, the ways in which people integrate design into their lives. Today’s collectors tend to be more open to suggestion and eclectic in their tastes; they acquire “more horizontally and less deeply,” allowing them to integrate collecting into their lives in a more relaxed, comfortable way.

Then there’s the impact of technology. Given the show’s contemporary current, one might expect to find overt instances of tech-driven design. Bokor name-checked some younger designers, including Misha Kahn and Jonathan Trayte, whose work has “what would be fun to call a new industrial feel,” though she’s unsure if gallerists would agree with that characterization. As for pieces created using 3-D printing, she said there’s still relatively little at this level of the design world, though she expects swift changes will come.

But she identified the impact of technology elsewhere. One significant piece that was supposed to be at the show sold early, via Instagram. Bigger picture, the Salon addresses how people live at home, which is changing. Just like in the Fifties (but not like the Fifties at all) television plays a major part. “Entertainment is so accessible at home now. That’s probably the major factor,” Bokor said. As television’s current golden age has muscled in on movie-going, people spend more time at home. At the same time, there’s been an uptick in at-home entertaining. And the more time people spend at home, the more important home design becomes. The Salon is decidedly high-end, featuring the work of major design- and art-world names such as Calder and Fontana. While the Wendell Castle dining table and chairs at Wexler Gallery “would have been extraordinary in any circumstance,” his death in January has likely heightened the interest, and Bokor predicts an early sale.

Given such attractions, the show draws a mostly tony, serious crowd, including designers shopping for and with increasingly hands-on clients who peruse pieces that in a rare case might top seven figures. Yet Bokor stressed that it is not a rich-people-only affair, and she is focused on attracting a younger audience. “One of the myths about [design] fairs that we need to deconstruct is that there is nothing affordable,” she said. Aspiring collectors who may be priced out of furniture might find a decorative piece of glass or ceramic, and that first purchase can trigger lifelong curiosity and desire. “They start to think about things, and maybe the next year, they come back and they say, ‘My goal is to have a piece of the Haas Brothers. I love Brazilian rosewood, that’s what I want.’ So the idea, the seed of a collection, is formed,” Bokor said. She mused, too, that as Millennials buy first homes, they start to think about design differently, often taking an approach that we in fashion talk about all the time — high-low, perhaps putting a piece of midcentury glass on a table from Ikea. At the same time, even the most traditional shoppers (read: the highly knowledgeable, really rich ones) want to be charmed. As Bokor put it, “The best collectors — even if their collections look a little serious — know how to do something that makes your eyes twinkle.”

Twenty First Art Gallery’s at Salon Art + Design 2018 By Ines Milhazes This year the Twenty First Art Gallery presents Golden Eye, a creation of contemporary works spotlighting the power of gold and the luxury it brings to any piece.
https://iloboyou.com/gallery-art-gallerys-salon-art-design-2018/
The Salon Art + Design happened between the days 8 and 12 of November in New York City, and it is known to be the most versatile design event, that combines styles, genres and periods. The Twenty First Gallery was located in Booth D13, and 2018 marks the year that this gallery was invited for the second time to participate in this event that honors design in the most creative way.

The Salon Art + Design Preview Attracts high-End Collectors, Benefits Dia By Bettina Zilkha
Lady Liliana Cavendish, Cyril Karaoglan
The Salon Art + Design held its opening preview on Thursday at the Park Avenue Armory. Hosted by Nathalie and Laura de Gunzburg to benefit the Dia Art Foundation, the preview attracted designers, collectors and art and design world influencers hoping to find the best of 20th and 21st Century design. "Dia is an unsual institution," said Dia Art Foundation Director Jessica Morgan. "We have a very strong aesthetic. We have eleven sites; some of them are installations devoted to land art, in the American West. We generally use industrial buildings which have been beautifully converted into art spaces. Another characteristic is natural light: The spaces that are open have a simplicity to them." "Design is at the heart of our ethos; even though we're not necessarily showing design objects, there is a sensibility that's a perfect fit for people who are thinking about their aesthetic surrounding and their environment," Morgan continued. "There is an awareness that the space that they're in is quintessentially Dia quality. This fair is truly outstanding in terms of its quality. There is a lot of work from the period that we concentrate on, the '60's and '70's. A lot of younger, contemporary designers here have been influenced by that period."

Lalique's booth, with walls covered in white roses from top to bottom, greeted visitors as they arrived, the intoxicating scent motivating one to linger in front of the brand's mirrors and crystal birds. Designers, including Alex Papachristidis, David Netto, Daniel Romualdez, Richard Mishaan and David Kleinberg had more pressing business, and were thrilled to get an early start - no time, even, for a glass of Ruinart champagne. "I love this fair," said Liz O'Brien, who exhibited at The Salon Art + Design last year. "I love the quality of the dealers and the mix of work on display. There are exciting contemporary things, and really high-end 20th Century design." O'Brien was showing a William J. Quigley pivoting coffee table commissioned by Samuel Marks from around 1940. Made of wood, the bottom part of the table is shaped like a propeller, and the top is circular glass. Across the aisle from O'Brien, Maison Gerard was showing an exciting mix of mid-century furniture with contemporary pieces. "This is the one show where you can highlight contemporary and late 20th Century design, which is a specialty of the gallery," said Public Relations Director Stacy McLaughlin. "We work with a lot of contemporary artists from all over the world, and we get to exhibit their work with mid-century furniture. We have a Ruhlmann sofa and a settee mixed with a contemporary table by Stacklab, an artist out of Canada." Always the perfect hostess, Dia Art Foundation Chairman of the Board Nathalie de Gunzburg greeted collectors and design fans alike, including Carol Mack, Beth Rudin DeWoody, Linda Fargo, Cyril Karaoglan, and Lizzie Tisch, while stopping to have a chat in French with Aline Chastel, of Paris' Galerie Chastel Marechal, who has been exhibiting at the fair since its inception. "At the beginning I participated in the fair to see my most important clients in New York," said Chastel. "Each year it's been a big success. This year I'm showing Art Deco pieces by Eugene Prince from the 1930's. They have been in the same family, in the same collection, since the 1930's. We have all the documents to prove the provenance. This is their first time on the market." The Salon Art + Design will be on view through November 12th.

Priveekollektie Contemporary Art | Design Collection at The Salon Art + Design 2018 By Staff Writer
Priveekollektie Contemporary Art | Design Collection at The Salon Art + Design 2018
Priveekollektie Contemporary Art | Design is participating for the fifth time at Salon NY 2018, which takes place at Park Avenue Armory through November 12. The participating artists include: Dominic Harris, Richard Hutten, Reinier Bosch, Kranen / Gille, Salustiano, Alex Chinneck, Carolina Wilcke, Vincenzo Marciglia, Peter Macapia, and Barberini & Gunnell. Dominic Harris is an artist who uses technology to construct highly personal interpretations of the natural phenomena which surround us. Carolina Wilcke (1980 Leiden, The Netherlands) is fascinated by the interface between function and decoration. Art is functional, it can make you happy, or serve as a decor for a room. On the other hand, appliances and utensils can also be used as art. In “Tafelgenoten,” a series of tableware, these two qualities come together and complement each other. Since opening his own studio in Rotterdam in 1991, designer Richard Hutten has paid strict heed to his own rule: “No sign of design.” His furniture and objects — many of them multi-functional — are typically monochromatic and elegant in geometry: an office set in which the chair is cut from the desk, or a child’s drinking cup with comically oversized handles that resemble “Dumbo” ears.
https://www.blouinartinfo.com/news/story/3361543/priveekollektie-contemporary-art-design-collection-at-the
Peter Macapia is an artist, architect and scholar. He is the founder of labDORA, an internationally recognized architectural research and design studio, and Peter Macapia Studio. Both of which he started after he earned his Ph.D. from Columbia University where he was awarded the Presidential Fellowship. Reinier Bosch incorporates a broad swath of materials and influences in his objects, which playfully and honestly engage the materials and their many associations and forms. Common items in his work include cardboard, glass, Plexiglas, and sheet metal, which was one of the first materials that inspired him while spending time at his father’s boatyard. Kranen / Gille are inspired by abandoned places, industrialization, factory and craftsmanship processes that are constantly renewing themselves in order to express their feeling towards functionality. Uniting the disciplines of art, architecture, theater and engineering, the work of British sculpture Alex Chinneck is monumental in ambition and impact, producing contextually responsive interventions that animate the place in which they stand. The architectural designer duo Barberini & Gunnel consists of Italian Francesco Barberini (Cesena, 1978) and half-Austrian, half-English Nina Alexandra Gunnell (Marbella, 1976). The Salon Art + Design welcomes the world’s finest international galleries exhibiting historical, modern and contemporary furniture, groundbreaking design and late 19th through 21st century art. Visitors will find classic designs by the great international 20th century masters, as well as creative works by today’s most innovative young artists. From classic and abstract antiquities to Art Nouveau, Deco, Mid Century Modern and the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s, culminating in the latest work of emerging masters, The Salon showcases global material for every taste. Priveekollektie Contemporary Art | Design is showcasing through November 12, 2018 at Booth A22, The Salon Art + Design 2018, Park Avenue Armory, New York, USA.

Twenty First Gallery's "Golden Eye" at The Salon Art + Design 2018, New York By Staff Writer
"Maxou," 2018, by Hubert Le Gall, 37 2/5 x 23 3/5 28 4/5 in; 95 59.9 x 73.2 cm, Edition of 30, Copyright: Hubert Le Gall, Twenty First Gallery (Courtesy: Artist & Twenty First Gallery) Twenty First Gallery is featuring “Golden Eye,” a curation of contemporary works spotlighting the power of gold at The Salon Art + Design, Booth D13, through November 12, 2018, in New York City. This marks the second time Twenty First Gallery has been invited to showcase their works at the event that features the world's finest international galleries exhibiting historical, modern and contemporary furniture, groundbreaking design and late 19th through 21st century art. The selection of European contemporary decorative arts will include works by designers such as Mattia Bonetti, Hubert Le Gall, Emmanuel Babled, Maurice Marty and Erwan Boulloud. According to the gallery, the life of Mattia Bonetti stands as a testament to the vast creative potential of ambiguity, uncertainty, paradox, and duality – and absolute refusal to be one thing when it is possible to embody a multitude of possibilities simultaneously.
https://www.blouinartinfo.com/news/story/3361498/twenty-first-gallerys-golden-eye-at-the-salon-art-design-2018
His work exemplifies a certain strand of postmodernism that is both practical and theoretical; it embodies a philosophy of instability and witty subterfuge – a celebration of the principal of both/and rather than either/or and the quality in which everything, even identity, stays fluid. “Hubert Le Gall's work is a bold combination of sophisticated and playful. Inspired by the likes of Salvador Dali, Jean Cocteau, the Surrealists and Max Ernst, Le Gall introduces humor and beauty into every day life. Self-taught as an artist and sculptor before delving into design, Le Gall uses classic materials to create pieces that inspire laughter and enchantment, while being meticulously crafted,” says the gallery. Emmanuel Babled creates products in collaboration with the highest Italian craftsmen, mixing ancient knowledge with cutting-edge technology, allowing sophisticated production processes. The Italian technical heritage is being explored and revisited in order to propose new unexpected results. “Maurice Marty's skills cover the gamut of interior, surface and object works: he is a sculptor, a designer, an architect, a painter and interior designer. His influences and ideas come from everywhere, but his style is fiercely modern and recognizable,” the gallery adds. Working with an equally vast range of materials, he has exhibited his pieces and sculptures widely, designed the interiors of Paris nightclubs, hotels and high-end fashion stores, and is an unparalleled craftsman. Graduating from the Ecole Boulle in 1995, Erwan Boulloud gained unique know-how which he first put at disposal of different creators, then in the layout of the collections of great museums such as the Louvre, the CNAM or the Museum of Natural History. In 2003, Erwan opened his own workshop in Paris, then in Pantin. This is where he started creating, working on material as a prelude: metal, wood, concrete, glass; mineral or vegetable; raw, burnt or polished, decorticated, and reconstituted, and by doing so he seeks to reveal profundity. "Golden Eye” is showcasing through November 12, 2018 at Booth D13, The Salon Art + Design 2018, Park Avenue Armory, New York, USA. For details, visit: https://www.21stgallery.com/

“Dialogues” by Friedman Benda at The Salon Art + Design 2018, New York By Staff Writer
“Dialogues” by Friedman Benda at The Salon Art + Design 2018, New York
Friedman Benda is showcasing “Dialogues,” bringing three emerging voices in context with the groundbreaking Italian architect and designer — Ettore Sottsass (1917-2007) at The Salon Art + Design 2018. “Focusing on three radically different approaches and practices, this exhibit brings focus to the breadth of each designer’s expression, while contextualizing Sottsass’ enduring legacy that informs generations of young designers and artists from across the globe,” says the gallery. “Dialogues” is debuting ambitious new works by the American designer Misha Kahn, who lists Sottsass’ “willingness to swim upstream against conventional taste,” as an enduring legacy. Like Sottsass, Kahn demonstrates how a functional object can contain personality, energy and spirit. The presentation includes a site-specific floor made by Kahn. Misha Kahn was born in Duluth, Minnesota, in 1989. He graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design in 2011 and was awarded a Fulbright Fellowship at the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design in Tel Aviv the following year. https://www.blouinartinfo.com/news/story/3361453/dialogues-by-friedman-benda-at-the-salon-art-design-2018-new
In 2008, Misha's work was included in “20 under 20” at the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, MN. His concrete Heyerdahl lamps were among the works in Bjarne Melgaard’s 2013 installation at the Whitney Biennial, and his work was exhibited in 2014 at “NYC Makers: MAD Biennial” at the Museum of Art and Design, New York. Misha Kahn lives and works in Brooklyn. With his background as a chef and foundry metal worker, British artist Jonathan Trayte brings together a wide range of influences into his objects. “I grew up in the 80’s between South Africa and Yorkshire, spending a lot of my childhood in the bush. I had no idea who Sottsass was, but his striking and experimental work permeated through popular culture. His cross-disciplinary approach to design and architecture is an inspiration,” says Trayte. Trayte’s floor lamp, “Velvet Straight-Neck,” and vanity table, “Pink Mondi with Bomba Lamp,” offer a fresh take on Sottsass’ eye-catching hues and distilled, archetypal forms. Jonathan Trayte was born in 1980 in Huddersfield, UK. Trayte received a BFA from University of the Creative Arts Canterbury in 2004 and a postgraduate degree in Fine Art from Royal Academy Schools in 2010. Trayte’s work has been included in numerous international exhibitions. “Trayte’s approach to making sculpture and installation is informed by our global language of consumption and the manipulation of consumer decision-making. Using a wide range of materials, methods and processes, his work reinterprets modern consumer behavior and explores the psychology of desire through surface, material, light and color. The work is a coming together of natural forms and saccharine colors,” the gallery adds. Switzerland-based designer Ini Archibong is debuting a glass chandelier, “Vernus,” his first collaboration with the gallery. Archibong states, “Sottsass’ refined forms made me realize, not to fear exposing my inner complexities for the sake of delivering what is expected from me. To be willing to reinvent myself, and to make design with a sense of sensuality.” “Dialogues” is showcasing through November 12, 2018 at Booth B1, The Salon Art + Design 2018, Park Avenue Armory, New York, USA.

Highlights from The Salon Art + Design 2018 By Staff Writer
Highlights from The Salon Art + Design 2018
The Salon Art + Design 2018, produced by Sanford Smith + Associates, concludes today. Featuring works from 56 leading art and design galleries (from 11 different countries), The Salon spotlights the top trends in collectible design from across the world. The highlights of the fair’s seventh edition include Eileen Fisher DesignWork’s collection of felt wall hangings made in New York from recycled textiles; a site-specific installation by New York-based atelier Callidus Guild with gallery partner Jeff Lincoln Art + Design, helmed by artist Yolande Batteau; and Lalique’s one-of-a-kind curated installation by interior designer Ryan Korban using select Lalique crystal pieces. For the fourth year in a row, Maison Goyard is presenting an extensive collection of trunks for the modern age, highlighting the house’s timeless craftsmanship and whimsical elegance. London-based Charles Burnand reinterprets mid-century Modernism and Brutalism for the 21st-century for this year’s Collector’s Lounge.
https://www.blouinartinfo.com/news/story/3364230/highlights-from-the-salon-art-design-2018
Maison Goyard: Maison Goyard’s installation “In Praise of Slowness,” is inspired by a famous Haiku by the legendary Japanese poet Kobayashi. Celebrating the virtue of taking things slow, the installation features a snail pulling a net of Goyard trunks, which serves as a playful, oneiric, and poetic metaphor for slowness as the ultimate indulgence and the epitome of luxury. “This tongue-in-cheek ‘mise-en-scene’ also highlights the unparalleled skills of the Goyard trunk makers, who have taken their time to master the art of crafting exceptionally light and easy to handle trunks and luggage, despite their seemingly grand appearance,” states the press release. Eileen Fisher DesignWork: Eileen Fisher DesignWork presents a collection of felt wall hangings created in New York from recycled textiles by artist and painter Sigi Ahl over the past seven years. Eileen Fisher challenges the non-sustainable ways of the fashion industry. The company’s latest initiative DesignWork is a creative exchange between makers who stitch consumers used garments into captivating wall hangings and accessories for interiors, hospitality, contract, and public space. Unique edition wallworks are made locally at the DesignWork studios in Irvington, New York. “DesignWork blurs the boundaries between art, design, textiles, and activism, fueling a creative momentum for renewable practices and shining a light on the emerging circular economy,” as per the release. Charles Burnand Gallery: The Charles Burnand Gallery and Design Studio transforms the Superintendent’s Room at The Armory into an exquisite Collector’s Lounge. Founder and creative director Simon Stewart focuses on European manufacture, bringing together creative artisans who specialize in materials that have been worked with and refined over the generations — from hand-blown Italian Murano glass, straw marquetry from France, mica, and gypsum. A series of lighting and furniture pieces designed in collaboration with renowned global interior designers and architects are on display. Lalique and Ryan Korban: Lalique and acclaimed interior designer Ryan Korban have partnered to create a one-of-a-kind curated installation using select Lalique crystal pieces housed in Staff Parlor. Korban, inspired by blush tones and textures, creates an environment of silk carpeting, velvet, suede, and floral walls, custom straw marquetry, and cashmere upholstery. Callidus Guild and Jeff Lincoln Art + Design: Callidus Guild is the Applied Arts Partner of The Salon Art + Design 2018. Creative Director artist Yolande Batteau has prepared a site-specific installation, which is on display in the Historic Library Room at The Armory — designed by Louis C. Tiffany, Associated Artists with Stanford White. The installation features a series of stelae built as towering plaster and canvas monoliths. Draped, collapsing, soft, and amorphous, they serve as rigorous experiments rooted in material culture both ancient and modern, according to the press release. Gallery partner Jeff Lincoln Art + Design has curated collectible and historical design elements that reinforce and expand upon the notion of tactility and organic movement in contemporary design inherent in Batteau’s work and installation. “New work by renowned glass artist John Pomp to master ceramic artist Lee Hun Chung, among others, provide a narrative that sharpens and contextualizes the meaning of materiality and form in contemporary design,” states the press release. Karma Automotive: Karma Automotive is showcasing its new, special edition Revero, which has been named 2018 Luxury Green Car of the Year. The luxury performance car is powered by dual electric motors that embody the company’s goals of offering leading automotive design, technology, customization, and an outstanding customer experience, as per the release. The Salon Art + Design is on view through November 12, 2018, at Park Avenue Armory 643 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10065 https://www.blouinartinfo.com/news/story/3364230/highlights-from-the-salon-art-design-2018

Las últimas tendencias del diseño de interiores conquistan Nueva York By Michele Safra
Acaba de finalizar la séptima edición de The Salon Art + Design, celebrada durante los días 8 al 12 de noviembre en la emblemática Armería de Park Avenue de la ciudad de Nueva York. The Salon Art + Design, la feria más importante de diseño de interiores a nivel mundial, acaba de celebrar su séptima edición durante los días 8 al 12 de noviembre en la emblemática Armería de Park Avenue de la ciudad de Nueva York. Llevada a cabo por Sanford Smith + Associates, la iniciativa es todo un espectáculo que ha ido ganando en reputación año tras año tanto por la calidad, diversidad y conservación de las piezas expuestas, como por la selección de sus galerías participantes. En este sentido, fueron cincuenta y seis galerías de 11 países diferentes las que formaron parte de la feria y que presentaron desde antigüedades clásicas y abstractas hasta piezas contemporáneas, pasando por piezas de diseño de diversos estilos. Se trata de un escaparate único y un pronosticador de tendencias tanto de piezas antiguas coleccionables como de muebles antiguos y modernos.

Distintas disciplinas artísticas El salón también acogió una serie de exposiciones especiales, incluida una instalación de la artista visual estadounidense contemporánea Paula Hayes. La práctica de Hayes, ampliamente reconocida por catalizar el resurgimiento del terrario del siglo XXI en su interpretación contemporánea, redefine y expande los parámetros del arte más allá de los objetos inanimados estáticos al concentrarse en el entorno natural. *Fotografía de portada: ‘Baboon Bench’, 1999.

Todo lo que debes de saber para volverte un coleccionista Jill Bokor, la directora ejecutiva de la feria de arte The Salon Art + Design explica cómo entrar a este mundo. By Regina Montemayor

Entrar al mundo del coleccionismo puede ser un poco intimidante. Para ayudar a navegar este territorio desconocido, la directora ejecutiva de la feria de arte y diseño The Salon Art + Design, Jill Bokor, comparte sus consejos y tips a continuación: El placer de coleccionar diseño es la consideración de la belleza, lo elegante, lo quirky y lo eterno - cosas que todos buscamos cuando coleccionamos arte, pero también lo funcional. Hay algo muy satisfactorio acerca de saber que el diseño que se colecciona mejora la calidad de vida de una manera significante.
https://www.vogue.mx/agenda/cultura/articulos/the-salon-art-design-feria-de-arte-como-coleccionar-arte/13876
¿Cómo se empieza? Primero que nada, hay que ver todo. Ir a galerías, subastas, ferias de arte. Considerar la historia. ¿Qué periodo te atrae más? ¡Investiga! Comprar una primera pieza puede ser una experiencia desconcertante. ¿Realmente quiero esto? ¿Tendrá un buen aspecto con los años? Analiza la pieza desde todos los ángulos. Luego dale tiempo. ¿Se quedó contigo? ¿Sigues pensando en ella al día siguiente? Si la respuesta es sí, anímate y compra y la pieza.

Estamos hablando de diseño abajo de $10,000 dólares. Puede ser sorprenderte enterarte que puedes encontrar obras de diseñadores icónicos y también de talento emergente. En The Salon Art + Design, una lámpara de mesa del artista más famoso de los American Craft Studio Artists, George Nakashima, se vende por $9500 dólares. También puedes encontrar un set de mesas de John Conyer por un precio de $8500 dólares. Serán presentadas por Moderne, una galería de Filadelfia que se especializa en muebles American Craft Studio por más de 25 años. En Liz O´Brien, busco coloridos jarrones de miel de Murano Glass. Estas piezas expertamente creadas tienen un rango de precio de $3500 a $3800 dólares. Es como comprar una mini escultura - linda en color y perfecta en forma. Cuando estés en el booth, no dejes de buscar la cerámica azul de Bill Hudnut, cada una con un precio entre $2200 y $2400 dólares. Cada obra es impresionante y se vuelve más fuerte cuando están en grupo así que comprar más de una es la mejor opción. Finalmente, Nancy Lorenz ha creado espejos de pared Moon Gold - cada uno combina lujosos acabados dorados con espejos.

En Galerie Negropontes, Paris, hay mesas esquineras de mármol que cuestan $6300 dólares diseñadas por Hervé Langlais y un candelabro Crop Circle de Eric de Dormaelpor un precio de $4700 dólares Como tip, ¡solo compra lo que te encante! No compres porque una pieza está de moda. Piensa si en 5 años estarás feliz viendo la obra todos los días. No compres para revender. Aunque el diseño coleccionable se está volviendo cada vez más valioso, no es lo ideal especular en el campo. No tengas miedo de hacer preguntas. A los dealers les encanta hablar de su material. Finalmente, compra lo mejor que te alcance, pero no estires tu zona de confort demasiado. ¡Siempre hay otra obra! La feria de arte The Salon Art + Design se lleva a cabo en el Park Avenue Armory en 643 Park Avenue en Nueva York del 8 al 12 de noviembre. El costo del boleto de la feria es de $30 dólares.

Happy 10th Birthday to Homedit! By Staff Writer
The Galerie BSL exhibit at The Salon Art+Design is a stunning design example.
New York’s “fanciest” design show, The Salon Art + Design is just that: An event that blends the highest end art and design under one roof: It’s a show that never fails to wow and while the prices are beyond the reach of many, it is a delight as inspiration and a chance to dream. Spectacular pieces, both vintage and new, are displayed in spectacular fashion. We were excited to bring you the highlights from this show again because the art and furniture are just amazing.

FOIRES
La huitième édition de Salon Art + Design (New York), qui a fermé ses portes lundi, a enregistré des ventes sans précédent — un résultat qui témoigne du dynamisme du marché du design. Sur les 56 marchands au rendez-vous, 21 étaient de New York, le reste de Paris, Milan, Londres et Le Cap (Afrique du Sud). Parmi les collectionneurs, étaient présents Nathalie de Gunzburg, présidente du conseil d’administration de la Dia Art Foundation, Alexandre Assouline, Marie-Josée Kravis, Charlotte Sarkozy et Lady Liliana Cavendish. Aline Chastel (galerie Chastel-Maréchal) a rapidement vendu deux fauteuils en palissandre d’Eugène Printz (vers 1930) à environ 100 000 dollars chacun. « L’Art déco est devenu tellement cher que de plus en plus de collectionneurs préfèrent Printz et le design brésilien », explique Béatrice Saint-Laurent, directrice de la galerie BSL. Elle présentait une pièce de la designer munichoise Pia Maria Raeder, Sea Anemone 10, une lampe en verre soufflé recouverte de 27 000 tiges de hêtre, qui a trouvé un acheteur dans l’heure. Les ventes réalisées par Modernity (Stockholm) attestent de cet engouement envers les lignes épurées du design. « Nous avons vendu à 42 000 dollars une table en teck et en chêne de Hans Wegner, datant des années 50, à un client du Moyen-Orient, qui souhaite l’installer à son domicile suisse, », explique Isaac Pineus, directeur de la galerie. Un chariot à thé d’Alvar Aalto en bouleau et linoléum, daté de 1936, (16 500 dollars) a particulièrement intéressé un musée. La galerie Sarah Myerscough

C’est le cas du designer irlandais Joseph Walsh, dont le Centre Pompidou héberge quelques œuvres, qui a reçu de nombreuses commandes, du duc de Devonshire aux maharajas de Delhi, en passant par les familles royales des Émirats. Sa table Dommus (2018), en bois de noyer, s’est rapidement vendue à 175 000 euros. « Contrairement au PAD, Paris ou Londres, ici à Manhattan, les décorateurs viennent nombreux », explique Julia Villard, qui a repéré parmi les clients une trentaine d’architectes d'intérieur, dont Jacques Grange, Pierre Yovanovitch, Charles Zana, Peter Marino et Lee Mindel.

The Salon Art and Design NY, November 2018 By Ida Ivanka Kubler
I took a walk through the spaces of The Salon Art and Design, and also through the spaces created in my imagination. The Salon Art and Design this year was charged and buzzing with eclectic energy. The new trends As I entered the fair I was immediately drawn to an object “talking to me” with “open mouth”. “Unique” by the Haas Brothers (Photo 1) disappeared within minutes, finding a new home. The artists also created another vase in Yellow with an Erbium Neck. (Photo 2) I made an initial full walk through the fair to catch the new trends, leaving the details for later. In this first round I observed that Yellow is a central part of the visual spirit of this Fall 2018 fair, present in many manifestations. Swept up, I found myself walking through outer and inner spaces. While standing at the fair, I found myself imagining myself in a large living room dominated and swayed by yellow hues. If I existed in this space, I would sit in the Mars Cadmium Yellow chair by Steen Eiler Rasmussen (Photo 3) holding my laptop and reading my emails. Next to me would stand the Napels Yellow tables seen on Hostler Burrows Booth (Photo 4) The organic shape of the sofa On those organically shaped and practical tables, which can open in many different configurations, I would place the Viridian Green vase with three Bird of Paradise plants like Strelitzias and the wine decanters with details in the same Viridian Green. I would fill the decanters with dry Red wine. (Photo 5). The colors of my imagined space are encompassing and inviting.
https://ifthenisnow.eu/nl/verhalen/the-salon-art-and-design-ny-november-2018
I would ask a friend to join me for a nice cozy evening and we would enjoy the organic shape of the Matt Black leather sofa by Rich Mnisi (Photo 6), where a body feels hugged and cared for as though it is in its element. Subtle Pale Yellow light would glow from the wall, created by the Onyx and Bronze Ring by Markus Haase (Photo 7) creating a sublime sensation with the Cobalt Green Turquoise Samno-Attic Helmet placed in front of it (Photo 8). Next to this fusion would sit a side chair from the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo (Photo 9). Immersed in art Somewhere in the dark corner of the room on a side table, two special objects would command attention with their bright colored positive energy: Scheveningen Yellow ceramic sculpture by Merete Rasmussen (Photo 10) and Cadmium Yellow Medium Glass vase by Pamela Sabroso & Alison Siegel (Photo 11). The next day, in this fantastic place growing in my imagination, my partner would invite friends for afternoon tea and then we would all sit down across from the large Warm Grey coffee table by Anne Barrès (Photo 12), on the comfortable White sofa seen in Nicolas Kilner booth (Photo 13) and on several Matt Anthracite stools by Nicolas Aubagnac (Photo 14). Soft light would come from the white Plexiglas, Black lacquered metal floor lamp by Pierre Guariche (Photo 15) and Matt Black sculpture by Judi Harvest (Photo 16). The atmosphere would be joyful and creative as we all talked about art while immersed in it totally - but I won’t tell you the details of that conversation in my rich yellow tinted imagination. I can keep some secrets...

Reinier Bosch’s Dew bench
Q&A
Nathaniel Kahn Meet the filmmaker who’s exposing the art world’s big money problem. Salon’s Next Generation
FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH L I K E E V E RY T H I N G E LS E these days, it appears Salon Art + Design (thesalonny .com) is making a play for millennials. This month, the interiors fair—which has long held a reputation for midcenturymodern classics by old-guard luminaries like Jean Prouvé and Gio Ponti—is bringing a younger demographic of talent to its Park Avenue Armory show. Case in point: 38-year-old Dutch designer Reinier Bosch, whose high-polished Melting Series pieces look like beautiful puddles
of precious metal. His elegant Dew bench dripping in bronze (shown above) is bound to be a highlight, as is the work of Alex Chinneck, who brings his beguiling sculpture to the show in the form of Growing Up Gets Me Down, a sinuous wooden grandfather clock that looks like a relic from Alice’s Wonderland. Both artists—thirty-somethings with impressive résumés—are headlining for the Netherlands’ Priveekollektie Contemporary Art | Design, one of dozens of galleries
It’s no secret that the art world has become a demimonde for a privileged few who think little of dropping millions on blue-chip works regardless of their actual value. But what is a secret is how this rarefied ecosystem—with its seemingly arbitrary and sky’sthe-limit valuations—actually works. Director Nathaniel Kahn’s latest film, The Price of Everything, attempts to make sense of the artcommodity hysteria through a series of characters, from the struggling artist to the billionaire collector to the jaded art critic. Here, Kahn gives us a preview of his exposé, which airs on HBO on November 12.
at the show focusing on fresh talent. Other hot arrivals include the Southern Guild’s Rich Mnisi—whose Nwa-Mulamula series is as personal as it is progressive—and Heller Gallery’s Pamela Sabroso and Alison Siegel, the duo behind a collection of vaguely anatomical vases that are just the right amount of young and reckless. Of course, you’ll still find a Prouvé or two at the show—it might just look a little stuffy given the new company. Angela M. H. Schuster

What drew you to the subject of art versus commerce? For me, the art world seems to encapsulate something that’s happening in our entire society, which is, quite frankly, terrifying, and that is that everything has a price now. As Chicago collector Stefan Edlis says in the film, taking his cues from Oscar Wilde, “There are a lot of people out there who know the price of everything and the value of
nothing.” Growing up in a family of artists, I saw that the relationship between art and money was so often an unhappy one. And in recent years, that relationship has been completely upended with art coming to be seen as an investment class. Unfortunately, most of the artists whose works currently command such high prices rarely profit from the trade in their creative genius. I wanted to tell their story as much as anything.
17 How Many?
The number of paintings
throughout history that have crossed the $100 million mark at auction, adjusted for today’s dollars.
Artists seem to have difficult relationships with money. Absolutely. Take Larry Poons, for example. He had quite a career in the 1960s and 1970s but had seemingly vanished from the scene. He was disgusted by what he was witnessing in the market, although he has continued to create this incredible body of work. It just so happens during our filming he was amid a major comeback. As he told us, “If I had been successful at that time, I don’t know if I would be alive today.” You weave together multiple narratives in the film to illustrate your point. That was perhaps our greatest challenge. We felt we needed to track so many strands of our story simultaneously. We needed to show how an auction of postwar and contemporary art is put together and follow [visual artist] George Condo throughout the creation of a painting. And then of course there was the more macro timeline of how the market launched on its current trajectory. For instance, we tracked the escalation in value of Jasper Johns’s Target (1961), which commanded $125,000 at the [notorious] Robert Scull sale at Sotheby’s in 1973. Edlis wound up buying that painting for $10 million in 1997; it is probably worth 10 times that today.
State of the Art
HERE WE GO AGAIN . . . I T WO U L D N ’ T B E November without Christie’s (christies.com) working the art world into a frenzy. This year, the heated speculation is over David Hockney’s Portrait of an Artist (Pool with Two Figures), which the auction house has estimated to sell for $80 million at its November 15 evening sale of postwar and contemporary art—potentially making it the most expensive artwork ever sold by a living artist. There’s no doubt Hockney is having a moment. Over the past year, the 81-year-old artist’s retrospective hit the Tate Britain, the Centre Pompidou, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. But is the buzz enough to justify Portrait’s extraordinary estimate—or is it just another stunt to keep the art world in a permanent state of hysteria? Last year’s
equivalent was the unforgettable case of Leonardo da Vinci’s Salvator Mundi, which Christie’s theatrically dubbed “the last da Vinci” and slapped with a $100 million estimate. The gambit paid off in the end: The piece sold for more than four times that much. Whether the auction house’s latest show pony will have the same fate is somewhat less likely. Though Portrait is indeed remarkable, its estimate is staggering given Hockney’s own personal best to date: Earlier this year, his Pacific Coast Highway and Santa Monica sold for $28.5 million at Sotheby’s New York. The realization of Christie’s high hopes would nearly triple that figure. The art world, no doubt, is already rubbing its collective hands together at the prospect. Angela M. H. Schuster

Unique, Masterful Designs Make the Salon Art + Design 2018 a Must See By Vera Dordick
A highlight on the fall design calendar, The Salon Art + Design presents an astounding mix of historical and modern and contemporary design and art. We look forward to seeing the groundbreaking designs, both old and new, each year at New York City’s Park Avenue Armory. The latest edition did not disappoint, and apparently, collectors were delighted as well because opening night yielded an astounding sales volume. Browsing the array of pieces from some of the top international galleries, we had a tough time picking just a few highlights, but here they are!
https://www.homedit.com/the-salon-art-design-trends/
Friedman Benda Gallery
The symphony of glass artfully mixes slender forms with a few fat ones.
A gleaming profusion of glass pendants is a chandelier by Ini Archibong of Switzerland. Called Vernus, it is his first collaboration with the Friedman Benda Gallery, which presented the work. The piece is inspired in part by the work of Italian architect and designer Ettore Sottsass who worked in furniture, jewelry, glass, lighting, and home objects. The varied shapes of the pendants, composed of sensuous forms, collectively create a spectacular chandelier.
https://www.homedit.com/the-salon-art-design-trends/
Cristina Grajales Gallery
Her new methods of weaving have yielded interesting pieces of furniture.
A looping chair that is uniquely woven of steel, hose, foam, custom upholstery piping and cable. Created by Turkish artist Betil Dagdelen, it is a mix of traditional weaving technology and new sculpted forms. The shape and style reflect her apprenticeship with indigenous weavers in New Mexico, Peru and Turkey. The layered coils are stylishly lashed together and morphed into the chair shape that is very comfortable and supremely artistic.
https://www.homedit.com/the-salon-art-design-trends/
David Gill Gallery
Deconstructive versions of basic furnishings are dramatic and unexpected.
A literal new twist on a bench is Sebastian Brajkovic’s Banquette. Crafted from grey bronze, copper and embroidered greige linen, it is indicative of the furniture designer’s style. Known for distorting common chair shapes into something almost unrecognizable, Brajkovic aims to “unite the future, present and past.” Trained as a cabinet maker, Brajkovic uses his woodworking skills to create pieces that are far more than furniture, but rather works of art.
https://www.homedit.com/the-salon-art-design-trends/
Donzella Gallery
The glass and irregular shapes come together in an very intriguing table.
A stunning coffee table by Ghiró Studios is made from glass panels that are hand carved. The pieces are set into a brass frame that incorporates the tops of the irregularly shaped table legs, also made from brass. The iridescence of the glass top comes from a unique finish treatment. The table is called Artide and was crafted in Italy by father and son glass and crystal artists Michele and Domenico Ghiró. The shape and finish give it a contemporary feel yet somehow it also has an air of elegance more often associated with old world styling. It’s a very striking piece.
https://www.homedit.com/the-salon-art-design-trends/
The Future Perfect
These spare vessels have great impact and drama.
One of the distinctive aspects of The Salon Art + Design is its combination of both genres because it offers visitors an opportunity to see exceptional works like these vessels by ceramic artist Eric Roinestad. The California-based artist creates precise wheel thrown ceramic sculptures and lighting. More than just decorative vessels, these are sculptures, dramatic in their simplicity. Roinestad’s work is said to meld California folk modernism with his Scandinavian heritage, evident in the white medium and spare silhouettes. These are art pieces that are very collectible and make a real impact displayed in a grouping like this, or as a single piece against a dark background.
https://www.homedit.com/the-salon-art-design-trends/
Galerie BSL
Elegant curves characterize these spare pieces.
A gorgeous living room from Gallerie BSL includes this upholstered Crescent sofa by Charles Kalpakian. The Lebanese-born designer’s work is influenced by motifs from the decorative arts that he then fuses with urban and contemporary culture to create clean, curving pieces like the sofa. The sofa comes in three colors and features stainless steel legs with a brass finish. It is paired with the walnut L’Infini coffee table by Gildas Berthelot. The hand-carved piece has legs that evoke the feeling of a living being, which is because his sculptural furniture pieces are meant to be like imaginary creatures. These works sit against the background of a modern and angular room divider. “Dynamic Landscape” by Francois Mascarello is composed of straw marquetry, stucco and steel. The three-panel divider is a grand example of the designer’s work, which focuses on hand-craftsmanship and the material constraints that contribute to his masterful designs. The oneof-a-kind divider is modern in style yet very versatile for spaces of various decors.
https://www.homedit.com/the-salon-art-design-trends/
Galerie Hervouet
Masterful woodwork is common in custom pieces of the era.
A magnificent antique cabinet from Galerie Hervouet is typical of the style created nearly a century ago. The wood pattern on the inside is also spectacularly repeated on the inside. The striking doors also open to the side, fully displaying not only the interior but also the inside face of the two doors. Also common in that era, the inside of the cabinet includes a hidden compartment for secreting away valuables or sentimental items. The gallery says it was likely a special commission at the time due to the painstaking quality and unusual design.
https://www.homedit.com/the-salon-art-design-trends/
Galerie Kreo
This tongue-in-cheek ceramic piece is lighthearted.
Art and design can’t all be serious and we fell in love with this whimsical sculpture of a falling vase. Done in pure white, the masterful cascade of joined vessels mimics what would be anyone’s nightmare. It’s a great play on the delicacy of breakable artworks and is marvelously fun.

Galerie Maria Wettergen
Bengtsson creates his works at Factum Arte in Madrid.
A tangle of tension and sculpted chaos, the Maple Mesh Table by Mathias Bengtsson is indicative of his pieces in general. Bengtsson reimagines furniture in shapes that you would never have thought possible. The pieces transform materials and shapes into forms that push the boundaries between art and precision engineering. Created by routing 50 different pieces of wood with a 7-axis robot, the table is a conversation piece and woodworking wonder.

Gallery Fumi
A single line can become an intricate chair design.
The meandering of a single line has been transformed into an artful chair by Alex Hull. The UK artist has twisted and shaped hand-forged bronze into this funky piece. His work is inspired by a “passion for working with natural materials and building things with your own hands� that he inherited from his father who was a timber specialist and builder. The chair is ideal for a modern or contemporary setting where it can sit at the center of attention.

Garrido Gallery
A single line can become an intricate chair design.
The Garrido Gallery of Spain is known for its metalwork as it should be considering its origins come from the jewelry sphere. This coffee table is a gem of its own kind, with the brilliant, seamless rose gold base the is formed from cylinders of various sizes. Some of the cylinders have a hand stamped pattern on the top edge while others are plain. The slab or marble used for the top is also very special thanks to its marvelous array of colors including a rich pink shade. Specially selected for this table, the marble was sourcedfrom a distinctive quarry in Pakistan.

The works have been described as sinuous and sometimes almost sinister.
American artist Amber Cowan’s pieces appear textural and intriguing at a distance yet from a closer vantage point, they call you to linger and explore the various forms that make up the whole. Cowan upcycles pressed glassware that was made by well-known US glass factories that are no longer. They are a deft weaving of glass history, art and texture into stunning monochromatic works. This is her Diamond in Milk.

Vintage pieces don’t have to be serious and can be funloving.
Vintage and whimsy go together quite naturally in this great combination. A 1950’s Italian Venetian mirror sports an ornate but rather masculine frame of beveled and etched glass. It features cobalt glass panels with shaped glass appliques a twisted border and little glass flowers. It sits above a swirl of a console table that has a deep-sea coral-like vibe and is ideal for the mermaid tail sculptures on its top.

Lost City Arts
The Picasso vibe of this mask comes from the artist’s interaction with the painter.
Among the fun artworks, was a collection of ceramic masks that were created by Roger Capron. The late French artist interacted with Picasso and the influence comes through in these masks. He was known for his work in furniture as well as other forms and in his later work was inspired by Scandinavian design. His collection of masks is a set of varies sizes, from larger pieces like this one to miniature versions. They evoke the traditional African style mask, yet have a touch of Picasso-esque cubism

Maison Rapin
The cabinet is truly a jewel-encrusted work of art.
Calling this piece jewelry furniture is almost an understatement. Kam Tim’s amber cabochon encrusted three-drawer cabinet is fully bejeweled on the front and sides. The array of shades among the amber pieces provides a great deal of dimension and immediately draws you in. Philippe Rapin came across Tim’s turquoise chest, became enraptured by it, and bought the brand. The range of single or limited edition pieces includes those made from turquoise, tiger eye and pyrite as well as amber. Each of the works is made by artisans and goldsmiths in Rapin’s German workshop.

Mouvements Modernes
Spare, modern pieces offer a different kind of drama.
With a curvature that is opposite the usual sofa style, Garouste & Bonetti’s Vendome is attention-getting. The two corners look idea for snuggling in, with ample support at the back. The graceful design is a bit unexpected and is a counterpoint to the angular set of three side tables that are paired with it. Designed by François Mascarello, they are fashioned from stucco and have straw marquetry tops. Straw marquetry is a rare and exacting skill that not many artisans practice today, making the pieces very special.

Gallerie Negropontes
A large wall panel makes a strong design statement.
This comfortable space is anchored by a textural wall panel from Etienne Moyat. The floor to ceiling panel has at its center a witch mirror, which gives it some functionality to go with its dominant visual impact. In front, two very comfortable sheepskin-covered chairs are paired with a marble coffee table. The one-armed Petit Frank seats were created by HervĂŠ Langlais in a collection that pays tribute to iconic designer Brancusi. The table is also by Langlais.

Priveekollektie Contemporary Art | Design
Whimsical works often reflect advanced techniques and innovative engineering.
Always a hit with interactive digital artworks or unexpected reconstructions of everyday items. The gallery never disappoints. This year, our pick is Growing Up Gets Me Down by Alex Chinneck. The British sculptor creates surreal pieces like this that are whimsical in appearance but challenging from the technical standpoint. Coaxing wood to bend in this fashion for the clock — which is a working timepiece — is so not easy.
https://www.homedit.com/the-salon-art-design-trends/
R & Company
Every room can use a little fun.
When it’s time for something whimsical, look no further than R&Company. This New York-based gallery always has plenty of original and funky pieces, like this Chicken Lamp by Sebastian Errazuriz. The Chileanborn artist who works in New York, is known for creating works that blur the lines between contemporary art, design, craft and technology. This particular lamp is composed of a taxidermy chicken and electrical components. It’s a bold choice and we would love to have it in any room!

Giustini/Stagetti
This cabinet is an example of what luxury recycled furniture can look like.
We’ve seen plenty of upcycled furniture but this piece reflects an entirely different level of art and craftsmanship. Part of the Delta Collection by Formafantasma, a studio made up of two Italian designers based in Amsterdam, Andrea Trimarchi and Simone Farresin. This sleek cabinet entitled Ore Streams is manufactured from metallic car paint on CNC milled aluminum, gold plated aluminum, and various parts from mobile phones. Techies and Luddites alike can appreciate the modern styling and unique recycling of electronic.

Sarah Myerscough Gallery
Turning flaws into design features is a challenging goal but creates a dramatic piece.
We’ve noticed more and more woodworking artisans transforming knots and other alterations in wood that were previously considered flaws into design highlights. UK designer Nic Webb takes this concept far beyond the live edge concept to create these large-scale vessels called The Big Reds. Fashioned from redwood, they feature carving that mimics the rings and grain found in various types of wood, making the knotholes prominent design features. They are not only expertly crafted, but have a modern rough-hewn feeling that makes them very versatile, especially for modern decor schemes.

Southern Guild
Unusual forms elevate simple lines as in this table.
It was exciting to see South Africa’s Southern Guild at the Salon because they bring fresh new artists and innovative pieces to every show. Jesse Ede’s Lunar console is interesting for the way it features the stones — Marmesbury slate — embedded in the recycled aluminum console. The protrusions at the top are mirrored underneath as well. Ede’s work has involved experimentation in open-cast aluminum smelting and the creation of pieces that highlight the contrast between the materials and the process of forming them into furniture.
https://www.homedit.com/the-salon-art-design-trends/
Todd Merrell Studio
This wall element is a large-scale piece of jewelry.
It’s impossible to look at Timothy Horn’s wall art and not think of jewelry. This is for good reason because this piece and others in this collection are inspired by “17th-century jewelry and 19th-century studies of natural forms such as lichen, coral and seaweed.” The large-scale renderings of the old-world embellishments are a little surreal, drawing you in as if you could pluck a pearl and hang it from an earlobe. Horn creates the pieces using wax casting for the tree structure, that is made from nickel-plated bronze. The giant pearls are actually mirrored blown glass.

Twenty First Gallery
A limited edition of 30 chairs were made.
It’s hard not to want this charming chair designed by Hubert LeGall. The Maxou chair is upholstered in two tones of velvet and the design is embroidered in black. Whether you see two chicks or something else, the seat is a comfortable addition and a great way to add a light-hearted touch to a room. The fun factor in this chair is only enhanced by the fact that it has elegant lines and is expertly crafted.
https://www.homedit.com/the-salon-art-design-trends/
Wexler Gallery
Natural forms are frequent themes in this designer’s works.
With splotches of seats and backs, these Rorschach chairs are aptly named. Designed by metal worker and glass artist Gregory Nangle, the chairs also feature swirls that resemble the cross-section of a tree. Natural elements like wood, rocks and leaves are common natural motifs in Nangle’s work. While these are the right size for being used as dining chairs, we’d hate to see them hidden under a table, with their irregular shapes and tree-limb legs. The Salon Art + Design is an even made for browsing and marveling. The range of works and artists, both iconic and contemporary, are a delight to behold and represent some of the best design out there. Keep an eye on Homedit as we’ll share more great pieces from this show with you.

Saturday Selects: Week of November 12, 2018 By Jill Singer The Salon Art + Design
Get on that lime-green tip with a jumbo-tufted custom sofa from Todd Merrill’s in-house collection. (We also like the demi-lune pink settee.) https://www.sightunseen.com/2018/11/week-of-november-12-2018-salon-art-design/
One of the coolest things at Salon this year was a site-specific, blush-colored installation by up-and-coming interior designer Ryan Korban and the renowned French glassmaker Lalique. The moiré couches are Korban’s own design, while the massive pink piece is a mixture of inset crystal and straw marquetry, created by Jallu Ébénistes.

For its presentation, Friedman Benda placed three contemporary designers in conversation with the work of Ettore Sottsass: Misha Kahn, Ini Archibong, and Jonathan Trayte, With his background as a chef and foundry metal worker, British artist Jonathan Trayte, whose work is shown here. “I grew up in the 80’s between South Africa and Yorkshire, spending a lot of my childhood in the bush,” says Trayte. “I had no idea who Sottsass was, but his striking and experimental work permeated through popular culture and influenced. His crossdisciplinary approach to design and architecture is an inspiration,” says Trayte.

Exhibiting Imagination At The Salon Of Art And Design By Greg Smith
Two attendees stand in front of a carpet by Frank Lloyd Wright in the booth of Bernard Goldberg Fine Arts, New York City.
NEW YORK CITY – We saw glimmers of it throughout the Twentieth Century when furniture artists rejected the paired down proportions of modernism and went big – really big – with awe-inspiring results. Artists like Jack Rogers Hopkins would designate function to architecture, releasing his forms into the infinite. It mirrored the abstraction going on at the same time: now, anything was possible. As this writer walked through the Salon of Art and Design, which returned to the Park Avenue Armory for its 7th edition November 8-12, it was hard to dismiss the feeling that we have arrived, again, to the age of imagination. The field has been utterly released from form through modern build technology to explore what a chair, a chandelier or a cabinet, can be. From 56 galleries, the Salon’s international offerings did not subscribe to democratic design, though we believe the Eameses would still be impressed with the show’s survey, which touched on antiquity before spotlighting some historic masters – like Koloman Moser and Frank Lloyd Wright – before making off with the vibrant contemporary scene. A word that was floated to this writer on the show floor was “artiture,” short for Art Furniture, which, thankfully, has not yet made headway into any reputable dictionary. The high-profile design fair is an absolute magnet for blue-chip design, works of cast bronze and exotic builds that, while expensive to buy, were expensive to make. https://www.antiquesandthearts.com/exhibiting-imagination-at-the-salon-of-art-and-design/
The fair invited just around 12,000 people through its doors in 2018, signaling an increase in attendance over last year. Jill Bokor, the executive director of the fair, attributes this to the fact that the Salon has a unique footprint in the New York City fair calendar. “There’s nothing that presents design with the punctuation of art like we do,” she said. This year’s fair presented a 60/40 split between international and domestic dealers. While Bokor is committed to supporting domestic design, she added, “I like the European dealers because they bring things that American buyers maybe have never seen. But we are always trying to get the balance exactly right.” This year’s fair skewed slightly more contemporary than in year’s past, but that did not mean that historical design was left behind. New York City’s Bernard Goldberg Fine Arts mounted a Frank Lloyd Wright exhibition that surveyed a number of forms from numerous commissions by the famed American architect. “It took us a few years to bring this collection together,” Goldberg said as he looked onto his booth, which included a gate from the 1952 Benjamin Adelman house in Phoenix, Ariz.; a chair from the Usonian Exhibition House at the Guggenheim Foundation, circa 1953; a pair of exterior lights from the Francis W. Little house in Wayzata, Minn., circa 1912; and from Little’s first Wright commission in Peoria, Ill., a carpet. “The rug is probably the most significant thing in the booth, there aren’t many left,” said Lisa Rotmil, gallery associate and researcher. “The rug has a lot of everything you think about with Wright. The stretching out and elongation… and his signature squares. His whole design ethos is on display: to have everything make sense in its context, the symbiotic relationship. There are maybe ten textiles left.”

A fanciful display of Italian glass was on exhibit at Glass Past, New York City, who made their debut at the fair this year. The display ran from the 1920s into the midcentury, providing a visual evolution of Italian style. A Soffiato pitcher, glasses and tray service from Vittorio Zecchin, model 203, was made in the Venini studio circa 1921-25. “Earlier glass is very light and traditional,” said Sara Blumberg, gallery co-owner. The forms were rooted in the revival styles that held weight at the beginning of the Twentieth Century. Moving forward, Blumberg pointed to the evolving style of Tomaso Buzzi, whose work brought the exhibition into the 1930s40s. Buzzi’s forms began to deviate away from classical styles into both a paired down modern aesthetic as well as an exploration into excess decorations.

Works from important Twentieth Century American furniture artists were on display with Philadelphia-based Wexler Gallery. Among them was a 1980 laminated cherry dining set with 12 chairs from Wendell Castle. It was flanked by “Lynx Table,” a 1999 cast bronze work from Judy Kensley McKie. On top of the Castle table were three bowls from Roberto Lugo, contemporary graffiti ceramicist. The other half of the Philadelphia design spectrum included Moderne Gallery, which focused on works from George Nakashima, David Ebner and John Eric Byers. Both Ebner and Byers were Wendell Castle students, some of the only to lead successful careers in their craft. Gallery owner Robert Aibel speculated that this may have been because Castle perhaps did not place an emphasis on listening to clients. “He never had to,” Aibel said. An exceptional chip-carved and ebonized coffee table from Byers was on exhibit in the booth, surrounded by large enamel works from Paul Hultberg. Contemporary multidisciplinary artist Misha Kahn was on show at Friedman Benda’s exhibition, which brought together contemporary interpretations of designs by Italian legend Ettore Sottsass. Kahn’s works included a 2018 artwork titled “And it was malignant and had spread to every known surface (still life with peaches),” which had been fashioned from pine, walnut, glass, drywall, canvas, pink insulation foam, steel, birch plywood, oil and acrylic paint. The artist also had two notable furniture pieces, including a table titled “Heavy Hearted” made of Unakite and bronze as well as “Slurp, Snap, Arm Akimbo,” a bronze cast chair that was made in an edition of eight with four artist proofs. Carole Hochman, director, said the gallery “sold several works and found amazing support for young designers Misha Kahn and Jonathan Trayte.” A collection of ceramics from French artist Roger Capron graced the back walls of New York City’s Lost City Arts. Gallery owner James Elkind and gallery director Martin Greenstein were on hand with the collection, which also included a rare Viking chair from Oluf Lund and bronze sculptures from Harry Bertoia. Looking ahead to the 2019 show, Jill Bokor hopes to add a few more international galleries from outside Europe to create a more expansive exhibition of design coming from all corners of the world, Asia and Australia among them.

These designers are forcing the world to rethink what African furniture should look like By Lynsey Chutel
Sitting pretty: Athi Patra Ruga’s ‘Miss Azania’ adorned the walls of the Southern Guild stand.
Culturally, Africa is having a real moment. In the last few years, fashion, films, music and art from the continent have punctured the outdated image the west has of an African aesthetic. Now, the household has become the latest area showcasing contemporary design. For the first time, South African designers were represented at the prestigious The Salon Art + Design showcase in New York City. Held mid-November, The Salon featured art and furniture ranging from abstract, deco, modern and post-modern styles to the new voices of groundbreaking design. The Southern Guild was the only African gallery among mainly European and American exhibitors. Held at the Park Avenue Armory in New York City, the fair gave collectors an intimate feel of upcoming trends. While these are not the couches you’ll find in your average living room, these artworks-as-furniture set the trend for what will trickle down to the mass market, which is why it’s important for African designers to be seen here. https://qz.com/africa/1473602/these-designers-are-forcing-the-world-to-rethink-what-african-furniture-should-looklike/
Rich Mnisi’s ‘Nwa Mulamula’ chaise.
In her fifteen years in the industry, Southern Guild co-founder Trevyn McGowan has noticed an increasing “turning of the gaze” toward Africa. International design is not only beginning to appreciate the continent’s offering, but also engaging with what contemporary designers have to say through their work, and avoiding the clichés of what the world thinks African furniture should look like. Even in an ever-changing design space, these pieces challenge what people thought they would see walked over to an exhibition stand from South Africa.
‘A piece of furniture made of brick’ by the Gregor Jenkin Studio.
A Cape Town-based high-end design gallery, Southern Guild works closely with the designers they represent, guiding the process from idea to execution where needed. To compete on the global stage, a high level of quality and attention to detail and finish is required, she tells Quartz. Ultimately though, to stand out in an international catalogue, designers must be brave enough to tell their story and show the world who they are and where they come from. https://qz.com/africa/1473602/these-designers-are-forcing-the-world-to-rethink-what-african-furniture-should-looklike/
‘Isigezenga’ by ceramicist Andile Dyalvane.
“You’re here amongst the most important names in the world, your work is accepted at this level but how do you distinguish between the galleries?” McGowan would tell the designers. “You cannot blend in and you cannot assimilate a global aesthetic, you have to stand out by being authentically yourself.” The South African stand got the attention of attendees. In previews, ceramics by Andile Dyalvane had the art world rethinking village life. At the exhibition, designer Rich Mnisi’s Nwa-Mulamula twisting black leather chaise and accompanying side-table in the shape of a hovering crying eye—designed to honor generations of hardworking black women—caught the eye of The New York Times. Featuring Porky Hefer’s enveloping suspended nest, one of artist Athi Patra Ruga’s fantasy photographic portraits and the deceptively simple server titled “A piece of furniture made of brick” by Gregor Jenkin, Southern Guild’s stand was hailed for taking design “well beyond domestic comfort.”

SOUTH AFRICA’S SOUTHERN GUILD AT NYC’S THE SALON ART + DESIGN By Staff Writer
Cape Town‘s Southern Guild was the only African design representative at NYC’s high-end showcase, The Salon Art + Design in mid-November. And, as Lynsey Chutel points out for Quartz, the gallery presented furniture that “punctured the outdated image the west has of an African aesthetic.” Southern Guild makes clear that it’s important African design maintains attention—and a competitive edge—on a fickle global design stage. Further, the work they showcased reflected the values of the artist and their community. From CH favorite Porky Hefer‘s piece to “A piece of furniture made of brick” by the Gregor Jenkin Studio, the entire installation was a true stand-out in the intimate setting—and marked a continued force in the world of design.

An interview with Trevyn and Julian McGowan from ground-breaking design gallery Southern Guild By Staff Writer
'Woven Forms' featuring the Haas Brothers rug designs Photo by Hayden Phipps
If your fingers are on the pulse of the wild and exuberant beast that is the international design scene, then you know that African design is on the rise. Not only are we outside of the continent finally getting to see more of the rich and aesthetically varied traditional craft that African artisans have been producing for generations, but we're also catching glimpses of the new, avant garde African design movement that's brewing. And right at the forefront of this evolving design revolution is the South African couple Trevyn and Julian McGowan, cofounders of the design gallery and all-around African design tour-de-force, Southern Guild. Ahead of their much anticipated installation at Design Miami next week, we caught up with Trevyn and Julian to get some insights into their approach to southern African design curating and collecting. Celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, Southern Guild remains the only gallery of its kind in South Africa— representing locally made collectible design—proving just how ahead of its time the project really was. “The recent surge in interest in African design doesn’t surprise us,” say the McGowans. “People are hungry for authenticity, a human connection, and a deeper story in the things that they surround themselves with." The husband and wife team recognise that they represent something new to the more established design world. “Our sense of form, our handmade manipulation of everyday materials, the way nature and landscape permeate everything we do all stand in contrast to Europe’s more resolved, industrialized approach to design.”
https://www.pamono.com/stories/all-eyes-on-africa-southern-guild-gallery
Now located in the über-hip Silo District on the harbour in Cape Town, right next to the gob-smacking Thomas Heatherwick building housing the new Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa (MOCAA), Southern Guild's chic showroom hosts curated exhibitions of southern African artists and designers—the revelatory work of textile artist and sculptor Athi-Patra Ruga being amongst this writer’s favourites. The gallery’s mission is to encourage “the creation of multifaceted work that gives vivid form and substance to the narrative of an African renaissance,” and, indeed, its aesthetic rigor has successfully launched numerous international careers for its local makers, whilst also being a driving force in introducing the wider market to African design that has flown beneath the radar for too long.
Inside Cape Town's Southern GuildPhoto © Southern Guild
Jill Bokor, executive director of The Salon Art + Design in New York where Southern Guild had a debut showing in early November, reports being “impressed by the breadth and diversity of [the gallery’s] designers and… their uncommon use of colors, materials, and form.” And she isn’t alone. Names like Mabeo, Adam Hoets, and Madoda Fani are on the lips of many a design aficionado these days, even though they were relatively unknown in Europe and North America but a few years ago. Southern Guild became the first African gallery to present at Design Miami in 2011 and has gone from strength to strength ever since. At this year’s Design Miami Basel, the gallery celebrated a sell-out booth dedicated to the work of designer Porky Hefer— and they’re following that success with a presentation at Design Miami of four of Hefer’s cocoon-like seating environments alongside additional pieces by rising stars on the African design scene.
https://www.pamono.com/stories/all-eyes-on-africa-southern-guild-gallery
As hyperbolic as it might sound, it’s hard to overstate how much of an impact Trevyn and Julian McGowan have had on the international perception of African design. Behind that out-sized legacy is an even bigger passion for what they do. "We work with the designers we do—talents like Andile Dyalvane, Dokter and Misses, Justine Mahoney, Porky Hefer, and Atang Tshikare—because their work is unlike anything else in the world; the issues they are dealing with are provocative and stimulating. Their work has a fresh relevance, but at the same time feels iconic,” Trevyn explains. Such is the McGowans’ passion, in fact, that it goes far beyond work and has joyously saturated every aspect of their lives. Their stunning home in Cape Town is full to the brim with African art and design; for them, there is no distinction between collecting for the gallery and for their private collections. “They both flow from the same impulse of wanting to be thrilled and challenged by what we see; the result takes shape through a slow and steady accumulation of work,” Julian says. Trevyn adds, “We never tire of the pieces we are surrounded by at home and in the gallery, because for us the work epitomizes the most exciting design we know.” The McGowans have been collecting for over three decades; enough time to amass an impressive and eclectic collection of contemporary and vintage furniture, inherited and acquired interior accessories, and a whole lot of eye-catching design objects, all whilst learning some valuable lessons along the way. “With the exception of the antiques, we know every person who made each piece. Every object has a narrative and a memory behind it,” muses Julian. His advice to younger collectors? “Be authentic—go after things you love and don’t feel you have to stick to just one period or theme or look. If you care about these things, you will naturally go after things that work together, but don’t get caught up worrying about that. Keep it as personal as you can.” As for Trevyn, she advocates buying work “that has a narrative you connect with. Sometimes your feelings about a work can be complicated—you can be attracted and repelled by something at the same time—and often that can bring more longevity in the work.” Eschewing the surface satisfaction of simpler aesthetics, Trevyn encourages collectors to “look for pieces that are challenging rather than just pretty or attractive.” We couldn’t agree more; work that goes beyond a momentary pleasure to truly spark new thoughts and even the occasional life-changing epiphany is what the best of the design world is all about. And in case you were looking for a few hot tips from one of the most exciting design markets around the globe, well, we’re thrilled to bring you a hand-picked list of three of the pieces that the McGowan’s are most enamored with at the moment.

James Brown by Porky Hefer “The whole family can fit inside and on top of this incredible cocooning and humorous piece—a place for lounging, reading, playing, climbing, swinging, or sleeping,” enthuses Julian. You'll find this piece in Southern Guild’s booth at Design Miami!
D3 Haywire Chandelier by David Krynauw "This graphic, ridged version of David’s iconic Haywire Chandelier strikes a chord that feels both African and contemporary. The original design is one of our most sought-after pieces,” says Trevyn.

Extra Terrestrial Table by sculptor-designer Stanislaw Trzebinski Representing a shift towards otherworldly, organic forms in his work, this piece impresses the McGowans with the balance it strikes between the ancient and the futuristic, as well as the diversity of scale, form, and shape that Trzebinski’s fresh works are demonstrating. “This would be a very exciting time to acquire Stanislaw’s work—the early phase that’s triggering a new direction,” they advise.
