Sneak a Peek at the Exceptional Pieces Coming to Salon Art + Design 2024 The fair returns to New York’s Park Avenue Armory this month with new leadership and a new energy. By Fred A. Bernstein
https://www.1stdibs.com/introspective-magazine/salon-art-and-design-2024/
November 3, 2024“I’m building on the work of pioneers,” says Nicky Dessources, executive director of Salon Art + Design, the annual New York furniture and fine art fair. She is referring to Sanford Smith, who founded Salon in 2012, and Jill Bokor, its previous executive director. Smith, known to friends as Sandy, died in May, robbing the art world of a largerthan-life impresario. But he would be happy with how the 13th edition of Salon is shaping up. The fair, which opens on November 7 with a benefit for the Dia Art Foundation and runs through November 11, will welcome nearly 40 returning exhibitors and a dozen first-timers in the 60,000-square-foot Wade Thompson Drill Hall of the Park Avenue Armory.

Dessources, whose background is in architecture and photography, was in charge of operations and logistics for Salon for seven years. “My falling in love with design happened as a result of my involvement in Salon,” she says. Now, she wants others to experience that passion. One way to make that happen is to show visitors how designers work. So, part of the armory’s foyer — whose displays serve as a prelude to the dealers’ booths inside the drill hall — will be devoted to Giancarlo Valle’s study models. Valle, who founded his Manhattan-based interiors firm in 2016, builds rooms filled with his own sometimes whimsical furniture at 1/12 scale, as a way to test ideas. Designing on computers is efficient, “but you don’t have to contend with gravity on a screen,” he explains, adding that, by contrast, “models don’t lie.” To Dessources, a better understanding of process translates into greater appreciation of the finished product.
Some 50 dealers will be bringing standout works to the armory’s Wade Thompson Drill Hall. Pictured here is the drill hall filled with Salon exhibitors in 2023. Photo courtesy of Salon Art + Design
Another goal, she says, is to make Salon feel welcoming. For help, she enlisted Brad Thornton, who founded the interior design firm Thornton Projects in 2021. Before that, he spent 10 years at 1stDibs supporting some of the most celebrated names in design, including Kelly Wearstler, Jeremiah Brent, William Sofield, Ken Fulk and Nicole Hollis. Now, he is working with Salon to transform the armory’s foyer with furniture, art and autumnal floral installations by Audrey Hilfiger, of New York’s Audrey in the Garden. Says Hilfiger, “We will be adorning the staircases with fall foliage and blooms, accompanied by nine-foot floral pillars, along with seasonal branches in urns that add grandeur and warmth to the entire setting.” https://www.1stdibs.com/introspective-magazine/salon-art-and-design-2024/

Love House, a Greenwich Village design gallery, will anchor the North Hall with a pair of alabaster monoliths by Marcus Vinicius De Paula, a Brazilian-American, California-born and New York–based sculptor. Each of the rectangular blocks stands about four feet tall and has channels for LED lights. Tribeca design gallery Superhouse will showcase cast-bronze table lamps by Marcelo Suro, a Guadalajara-born, Savannah-based designer. The Dalí-esque Fool’s Gold lamp shines light in multiple directions, supplying atmosphere along with illumination.

Photo by Joe Kramm In the South Hall, the Female Design Council, founded in 2018 to promote the work of women, will feature lighting, textiles, glassware and furniture created by its members. Two of them, Helena and Natasha Sultan, the mother-daughter creative directors of Konekt, will be showing their powerfully geometric Silo console table in oil-rubbed bronze with a blackened-ash top.

Down the hallway, frenchCALIFORNIA, founded by Paris-born, New York–based interior designer Guillaume Coutheillas, will turn the armory’s Board of Officers Room, one of the few surviving interiors by the Herter Brothers (active 1864 to 1906), into the frenchCALIFORNIA Parlor, a salon-slash-speakeasy where guests can socialize, relax and attend live programs. Coutheillas will use new furniture from Natuzzi Italia (including Memoria, a curved modular sofa by Karim Rashid) and Bang & Olufsen sound and video equipment. An Alpange piano, the musical equivalent of a self-driving car, will provide accompaniment. Coutheillas says what the instrument does and how it looks are both “amazing.”

Bossa Furniture

Inside the giant drill hall, galleries will be bringing their A game. Bossa, a dealer in Brazilian modern furniture, will be offering some pieces that took years to restore at its São Paulo workshop. Founder Isabela Milagre, who opened a Lower Manhattan gallery in March, says Salon will be her first real chance to meet American collectors and interior designers. Accompanying her will be pieces from firms that, she says, “were instrumental in the development of modern design in Brazil but have since been largely forgotten.” One is a 12foot-long credenza made by L’Atelier, a company owned by Jorge Zalszupin; the piece was created for Zalszupin’s own house. Another is a desk by the Italian master Franco Albini brought to Brazil by Arturo and Enrica Profili, founders of São Paulo’s Galleria Sistina, when they emigrated from Italy after World War II. Humbler but no less beautiful is Lina Bo Bardi’s SESC stool, designed for her SESC Pompéia community center.

Donzella

mong the Salon veterans, Manhattan dealer Paul Donzella is showing two gorgeous tables that couldn’t be more different despite both being the work of 20th-century Italian designers. One, a circa 1976 brushed-steel coffee table with leaf-like polished-steel extensions by Gabriella Crespi (1922–2017), is almost industrial; the other, a dining table with a carvedpine base that suggests antlers, circa 1995 and attributed to Pierluigi Giordani (1924–2011), is powerfully naturalistic. In recent years, Donzella has extended his focus to ceramics. Making the two-mile trip from his Lexington Avenue gallery is a 42-inch Chris Gustin vessel suggesting a cloud or a bunch of balloons. Gustin is a Chicago native raised in California and now living in Massachusetts whose work is in dozens of museum collections.
https://www.1stdibs.com/introspective-magazine/salon-art-and-design-2024/
Liz O’Brien
Pinch pots by Paul Briggs, like this 2024 vase titled Whorl 1, will be among the gems offered by Liz O’Brien.
Liz O’Brien is also highlighting ceramics, specifically a range of pinch pots by Paul Briggs, who discovered clay as a high-school student in the Hudson Valley and never looked back. https://www.1stdibs.com/introspective-magazine/salon-art-and-design-2024/
Each pot is made of a single ball of clay that Briggs neither adds to nor subtracts from but rather teases out into petals or leaves. Rounding out O’Brien’s ceramics collection will be work by Irish artists, including two who are new to Salon: Nuala O’Donovan, who creates botanical wall pieces of unglazed porcelain, and Jennifer Hickey, who sews hundreds of porcelain wafers into delicate assemblages. Another treasure is a circa 1943 drop-leaf secretaire by American designer Samuel Marx (1885–1964). With its crackled lacquer finish and a row of arched-shaped nooks inside, it inspired interior designer Brian McCarthy’s concept for the booth, which features a series of arches framing the objets d’art. Victoria Yakusha
Victoria Yakusha’s special exhibition in the armory’s drill hall will include her PLYN Sofa. Photo courtesy of Victoria Yakusha
Ukrainian artist and entrepreneur Victoria Yakusha will be showing several new bodies of work in a special exhibition. Her PLYN Sofa resembles three large stones but feels like the foam rubber that wraps its wooden frame. Her Tiara Vases, meanwhile, look like foam rubber but feel like stone. They’re made of ztista, the artist’s name for a moldable “dough” made of recycled metal, cellulose, wood chips and clay that hardens as it dries. In shapes derived from mythology and adorned with topazes from the Volyn province of northwestern Ukraine, the pieces represent the past, present and future of that country.

J. Lohmann Gallery
Jongjin Park’s Blue Patchwork, offered by J. Lohmann Gallery, looks like it’s made of fabric but is actually sculpted in porcelain. Photo courtesy of J. Lohmann Gallery
J. Lohmann Gallery will present a collection of contemporary ceramic and glass works. Highlights include wall-mounted porcelain assemblages reminiscent of rippling waves or coral, by emerging British artist Sara Dodd, and sculptures by Michèle Oberdieck that she describes as “imagined glass plants” and says are “meant to question the effects of climate change.” Another standout is Jongjin Park’s Blue Patchwork, a foot-high sculpture that makes porcelain look like stacks of fabric swatches.

Thomas Cooper Studio
Thomas Cooper Studio’s Threaded pendant light is available in multiple lengths.
New Zealanders Sally Thomas Cooper, an accomplished weaver and textile artist, and Jason Kai Cooper, whose background is in theater, lighting and product design, are the forces behind the Los Angeles firm Thomas Cooper Studio. They will be debuting a Dalí-inspired mirror available with frames of black or white French plaster. The firm will also unveil two new light fixtures that seem to reflect opposite sensibilities: Alma, a slab of alabaster in the grasp of a brutalist-inspired cast-bronze frame, and Threaded, a joyful series of bead-like hand-blown-glass elements on a steel rod.

Todd Merrill Studio
Todd Merrill is bringing lighting by Markus Haase, including a piece from his Circlet series. Photo courtesy of Todd Merrill Studio
Don’t expect to see a lot of right angles among the Todd Merrill Studio offerings this year. John Procario’s new sofa features sweeping horizontal and vertical curves, like a Vladimir Kagan taken to another dimension. And hanging over the sofa will be a large freeform chandelier called Medusa and suggesting the mythical figure’s mane. It’s a tour de force by Markus Haase, who worked marble, onyx and bronze into a seamless sculpture lined with LEDs. It will be accompanied by a pendant in aluminum and marble from Haase’s Circlet series. The booth will also contain tables by Hervé Obligi, who is new to the studio. Obligi, based in Montreuil, France, is known as a glyptician and a marquetarian (respectively, a gem sculptor and an inlay master), and he applied both skills to the round tabletops. Jamie Harris’s light fixtures are hanging totems of blown-glass orbs. Draga & Aurel, a Como, Italy– based couple, combine elements of Space Age design and Op art with minimalism’s clean lines to create colorful Lucite fixtures.

Maison Gerard

It’s fitting that Maison Gerard will be showing works that made their debut at another salon, the 1927 Salon d’Automne, in Paris, which gave them instant cachet. The pair of glazedstoneware bas-reliefs are the work of François-Émile Popineau (1887–1951), who, as the official sculptor of Bourges, in central France, created statues for parks and gardens and war memorials, plus an impressive bas-relief for the facade of the city’s Maison de la Culture. Before being acquired by the gallery, the 44-by-65-inch panels, which depict the Three Graces, were recessed into opposite walls of a living room in Bourges. Maison Gerard’s proprietor, Benoist F. Drut, says similar architectural panels have been destroyed, plastered over or removed and then lost, making it “quite remarkable to be able to showcase this pair.” The gallery will also be presenting several bronze-and-LED-light sculptures by the Irish artist Niamh Barry, as well as a new bench by Paris-based designer Marc Bankowsky, its six gilt-bronze legs inspired by the great dancer Nijinsky.

Nilufar

Nilufar, the 45-year-old Milan-based gallery, is creating a dialogue between vintage and contemporary pieces. Among the former are an Ettore Sottsass mirror (1958), a pair of Model 589 armchairs by Gio Ponti for Cassina (1955) and a 1960s Arteluce ceiling lamp Model 2045 in lacquered brass by the Milan-based architecture firm B.B.P.R. Nilufar’s contemporary designers include Italy’s Andrea Mancuso, of Analogia Project, who will be unveiling her Terrario collection, created especially for Salon Art + Design. Its pieces range from table bases to mirror frames encrusted with shell-like porcelain disks, in colors from vibrant orange to deep brown.
https://www.1stdibs.com/introspective-magazine/salon-art-and-design-2024/
Lobel Modern
A number of pieces by Philip and Kelvin LaVerne, including this 1970s Tao cabinet, will anchor the Lobel Modern booth.
Manhattan gallerist Evan Lobel recently published Alchemy: The Art of Philip and Kelvin LaVerne, a 300-page coffee-table book about the father-and-son artists whose work Lobel has shown for more than 20 years. Working with Kelvin LaVerne on the book, he came away more impressed than ever. “The LaVernes were not just artists, they were also chemists and physicists,” he says. Their process, which Lobel describes as “immensely complicated,” included burying their bronze pieces in soil to get just the right patina — “but they weren’t happy until they had tried soils from all over the world.” At Salon, Lobel will be showing several important Laverne works, including the large 1970s four-door Tao cabinet in patinated bronze and pewter, with scenes of China rendered in enamel, and Grace and Harmony, a highly unusual pair of illuminated sculptures made of complex tubular branches welded onto bronze trunks. Lobel, actor Julianne Moore and interior designer David Kleinberg will discuss the breadth and impact of the duo’s work at a panel moderated by New York Magazine’s Wendy Goodman on November 9 at 3 p.m.
https://www.1stdibs.com/introspective-magazine/salon-art-and-design-2024/
Lobel will also show a pair of illuminated LaVerne scupltures, called Grace and Harmony.
The same day at noon, 1stDibs editorial director Anthony Barzilay Freund will lead a discussion with multidisciplinary artist Michele Oka Doner and influential art adviser Allan Schwartzman titled “Creative Synergies: Blurring the Boundaries between Design, Jewelry, and Art.” With the artworks installed and the panelists lined up, the last ingredients of a successful fair are the collectors. “Salon is great for seeing lots of people,” says Donzella. “You just never know who’s going to walk into your booth.”

Il principio è noto pressoché a chiunque: “Nulla si crea, nulla si distrugge, tutto si trasforma”. Un assioma che per l’AD100 Giancarlo Valle si rivela attraverso una pratica intuitiva e gestuale. Da sempre traduce fedelmente ogni suo progetto in un modello in scala. «È un esercizio che non ho mai dimenticato dal mio passato di studente», confida Valle e continua: «Una prassi del settore raramente impiegata nello sviluppo di interni. È il mio modo di creare la mia personale versione di algoritmo, dove i riferimenti non sono viziati da alcun apporto esterno». Qui ciascun plastico diventa uno straordinario strumento di editing in grado di sperimentare nuove idee sotto un’efficace lente architettonica. Soluzioni fortuite e imprevisti si alternano di miniatura in miniatura, seguendo
l’andamento di mani, talvolta esitanti, altre ancora ferme e decisive. «Come uno chef, ho i miei ingredienti preferiti. Vivo per trovare nuovi accostamenti di sapore. Spesso antitetici». Questi diorami, fatti a mano in-house, funzionano come uno sketchbook, dove a un quesito corrisponde una risposta compositiva tangibile. «A volte è una sedia a dettare il resto della stanza. In altri casi è la stanza a richiedere un nuovo tipo di seduta». L’immaginazione ha un ruolo fondamentale in questo processo tanto istintivo quanto intenzionale. «Il creativo ha bisogno di confrontarsi con elementi inaspettati. Orientarsi tra combinazioni di arredi e spazi rende la conversazione mai del tutto prevedibile. Dai momenti di frizione, di totale impasse, traggo maggior soddisfazione. Nessuna idea svanisce davvero. Aleggia sempre nella

In occasione della tredicesima edizione di Salon Art + Design, dal 7 all’11 novembre al Park Avenue Armory di New York, Studio Giancarlo Valle presenta l’installazione Miniatures, una rassegna ragionata di più di cento maquette. «Ho scelto di raccontare il mio immaginario in chiave totalmente analogica, partendo proprio dagli oggetti che più di altri testimoniano l’evoluzione dialogica e strutturale di ogni commissione». Diversamente da quanto si potrebbe credere, le riproduzioni non trasmettono alcunché di nostalgico. Sono storie vere, scorci tascabili di legno e cartone, in cui il tempo sembra sospeso e tutto è là, nella posizione esatta in cui qualcuno l’ha sognato. Da un patio nei Caraibi a una galleria al 50 di Lispenard street, passando prima attraverso un living in Connecticut. Certo, il tragitto non è mai stato tanto breve. È bastato appena un colpo d’occhio. Miniatures inaugura a sua volta un viaggio tascabile nell’antologia di arredi

È facile tornare bambini, svelando singolari analogie tattili tra carapaci delle Galapagos e i coffee table Jane e Elena, in un duello cromatico di negativo e positivo. Viene allora naturale chiedersi quanti siano veramente questi ritagli di vita. Dagli esordi a oggi Valle li custodisce nel suo archivio personale
in costante espansione e riorganizzazione. Complementi d’arredo e architettura si fanno interpreti di un inesauribile campionario di simboli. Giancarlo Valle condensa nei suoi piccoli spazi, ora ariosi ora raccolti, il proprio sentire. Il vocabolario personale dell’atelier è scandagliato filologicamente attraverso un’esperienza di scoperta maieutica. Con allusioni en passant Studio Giancarlo Valle indaga i punti d’incontro tra funzionalità ed estetica, riportandoci all’emotività più intima. ○

Having a Moment Silver Is Serving—Again! Why This Nostalgic Tabletop Trend Will Never Tarnish Today’s top hosts prove these heirlooms are still seriously chic By Hannah Martin

Last spring, I sat at a long dining table on the sidewalk outside of artist Laila Gohar’s studio in Chinatown, New York, feasting on suckling pig and Canetta, a buzzy new brand of canned wine. What I really remember was not the food or, I confess, the wine, but the ice bucket— an Art Nouveau Christofle vasque decorated with blooming anemone. That was the moment I began to notice: serving up food and drinks on hefty silver no longer felt passé. In fact, the timeworn pieces lent a dash of gravitas to an otherwise casual sidewalk gathering.

Silver—a material whose antibacterial properties lend it to culinary use—has been a tabletop status symbol since ancient times. Through the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries, as silversmithing entered its heyday across Europe, elaborate table services were an indication of social standing and wealth—after all, the material corresponded directly to currency in many nations. (That said, some of history’s most captivating examples were melted down by their owners due to changing styles or, more commonly, to refill depleted state treasuries.) Even in the 20th century, silver still dazzled on the tables of those who could afford it, and a https://www.architecturaldigest.com/story/silver-is-serving-again?_sp=35ff78f5d4ba-4e00-bb3c-d063a9ec9ff3.1719324831805
woman might inherit her mother or grandmother’s service and then pass it on to her own daughter in due time. But in recent decades, a younger generation has been ditching the heavy metal table wares, gravitating towards a more casual, contemporary aesthetic. But hold on to that silver, people, the pendulum is mid-swing back in its direction.

“I only host with vintage silverware, whether sourced from my grandmother’s dusty cupboard or vintage flea markets on my travels,” says Clara Cornet, who works at Meta and cofounded the aforementioned Canetta with her husband Luca Pronzato. (You’ll also see a lot of silver at his roving dinner series, We Are Ona.) When they began launching these cute canned natural wines, they wanted to showcase the product alongside pieces made with a similar level of craftsmanship. “Vintage means ‘vin d’âge’—aging wine,” explains Cornet, who has a thing for vintage Christofle silver in particular. “It’s so interestingly crafted, almost baroque. We love the contrast with the aluminum cans.”

The resurgence seems to align with a recent repositioning of heritage silver brands. Names like Tiffany & Co., Buccellati, and the aforementioned Christofle are increasingly on the lips of a younger entertaining crowd. As if on cue, this past spring, the 200-year-old Christofle launched La Collection Vintage at the New York gallery Demisch Danant, showing off archival pieces like a late 19th-century candy basket that looks like it’s woven from silver and a circa1925 gravy boat by Christian Fjerdingstad, first exhibited at the Exposition Nationale des https://www.architecturaldigest.com/story/silver-is-serving-again?_sp=35ff78f5d4ba-4e00-bb3c-d063a9ec9ff3.1719324831805

“They're timeless,” says Gohar of the silver serving pieces often incorporated into her imaginative tablescapes and food sculptures. “It’s traditional in Egypt to pass silver pieces down from mothers to daughters, so a lot of mine are heirlooms from my mother and grandmother.” At her events, a silver platter might hold a suite of sardines (part of Gohar World’s new venture Gohar Food) or a birthday cake for her son, Paz. Their line, Gohar (Old) World, sells vintage pieces like butter curlers, tureens, and egg cups, which Gohar likes to mix in with more modern designs.

Designer-influencer Athena Calderone is yet another member of the silver fan club. This past spring, as she launched her latest Beni Rugs designs at her new Tribeca home, an elaborate spread by Andy Baraghani was displayed on sterling silver platters. “I’ve been collecting vintage silver candlesticks and flatware for years from resale sites, antique stores, and auctions,” she explains. “It feels like investing in future heirlooms—a collection that can be passed down for generations.”

This uptick in interest has already started to register at auction. “I’ve seen a growing excitement for Chinese export silver,” explains Alessandra Merrill, a silver specialist at Sotheby’s. “We’re also seeing strong results for characterful or unusual pieces.” Case in point: The highest earning lot in their recent auction of Alan and Simone Hartman’s collection was a set of silver gilt wine coolers from 1811 which fetched a whopping $312,000. Meanwhile, a George I silver punch bowl from 1719 soared far over the estimate at $30,000. A few months back when AD100 interior designer Adam Charlap Hyman was asked to select his favorites from Sotheby’s recent Classic Design auction, a gleaming Buccellati lobster (it went for $17,780) was among his picks—the fad for those crustaceans is another story. Merrill notes that, with the strength of the luxury division, silver pieces by brands like Buccellati, Cartier, Hermès, Bulgari, and Tiffany are often heavy hitters on the secondary market.

Online marketplaces are also making a bid for silver. “I think younger generations embrace using objects that would traditionally have been put on a shelf to look at,” says Bryony Sheridan, buying director at online retailer Abask, which has seen steady growth in the appetite for silver pieces on their site since launching in 2022. “Plus, because silver holds its worth, it’s a great investment.” At Salon Art + Design last November they showed a wide selection of silver pieces in their grass green booth, mixing works from sixth-generation Viennese silversmiths Jarosinski & Vaugoin with contemporary pieces from Zanetto and Brandimarte and 1960s pieces by the likes of Tage Göthlin. Musing on the precious metal’s latest renaissance, Gohar explains simply: “It’s all cyclical. Before we saw sleek, minimal designs that looked industrial as popular and now we’re returning to things that are more ornate.”

Weaving together artworks by four artists made over centuries and across the Atlantic, this exhibition follows a genealogical thread united by the sea,” the museum notes. Deep Waters: Four Artists and the Sea runs from November 9, 2024, to November 9, 2025.

Victoria Yakusha’s ‘live minimalism’ brings Ukrainian resilience to Salon Art + Design By Avalon Ashley Bellos
https://www.amny.com/entertainment/arts-entertainment/victoria-yakushaukranian-salon-art-design/

In a city where concrete hums with its own kind of rhythm, Salon Art + Design stepped in to shake things up last week, transforming New York’s Park Avenue Armory into a playground of form, texture, and history. Under the fresh vision of Executive Director Nicky Dessources, the fair’s 13th edition marked a thrilling blend of past and present. With nearly 50 exhibitors spanning vintage, modern, and contemporary design—and a special focus on emerging voices—Dessources invited us to see design through a wider, more daring lens. Tradition met innovation, creating a platform where design’s storytelling power took center stage. Among the grand cast of exhibitors, there was Victoria Yakusha, the cherry-cheeked Ukrainian designer who pulled me in with her infectious smile. Here’s the thing about https://www.amny.com/entertainment/arts-entertainment/victoria-yakushaukranian-salon-art-design/
Yakusha: she doesn’t just exhibit; she transports you. Her “live minimalism” philosophy resonates like a heartbeat through her work, blending nature’s endurance with minimalist beauty. It was her joy that first drew me in, but it was her grounded, contrary aesthetic that held me spellbound — a juxtaposition that seemed to perfectly echo the Salon’s new direction.
Victoria Yakusha with her art Photo by Peter Baker/provided
Yakusha’s debut at Salon Art + Design wasn’t simply a showcase; it was a bold statement about Ukrainian identity and resilience. Like those in the PLYN collection, her pieces embody an enduring calm — smooth, river-worn stones rendered in tactile, fluid forms, rooted in her memories of the Dnipro River. https://www.amny.com/entertainment/arts-entertainment/victoria-yakushaukranian-salon-art-design/
This collection, with its undulating, nature-inspired shapes, feels like a silent rebellion against the slickness of modern design, embracing the rugged beauty of nature’s hand. It’s not just Yakusha’s work that does the talking; it’s the stories of her fellow Ukrainian designers, each breathing life into cultural memories. Tetiana Krasutska’s TYSHA chest of drawers evokes the peaceful lull of waves on a beach from a distant childhood. At the same time, Serhiy and Anna Baiersdorf’s AKEBIA lamps bring a playful lightness, like wildflowers blooming in unexpected places. Each piece has a clear spirit of place — a connection to the earth, memories, and a shared heritage that feels both tender and tenacious.

Dessources’ vision for Salon this year wove seamlessly with Yakusha’s art: both honor tradition while nudging it forward. While Dessources may be new, her impact was palpable, encouraging exhibitors like Yakusha to challenge conventions, explore new materials, and reach deeper into their roots. Yakusha’s work responds to this call and reminds us that design doesn’t just fill a space; it whispers a history and holds a heartbeat. For those as enchanted as I was, Yakusha’s journey and creations live on through her Instagram handle, @yakusha.studio. Each post is a window into her world — a place where Ukrainian heritage meets a minimalist ethos, where resilience finds form in the tactile, and where every curve and texture tells a story that defies the transience of trends. https://www.amny.com/entertainment/arts-entertainment/victoria-yakushaukranian-salon-art-design/
In Yakusha’s hands — and under Dessources’ fresh guidance — Salon Art + Design became more than a fair. It was a reminder of what design can be: an homage to the earth and to identity, a celebration of memory, and a testament to a beauty that endures. It wasn’t just an exhibition; it was an invitation to reconnect, marvel, and hold onto what roots us.

Dolman will assume a newly created position that combines both his current role and the chief executive officer (CEO) position. Dolman stepped down as the house’s CEO in 2021. Having held executive positions at the Qatar Museums and Christie’s, he led Phillips, the smallest of the big three auction houses, through a period of intense growth that began in 2014. The departure of its former CEO Stephen Brooks in December 2023 has led Phillips to reorganize some of its executive staff. Amanda Lo Iacono, who for the past two years has overseen the house’s Twentieth Century and contemporary art departments across New York, London and Shanghai, has been appointed to the newly created role of deputy chief executive officer.

NYC Museum Closes Two Native American Halls; Harvard & Others Take Similar Steps

BY PHILIP MARCELO, ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK CITY — New York’s American Museum of Natural History is closing two halls featuring Native American objects starting on January 27, acknowledging the exhibits are “severely outdated” and contain culturally sensitive items. The mammoth complex across from Central Park on Manhattan’s Upper West Side is the latest US institution to cover up or remove Native American exhibits to comply with recently revamped federal regulations dealing with the display of Indigenous human remains and cultural items. The museum said in October that it would pull all human remains from public display, with the aim
of eventually repatriating as much as it could to Native American tribes and other rightful owners. Sean Decatur, the museum’s president, said in a letter to staff

Mellon Foundation Gives $1 Million To US Pavilion At 2024 Venice Biennale
PORTLAND, ORE. and SANTA FE, N.M. — Portland Art Museum (PAM) in Oregon and SITE Sante Fe (SITE) in New Mexico, the commissioning institutions of the US Pavilion at the 60th International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia, announced that the Mellon Foundation will serve as the presenting sponsor for “Jeffrey Gibson: the space in which to place me,” thanks to a lead gift of $1 million. On view from April 20 through November 24, “Jeffrey Gibson: the space in which to place me” is presented by PAM and SITE, in cooperation with the US Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs. Celebrated for an artistic practice that combines American, Indigenous and Queer histories with inf luences from music and pop culture, Gib-
son creates a dynamic visual language that invites deep ref lection on identity, inspires empathy and advocates for a widening of access to democracy and freedom for all. Gibson is a member of the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians and of Cherokee descent. This exhibition represents the first major opportunity for audiences to experience his work outside of the United States and marks the first solo exhibition for an Indigenous artist representing the United States at the Biennale Arte. As the nation’s largest supporter of the arts and humanities, the Mellon Foundation seeks to build just and meaningful communities, and is dedicated to supporting artists across disciplines while creating a more robust and representative artistic ecosystem. For the 2024 US Pavilion, Gibson
will activate the interior and exterior of the building with a series of new and recent works that invite ref lection on individual and collective identities, including sculpture, paintings, multimedia work and a site-specific installation activating the pavilion’s courtyard. The project is commissioned by Kathleen Ash-Milby, curator of Native American art at the Portland Art Museum and a member of the Navajo Nation; Louis Grachos, Phillips executive director of SITE Santa Fe; and Abigail Winograd, independent curator; and is cocurated by Ash-Milby and Winograd. This exhibition is also the first to be commissioned and cocurated by a Native American curator. For additional information on the 2024 US Pavilion, www.jeffreygibsonvenice2024.org.

At Salon Art + Design, New Dealers, Programming & Fresh Leadership
NEW YORK CITY — Salon Art + Design, the collectible design and art fair produced by Sanford L. Smith Associates, announced its 13th edition taking place at the Park Avenue Armory from November 7-11. Salon Art + Design has established itself as the foremost platform for showcasing, acquiring and engaging with the finest in design and art from around the world. A cornerstone of New York City’s fall arts calendar, this year’s Salon is under the leadership of new executive director Nicky Dessources, who will introduce new exhibitors alongside special presentations of collectible design from established and upcoming makers. Former executive director Jill Bokor remains with the fair as chairwoman emeritus, working closely in collaboration with Dessources. With nearly 50 distinguished exhibitors from across the globe, Salon Art + Design showcases a range of design, from vintage and modern to contemporary, alongside blue-chip Twentieth Century art. The fair features a diverse selection of pieces, including fur-

niture, studio glass, ceramics, Japanese art and jewelry, and sets itself apart with its fusion of historic and avant-garde contemporary collectible design and fine art. Much like distinguished interior designers who create innovative and eclectic spaces for their discerning clients, exhibitors at Salon Art + Design are invited to craft immersive settings that reflect the vibrant and evolving ways we decorate and live today. Under the leadership of Dessources, Salon Art + Design unveils a vibrant roster of exhibi-
tors, featuring numerous firsttime galleries, including Galerie Anne Jacquemin Sablon, Bossa, Crosta Smith Gallery, Elisabetta Cipriani | Wearable Art, Fernando Jorge, Galerie CC - Castelin Cattin, Ippodo Gallery, Room57 Gallery, Thomas Colville Fine Art and Weinberg Modern. This year’s fair is enriched with innovative programming and distinctive design installations from both independent creators and prestigious design brands, showcased not only in the historic rooms at the armory’s entrance,
but also throughout the Drill Hall. Designers creating these special installations include Atelier FM, Natuzzi, Victoria Yakusha Gallery, Thomas Cooper Studio and more. While the fair is renowned for showcasing new exhibitors and diverse voices in design, Salon welcomes back longstanding participants such as Bernard Goldberg Fine Arts, David Gill Gallery, Donzella Ltd., Galerie Marcilhac, Galerie ChastelMaréchal, Gallery FUMI, Liz O’Brien, Maison Gerard, NILUFAR, Todd Merrill Studio and Twenty First Gallery. Each year, since 2016, Salon has partnered with Dia Art Foundation, a non-profit arts organization committed to advancing, realizing and preserving the vision of artists. For 50 years, Dia Art Foundation has offered artists the time, space and support to bring ambitious projects to fruition, often beyond the scale and scope of traditional exhibition
celain was remarkably durable and technically innovative, often featuring elaborately rendered vignettes from Chinese folklore and literature. For Gilded Age collectors, possessing such precious vessels signaled their elite status and cosmopolitan worldview. “Clay Conversations” explores the resonance of this history for our times. Contemporary ceramicists Adam Chau, Patricia Encarnación, Evelyn Mtika, Karen Jaimes and Yage Wang utilize archival research, digital technologies and literary allusions to create narratively driven and functional ceramic forms. Through intricate designs and experimental shapes, the artists craft vessels that express the histories and experiences of communities often relegated to the margins of the art world. The exhibition also features a large-scale mixed-media installation, especially commissioned for “Clay Conversations,” by Yonkers-based artist Rachel Sydlowski. Drawing inspiration from the porcelain collection, Sydlowski translates their decorations into an immersive space that evokes the beauty and excess of
the Gilded Age. Alongside paintings by George Henry Hall and Ellen Lanyon, the installation examines the potential for apparently everyday ceramic forms to generate narratives of personal and global significance. The Hudson River Museum is at 511 Warburton Avenue. For information, 914-963-4550 or www.hrm.org.

The Hudson River Museum Has ‘Clay Conversations’ YONKERS, N.Y. — From antique porcelain vases to contemporary dishware generated by AI technology, “Clay Conversations” illuminates the power of ceramics to serve as vessels for personal and political expression. Juxtaposing selections from the Hudson River Museum’s (HRM) Chinese porcelain collection with the work of seven New York-based artists, the exhibition spotlights how contemporary ceramicists reference and critique the medium’s longstanding ties to themes of exclusivity and exoticism. The exhibition is on view through March 9. Perched atop bookshelves and tabletops, an assortment of porcelain vessels adorn the period rooms in the Museum’s 1877 Gilded Age home, Glenview. These seemingly quotidian ceramic forms — such as vases, jars and plates — reflect a booming global marketplace. During the late Nineteenth Century, wealthy Americans went to great lengths to acquire antique Chinese ceramics, especially blue and white porcelain from the Kangxi period of the Qing dynasty (16621722). Created for both domestic and export markets, Kangxi por-
spaces. On opening night of Salon, Dia Art Foundation kicks off the evening with an exclusive benefit hour at the fair, co-hosted by Nathalie & Laura de Gunzburg, where proceeds go towards Dia and their exhibition program. Salon and Dia will continue to evolve and strengthen this collaboration, and proceeds from last year are specifically funding the Steve McQueen exhibition, which opened at Dia Chelsea on September 20. This year’s proceeds will benefit a forthcoming Duane Linklater exhibition at Dia Chelsea, opening in 2025. For information and a full list of this year’s exhibitors, visit www. thesalonny.com.

Sanford Smith, who created numerous internationally recognized art fairs in addition to running the New York International Antiquarian Book Fair (NYIABF) from 1979 up to its recent 64th edition at the Park Avenue Armory this year, died on May 25 in Manhattan. Known as Sandy to friends and colleagues, he began collecting comic books and baseball cards as a young boy, before studying at the Universities of Pennsylvania and North Carolina and then entering the family funeral business. His passion, though, was for art and he began collecting on frequent visits to antiques shops in New York and Connecticut. Believing there was a gap in the market for well-run art fairs, he moved into creating and managing his own, additionally taking over the reins of the NYIABF, described by The Guardian newspaper as “a kind of Glastonbury for bibliophiles,” and the Ephemera Society of America’s annual fair. “Although Sandy was known mostly for his art fairs, within the book world he is well-known for creating the most prestigious and relevant antiquarian book fair anywhere,” said Webb Howell, publisher of Fine Books & Collections. “That he was an icon of the book world never got in the way of him attending to the needs of the individual, ensuring that every buyer and every seller had a good experience. My thoughts are with his family and his staff, all of whom he cared for deeply.” The New York International Antiquarian Book Fair is officially sanctioned by the Antiquarian Booksellers’ Association of America (ABAA) and the International League of Antiquarian https://www.antiquesandthearts.com/sanford-smith-producer-of-the-new-yorkantiquarian-book-fair-dies-at-84/
Booksellers (ILAB). Executive director of the ABAA Susan Benne said: “We are deeply saddened by the news of Sanford Smith’s passing. Sandy’s vision and business acumen were instrumental in elevating the ABAA’s New York Antiquarian Book Fair as the foremost event of its kind. His legacy will endure, and we have every confidence that his successors, Jennifer Stark and Nicky Dessources, will honor and further his remarkable achievements. Our heartfelt thoughts are with them, as well as with Sandy’s family, especially his sons Colin, Ian, Jared and Luc, during this difficult time.” Sandy was a popular figure among the many book dealers who regularly appeared at the NYIABF. “Sandy was more to me than a business relationship,” said Allan Stypeck, president of Second Story Books. “He was a personal and warm individual who over the years became a close friend. Both Kim and I were extremely appreciative of his kindness to our girls every year, from toddlers to teenagers, when we participated in the NY Book Fair.” Fran Durako, owner of the Kelmscott Bookshop, added: “He was always a presence at the New York Antiquarian Book Fair, and elicited both praise and concerns among exhibitors each year at this major event. The New York Antiquarian Book Fair has been very successful for its US and foreign booksellers, and Sanford Smith will be missed and will be remembered by us for his support of the antiquarian book community.” Pom Harrington from UK-based Peter Harrington said: “Sandy Smith will be greatly missed. He transformed the New York International Book Fair into a world-class event and put rare books on the map. Peter Harrington has been exhibiting at the fair since 1997, and it was always evident that Sandy ran an exceptionally sharp show. He was tough, but in a city like New York, that’s what it takes to get the job done. He was, without a doubt, one of the finest promoters of rare book fairs and has done more for the rare book trade than most. His legacy will endure in the vibrant community he helped build.” Ian J. Kahn from Lux Mentis, Booksellers, said: “For the 15 or so years we have done the NYC ABAA fair with Sandy, he was never anything but gracious, supportive and accommodating toward us. For at least the last 10 years, he always made a point to visit the booth, often reflecting upon how much he enjoyed what we brought and how we displayed it. I will always fondly recall the year Sandy, somewhat grudgingly, returned to the booth on a Friday and purchased something that had made him chuckle since seeing it the day before. He was very, very good at what he did and we will miss him.” Sandy is survived by his four sons, five grandchildren and his wife, Jill Bokor. His first wife, Patricia Lynch, predeceased him. An obituary has also appeared in The New York Times. [Editor’s note: Plans for a memorial service at the Park Avenue Armory are in the works, date to be announced. Donations may be made in his name to the Park Avenue Armory, Henry Street Settlement House, the ACLU and Planned Parenthood of New York.] SANFORD L. SMITH (1939-2024) IN MEMORIAM During my career, I was president of both the Art Dealers Association of America (ADAA) and the International Fine Print Dealers Association (IFPDA) and ran both fairs, working with Sandy. His background was fascinating and he turned out to be not only a very effective manager of art fairs but also a great guy. He was very charismatic, a hardworking, wonderful gentleman who was a real character and — at times — a piece of work. I liked to joke with him that he should be in his office and not out on the floor. He made a career for himself and his organization and I am really sad he is no longer with us. I will miss him. He was a friend. Richard “Dick” Solomon President Pace Prints https://www.antiquesandthearts.com/sanford-smith-producer-of-the-new-yorkantiquarian-book-fair-dies-at-84/

I first met Sandy in 1986, when he started the Modernism show at the Park Avenue Armory in New York City. We immediately got along well, and I instantly developed a great deal of respect for him and his intelligence. He had an incredible knack for fair promotion and operation. One very important thing about Sandy — and he would tell you this — he never lost money on a show. Considering the complexity of running a fair, that’s pretty amazing and something I would share with other people. Everyone I knew loved working with him, and he had a group of men and women who worked with him who were very loyal. He treated everyone right, meaning that he paid them well, he talked to them properly, and he valued what they were doing. He really appreciated people. His dealers were most important to him; he did his best to make sure that his dealers were happy from move in to move out, and was only truly happy if everyone had a good and profitable show. Sandy had very high standards for his shows. He expected dealers to bring a variety of “good” things and he was tough on people who brought fakes or reproductions. He regularly walked the floor to see how the dealers were doing, and he would make suggestions and offer advice to the dealers about how to improve their booths.

He singlehandedly radically changed the world of collecting when he started the Modernism show. Modernism led to a major shift in what people were collecting all over the world. Other promoters started copying his model for modernism shows, thereby spreading his influence, but none of them succeeded like Sandy. For me, the true bottom line is that Modernism is responsible for the continuing existence of Moderne Gallery in Philadelphia. The first year that I did the show I picked up about 15 NYC clients that carried me through that year. Every year I would pick up more and more clients, not just from New York City but from all over. The show had that kind of reach. A number of good clients who we met at Modernism 35-40 years ago are still working with us. I have Sandy Smith to thank for that and for his great advice and close friendship. I will miss him greatly. Robert Aibel, PhD Moderne Gallery Sandy was and will always be a friend. I first met him in the 1970s with my father; he was running Smith Gallery that I remember focusing on marine arts, something my father was very interested in. My major involvement with Sandy came with the International Fine Print Dealers Association (IFPDA). The association approached Sandy because they wanted a fair but did not have enough dealers in the late 1980s to put on an art fair themselves. Sandy came up with the idea of “Works on Paper” and launched that event in the spring; it was a great success bringing together print, photography, poster and drawing dealers under one room at the Seventh Regiment Armory in New York City. A few years later, the IFPDA had enough dealers to start their own fair and Sandy managed the Print Fair for more than two decades. In 1994, is my memory, but it is a bit foggy, I was asked to be the Print Fair chair for the IFPDA which put me into the fray with Sandy. My first day as chairman of the Print Fair, Dick Solomon — the previous chair who had become the president of the IFPDA — told me to remember they named a street after Sandy. I looked at him and said, “Really?” He smiled and said, “Yes ‘one way.’” I quickly learned what he told me was true, there was one way to work with Sandy, agree with him or have an argument, which we had many of over the years. That being said, Sandy ran a tight ship as a show promoter. A tough but fair negotiator for both the association and the unions. This is why he had the same people working for him year after year; he may have been difficult, but in the end there was always a fair compromise that worked for both parties. I do not remember exhibiting in any of Sandy’s antique shows, but my father could have early on. I did the Works on Paper fair for many years with him, the Print Fair and the Book Fair. We had spoken about the Salon Art and Design Fair when he came up with that idea. It was likely his finest fair, a beautiful event in the Armory, although I have never exhibited in it because the timing for me was not good, always near another fair I was doing. Sanford Smith — a curmudgeon, tough to work with but fair in the end, always there to assist, support and collect from the dealers who exhibited in his fairs. Robert K. Newman The Old Print Shop, Inc. https://www.antiquesandthearts.com/sanford-smith-producer-of-the-new-yorkantiquarian-book-fair-dies-at-84/
I had a long relationship with him and worked extensively with Sandy and Sanford L. Smith & Associates as chairman and representative of the Antiquarian Bookseller’s Association of America; he was a great person to work with. He was instrumental in helping us keep the fair at the Park Avenue Armory at a time when its mission was to be a performing arts center. His long association with the armory allowed the bookseller’s association to keep the fair there. It was the ideal size for our fair in a city where suitable venues are hard to find. His expertise in the management of fairs — from his relationships with the unions and the management of the Seventh Regiment Armory to the smallest housekeeping details — made him an invaluable partner. He could be tough, which is good because he needed it to handle everything that makes a fair successful. I spoke with him very frequently — bringing issues the booksellers had to his attention. In my very first encounter with him, when I was introduced to him by the former chairman, he said to me, “Do you know how I settle disputes? With a baseball bat.” When “Do you prefer wood or aluminum” rolled off my tongue, he laughed, and the ice was broken right away and we could work together without letting things get in the way. While I’ve passed the chairmanship to my successor, I’m happy to report that because he had such a long-standing staff at Sanford L. Smith & Associates who have had key positions for a long time, things will keep going and the fair will continue to run…April 3-6, 2025, is the date of the next NYIABF at the Park Avenue Armory.

Sandy and I had a meeting of the minds in, I believe, 2005, when I was doing a book fair with Bruce Gervetner and Gary Austin. He looked at me, said, “Jeff, you know books and bookstores in New York City, you need to come and step up your game!” Two years later, I shared a booth at the armory book fair with John Kuenzig, which I did for two years before I got my own booth. There never was a show with Sandy when, at the end of the show and in front of everyone, he’d ask me, “So, Jeff, how’d you do?” I never remember him asking anyone else that. I also remember that he would just come by the booth and sit down with me and he would always ask me, “Are you still doing well with me? Are you still doing well with the shows?” I’d say, “Sandy, it’s the best show in the world. It compares to nothing else in the book business, whether it’s overseas, California or Boston.” Sandy knew how to bring the people in. It was certainly up to the sellers to bring in their customers, but the longevity and the location of the armory fair, it’s absolutely perfect for everyone in the book business. When I read an earlier obituary, I thought there was very little mentioned about the NY book fair, it was more about what he did with the art world. Yes, the art world is important, but in the book world, without the Sandy Smith book fair, there would be no book business! My success comes from this show and my longevity in doing it, from friendships made with the fine booksellers and customers I’ve met in the 17 years doing it. https://www.antiquesandthearts.com/sanford-smith-producer-of-the-new-yorkantiquarian-book-fair-dies-at-84/
I’m saddened by his passing. I saw him at the last book fair; he was in his wheelchair but he was very cognizant, very talkative. I’m just so lucky that I’m part of it. The people he had working with him are wonderful. He said he was passing it on; I hope that transpires. Our business will be lost without it. Jeff Bergman Jeff Bergman Books I first met Sandy when Sanford Smith & Associates took over the NY Book fair. I’m also originally a native New Yorker and we were all from the same neighborhood, so it was a little community from day one. Sandy had a specific sweetness towards a lot of the booksellers and he was like an uncle to the booksellers who brought their kids to the show; our girls were brought up at the fair. When they first came — as toddlers — he would give them room in his office to play; once he brought in a small toy village in a bucket to keep them occupied. There was a natural kindness to him that even when he was stressed, he could switch gears when the kids were around. The first thing he would always ask was, “Did you bring the girls?” That was the natural Sandy. I remember that my girls liked to go around with Windex and clean the glass for other dealers. I asked Sandy if that was OK and he said, “Make sure they charge enough.” I told them to charge $1 per case; one bookseller gave them $5. They said it had been David Lesser so I went to David and told him I appreciated it but that I didn’t want to spoil them. They came back saying, “Mr Lesser said to keep the money but not to tell you he said to keep it.” Over the years, Sandy and I retained a very natural friendship and we would make purposeful time during the show to chat. It was what made Sandy such an extraordinary ally and component of the bookselling community. His art fairs were much more high profile but he understood the bookselling community and gave everyone the same attention, from high profile art and book dealers to assistants on the floor. Everyone worked cohesively and he was the driving factor in all of that. Allan Stypeck Second Story Books It is hard to think of an individual who did more to shape trends in the art and antiques world over the past half century. Sometimes brash and always bold, Sandy Smith was a quintessential New Yorker who thought big and brought the field along with him. A weekend warrior when he began dabbling in antiques in the 1960s, Smith soon revealed his gift for organizing upscale, niche shows at a moment when fairs were ascendant, and specialization was on the rise among dealers and auctioneers. Working with the Museum of American Folk Art, the first of many organizational partners, he tapped into a global wave of interest in country furniture and folk art to launch the Fall Antiques Show in 1979. He followed with Modernism, Works on Paper, the Photography Fair, the Outsider Art Fair and the Salon Art + Design, among others. Behind the scenes, Smith was a canny businessman who knew how to get things done in New York City, a city famous for its fractious unions and fraught politics. He never tired of show business, nor of the journalists who promoted his events. He took an avid interest in the trade and was generous in sharing his knowledge with this media outlet and many others. Sandy Smith will be missed. https://www.antiquesandthearts.com/sanford-smith-producer-of-the-new-yorkantiquarian-book-fair-dies-at-84/
Laura Beach As a young antiques and art dealer starting out in the ‘70s, I first met Sandy as a fellow exhibitor on the Wendy show circuit. Sandy always had an encouraging word and when he started running his own shows, he reached out to me and encouraged me to exhibit in them. His were some of the best and most innovative shows that first introduced me to some of my best clients. Jim Bakker Bakker Gallery
Smith, New York International Antiquarian Book Fair, April 2016, Antiques and The Arts Weekly photo.
I’ve known Sandy Smith since 1985, when I first opened a gallery in New York City when I was too young to be opening a gallery! Sandy was incredibly supportive by admitting me to some of his well-organized and sought-after art and antiques fairs. He was always very https://www.antiquesandthearts.com/sanford-smith-producer-of-the-new-yorkantiquarian-book-fair-dies-at-84/
supportive to the dealers, especially to the young dealers. He was a big influence on me and my career and we remained friends until the end. The first art fair I ever did with him — it was so long ago and so different then than what they are now — was a much more casual affair. It was in a field in Morristown, N.J., where he erected a big tent. Just as we finished setting up before the show opened, a tornado tore through New Jersey and it ripped the top of the tent off and art and antiques went flying. We came back to find the partially destroyed show with water in everything. He said to me, “Get all your stuff together, the show will go on.” And it did! He was the impresario who kept things going. I participated in the IFPDA’s print fair in the Park Avenue Armory, which opened a day after Hurricane Sandy hit New York. At the time, I lived downtown, and my apartment had no electricity; the ConnEd power station in Brooklyn had literally blown up that morning. You couldn’t imagine anyone could get a show up and running when no-one had any power. And though things were better farther uptown, it was still a lot of work to pull everything together, but he made it work. His staff passed around t-shirts that said “We Survived Hurricane Sandy” and those of us who were there knew it was referring not to the storm Sandy but to Sandy Smith, who had been hysterical for 24 hours to get the show opened on time. He would go and tell everyone to “March in line, get things done!” He was full of imagination and really thought through an idea and saw it to completion. They broke the mold with Sandy; we’ll all miss him terribly! Susan Sheehan Susan Sheehan Gallery New York City I met Sandy in 2004, when I was part of a group who wanted to save the Park Avenue Armory. He was just terrific and always so supportive of the armory from the beginning and generous with his gifts; he really is part of the fabric of the armory. He always kept us up to date on what was going on, with little bits of gossip, and he offered advice freely and happily. He had a very positive, proactive attitude towards things. He was always asking “How can I help make this work?” Whenever he was in the building, he’d pop up to see me, and when he didn’t pop in, we’d miss him. Rebecca Robertson President and Executive Producer Park Avenue Armory Sandy was a uniquely special person and he cared about our city and the arts in such profound ways. He was deeply dedicated to Henry Street Settlement and our partners at the Art Dealers Association of America (ADAA) — he cared about the success of The Art Show, the ADAA member galleries and the fair’s special philanthropic mission to raise vital funds to help make a difference in the lives of children and families. He was personally and professionally generous and will be deeply missed. https://www.antiquesandthearts.com/sanford-smith-producer-of-the-new-yorkantiquarian-book-fair-dies-at-84/
David Garza President & CEO Henry Street Settlement Sandy Smith loved the Americana field. He had the concept of creating the first “All American Show” at the NYC Upper East Side Armory in 1979. Word spread quickly about this groundbreaking event. Fresh out of college, Kathy and I were consumed with Americana and folk art. We heard about the show and immediately contacted Sandy who, of course, never heard of us. Nonetheless, he handed us an opportunity by accepting us into the show. We credit him for giving us our first big break. We joined the ranks of Larry Whitley, Ed Fuller, Brian Riba, Tim and Pam Hill, Harris Diamant, Stephen Score and others at the Fall Antiques Show. The excitement was indescribable. Sandy was a visionary and, in many ways, was responsible for creating the Americana and Outsider Art market as we know it today. He will be missed. Fred Giampietro New England Auctions
In February 2010, Smith was awarded the American Folk Art Museum’s third annual Visionary Award.

Sandy Smith was my first introduction to the New York City scene in the mid-70s. He created the first Park Avenue show featuring American dealers, specializing in folk art with related furniture and decorative parts exclusively. Sandy had that special New York vibe that attracted sophisticated customers. He was a master of selecting the best established dealers and the newest upcoming dealers from across the United States. The energy of that show was astounding and remained that way for many years to follow. Sandy created a unique market that propelled the new younger dealers into prominent recognized specialists in their fields of expertise. I am grateful to Sandy for his insight and confidence, which added greatly to my success as an antiques and art dealer. Sandy knew what dealers wanted because he was a dealer as well and could relate to their needs. The Modernism show was also a creation mastered by Sandy. His insight into emerging markets and trends produced enthusiasm that still has ripple effects today. Thank you, Sandy, for your professionalism and recognition. I know that I am not alone when I say how much Sandy was appreciated by the antiques dealers that he worked with. Gary Sargent G. Sargent Antiques Woodbury, Conn. Sandy Smith put Americana and folk art on the map. He was truly an icon in his field! His fall shows gave dealers — and our wares — an audience and an exposure we never could have achieved on our own. As a dealer, where else could you ever expect to get a call after a show from Barbra Streisand wanting to know if an object she had seen in your booth was still available, or looking up and seeing Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward eyeing one of your pieces (I almost fainted when Paul Newman took off his glasses to get a better view of a painting!) or looking up and seeing Paul Simon sitting on one of your Windsor chairs that was up on a plinth, or Andy Warhol offering us a copy of his newly published magazine called Interview? Yes, it was exciting and lots of fun, but the most important thing gained by exhibiting at Sandy’s shows were the incredible and lasting friendships we all have made with our fellow dealers and collectors! PRICELESS!! (“So precious that it’s value cannot be determined”). And now I am sure Sandy Smith is still doing his magic and is sending out contracts for his new show “away from home” to all of those beloved dealer friends we have lost. A group we will forever miss! A very grateful dealer, Barb Pollack

Sandy and I were a year apart at the University of Pennsylvania and while I didn’t know him then, I met him when I did the first folk art show. After that, I got to know him well. He was a genuinely good guy who really cared about his dealers. He had a house in the Berkshires for about 20 years and he would come to my shop a couple of times a year to see how the Americana world was doing. Sandy grew up in the family funeral business on New York’s Lower East Side and because of that, he was a consummate New Yorker and very much thought about what went on in New York as the center of the world. He cared about how New York would react to things; it was one reason he did so well promoting his shows. He recognized and respected the changes in what people were interested in — I think that was why he stated the Modernism show. He adapted to changing tastes very successfully. He — and the folk art museum — were instrumental in creating the market for folk art and its popularity, and from that, Outsider art, which has become hugely popular.

Sandy Smith was a bold show promoter who brought young dealers, as well as seasoned veterans, with unusual ideas of beauty in merchandise to the Fall Antiques Show at the Park Avenue Armory. This show was so different that it made the cover of New Yorker magazine and the dealers were referred to as Young Turks; if that was not enough, the preview party was catered by a young Martha Stewart. It was an amazing time to be in the antiques business. Three years later, Sandy followed this successful show with Modernism, dazzling the public with stellar Twentieth Century material. I was an exhibitor for the full 20-plus run of these shows and fellow dealers and customers became lifelong friends. Thank you, Sandy, for being the first to include antique and vintage fashion in a major show. Katy Kane I first met Sandy when, as a teenager, he attended a summer camp at Gardner Lake near Colchester. One day, he hitched a ride to our shop, which was about 5 miles from the camp, and came in and looked around for awhile before he started talking to my dad. That was probably 70 years ago. Later, my father and I were doing a show at the Park Avenue Armory; I think it was March, but I don’t remember what year. Sandy was managing the show and when he saw us setting up, he came over and said, “A funny thing just happened. I was riding the elevator in my building and met a guy who also lives there who asked me, ‘Don’t you like antiques.’ When I told him I did, he said, ‘I have an old table I inherited from my family. I don’t like it, I don’t want it, I want to get rid of it. Can you help me?’” Sandy arranged to meet the guy and got photos of the table, which he showed to us. It was a great — and I mean great — Massachusetts Queen Anne dropleaf table, the best quality, the best design, the best wood; it was a “10!” Sandy asked us, “What should I pay the guy?” We told him we would pay him a certain amount if it turned out to be right. Well, he bought the table from the guy and brought it into the show and put it in our booth; it was, indeed, a “killer” table! We made Sandy a nice profit and he was beside himself. We put the table right in the front of our booth and Albert Sack walked in, thought it was a great table too, and bought it then and there. It was from the estate of Sophie Ripley Ames Boyer, of the Boyer family of Concord, Mass., and was in the house in Concord when Ralph Waldo Emerson lived there. It is included in Volume VII of American Antiques from Israel Sack, pp. 1920. Arthur Liverant Nathan L. Liverant and Son Antiques

They broke the mold when Sandy was born. He was truly one of a kind. Sandy’s vision changed many people’s lives, including my own. The first Fall Antiques Show was an extraordinary coming together of the “young bucks,” as he referred to us. It was the first time that Americana was given its own venue. Both the dealers and public found it exciting in a way they had never imagined. The following year, there were doubters when Sandy moved the show from the ideal East Side Armory to the wilds of the Pier on the West Side. Once again, he was right. From that point, he became like the Pied Piper, with dealers and clients believing in him enough to try his Modernism Show, The Great American Quilt Festival, The Salon and others he created. Sandy was a force like no other. Many will feel his absence. Stella Rubin Dear Friends, Sad news travels quickly and the passing of Sanford “Sandy” Smith came much too soon. If there was one word to describe Sandy, I would choose “Pioneer,” as he embodied the https://www.antiquesandthearts.com/sanford-smith-producer-of-the-new-yorkantiquarian-book-fair-dies-at-84/
meaning breaking new ground in the antiques business that benefitted countless antiques dealers, collectors and nonprofit institutions…yes, a true Pioneer. I first met Sandy as a young dealer who was honored to exhibit at his Fall Antiques Show benefiting the American Folk Art Museum, which in many ways launched my career and that of many other dealers. Had it not been for Sandy’s bold initiative working with Dr Robert Bishop and an amazing show committee, the words “Folk Art” would still be a mystery. How does one say farewell to an industry icon…two words, Sandy Smith. Frank Gaglio

Sandy Smith was the first promoter to find what I was doing — concentrating on the original art by illustrators for children — valid and let me have a booth at the Fall Antiques Show and later at the Works on Paper fair. This was a great opportunity since many of the works I had in my booth were watercolors. He never scoffed at new ideas and was open and enthusiastic about introducing something different at his shows. https://www.antiquesandthearts.com/sanford-smith-producer-of-the-new-yorkantiquarian-book-fair-dies-at-84/
I also remember his enjoyment after reading that Allan and I were married. And then ours for him when he and Jill were married. Sandy remained a friend, pleased with every step along the way as I spread the word about the art I loved and an audience opened up and grew to appreciate it. His energy and enthusiasm will always be remembered fondly. Kendra Daniel Sandy was a successful and energetic show promoter, friendly, upbeat and personable. He intuitively understood what would attract customers and was generous to his exhibitors, making sure they were properly provided for. Personally, he and I go back a long way. I took over the lease on his gallery at 76th Street off Madison in 1989 and opened The American Folk Art Gallery. Even earlier, we bought and sold to one another. His presence will be missed. Allan Daniel We knew Sandy for decades, not as exhibitors in his shows, but as part of the overall antiques and arts marketplace. Long ago, I saw an ad by Sanford Smith who was the advertising director for the New York Pennsylvania Collector trade newspaper. There was no harm in asking, and he did say “yes,” for many, many years. We began to know him as friends, and as a very honest and competent show and fair organizer. Whether paper or art, or books and antiques or collectibles, his talents and hard work — and above all his integrity — gave so many not just incomes, but friendships. Even last year we told a friend who does his book fairs, “Say hi to Sandy” and he replied, “Nice to hear from you.” That was Sandy! Fran and Herb Kramer

Sotheby’s slashes buyer’s fees and sets seller’s commission at standard rate by Alex Capon Sotheby’s has announced a major shake-up of its customers’ fees, reducing its buyer’s premium for the f irst time since it was introduced in 1979 and setting sellers’ commission at a standard rate. The new
charges will come into effect in May. A mong the head l i ne ch a n g e s , S ot he by ’s i s abandoning its current threetiered buyer’s premium structure and switching to a simpler two-tiered format. The new rates will be 20% on the hammer price up to $6m/£5m, and 10% of the hammer price
above $6m/£5m. This means Sotheby’s premium will be lower than that charged by many regional UK and US salerooms and significantly below the fees charged by its principal market rivals. Previously the fees at Sotheby’s were 26% up to $1m/£800,000, then 20% up
to $4.5m/£3.8m, and then 13.9% on the portion of the hammer price beyond those levels. Since 2020 the company also charged an additional 1% administrative fee applied on the hammer price of all individual lots (the so-called ‘overhead premium’) that has now been scrapped. Sotheby’s key changes for
sellers includes the introduction of a uniform seller’s commission rate of 10% on the first $500,000 or £500,000 of the hammer price per lot. There will be no seller’s commission on the portion of the hammer pr ice above $50 0,0 0 0 (£500,000). Continued on page 6

Leading US fair owner Sanford L Smith dies aged 84 Sanford L Smith, owner of some of the leading fairs in the US, has died. By Stewart Cumiskey
https://www.antiquestradegazette.com/news/2024/leading-us-fair-owner-sanford-lsmith-dies-aged-84/
Sanford L Smith was described as 'the master showman'.
During his long and varied career, Smith, who was 84, ran more than 150 fairs, and his company Sanford L Smith + Associates (SLSA), currently runs The ABAA New York International Antiquarian Book Fair, The Art Dealers Association of America Art Show and Salon Art + Design. The company has been left to wife and partner Jill Bokor, chief executive officer Jennifer Stark, and managing director and executive director of Salon Art + Design Nicky Dessources. SLSA launched the Fall Antiques Show in 1979. It was the first event in the world to focus exclusively on American antiques. Its launch at the Seventh Regiment Armory (now the Park Avenue Armory) gave Studio 54 a run for its money. It attracted long queues down the street, inspiring a New Yorker magazine cover showing people waiting to get into the show. Smith once said: “My one claim to fame is that I saw openings and created shows that hadn’t been done before.” His shows often attracted around 10,000 visitors over a weekend. Future events https://www.antiquestradegazette.com/news/2024/leading-us-fair-owner-sanford-lsmith-dies-aged-84/
SLSA is currently planning the 13th edition of Salon Art + Design, which takes place this November 7-11 and the 65th Annual ABAA NYIABF taking place from April 3-6, 2025 at Park Avenue Armory. “Sandy was the master showman, and nothing delighted him more than finding a niche in the art and design world and filling it with an unexpected new event,” says Bokor. “Many attendees of the fairs will remember Sandy sitting at the front of the fair watching the people come in. It thrilled him.”

This large 12in (30cm) hexagonal painted fritware tile from 16th century Damascus is decorated with one of the most recognisable Ottoman decorative motifs – the çintamani pattern. The pairs of wavy lines and groups of three dots represent the pelts of the striped tiger and spotted leopard that came to evoke strength and power.
Police in the Netherlands have confirmed they have recovered two more diamonds stolen by armed robbers from The European Art Fair (TEFAF) in 2022. On June 28, 2022, four men in suits and flat caps gained entry to the fair at the MECC in Maastricht and smashed the glass display of London gallery Symbolic & Chase’s stand using a hammer. They fled the scene in rented vehicles with 10 items including a 114-carat yellow diamond necklace worth tens of millions of pounds.

An extensive archive relating to Charlie Chaplin goes under the hammer at Bonhams in the timed online sale titled Fine Books, Maps & Manuscripts sale running until June 20. The vendor is ‘The Little Tramp’s’ goddaughter, whose father, the British publisher Max Reinhardt, amassed the collection. T he arch ive features annotated proofs, contracts photographs, and letters. It is estimated at £30,000-50,000. Reinhardt published Chaplin’s autobiography in 1964 and was a friend of the comic and performer. Matthew Haley, Bonhams K nightsbridge managing director and head of UK books
and manuscripts, said: “This unique archive offers a rare insight into Chaplin’s creative processes, something he was very reluctant to share. Chaplin’s perfectionism and exacting nature come to the fore in the extensive revisions and corrections he made to the many sets of proofs of his autobiography.” Other Chaplin lots, separate to the archive, include a playbill from 1903 in which Chaplin is listed as ‘Billy’ in Sherlock Hol mes i n Wolverh a mpt on ( g u ide £600-800).

The thief, who was wearing a blue hoodie and white cap, carried out the smash and grab at around 11.30pm on October 3 by throwing a rock through the laminated glass to extract the bronze figure. An accomplice waited outside while the theft was taking place. The gallery said they had loitered outside for around 30 minutes before breaking in as they Continued on page 6

A medieval gaming piece found in a sock drawer sold for £50,000 (plus 25% buyer’s premium) at Gorringe’s in Lewes on October 8 – smashing its estimate of £10,000-15,000. Made from walrus ivory, the counter would have been used for tables or backgammon, which was popular among the nobility throughout northern Europe in the 11th and 12th centuries. Continued on page 6

1 How did you get your start as a dealer? Having grown up in the South, since an early age, I’ve been drawn to beautiful pieces that tell a story. I began in the interior design business with Howard Kaplan Antiques and afterwards became the antiques director for the three showrooms of Jerry Pair and Associates. I returned to NYC from Atlanta and joined the Karl Kemp Gallery in December 2023. The pieces at Karl Kemp tell a broader story from the 19th century through the 21st century. All dealing begins with a passion for what resonates in your heart. Karl Kemp has been a source
for beautiful antiques for more than 45 years. It has become the pre-eminent HIWXMREXMSR JSV ƼRI ERXMUYIW ERH decorative art in New York. The gallery originally focused almost exclusively SR ƼRI &MIHIVQIMIV )QTMVI ERH %VX Deco, but we have since branched out to include Mid-century design.
2 What challenges are facing the trade? Our world has become very digitally oriented in the past years. We strive to have amazing photography and descriptions to make it easier for those accessing our website to get a feel for the pieces. The pace of communication and the variable ways to communicate are both an asset and a challenge. 3 What is one great discovery you’ve made?

La Semelle Michelin (The Power of the Michelin Sole). This features a dynamic illustration by the French cartoonist Marius Rossillon (known as O’Galop, 1867-1946) who created the iconic Bibendum (Michelin Man) character in 1898 and produced posters for the French tyre company Michelin from 1898-1911. The figure made from tyres is seen smoking a cigar and looking back at the viewer with a raised foot showing the sole. This poster backed on linen is offered for £14,400.
Made a killing Timothy Millett is bringing a curious and somewhat macabre penny that relates to the public
hanging of banker and forger Henry Fauntleroy. This year is the 200th anniversary of the execution, a spectacle that was attended by more than 100,000 gawpers. Fauntleroy was arrested on the charge of appropriating trust funds by forging the trustees’ signatures and was committed for trial. It was rumoured that he had squandered £250,000 in total on homes for his mistresses and gambling at the races. He was tried at the Old Bailey, found guilty. After the hanging, there were rumours that he had put a silver pipe down his throat and had not died. Wealthy friends, it was claimed, had cut down the body and
whisked him away to live a luxurious life overseas. “Only about 10 of these pennies are known to exist; it is presumed that they were all created by the same engraver spotting a business opportunity,” says Millett. “These coins were sold at the hanging to an enthusiastic and resentful crowd, as recorded in the legend the robber of widows and orphans. To be offering this penny, a relic of a such a sensational event just weeks before the 200th anniversary of the hanging, November 30 (in the city where he lived and died) is very exciting.” The penny has a price tag of £2500. ■ lapadalondon.com 19 October 2024 | 37

systematic approach to going through a fair is highly recommended, and there’s no better way to do that than by getting to know who’s located where. Decide where you’ll start, what route you’ll take, and where you’ll end up. For fairs with long aisles, a good strategy is to explore each aisle progressively, starting with the first and walking all the way down, then going to the next and walking all the way back, and so on until you’ve seen all the aisles. When you get to the end, turn right around and follow the exact same route in the opposite direction, back to where you started. Approaching each booth from one direction on the way out and the other on the way back maximizes your chances of seeing everything. And since booths are on both sides of every aisle, be sure to look from side to side all along the way. With fairs where aisles are in gridtype patterns, you use the same method, except twice. Walk the “up-and-down” aisles first, and then the “back-andforth” aisles, both in the same progressive way that you would with long-

treat. There’s also the people-watching. That alone often makes art fairs worth it. They’re unique opportunities to meet and speak with artists and gallery personnel, and mingle with art lovers, collectors, and characters galore. Now, all this is great, but the same time, art fairs can be overwhelming and intimidating, and such feelings are entirely understandable, especially if you’re not familiar with the territory, how the art is presented, how to get around, how to talk or ask about or buy art, and also what you might call the risk of stimulation inundation. In other words, it’s easy to get “all arted out” if you don’t have a plan. So here’s a crash course in how to approach, dissect, digest, inquire, buy, and get the most out of any art fair experience anywhere. Start by doing some advance prep. Visit the fair’s website. Read the “About” section for an introduction to the basics, history, and what the fair is known for. Next, pretty much any significant art fair lists all exhibitors and participants on its website. Head over there to see who’s on the docket, what they specialize in, what they might be showing, where they’re from, etc. Click any links that seem interesting, visit the dealers’ websites, and take a closer look at their art and artists. If you like what you see and want to see more, make a note to visit their booths. Do the same with any artists whose work engages you, as well. Another way to get an idea of what exhibitors will be showing is by checking out their social media, and maybe even following them. Don’t forget to visit any related hashtags like #(a gallery’s name), #(an artist’s name), and #(the art fair’s name). You don’t have to spend hours or days on this, but it’s an excellent way to get a basic feel for what you’ll encounter once you arrive. The better prepared you are, the more comfortable and confident you’ll be, the less chance you’ll have of getting lost, and the more you’ll enjoy, learn, and benefit from the experience. On art-fair websites, you can often see their floor plans, as well. Whenever that’s the case, check them out and maybe even print them out. Taking a
aisle layouts. By systematically covering the complete grid “horizontally” and then “vertically,” you again approach every booth from two directions rather than just one, and again maximize your chances of seeing everything that’s being shown. If you see a booth or space you like along the way, walk right in. Don’t worry; nobody’s going to bite. You may think you’re seeing the whole thing by standing at the front edge and looking around, but a significant number of booths have areas in the back, or little nooks that might not be visible from the front. If you’re still at the browsing stage, not quite ready to talk, and someone approaches you, thank them for their attention, tell them you’ve just started out and are only on your first walk-around. Hopefully that will be adequate to end the conversation. In terms of additional pointers to keep in mind, don’t be in a rush to buy anything. Any experienced art buyer will tell you that patience is one of the cornerstones of effective collecting. If you see a piece of art you really love, " # $ $ !% & % ' !!( !!) * + , - . / 0 1 + !

2'0+1(' make a note of who’s showing it. Ask a few questions if you want. Who’s the artist? What’s their history? Do you have any materials or links you can share? Expressing interest does not obligate you to buy anything, nor does it require you to engage in deep detailed conversations, especially ones where someone starts asking personal questions. If you have what you need for now and would appreciate a little time to think on it, say so. You should never feel uncomfortable or pressured to buy. Take your time. Head home, go over your materials along with any URLs, information on the gallery’s website, or other details they provide. Google the artist and the gallery. Check out their social media, their personal websites if they have them, their online presence, and anything else you might find. Get informed before you buy. That’s the key. Things to watch out for? Don’t believe for an instant that there is only
Also keep in mind that no matter whom you’re talking with, if they make a statement about an artist or work of art, they are obligated to back it up with facts if you ask. Especially in the energized settings of art fairs, you can’t simply take everything you’re told at face value. Your job, assuming you’re serious about whatever you’re looking at, is to verify any claims sellers make (unless you already know and trust them). Ask them to substantiate what they’re telling you, and then confirm their answers independently. For example, watch out for versions of “The artist is really hot right now,” “They’re collected internationally,” “Prices are on the way up,” “They have a great career ahead of them,” “They were selling for a lot less two years ago,” and so on. Trust but verify. So let’s say you’ve done your due diligence and you’re pretty sure you want to buy. If you reach this stage, it’s time to examine every physical detail of the artwork—not just the parts you’re

before purchasing it, do the same with art. And of course, if you have any questions about what you’re looking at, ask. Assuming you’re completely satisfied at this point and prepared to finalize the deal, the only item left on the agenda is price. Don’t feel uneasy or intimidated here. Art is not cheap, and as with any significant purchase, you want some sense of assurance that you’re getting your money’s worth. You are fully within your rights to ask how a seller set their price. Ask whether similar works sell in the same price range. Ask how regularly the artist sells. Ask whether there’s anywhere you can go to learn more. The seller should be more than happy to talk prices. If they get upset or offended by the question, maybe it’s best to walk away. But only talk price if you’re serious and ready to buy. Novice buyers might wonder whether it’s OK make an offer or bargain in any way. Depending on the circumstances, that’s always an option, but you’d better know why you’re doing it, and most importantly, be able to back up any offer with facts. Bargaining just to pay less is never a good idea. Assuming you can explain yourself, then fine. Most sellers appreciate a good argument, but even if you’ve got one, asking for more than 10 to 20 percent off is really risky, and you can easily alienate a seller that way. And never bargain at the opening of a fair. Best time to do it? Towards the end. Of course you take the risk that the art might be sold, but if it’s not, galleries may be more amenable to offers. You can also choose to forego any bargaining, especially if you love the art and like the seller, as well, and pay whatever price they’re asking. Who knows? This could be the start of a great relationship. One thing is for sure—it’s the start of a great relationship between you and the art that you’re about to make a permanent part of your life.

Remembering Sanford Smith: Art Lover, Collector, and Businessman By Abby Andrulitis

On Saturday, May 25th, 2024, Sanford L. Smith, known to friends as Sandy, passed away at age 84.

From childhood, Smith had a keen eye for collectibles—accumulating baseball cards and comic books while living with his family in New York. As he grew older and later married, Smith’s home collections turned to antiques: toy soldiers, weather vanes, and 19th-century Austrian bronze figurines. Though these pieces were displayed throughout his home alongside paintings by wellrenowned American modernists, Smith would often sell these works to other collectors. He told The New York Times, “The fun was in the hunt.” Perhaps inspired by his love for composing and discovering new artworks, Smith began producing art and antique fairs in 1979. Smith launched the Fall Antiques Show, conveniently located within his family-owned funeral home business. This was one of the first fairs of its kind to focus solely on American antiques. Off the success of that show, Smith founded the art show “Modernism” in 1985, which ran until 2010. He also started the Outsider Art Fair (OAF) to highlight artists who did not fit in just one genre or medium. OAF was eventually bought out in 2013 by the art dealer Andrew Edlin and expanded from New York to Paris.

Another one of Smith's popular creations is Salon Art + Design, one of the only fairs at the time to blend art and functional objects. This fair continues in New York in November. Throughout the years Smith referred to his shows and fairs as “show business.” He managed over 150 during his lifetime, each enjoying success with dealers and pleasure for attendees. Smith also raised millions of dollars for charities along the way with his pre-show galas. He held degrees from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Smith’s shows and fairs had a sense of community to them; they acted as social hubs for galleries and clients to reconnect and quickly became essential stops for buyers and sellers alike. Not only did dealers typically make money, but Smith had a gift for bringing recognition to often-overlooked artists, mediums, and styles. https://www.artandobject.com/news/remembering-sanford-smith-art-lover-collectorand-businessman
Sandy Smith leaves behind his wife and business partner, Jill Bokor, as well as four sons and five grandchildren. A true entrepreneur and lover of art in all forms, Smith paved a significant path in the world of art shows and collecting. His open-mindedness, entrepreneurial spirit, and commitment to the accessibility and expansion of the art world will be greatly missed.

Salon Art + Design announces Nicky Dessources as Executive Director By Staff Writer
Nicky Dessources, New Director at Salon Art + Design. Dessources will succeed Jill Bokor, who positioned Salon as one of the world’s pre-eminent stages for global design during her decade-long tenure.
NEW YORK, NY.- Salon Art + Design, the leading collectible design and art fair produced by Sanford L. Smith + Associates, is pleased to announce Nicky Dessources as its new Executive Director. Dessources succeeds Jill Bokor, who for more than a decade positioned Salon Art + Design as one of the world’s preeminent platforms for international design. After nearly ten years’ experience at Sanford L. Smith, Dessources comes from within the organization, bringing her extensive experience to the role and ushering in a new era of innovation and creativity. Bokor will remain with Salon Art + Design as Chairwoman Emeritus, working closely in collaboration with Dessources on future editions of the fair. https://artdaily.cc/news/166312/Salon-Art---Design-announces-Nicky-Dessources-asExecutive-Director
Stepping into the role of Executive Director for the 2024 edition of Salon, Dessources will oversee all aspects of the New York event, which takes place at the Park Avenue Armory each November as a highlight of the international fall arts calendar. Working closely with the fair’s galleries, as well as a global community of collectors and institutional audiences, she will be responsible for shaping the fair's direction and strengthening its position as a global platform for discovery and creativity. “I am deeply honored to begin serving as Executive Director and build upon the incredible foundation laid by Jill,” says Nicky Dessources, Executive Director of Salon Art + Design. “Under Jill's leadership, Salon has thrived, and my goal is to solidify that legacy. We will continue to position the fair as a welcoming platform that caters to both entry level collectors and design aficionados, and a space where art and design are approached in a way that transcends trends. This chapter is a continuation of my exploration in the transformative world of art and events—a journey that remains grounded in my love for connecting through creativity.” Dessources was born in New York and spent her childhood in Haiti. From a young age, Dessources’ fascination with art has been a guiding thread throughout her life. The unexpected turn into the world of art fairs and event management took place almost 20 years ago. After earning her Bachelor of Arts Degree from the City College of New York, Dessources first started working at the Steve McCurry Studio and the Richard Avedon Foundation. After establishing her own photography company, Dessources joined Sanford L. Smith + Associates in 2015, where she focused on her passion and has worked ever since. "We are thrilled to welcome Nicky Dessources as Executive Director," says Jill Bokor. "With her behind-the-scenes experience in nearly every aspect of the fair, from production to fruition, and track record for growth at Sanford L. Smith + Associates, we are confident that she will lead Salon to new heights, fostering even greater collaboration within the design community.” Prior to her role as Executive Director, Dessources started as an office assistant at Sanford L. Smith + Associates, and gradually rose to the role of Logistics and Fair Director for events such as the ABAA New York International Antiquarian Book Fair, the ADAA Art Show and Salon Art + Design. Dessources has learned firsthand all the innerworkings of the fair and its unique landscape, closely observing its evolution over the years, and giving her a unique advantage and understanding of Salon and its many moving parts. As Logistics and Fair Director at Sanford L. Smith + Associates, her focus was to execute the most successful fairs and nurture relationships with more than 350 galleries. With her in-depth experience in fostering meaningful partnerships and collaborative formats, Dessources is uniquely equipped to lead the New York fair and steer its future direction. The 13th edition of Salon Art + Design will take place this November 7 – 11 at Park Avenue Armory. SALON

Long-Lost Painting From the New York World’s Fair Is Now Up for Grabs The 1939 World Fair's theme was "The World of Tomorrow." The long-lost Rockwell Kent oil painting will be at the Salon Art + Design fair in New York. By Sarah Cascone

A lost oil painting from the 1939 World’s Fair in New York City is resurfacing at the 13th edition of Salon Art + Design, the collectible design fair at New York’s Park Avenue Armory. https://news.artnet.com/market/worlds-fair-mural-salon-art-and-design-2564866
The work, by Rockwell Kent (1882–1971), is the only existing version of a monumental mural that the Modernist artist made for the 1939–40 World’s Fair in New York City. “This painting has almost never been seen,” Bernard Goldberg, of New York’s Bernard Goldberg Fine Art, told me. “It is in absolutely perfect condition. It is just so well-preserved. No retouching, nothing. It’s just the way it was.” General Electric commissioned the artist to make a 50-foot mural for their pavilion at the exhibition, held at Flushing Meadows–Corona Park in Queens. The piece, titled Power, reflected the overall theme of the fair, which was “the world of tomorrow.” “Kent did this modern allegory representing the Dark Ages on the left, and the opposite side is the workers surging forward in front of a huge electrical turbine. Through the center of it is the whole city of the future,” Goldberg said. ”It is a tale, really, of man’s progress and development over the ages.”

The dramatic composition starts with a scene of witchcraft and sorcery, people gathered around a fire pit and cauldron. But aloft in the night sky, above towering city buildings, a pair of naked male and female figures are bringing forth the light of progress, in a celebration of technological advancement and vision of a bright future. The company also had Kent make this 15-by-50-inch, perfectly to-scale version for publicity purposes, Goldberg explained, as the full-sized one was too big to capture in photographs for the pavilion brochure. Its appearance at Salon Art + Design marks the first time it has been publicly exhibited. A fire reduced the monumental version to ashes, sadly, in the 1940s, when the warehouse where GE was storing it burned down. The smaller work came to the dealer thanks to another high-profile discovery, of a pair of Winold Reiss murals from the original restaurant at New York’s Empire State Building.

Because Goldberg offered those paintings at last year’s TEFAF art fair, also at the Park Avenue Armory, the owner of the Kent work thought the dealer might be able to help identify his latest acquisition. The anonymous collector had purchased the painting at a New England auction house, which had identified the artist as a little-known illustrator—but the new owner had a hunch it was by Kent. To confirm the attribution, Goldberg turned to art historian Scott Ferris, the leading expert on the artist. Thanks to the Archives of American Art at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C., “He said it is absolutely 100 percent Rockwell Kent,” Goldberg said. “He was extremely, extremely excited. Thought it was a tremendous find!” “What makes the painting so special and unique is that it can be traced directly to the archived correspondence between Rockwell Kent and the General Electric executives,” Scott told me in an email. “Even more important to note is that this painting was not a study, but a smaller version that precisely corresponded with the mural which was installed at the World’s Fair. And that 50-foot mural was destroyed years later.” https://news.artnet.com/market/worlds-fair-mural-salon-art-and-design-2564866

The gallery is asking $975,000 for the work, which was held at GE’s Schenectady headquarters before passing into private hands under unknown circumstances. “This is really a very unusual Rockwell Kent, and it deserves that kind of price,” Goldberg said. “This is absolutely more important than anything else he’s done. And of course, it’s very rare.” If the gallery is able to sell the work at that price, it would be the artist’s most expensive piece ever sold. Kent’s record at auction is $852,500, according to the Artnet Price Database. That result came in at Sotheby’s New York in 2016, for his painting GRAY DAY, a dramatic snowy landscape painted during one of several sojourns in Greenland.

Ideally, the Goldberg is hoping to attract an institutional buyer, such as the Museum of the City of New York or New York’s Whitney Museum of American Art. “We always prefer museum buying, so the public can see it. And this is such a historical work, being from the World’s Fair. And it’s just so New York. It’s really a prize for a museum,” he said, noting that he already has interest—from a private collection. “But the size is also perfect for a home. If somebody comes and says ‘we want it,’ I’m going to sell it to them.” Today, Kent might be a rather obscure figure in art history, perhaps best known for his Moby Dick illustrations. But at the height of his fame, he was so popular that the New Yorker proclaimed in November 1937 that “that day will mark a precedent, which brings no news of Rockwell Kent.” Ferris included that quote in his catalogue essay for the record-setting Sotheby’s sale, writing rather poetically that “Rockwell Kent was as roughly hewn from the proverbial American maple tree as were his spiritual antecedents Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, and Walt Whitman.”

Kent did his undergraduate in architecture at New York’s Columbia University, and studied painting with William Merritt Chase at Long Island’s Shinnecock Hills Summer School of Art, with Robert Henri at the New York School of Art (now the Parsons School of Design at the New School), and at New York’s Art Students League. The artist was something of an adventurer, living for a time in such far-flung locales as Vermont, Alaska, Ireland, and Tierra del Fuego off the tip of South America. Inspired by his surroundings, Kent depicted rugged natural landscapes across the world during his voyages, capturing the peace and serenity of the untouched wilderness. His World’s Fair mural, therefore, stands apart from the rest of Kent’s oeuvre (although he also also made murals for post offices while employed by the WPA). “In our opinion, this is better than anything else he’s done,” Goldberg said. “His landscapes of Iceland and all that are wonderful, but this is full of action and activity, and the rarity of it—it’s the only thing left of the World’s Fair!” Salon Art + Design is on view at the Park Avenue Armory, 643 Park Avenue at East 67th Street, New York, New York, November 7–11, 2024.

A New York settembre è il mese dell’Armory Show, fiera di arte moderna e contemporanea di stanza allo Javits Center, che quest’anno si terrà dal 6 all’8 settembre. Acquisita nell’estate 2023 da Frieze, la fiera americana celebra nel 2024 trent’anni dalla sua fondazione, riunendo 235 gallerie da 35 Paesi e chiamando a raccolta per l’importante anniversario tre curatrici che conoscono bene la città: Eugenie Tsai, Robyn Farrell e Lauren Cornell, a coordinare rispettivamente le sezioni Platform, Focus e il programma del Curatorial Leadership Summit. L’Art Week di New York con l’Armory Show e le altre fiere, tra conferme e disdette Tutte hanno lavorato sul tema che caratterizzerà l’edizione dell’Armory Show alle porte, indagando sugli effetti e le ripercussioni della storia dell’arte sulle ricerche del presente. Ma come di consueto, l’Armory Show sarà solo l’evento di punta di un’Art week cresciuta a comprendere, negli anni, una serie di fiere tematiche dedicate al mondo dell’arte, della fotografia, del design. Come Art on Paper, dedicata alle opere su carta, o l’“anti-fiera” Clio Art Fair, che sostiene gli artisti indipendenti, e Spring/Break, fiera fondata dalla coppia di artisti Andrew Gori e Ambre Kelly che torna quest’anno negli ex uffici di Ralph Lauren sulla Madison Avenue, con un’edizione incentrata sulla fortuna. Qualcosa non ha funzionato, invece, per Photofairs New York, edizione americana della rassegna già consolidata a Londra e Shangai, che ha debuttato in città nel 2023 ma non tornerà quest’anno, “in attesa di condizioni di mercato più favorevoli” evidentemente presenti a Hong Kong, dove la fiera esordirà nella primavera 2025.

Collectible New York: il debutto delle fiera di design Per la prima volta in versione newyorkese, invece, si presenterà ai blocchi di partenza Collectible, fiera belga dedicata al design contemporaneo, che ha all’attivo già sette edizioni a Bruxelles. L’edizione inaugurale, sotto la direzione di Emily Marant, si terrà dal 5 all’8 settembre (VIP preview il 4), in concomitanza con l’Armory Show, al Water Street Associates Building nel Financial District, con sei sezioni e quattro e un programma affidato alla curatela di Sonya Tamaddon. “New York ci sembra un palcoscenico ideale per esportare Collectible” spiegano le fondatrici della fiera Clélie Debehault e Liv Vaisberg “I designer europei vogliono avere una vetrina in città, quelli americani cercano un pubblico europeo”. E dunque il parterre degli espositori sarà costituito in parte da realtà newyorkesi, in parte da gallerie europee, tutte specializzate in design contemporaneo, con l’idea di dialogare con il Salon Art + Design che New York ospita abitualmente nel mese di novembre, prendendo in https://www.artribune.com/progettazione/design/2024/08/fiera-collectible-newyork-art-week-2024/
considerazione però un arco temporale più ampio per creazioni dall’Ottocento in avanti. La scelta di puntare solo sul design del XXI Secolo conferma la volontà di Collectible di posizionarsi anche sul mercato d’oltreoceano con un’identità precisa, offrendo una piattaforma ben definita al mercato del collezionismo.

Collectible New York 2024. I temi e gli espositori A New York la fiera sarà allestita su due piani con vista sull’East River e Brooklyn, in uno spazio in stile industrial – non dissimile dal Vanderborght di Bruxelles, dove si tiene l’edizione belga – ripensato per l’occasione dallo studio newyorkese Volfram (già al lavoro per Art Basel Miami). Accanto alle gallerie della Main Section, gli espositori invitati per animare la sezione Dialogue proporranno un confronto tra pezzi degli Anni Ottanta e https://www.artribune.com/progettazione/design/2024/08/fiera-collectible-newyork-art-week-2024/
Novanta e creazioni contemporanee, mentre l’area New Garde darà spazio a gallerie emergenti e collettivi con meno di tre anni di attività alle spalle. Agli studi di design indipendenti è invece dedicata la sezione Bespoke, con lavori su commissione: per l’Italia c’è Studio Intervallo. Sarà inoltre riproposta la sezione Outdoor, con pezzi dedicati al “conceptual garden”, e debutterà con l’edizione americana la nuova sezione Fashion, in dialogo con la Fashion Week newyorkese. Nella sezione curata da Sonya Tamaddon, designer indipendenti emergenti e mid-career hanno lavorato sul tema fornito dal componimento Having a Coke With You, scritto nel 1960 da Frank O’Hara; tra loro anche tre realtà italiane, M’ama Edizioni, Studio Musa e Studio DanielK.

This has been a challenging year for small galleries. Contending with much of the existing economic conditions that have lingered since 2023, this has been a year in which galleries have been faced with numerous hurdles, from rising rents to stubbornly high borrowing costs. But despite these macro-challenges (which do show signs of changing), several galleries have made key strides in 2024. From newly launched names that have made an immediate impact in their local art scenes to more longstanding names that took their programming to new heights, we spotlight 10 galleries that have a breakout year in 2024. https://www.artsy.net/article/artsy-editorial-10-galleries-breakout-year-2024

Founded in 2020, Amsterdam-based Mia Karlova Galerie made several standout appearances at some of the world’s most preeminent design fairs this year. In October, the gallery presented at PAD Paris 2024 with an environmentally motivated display featuring seven artists, including Sho Ota, Vadim Kibardin, and Andriy Voznick. Just one month later, the gallery mounted a show at Salon Art + Design New York, showing a selection of its roster, including Jordi Sarrate and Olga Engel. A growing tastemaker in the fast-growing intersection between art and design, the gallery’s program aims to champion functional art pieces. “We surround ourselves with objects that bring us the pleasure of contemplation,” founder Mia Karlova wrote on her gallery’s website. Within just four years, it has generated attention by working intimately with each artist to coproduce design objects from their initial sketches to their final iterations.

The Female Design Council and Thornton Projects Welcome Guests to Salon Art + Design A statement-making point of entry for the acclaimed design fair By David Graver
Image by Marcus De Paula
If an entryway can act as a metaphor for a design fair’s thesis statement, then the welcoming halls of the Park Avenue Armory set exceedingly high expectations for what follows at this https://coolhunting.com/design/the-female-design-council-and-thornton-projectswelcome-guests-to-salon-art-design/
year’s Salon Art + Design. In the south hall, the Female Design Council‘s members presentation introduced the eye-catching works of six women-led studios. In the north hall, and flanking the passage into the fair’s main floor, Thornton Projects founder Brad Thornton stunned with a spectacle of flower, light and stone. Beyond these first steps, of course, was one of the most compelling iterations of Salon Art + Design, now overseen by executive director Nicky Dessources, which spotlighted exciting presentations ranging from Milan’s legendary Nilufar Gallery to London and New York-based jewelry designer Fernando Jorge.

“I was selected this year by the team to curate the front of house,” Thornton tells COOL HUNTING, “everything from the florals to the various installations, including these beautiful illuminated alabaster pillars by Marcus De Paula from Love House.” Two other pieces mirrored this glowing beacon. Thornton introduced an amorphous table lamp by Marcelo Suro for Superhouse—and designer Mary Wallis, who also happens to be a Female Design Council member and is represented by The Future Perfect, was commissioned for the engaging chandelier upfront. As for the abundance of otherworldly, artful florals, Thornton worked with NYC and LA-based design studio Audrey in the Garden.

The name of the installation is “Saluto,” derived from the Latin word to greet. In addition to it being an enveloping point of entry, “we wanted to nod to the fact that it’s an autumnal celebration,” he adds. “We also had the idea of nature reclaiming this beautiful, historic space.” For many fairgoers, the confluence of thoughtfully imagined lighting design and sprawling natural arrangements were reason to pause and reflect with wonder and awe.

This is the Female Design Council’s first presentation at Salon Art + Design, and it demonstrates the professional network and advocacy organization’s categoric depth. “We have furniture, sculpture, artwork and lighting,” founder Lora Appleton tells COOL HUNTING of their visual vignette. “We have INDO-, with the premiere of the Purdah Mirror. We have MATERIA, and this is the first showing of the floor lamp from their PLATEAU collection. We have Konekt, with their Silo Console Table. We have Tina Scepanovic showing the ‘Gobstoppers No. 24 Artwork.’ Her study is all about hand-finishes and this is all 24k gold https://coolhunting.com/design/the-female-design-council-and-thornton-projectswelcome-guests-to-salon-art-design/
leaf. Then we have Lisa Sacco, this fierce up-and-comer. For her glasswork pieces, she takes old reclaimed objects and blows glass around them. This is the first time she is showing ‘Vital Friction, Calescent II Sculpture.’ It just came out of the studio. Finally, we have Kristi Bender and Wendy Schwartz of Cuff Studio showing their fun Fraggle Block Stool.”

Though the Female Design Council selected these six members to spotlight, many others could be found on the floor throughout Salon Art + Design—including a solo booth from Little https://coolhunting.com/design/the-female-design-council-and-thornton-projectswelcome-guests-to-salon-art-design/
Wing Lee, the founder of Blacks Folks in Design and Studio & Projects. For anyone unfamiliar, however, their south hall presentation was both an introduction and an exclamation point. “It’s a real opportunity for us to show the strength of women in design and what we’re all about. We see this in flecks and specks through the industry but this is a real focus. For us, it’s about being able to speak to the whole community. We are the most powerful network for women in design and we feel proud about that,” Appleton concludes.

Salon Art + Design 2024 Stop by the show at the Park Avenue Armory through Monday, November 11. By Sharon King Hoge Organic, abstract, contorted—those are some of the adjectives that come to mind at this year’s Salon Art + Design. Gathered from around the globe, four dozen distinguished exhibitors are showcasing designs ranging from vintage and modern, twentieth-century and ultra-contemporary. Browsers can admire and acquire antiques and collectibles—furniture, studio glass, ceramics, Japanese art, jewelry. They were still setting up the show at the Park Avenue Armory, the 13th edition, when we stopped and picked out just a few objects that caught our attention. Visitors have until Monday to view the cutting-edge options, including the pieces showcased in the slideshow gallery below.

This week only, the finest in vintage, contemporary, and modern design, as well as 20thcentury artwork, can be found at the Park Avenue Armory. Salon Art + Design has returned to New York. For over a decade, the fair has worked to incorporate art into modern life, operating on the belief that decorative objects are what define an environment. This year, members of the prestigious honorary committee span glass blowers, museum curators, and Hollywood stars. CULTURED asked a coterie of them to share their favorite pieces exclusively with CULTURED, to make sure our readers know exactly where to beeline when the doors open to the public on Nov. 7.

In addition to her nonprofit work and place on Vanity Fair’s International Best Dressed List Hall of Fame, the industrybridging powerhouse is a contributing editor to Town and Country and a cofounder of Suite 1521. "This year, I can't wait to see the offerings from Galerie Chastel-Marachal. We had the pleasure of seeing her new space in Paris overlooking the Tuileries Garden and it's magnificent. Aline [Chastel] has the most exquisite taste!"

Catherine Futter is the senior curator, decorative arts, and director of curatorial affairs at the Brooklyn Museum. Recently, her work on American Art Deco: Designing for the People, 19181939 brought her on a national tour. "I am excited by the presentations of the two advocacy groups: Female Design Council and Black Folks in Design. Both are elevating the visibility of talent and skills of designers traditionally marginalized. I know I will see work by designers I should know about and want to follow."

Colin King, stylist, artistic director, and CULTURED’s design editor-at-large, incorporates his experience as a dancer into each of his designs. His balance of movement and stillness has made him a definitive modern American voice. "I am particularly excited to explore the works presented by first-time exhibitors. I have always admired the eye of Larry Weinberg from Weinberg Modern, and I look forward to seeing what fresh perspectives he brings this year. Additionally, I’m eager to experience the site-specific installations, especially those by my friend and longtime collaborator, Giancarlo Valle. These works offer a fascinating glimpse into Valle’s creative world, allowing us to engage with his vision on an intimate scale."

Beth Rudin DeWoody, a native New Yorker and leading arts patron, has curated myriad shows internationally. She also sits on several boards, including those of the Whitney, the Hammer, and Parsons School of Design. “I'm very excited by the work Michele Oka Doner will be showing with first-time Salon exhibitor Elisabetta Cipriani gallery. The result is an art jewelry collection that pays homage to ‘the Botanic Age’—a period before the Stone Age when plants and trees were central to human development and creativity, inspired by the research of Dr. Dean Falk from Florida State University. Michele Oka Doner’s designs, deeply rooted in her connection to nature and human history, reflect a time when humans were stewards of the Earth. Her jewelry serves as spiritual meditations on this era, offering a powerful response to today's ‘plant blindness’—a term describing our disconnection from the natural world due to the Industrial Revolution. The collection is a call to action for a ‘new Botanic Age,’ where art reconnects humanity with the earth.”

One of the objects I am particularly looking forward to seeing and enjoying is the large inlaid jar by the sculptor Tetsuya Ishiyama, shown by the wonderful Ippodo Gallery. Contemplative and evocative at once, it’s a work that invites my imagination to rest and linger on beauty.”

A well done stool with attitude by Jonas Damon in the Verso x Black Folks in Design booth. Worth being buried with: a Bamana Headdress from Pace African & Oceanic Art. And, if you only wanted one art work in your house, this would be a good choice: Josef Albers piece from Zeit Contemporary.”

Dr. Daniella Ohad’s work ranges from curator to talk show host. With a PhD from the Bard Graduate Center for Studies in the Decorative Arts, Design, and Culture, she has worked in design education and theory at leading institutions including Pratt Institute, Parsons New School for Design, and Cooper Union. "I am excited about the project by Onishi Gallery and KOGEI USA, a not-for-profit committed to promoting traditional Japanese crafts that they will bring to Salon. The piece I have selected was created as a part of a program which comes to support Japanese lacquer craftspeople of the town of Wajima, known as the cradle of Japanese lacquer art for centuries. When it was destroyed by the Noto Earthquake in January of 2024, many of its craftspeople lost their studios and the ability to work. This project comes to help them by exhibiting their work in New York and to help them in restoring their studios. This piece represents a new direction in Japanese crafts, where the artist honors traditions in lacquerware, and at the same time creates a contemporary piece, characterized by vivid colors and abstract patterns. It injects new possibilities into a century-old craft and brings it into the heart of 21st-century contemporary art."

As a fine jewelry collector, it’s inspiring to see gems and jewelry amidst art and design exhibitors. Naturally, I’m looking forward to Fernando Jorge’s booth as he will also be Trove’s first designer in residence!”

In November, the design world continues to ramp up to December and Design Miami with new shows, from Salon of Art + Design at the Park Avenue Armory, to openings at Friedman Benda, Superhouse, and Salon 94, among many others. There’s a new homewares and grocery café courtesy of Flynn McGarry, owner of Lower East Side wine bar Gem Wine, and https://www.curbed.com/article/claes-oldenburg-ferrari-rocking-chairs-designedit.html
in midtown at Lever House, we’ll get some monumental Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen pieces, including some of the jumbo-size Pop Art sculptures that made them modern art royalty. Openings: Gem Home

After running out of space at his Lower East Side bar and restaurant, Gem and Gem Wine, Flynn McGarry had to find a more permanent place to indulge his love of design. Inspired by the West Coast grocer-cafés he grew up with, he opened Gem Home at 181 Mott Street. Inside, the shelves are lined with designer linens, Ffern fragrances, antiques, and exclusive collaborations, including a collection of sculpted soap dispensers by the New York ceramist Shane Gabier (though I can’t promise these aren’t already sold out). The interior and custom woodwork (both by McGarry) keeps things pared back. There’s also plenty to eat at the family-style tables made by McGarry from a daily rotating menu of prepared foods, along with pastries, flowers, and homemade preserves that are for sale. Open Wednesday to Sunday 9–6 p.m. Public Art Watch: Pop Art Legends at Lever House

Midtown’s newly restored Lever House will get a lively addition of public art with an exhibition of modern Pop Art legends Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen. Some of the https://www.curbed.com/article/claes-oldenburg-ferrari-rocking-chairs-designedit.html
husband and wife duo’s most iconic sculptures will be displayed inside and outside of the modernist building. Oldenburg’s ode to Mies van der Rohe’s signature pocket square, the 12foot fiberglass Handkerchief, will blow toward Park Avenue, and inside, a giant cloth saw will hug the walls and floor. Alongside these earlier solo works, two of his and van Bruggen’s large-scale collaborations will be on display. The couple made over 25 monumental homages to consumer products like soap and toothpaste together — making Lever House, a former headquarters for the soap manufacturers we now know as Unilever, a fitting backdrop. After a yearlong display of Ellsworth Kelly’s art, this is the second public exhibition at the renovated office building. Opens on November 18. Archival Deep Dive: Superhouse’s “Colorama”

Superhouse’s two-person show “Colorama,” continues the downtown gallery’s studious approach to American craft, spotlighting instrumental and lesser-known figures of art furniture. Since the ’80s, Tom Loeser and Wendy Maruyama, pioneering figures of the postwar American Studio Craft movement, have created furniture that challenges the conventions of woodworking and uses color with both precision and a sense of irreverence. Maruyama’s wall-mounted cabinets are paneled in psychedelic colors but are restrained and precise in detail. Loeser’s “Switchback,” a wooden two-seater bench, has an A-frame-like structure that allows the seat to function backward and forward. Metal straps bound the rounded felt body of his But But But chair, which has three circles painted in different colors and sizes on its seat, suggesting allocated seating. They last exhibited as a pair in San Francisco in 1984. Opens on November 14.

Growing up with a geologist father, the designer Matthew Fisher is well acquainted with stone, and it appears to be a central medium in his range of furniture and objects. This month, the designer will present his 120-piece collection at his new gallery in a somewhat unusual location, downtown’s Seaport neighborhood. Marble vessels, tabletop slabs, consoles, and most intriguingly, lampshades are presented in a gallery styled like a house, with help from Michael Reynolds, an editor at AD and Wallpaper*. Fisher’s stone pieces are installed throughout the rooms and the courtyard, showing the medium’s possibilities at every scale, from a 600-pound stone planter that looks like a chalice to a light of silver links that dangles to the floor like a bracelet. There’s even a range of more portable objects, most of which are made from offcuts, like a modestly sized blue-marble and bronze incense holder. Opens on November 14 at 106 South Street.

At “Obsessed by Nature,” a Ferrari car seat is perched on a bed of exposed rods and bolts and functions as a battery-operated rocking chair. A tower of pink, powder-coated steel is planted in a hefty stone, a floor lamp that looks salvaged from a factory floor. The rest of the pieces by Enrico Marone Cinzano at Friedman Benda are similarly unsettling. Using only found or discarded materials, the Italian artist recombines them into works that question what is trash and what is functional, and knit-together industrial fragments with raw materials like marble, wood, and stone. Cinzano, previously a financier and property developer, has not had the typical artist’s trajectory (and his family lineage is also more glamorous than most — his great-grandfather was a founder of Fiat Automobiles and his https://www.curbed.com/article/claes-oldenburg-ferrari-rocking-chairs-designedit.html
family runs the Cinzano wine company). He has prioritized sustainability in previous business ventures, from a fashion brand to a home-product line. With his furniture design, it’s not just about recycling, the artist says, but a question of maximizing beauty and function in the materials of our daily lives. Opens on November 14.

New Energy at Salon Art + Design NY By Staff Writer
Not quite new attitude or new look but definitely new leadership, new perspective and new energy at Salon Art + Design in New York City this month. Nicky Dessources, the new director, made this happen by including a more diverse group of artists and expanding the sometimes-homogenous feel of the show in past years. This made the show robust with a more sanguine possibility of finding the next great piece for collectors to acquire. Many pieces exhibited had a modern fluidity to them even if the date said otherwise and would delight the very best interior designers to play and mix timelines. This new energy played well with the ethos of Maison Gerard, whose brilliance of pairing glazed stone from 1927 with sculptured lighting from 2018 was a favorite. The 13th edition of the fair hosted more https://designandstylereport.com/2024/11/22/new-energy-at-salon-art-design-ny/
than 54 global exhibitors across five days, presenting vintage and contemporary pieces at the Park Avenue Armory. Featured image: detail of Piriform Amphora

Take 5: A Cosmic Plant Stand, a Collectible Cabinet + More Twice a month we invite one of the Design Milk team members to share five personal favorites – an opportunity for each of us to reveal the sort of designs we love and appreciate in our own lives from a more personal perspective. Managing Editor Joseph Sgambati III returns this week for our Take 5 series. By Joseph Sgambati III
https://design-milk.com/take-5-a-cosmic-plant-stand-a-collectible-cabinet-more/
3. BRYLA cabinet by Serhiy and Anna Baiersdorf for Yakusha Narratives of resilience, sensuality, and pride are deeply ingrained in Ukrainian craft as showcased by emerging design duo Serhiy and Anna Baiersdorf with BRYLA, translating to ‘boulder’. The objet d’art was commissioned by architect and designer Victoria Yakusha for her DZHERELO exhibition at this year’s Salon Art + Design in Manhattan. The brutalistleaning home furnishing functions as both a kinetic sculpture and cabinet, symbolizing balance and unity upon assembly. Individual elements build on, complement, and enhance one another. This interplay is highlighted through its notched forms and evenly weathered surfaces, which are adorned with liquid metal and glass components. And at a time like this, her future-retro design exudes optimism the world so desperately needs.

Collectible design fair announces New York edition for September 2024 By Jennifer Hahn
European design fair Collectible is expanding into the US, with its debut overseas edition set to take place in New York City alongside The Armory Show in September. Collectible founders Clélie Debehault and Liv Vaisberg announced the news as the seventh edition of the fair, dedicated to contemporary collectible design, opened in Brussels this week. "New York came across as an obvious outpost," the duo told Dezeen. "European designers want to show in NYC, American designers want a European crowd, it just all felt very right." https://www.dezeen.com/2024/03/07/collectible-design-fair-new-york-city/
Top image: Collectible's New York edition will take place in the financial district. Above: the fair was founded by Liv Vaisberg and Clélie Debehault
Collectible's inaugural US edition will take place at Water Street Projects – a 50,000-squarefoot space dedicated to contemporary arts inside the WSA building in New York's financial district. Timed to coincide with The Armory Show art fair between 5 and 8 September, the fair intends to create a platform dedicated solely to 21st-century collectible design in New York. Debehault and Vaisberg hope the event can offer a counterpoint to the city's Salon Art + Design fair in November, which casts a broader net and shows work from the 19th century onwards. https://www.dezeen.com/2024/03/07/collectible-design-fair-new-york-city/
Founded in Brussels in 2017, Collectible provides show space for design galleries and institutions alongside independent studios, while a curated section invites participation from emerging designers. This year's New York edition will spotlight local galleries and designers alongside their European counterparts. "NY was always very warm to Collectible and in the past years, we've discovered amazing new galleries and initiatives, which we want to embrace and put forward," the founders said. The news comes after Milan design platform Alcova launched its Miami edition during Design Miami last December. Design Miami, meanwhile, recently announced its expansion to Los Angeles, with the first Californian edition set to take place in May 2024. Collectible NYC will take place at Water Street Projects in New York City from 5 to 8 September 2024.

Dezeen selects standout American design and architecture events from November By Ben Dreith
From the solo furniture shows of Jomo Tariku, Chris Schank and Norman Teague to an exhibition imagining the ramifications of cities on a planetary scale, Dezeen's US editor Ben Dreith selects worthwhile exhibitions from the United States.
https://www.dezeen.com/2024/11/29/american-design-exhibitions-november-2024/
From the statewide PST Art fair in California to trade shows such as BDNY in New York, there were a variety of exhibitions in the design and architecture community in November. The exhibitions below range in scale and content, from speculative architecture exhibitions to full-scale retrospectives of work by furniture designers. While the events, as always, clustered around the design hubs of New York and Los Angeles, a few noteworthy exhibitions showcased work outside of the core, with inclusions from Philadelphia and Detroit. Beyond the shows listed here, Dezeen took a closer look at several exhibitions, including a showcase of columns that challenge architectural history by Germane Barnes, the expansive Smithsonian Design Triennial at the Cooper Hewitt, and a showcase of the intersection of generative video game design and furniture. Read on for 10 ten stand-out shows across the country and for more worldwide exhibitions visit Dezeen Events Guide.

6 Things We Can’t Wait to See at This Year’s Salon Art + Design Fair Its executive director, Nicky Dessources, reveals her top picks. By Sean Santiago

As far as design showcases go, Salon Art + Design is unique in its position as the nexus of its dual namesakes: fine art and collectible design. Founded in 2012 by the late Sanford L. Smith, Salon, which opens this Thursday at the Park Avenue Armory in New York City, is now in the hands of executive director Nicky Dessources. Her goal? Expand the fair’s mission while upholding Smith’s legacy of creativity and passion. “I want to continue the atmosphere of warmth and accessibility,” Dessources tells ELLE DECOR. “Gallerists can essentially bring whatever they want. That freedom is exciting—for them and for the audience, because you never know what you might find.” To that end, Dessources inaugurated a Design and Art Advisory Council, including many ELLE DECOR A-List talents: Kelly Behun, Jeremiah Brent, Andre Mellone, and Christine and John Gachot. The fair will also offer dynamic programming like Salon Conversations, a highlight of which is a panel discussion between David Kleinberg, actress Julianne Moore, author and gallerist Evan Lobel, and New York’s Wendy Goodman; and site-specific design installations including an entryway by Brad Thornton, a dedicated café space by frenchCALIFORNIA dubbed the Parlor, and a display of miniatures by Studio Giancarlo Valle. “I want design to be present in every aspect of the space,” says Dessources. “It has to function, but I also want it to be creative.” From cocktail rings to cocktail tables, here are a few of the most exciting booths we’ll be checking out at the 13th edition of Salon Art + Design.

1 Studio Giancarlo Valle’s Miniatures
In addition to a unique entryway design and dedicated café space, the fair will also host a site-specific miniatures installation that highlights Studio Giancarlo Valle’s use of dollhouselike maquettes. “I think it’s really important to see, in terms of understanding an interior designer’s process,” says Dessources. Pieces on view will include a handmade clay sofa, a 3Dprinted table, and a detailed model of the dining pavilion for a recently completed villa in St. Barts.

2 Head-Turning Jewels

“We added jewelry [to our programming] for the first time last year,” says Dessources. “It’s something that we’ve always wanted to do but weren’t sure it was the right time. It turned out to be hugely successful.” This year will see Brazilian jeweler Fernando Jorge debut his sculptural pieces on the floor, while Elisabetta Cipriani will showcase a collaboration with renowned artist Michele Oka Doner.

For the first time this year, the Female Design Council (FDC) has a designated space to highlight women designers of the moment. Organized by founder Lora Appleton, the FDC Member Presentation will showcase eight women from six studios, including Megan Somerville of Materia, who will be showing her studio’s latest lighting collection, Plateau, which features lampshades comprised of hundreds of handsewn parchment sequins.

4 Global Gallerists
Morgane Lay & Jonny Cochrane
A number of young galleries will debut at the fair this year, including London-based Crosta Smith, with a booth designed by Martin Brûlé, and the Brazilian studio Bossa Furniture, which opened a space in Chelsea earlier this year. “[Bossa] founder Isabela Milagre is a trailblazer in the industry,” says Dessources. “Their collection features masterpieces by renowned designers such as Lina Bo Bardi and Sergio Rodrigues, along with contemporary artists like Juliana Vasconcellos.”

5 Black Folks in Design
Kelly Marshall
The nonprofit network Black Folks in Design, founded by the award-winning interior designer Little Wing Lee, will unveil their its exhibition with Amauri Aguiar’s collectible design gallery Verso, also making its Salon debut. Entitled Spotlight III, the booth will feature work by artists and designers including Michael Bennet, founder of Studio Kër, as well as Jonas Damon, Asmite, and more. I want the fair to be a space that fosters a diverse range of backgrounds and genres,” says Dessources. “By creating inclusive spaces and opportunities, we can challenge the status quo and celebrate a wide range of perspectives.”

6 Jeremy Anderson’s Inventive Ceramics
London-based Gallery FUMI is turning over their entire booth to the ceramic artist Jeremy Anderson, whose debut solo presentation, “The Space Inside,” will feature table lamps, chandeliers, sconces, and floor lamps made of wheel-thrown components. The emotive lights, outfitted in beads and with new material combinations including blown glass and wood, will be shown alongside a series of Art Nouveau–inspired tables.

Salon Art & Design. Don´t miss this By Louisa Falkenberg
https://louisafalkenberg.elle.se/dont-miss-this/salon-art-design/
@thesalonny Jag vet inte om någon av er är bekanta med Salon Art & Design (@thesalonny). För mig var det iallafall inte allt för länge sen jag fick upp ögonen för denna design-happening i New York. Det är en mässa som visar upp över 50 av världens mest inflytelserika gallerier inom konst, arkitektur och design. Det är ett globalt spektrum av de mest sofistikerade och exklusiva gallerierna som specialiserar sig på både konst och dekorativ konst. Nivån är absolut skyhög och jag är helt tagen av allt vackert som går att hitta. Tyvärr är priserna dessvärre lika skyghöga. Jag tänkte iallafall passa på att lyfta några av höjdpunkterna som stack ut för mig. Först ut är återkomsten av Nilufar, mitt favoritgalleri i världen (!), som ställer ut igen efter ett femårigt uppehåll med sin vanliga samling av spektakulära verk. Jag blev helt tagen av en fantastisk golvlampa, tillverkad genom omfattande experiment där material som stenar och stockar var digitalt modellerade, överdimensionerade och täckta med keramik. Detta är Terrario golvlampan från Analogia Project. Ja, ni ser bilder på den där uppe. https://louisafalkenberg.elle.se/dont-miss-this/salon-art-design/
Ett annat mästerverk som fångade mitt hjärta var ett bord av den italienska studion Etereo, från deras Faraglioni-kollektion — uppkallad efter de ikoniska kustklipporna på Capri. Det gjutna bronsbordet med glasskiva är ett sant konstverk som förenar konst och design i perfekt harmoni. Ja, helt perfekt i mina ögon. Sist men inte minst Giancarlo Valle otroliga miniatyrhem, tillverkade med varje noggrann detalj, förtjänar en plats som en tredje showstopper. Om du missade det kan du ta reda på alla detaljer HÄR. Det var bara en liten avstickare ifrån allt som jag tyckte kunde vara kul att dela med er som är intresserade av konst och design. Från och med nu är min nästa dröm att besöka denna mässa i NY. // L.

This November, Salon Art + Design fair returns for its 13th year with new exhibitors, immersive installations, and a newly minted Design & Art advisory council. Under the Park Avenue Armory’s grandiose wrought-iron beams, 41 fair exhibitors will stage brightly lit vitrines featuring furniture, decorative objects, and fine art. Produced by the same organizers behind Ephemera Fair and the New York International Antiquarian Book Fair, Salon Art + Design consistently widens its array of exhibitors every year. This year’s fair also marks a new tenure with the start of Nicky Dessources. Under the executive director’s expansive vision, upcoming programming features an exciting lineup of newcomers such as New York-based Bossa Furniture, a gallery that specializes in mid-century Brazilian seating and ceramics, as well as London-based luxury jewelry purveyor Elisabetta Cipriani, whose wearable sculptures are designed by contemporary artists. Seasoned exhibitors include Boccara, a New York based textile gallery that carries works by Sonia Delaunay and Le Corbusier, decorative-art dealer J Lohmann’s selection of labyrinthine ceramic vessels and botanical creations, furniture by Italian design powerhouse NILUFAR, and Galerie Gmurzynska, a Swiss gallery with a strong roster of artists whose work has shaped the canon of 20th century art history, such as Joan Miró and Fernando Botero. As part of the fair's partnership with Dia Art Foundation, proceeds from its preview will benefit a major upcoming exhibition at Dia Chelsea featuring Duane Linklater. Over the last decade, Salon Art + Design has continued to evolve with the times, showcasing eclectic, innovative pieces alongside antiques. This year, its compelling programming brings together design firms and collectors alike. Salon Art + Design runs from November 7, 2024 through November 11 2024 at the Park Avenue Armory at 643 Park Ave New York, NY 10065.

Julianne Moore joins Salon Art + Design committee Julianne Moore has been asked to join Salon Art + Design‘s honorary committee for 2024, due to her "great eye for collectible design". By Elisa Carollo
Julianne Moore joins Salon Art + Design committee
The 63-year-old actress - who is set to play art restorer Dianne Modestini in an upcoming TV series about Leonardo da Vinci’s Salvator Mundi painting - was invited to join the committee due to her "great eye for collectible design". https://www.femalefirst.co.uk/lifestyle-fashion/stylenews/julianne-moore-joinssalon-art-design-committee-1403185.html
Nicky Dessources, the fair’s new executive director, told WWD: "Julianne Moore has attended our fair as a client of some of our exhibitors and has a great eye for collectible design. It felt only natural to invite her to be part of our Salon family and join our impressive honorary committee this year. We’re excited to partner with some of our supporters, like Julianne, in a more involved way. "These members embody the spirit of Salon, many of them pushing the boundaries of how we define or view design. Our committee is an exciting mix of renowned and emerging collectors, tastemakers, institutional leaders and more." She will join art enthusiasts including glassmaker Paul Arnhold; Bergdorf Goodman’s Linda Fargo, artistic director, stylist and editor Colin King, and art patron Beth Rudin DeWoody among others on the committee. The 2024 Salon Art + Design – a fair which features over 50 of the world's most influential galleries in art, architecture, and design - will be held at New York’s Park Avenue Armory from November 7 to 11. During the five-day event, Moore will participate in a panel discussion with Evan Lobel of New York City gallery Lobel Modern.

Sanford L. Smith + Associates Positioned for Growth Following Legacy of Founder By Staff Writer
https://www.finebooksmagazine.com/fine-books-news/sanford-l-smith-associatespositioned-growth-following-legacy-founder
SANFORD L. SMITH + ASSOCIATES
Sanford L. Smith + Associates (SLSA) has announced that the company, left by Smith to wife and partner Jill Bokor, Chief Executive Officer Jennifer Stark, and Managing Director and Executive Director of Salon Art + Design Nicky Dessources, is in a stable position with projections for growth and plans to uphold and honor the legacy of Smith. Colin Lynch Smith, the eldest of Smith’s four sons said: “My brothers and I are thrilled that the company that our father began will continue under such strong and creative leadership. We can’t wait to see what’s next.” SLSA is known for managing and producing internationally renowned fairs which include the ABAA New York International Antiquarian Book Fair. “Sandy was the master showman, and nothing delighted him more finding a niche in the art and design world and filling it with an unexpected new event,” said Jill Bokor his wife and https://www.finebooksmagazine.com/fine-books-news/sanford-l-smith-associatespositioned-growth-following-legacy-founder
longtime partner in the business. “Many attendees of the fairs will remember Sandy sitting at the front of the fair watching the people come in. It thrilled him.” After retiring from the business one year ago, Smith gave a great deal of thought to the succession of his company, which will continue to be named for its founder. Smith remained Chairman Emeritus and left the business in the hands of Stark (CEO), Dessources (Managing Director), and Bokor (General Counselor). Together they will continue to maintain and grow their core fairs and lead the company in a trajectory of growth. Already under their leadership, SLSA took on a new fair in 2024, managing the Ephemera Society of America’s (ESA) Ephemera Fair in Greenwich, Connecticut this past March. “I have full confidence that the business will continue to blossom,” said Jennifer Stark. “Sandy built an incredible company and surrounded himself with people he trusted wholeheartedly. The entire team is dedicated to honoring his legacy while taking the company into new and exciting territory in the coming years.” Bokor and Smith maintained a special, close personal and professional relationship, working together to grow the company and raise their son, Luc-Bokor Smith. Prior to her role as General Counselor, Bokor served as Executive Director of Salon Art + Design for more than a decade. Dessources joined SLSA in 2015 and swiftly advanced to the role of Logistics and Fair Director for Salon Art + Design and the ABAA NYIABF. Now, Dessources succeeds Bokor as Executive Director of Salon Art + Design, where she will oversee all aspects of the fair. Stark, has been a pivotal figure in the company since 2014. She has over 30 years of experience producing high-caliber events and has been instrumental in managing day to day operations of SLSA, The Art Show, and spearheading the marketing and promotion for the New York International Antiquarian Book Fair and Salon Art + Design. SLSA is currently planning the 65th Annual ABAA NYIABF taking place April 3 – 6, 2025 at Park Avenue Armory and the 45th Annual Ephemera Fair, March 14 – 16, 2025 in Greenwich, Connecticut.

Over 2,500 People Attend Salon Art + Design 2024 Opening Night By Bettina Zilkha Salon Art + Design held its 13th opening night Thursday, welcoming a record-breaking 2,500 attendees to the Park Avenue Armory. 54 exhibitors featured the best they had to offer in design, art and jewelry, with many return participants filling the booths. The fair once again partnered with Dia Art Foundation, with proceeds raised from early entry tickets going to support the cause. Produced by Sanford Smith + Associates, the fair saw a remarkable 64% rise in pre-sale ticket purchases over previous years. “Design and art go together,” said Dia Chairman of the Board and the evening’s Co-Chair, Nathalie de Gunzburg. “It’s a mutual support.” “We have a very specific aesthetic at Dia,” said Dia Director Jessica Morgan. “It’s not that everything here is about our particular identity, but it’s the idea of gathering people together who care deeply about the look, the feel, the production, the making, that is very important. It’s a perfect synergy for us. Dia is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year; we have two incredible projects by Steve McQueen, both in New York and in Beacon.”

Milling about in support of Dia, and hoping to catch the best pieces early, were Eva JeanbartLorenzotti, Helen Schifter, and Huma Abedin. George Farias discussed the Mithe Espelt mirrors at Galerie CC –Castelin Cattin with de Gunzburg, and how their value has increased over the past ten years. “We adore New York,” said Cattin, a first-time exhibitor at Salon Art+Design. “Many of our New York clients from the Marche aux Puces in Paris encouraged us to exhibit here. There is already a lot of interest, especially in the Espelt mirrors.”

Further down the alley, designer David Netto, who recently penned a critically acclaimed book on architect Rosario Candela, chatted with Liz O’Brien about her chic booth.

“I’ve been exhibiting here for about ten years,” said O’Brien, “and we are already doing very well. We sold one of the Cecelia Moore sculptures, and there has been a lot of interest in our other offerings. One of my favorite things this year is a low coffee table by Margaret Bruton, circa 1940, which was done for an interior that Francis Elkins did in Pebble Beach. We have wonderful photos of it in the original room.” Martin Brudnizki, Candace Bushnell, Robert Couturier, Carlos Mota, Wendy Goodman and Aby Rosen made their way through the aisles, looking for that special something. Cameron Silver was helping his friend, Jose Rosas, at the Rosior jewelry booth, as Rosas was unexpectedly shorthanded – his sister was having a baby. “My family has been in the jewelry business since 1890,” said Rosas, who was notably showing a pair of diamond and ruby earrings that looked like wrapped candy. “We are based in Porto, Portugal; that’s why the installation is all about wine. It’s the second time we’re exhibiting here. We have had both new and existing customers coming by. Salon Art + Design is a show that’s unique - I really like the environment and the other exhibitors.”

At Galerie Marcilhac, Felix Marcilhac was showing exquisite art deco pieces. “We have been an art deco gallery since 1969,” said Marcilhac. “We’ve been exhibiting at the Salon for 15 years. We have a lot of interest from customers and we already sold some pieces. https://www.forbes.com/sites/bettinazilkha/2024/11/09/over-2500-people-attendsalon-art--design-2024-opening-night/
Our highlights this year include a Eugene Printz palm wood cabinet which is like a mail or filing cabinet – it’s very chic, and the shape is unique. We are also showing an exceptional Jean-Michel Frank ivory shagreen coffee table.”
Natasha Schlesinger, Christine Mack, Dori Cooperman, Valesca Guerrand-Hermes, Diana Hsu Matt Borkowski/BFA.com
Peter Marino, Nicole Miller, Amanda Ross, Francisco Costa and Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch meandered and mingled, while collector and art dealer Christine Mack was visibly impressed with the fair. “I just got here, and I’m already seeing things I like,” said Mack. “I’m actually here to see a painting by one of my artists in residence, Melissa Rios. She’s based in Mexico City, and she’s showing at Room 57. I love this show – I love the furniture and the art. I never thought of furniture as art before, because I thought it had to be practical, but now that has shifted. I’m obsessed.” Salon Art + Design runs through November 11.

Salon Art + Design Compels Us To Examine The Relationship Between Artwork And Object By Natasha Gural
Installation view of Galerie Gmurzynska booth at Salon Art + Design Jung Ho Park, courtesy of Peter Baker.
A sensuous entanglement of female form and mythical sea creature arouses our gaze and draws us into an eclectic display of sculpture and painting spanning Modernism and Contemporary art. The focal point of the sprawling Galerie Gmurzynska double booth at Salon Art + Design, Henri Laurens’ terracotta sculpture Grande Sirène (1945), engages us in a tussle between the corporeal and the archetypal and takes us on a journey of elegant female ferocity. https://www.forbes.com/sites/natashagural/2024/11/14/salon-art--design-compelsus-to-examine-the-relationship-between-artwork-and-object/
The second-largest terracotta created by French sculptor and illustrator Laurens (18851954) has been a highlight at his retrospectives, and renowned curator Bernard Dorival of the Musée National d'Art Moderne in Paris (now known as Centre Pompidou) described it as “Lauren’s undoubted masterpiece” when the state-run museum purchased a bronze counterpart in 1946. Subsequent bronze casts are in the collections of: MuséeCantini in Marseille, France, (a long-term deposit from Centre Pompidou); Kunsthalle Mannheim in Germany; and Musée royaux des Beaux-Arts de Belgique in Brussels.

Galerie Gmurzynska
Laurens’ sculpture is juxtaposed with a wide range of works by artists including Marjorie Strider, Roberto Matta, Wifredo Lam, and László Moholy–Nagy at the Galerie Gmurzynska booth. The showcase demands to be viewed by multiple angles, as we approach from two aisles. At a fair where design commands many installations that serve as living spaces, the Gmurzynska display itself is a grand feat of design, underscoring the power of fine art to stir emotion and mood. Moreover, displaying a Strider (1931-2014) alongside a Tom Wesselmann (1931-2004) reaffirms her rightful place in art history. Wesselmann’s Great American Nude No. 48 (1963) fetched $10.7 million at Sotheby's in New York in May 2008, while Strider awaits her posthumous celebration as an auction darling. Throughout the Park Avenue Armory, Salon Art + Design, which was on view from November 7-11, an array of environments created by curation of each booth evoke myriad feelings, and implore us to consider design objects in the context of fine art.

Transporting our gaze from museum-quality masterpiece to design, we’re invited to “touch” Willi Siber’s Triptych of Wall Objects (2024) at the Karl Kemp booth. While the freedom to physically interact with artwork is always intriguing, what enticed my son Michael and I was how the colors oscillated between pink, violet, and teal depending on the incidence of light and the viewer’s point of view. We follow the rippling movement of the three panels created on medium-density fiberboard (MDF) with interference varnish milled into the surface. It’s little surprise how fluidly texture, medium, color, and technique align to create motion in Triptych of Wall Objects, as we learn the oeuvre of the German painter, sculptor, and object https://www.forbes.com/sites/natashagural/2024/11/14/salon-art--design-compelsus-to-examine-the-relationship-between-artwork-and-object/
artist (born 1949 in Eberhardzell) spans a wide range across functional and decorative works on view at the Karl Kemp booth. In its 13th year, Salon Art + Design, produced by Sanford Smith + Associates, welcomed its largest-yet crowd of more than 2,500 guests during the preview alone. This year’s Salon featured 54 leading exhibitors presenting unique environments that collectively transform the Armory into an exploration of how art and design, and art and object, inform each other.

Art, nature, and fine wine come together at the magnificent Donum Estate, a 200-acre vineyard and outdoor sculpture park in Sonoma, California, helmed by megacollectors Allan and Mei Warburg. “At Donum, we strive to create unique experiences,” says Allan. “Integrating art into nature enhances both elements.” This season, joining the more than 50 monumental works by Doug Aitken, Yayoi Kusama, Ai Weiwei, and others, is a new commission by New York artist Yang Bao, who created a multisensorial installation comprising a large gold pyramid filled with mirrored stainless-steel forms that transmit an original, ever-changing melody that reflects the evolving environment. “I wanted to capture the essence of Donum, evoking its subtle and emotive qualities,” says Bao. thedonumestate.com —LUCY REES GALERIEMAGA ZIN E .CO M

3. Michele Oka Doner Debuts Art Jewelry Collection at Salon Art + Design with Elisabetta Cipriani Gallery Michele Oka Doner has a gift for channeling nature. From her permanent, 1 ¼-mile terrazzo and bronze installation on the floor of the concourse of the Miami International Airport, titled A Walk on the Beach, to her most recent exhibition at New York’s Marlborough Gallery during the winter 2024, her work invites the viewer to take a closer look at the organisms inhabiting the world around them. Along this same theme, she has long created jewelry that functions as wearable sculpture. For this week’s Salon Art + Design fair, she brings her signature artistic genius to a limited-edition collection with Elisabetta Cipriani Gallery. “Though I have always created jewelry that is derived from the natural world this collection for Elisabetta Cipriani is different,” says the artist. “I’ve spent the past few months writing a manifesto, The Botanic Age, at the same time I’ve been getting ready for Salon. The brooches with their branching forms extended like multiple arms and legs became characters in my script.” The limited-edition pieces include Winter Branches: An Ongoing Conversation, which is a series of one-of-a-kind brooches made of bronze, 18-karat white gold, and old-cut diamonds; a pendant in bronze, 18-karat yellow gold, and diamond called Talisman; and Mitosis, a series of electro-formed silver boxes with materials she sources from the Hudson River.

“They have taken on a new life animated by the notion of how we originally dwelled in a world of plants and how they continue to give us life,” says Oka Doner of the pieces in the collection. “I feel a renewed joy of discovery in these living things with leaves and bark.” — Jacqueline Terrebonne

https://galeriemagazine.com/designers-share-salon-art-design-highlights/
From November 7-11, the storied Park Avenue Armory on New York’s Upper East Side will once again be transformed by a delightful mix of collectible design, art, and jewelry. Now in its 13th edition and helmed by a new director, Nicky Dessources, Salon Art + Design is presenting some 50 exhibitors from across the globe, spanning everything from vintage and modern to contemporary, alongside blue-chip 20th-century art. Art and design lovers know to look for a fascinating mix of materials and techniques, with the very best in studio glass, ceramics, Japanese art, and jewelry. Eschewing any notion of a white cube booth, the exhibitors have all crafted immersive settings for their displays, reflecting the unique richness in the way collectors live and decorates today. Here, nine top designers tell Galerie what they’re most excited about at this year’s edition.

1. Rafael de Cárdenas My favorite works are the Martin Székely Casepiece From Galerie Gabriel and the Andre Dubreuil chair and desk from Karl Kemp. I love that Galerie Gabriel is bringing Székely to an American audience. I am very excited to also see the booths of Galerie Marcilhac, Ariadne and Nilufar. Nina Yashar has greatly informed my eye and helped me develop a sharpness for color and ideas of glamour that I’ve always been drawn to since I was a child.

2. Olivia Song I was lucky enough to see Black Folks In Design’s “Spotlight II” in person at Verso’s beautiful Tribeca showroom. I love the work of BFID’s Peter Mabeo. Peter’s charming shapes are fresh and the handcraft is skilled. I brought home one of his pieces from that show and I’m excited to see what Verso and BFID showcase at Salon.

3. Brad Thornton I can’t wait to see Jeremy Anderson’s new work at Gallery Fumi. His ceramics have such a playful quality to them and his new Squid Sconces are functional with just the right amount of whimsy. Could absolutely see them in one of my projects! Galerie Marcilhac has some incredibly iconic pieces, from Giacometti floor lamps to JeanMichel Frank’s ceiling lights. I’m lusting after the Eugène Printz bookshelf, it has such great movement to it – would be an incredible statement piece. Maisonjaune Studio curates pieces that emanate such warmth, from Ingo Maurer’s covetable Uchiwa lights to their own curvilinear sofas. They add the perfect alluring softness to any space.

4. Kelly Behun I have a weakness for pretty, sculptural chairs, even the ones that put you at taxing angles. Brandi Howe’s beautiful Anemone chair at Tuleste Factory, however, looks like it’s calling out to every would-be Ariel to curl up in its ribbony curves and take a nap—I can’t wait to test it out.

5. John Ike The sculptural forms that support this Niamh Barry console bloom and attenuate in polished patinated bronze, from Maison Gerard. Molly Hatch’s array of maize, blue and white ceramic plates incorporate floral and abstract forms in a beguiling composition. This will be at Todd Merrill’s booth. The Parizot mirror in blackened bronze incorporates dolphin, shell and classical orders in a surrealist arrangement from Twenty First Century Gallery.

6. Guillaume Coutheillas I’m very excited to see the works brought by new exhibitor Crosta Smith Gallery from London. They specialize in French design and I can see so many of their pieces work for our projects. Maison Gerard’s booth is always a treat, and Benoist has really helped me sharpen my eye. We work with him on many projects. Lastly I’m very excited about newcomer Bossa, showcasing some of the finest Brazilian design.

7. Andre Mellone I’m excited to see what fellow Brazilians ‘Bossa Furniture’ will showcase of our country’s superstar designers, as they do have the most special inventory!

8. Christopher Wolf As with every iteration of Salon of Art and Design, I am excited to witness a holistic environment where art and design coexist in creative and meaningful presentations that fuse the classic and the new. For this year’s Salon, I am very excited to see the beautifully detailed preparatory painting which Rockwell Kent created in advance of his monumental General Electric Mural commission in the late 1930’s. The painting will be presented by Bernard Goldberg. I am also looking forward to seeing Crosta Smith’s curated presentation of rare Jean Michel Frank, who I consider to be one of the most sophisticated designers of the early 20th century and whose dedication to luxurious constraint speaks to my personal aesthetic. Finally, I am curious to experience the handmade maquettes of various interior spaces that Giancarlo Valle will present as an alternative glimpse into his practice—I always love to witness creative process, be it through preparatory works, models, or research material.

9. Adam Charlap Hyman I love the work of Elie Nadelman and am excited to see Female Head, the white marble bust at Bernard Goldberg Gallery. Classicizing pieces have always been appealing to me and feel very appropriate in New York.

Роботи українських дизайнерів покажуть на виставці в Нью-Йорку Експозицію «Джерело», натхнену українською культурою, історією та природою By Катя Теллер ФОТО: Надані організаторами На виставці Salon Art + Design в Нью-Йорку представлять роботи українських дизайнерів. Їх презентує Victoria Yakusha Gallery — галерея, яку 2021 року заснувала в Антверпені українська архітекторка та художниця Вікторія Якуша. До експозиції «Джерело» увійдуть роботи Андрія Михайляка, Сергія та Анни Баєздорфів, Тетяни Красуцької, а також Юлії та Євгена Мельниченків. Проєкт розкриває, де кожен з учасників знаходить джерело сили та натхнення: у природі, дитячих спогадах, українській історії та культурі. Вікторія Якуша продемонструє на виставці предмети зі своїх останніх колекцій: PLYN, TIARA та LAND OF LIGHT. Зокрема, вази, виготовлені з глини та оздоблені унікальними поліхромними топазами з Волині. Їхня форма натхнена королівською тіарою гунів, яка зберігалася в музеї Мелітополя, доки не була викрадена окупантами.
https://harpersbazaar.com.ua/news/culture/roboty-ukrayinskykh-dyzaynerivpokazhut-na-vystavtsi-v-nyu-yorku/
Також глядачі побачать диван із колекції PLYN, який має м'які контури, що нагадують прибережні камені, обтесані хвилями, і скульптури з колекції LAND OF LIGHT. Кожна з них є містичною істотою, яка допомагає людям знайти своє внутрішнє світло в темні часи. Серія вперше була представлена на виставці Design Miami минулого року. Скульптури виготовлені з екологічного матеріалу ZTISTA, який поєднує целюлозу, глину, льон, деревну стружку та біополімер, — його Вікторія Якуша розробила сама.
https://harpersbazaar.com.ua/news/culture/roboty-ukrayinskykh-dyzaynerivpokazhut-na-vystavtsi-v-nyu-yorku/
Андрій Михайляк презентує мінімалістичний торшер X із сатинованої сталі. Його гладка поверхня оживає під променями теплого світла, створюючи атмосферу відстороненого спокою. Також до селекції увійдуть лампи AKEBIA Сергія та Анни Баєздорфів, виготовлені вручну зі скла, — вони нагадують квіткові поля, переносячи глядача у світ легкості та гармонії.
https://harpersbazaar.com.ua/news/culture/roboty-ukrayinskykh-dyzaynerivpokazhut-na-vystavtsi-v-nyu-yorku/
Юлія та Євген Мельниченки представлять екологічну колекцію KHMYZ, виготовлену з авторського біоматеріалу «Землецвіт». Вироби мають плавні округлі форми, що нагадують вигини гілок і коріння. Так, журнальний столик із матовою стільницею з нержавіючої сталі має рельєф у вигляді річних кілець дерева. Крім того, Тетяна Красуцька покаже комод TYSHA, який переносить у моменти дитинства — до безлюдного пляжу, де чутно далекий шум моря, мов у мушлі, що відлунює спогадами.

A weekend in November, with a spring-like warmth, opened the doors to design, with two fairs presenting a careful selection of creative culture. Walking down the High Line, we https://ifdm.design/2024/11/21/new-york-a-stage-for-design/
arrived at the Javits Center, where the BDNY2024 by Hospitality Design Group edition of Emerald – of which IFDM is a media partner – was packed with American and international companies. In a choral celebration of high-end hospitality and its exponential growth, the platform offered an overview of new trends, foremost among them a deep focus on the use of natural materials. An imprint that characterized this edition, dense with novelties, starting with spaces inspired by design culture, such as the Mainstage designed by Watts & Dray Studio or Dine & Design PopUp, an area dedicated to food and beverage, an experiential space whose centerpiece, Café Hue – designed by Jessica Gidari and inspired by Bauhaus – was composed of sound-absorbing panels by hush. and tableware, furniture, lighting with partners such as Emu, Bespoke Sound, Pioneer, Kloth.

8 Unmissable Highlights From The 13th Edition Of Salon Art + Design By Osman Can Yerebakan
https://interiordesign.net/designwire/8-highlights-from-salon-art-design-2024/
Within Fall’s packed fair season, Salon Art + Design in Manhattan holds a special place for offering a one-stop-shop for collectors from all walks of design, as well as art. Whether you are eyeing an antique chair, browsing the aisles in search of the next big designer of lamps, or hunting for a piece of timeless jewelry, the tightly-organized affair is your place to visit. Running from November 7-11, the most significant trait of Salon’s 13th edition is the introduction of its new executive director Nicky Dessources. Taking the torch from Jill Bokor, who has pushed the fair’s profile to an anticipated sector event in her leadership, Dessources brings in a blend of established exhibitors and newcomers for the five-day long show at—as always—the Park Avenue Armory. Dessources tells Interior Design that she is honored to “introduce her expertise in this new role after working with Sanford L. Smith + Associates for 10 years, most recently as the director of operations.” She adds that she is excited to “bring into the fair the aspects of my own journey in terms of falling in love with collectible design.” Dessources, who comes form a photography background, forged an understanding in the field through years of engaging with Salon exhibitors through her role. “I learned about the materials and the creation https://interiordesign.net/designwire/8-highlights-from-salon-art-design-2024/
process through many conversations,” she adds. “I want to share with the public this sense of discovery and curiosity through a welcoming environment where they can approach experts with questions.” Boosting around 50 exhibitors, this year’s show features global heavy hitters such as Nilufar from Milan, Galerie Gmurzynska from Zurich, Londoner Galerie FUMI, Galerie ChastelMaréchal from Paris as well as New York’s own Twenty First Gallery, Todd Merrill Studio, Bossa, and Tuleste Factory. In every iteration, a true gem is a group of special projects peppered around the venue’s historic interior. This year, Female Design Council, New Yorkbased interiors studio Thornton Projects, global design office frenchCALIFORNIA, and Black Folks in Design (BFiD)’s display with furniture gallery VERSO are among the section’s exhibitors with discovery-laden displays. Top Design Picks From Salon Art + Design

Nilufar

Thursday’s VIP preview saw flocks of collectors and industry leaders that benefitted Dia Art Foundation with ticket sales. Among the well-attended bash’s frequented booths was Nilufar. A local fixture and global force from Milan, the gallery boasted pieces in bright colors and rich textures, reflecting the singular style of the gallery’s founder Nina Yashar. Analogia Project’s different furniture pieces dressed in ceramic bits as well as fiberglass, wood, and steel are among the scene-stealers. Shiny and playful, a mirror, a lamp, and a glass dinner table allure the visitors, similar to a 1970s brass, rattan, and pine frog table lamp by https://interiordesign.net/designwire/8-highlights-from-salon-art-design-2024/
the late prolific Italian designer Gabriella Crespi. Another true Italian statement comes from Christian Pellizzari whose Murano glass chandeliers and lamps have a global follower base. Here, he exhibited a ruby-hued floor lamp from his Brugmansia collection, presenting a biomorphic silhouette with strikingly drooping limps. Victoria Yakusha Gallery

The Brussels-based Ukrainian designer and architect Victoria Yakusha made her Salon debut with a neatly-organized booth of her own work in addition to other Ukrainian designers, https://interiordesign.net/designwire/8-highlights-from-salon-art-design-2024/
such as Julia and Yevhen Melnychenko and Andrii Mykhailiak. Titled “DZHERELO”, which means “source” in Ukrainian, the presentation features earthy and sleek furniture pieces that assume mystery and an everyday ease all at once. History is imbued in some of the works as a way to explore curious forms, such as Yakusha’s fireclay bulbous totemic vases with encrusted topaz. The Tiara series, which consists of twelve pieces in total, is inspired by the tiara of the Huns who lived in the territory of current Ukraine between 4th and 5th centuries. Female Design Council

https://interiordesign.net/designwire/8-highlights-from-salon-art-design-2024/
Among the exhibitors who benefit from the Park Avenue Armory’s soaring interior is Female Design Council, who presented an elegant display of works from their members, including Megan Sommerville of design studio MATERIA, Natasha Sultan and Helena Sultan from Konekt, Lisa Sacco, and Cuff Studio’s Kristi Bender and Wendy Schwartz. A standout is Urvi Sharma’s Purdah mirror, which puts a curtain between the onlooker and their reflection through a veil of brass beads. The designer of INDO- studio alludes to the titular tradition of secluding women’s social presence with a curtain or drapery in Muslim and Southeast Asian cultures. Sommerville’s Plateau floor lamp celebrates MATERIA’s 15th anniversary with lampshades made out goatskin parchment pailette. The shades in various sizes feature hundreds of hand-sewn sequins, affixed onto a hand-built bronze mesh fixture. Black Folks in Design x VERSO

Black Folks in Design collective joined forces with design platform VERSO for a group presentation that celebrated various Black practitioners of contemporary furniture-making and art. Micheal Bennett of Studio Kër presented a long wooden bench with a demure form, while Jessica Fisher’s glazed black stoneware clay vessels hold traces of her wheel-thrown and hand-built methods with their sculptural finishes. Lagos-based designer Nifemi MarcusBello’s recycled sand-cast aluminum Oriki bench transforms into a bowl on one corner, suggesting an alternative medley of functions and aesthetics through the blending of a flat seating surface and a globular hollow sink. https://interiordesign.net/designwire/8-highlights-from-salon-art-design-2024/

Galerie Gmurzynska

Art comes in a bountiful offering in Galerie Gmurzynska’s large booth, featuring a medley of 20th century painting icons, such as Roberto Matta, Wifredo Lam, László Moholy–Nagy, and Marjorie Strider. Fresh from the opening of Fondation Louis Vuitton’s highly celebrated exhibition, “Pop Forever, Tom Wesselmann &…”, the Swiss gallery exhibits the artist’s immediately recognizable wall enamel on laser-cut steel wall work of a female nude, titled Rosemary Lying on One Elbow (Gray) N34 (1989). Adjacent to Wesselmann’s take on https://interiordesign.net/designwire/8-highlights-from-salon-art-design-2024/
the male gaze at the female body, Strider takes the bodily autonomy into her own hands with an acrylic on board wall relief of massive female lips painted in red, titled Open Mouth (2013). Twenty First Gallery

Among the booths that tackled and elegant curation of various designers in a domestic settingwass Tribeca’s Twenty First Gallery. In powdery tones and crips materials, the gallery juxtaposes consoles, sculptures, mirrors, vases, and lighting fixtures in an intriguing harmony. Italian artist Guiseppe Ducrot, who is known for his signature pieces in Positano’s https://interiordesign.net/designwire/8-highlights-from-salon-art-design-2024/
beloved blue-washed Franco’s Bar, joined the potpourri with two sets of glazed ceramic sconces, both combining baroque accents with a contemporary boldness in loose forms. Selftaught French sculptor and furniture maker François Corbeau’s catchy mirror polished bronze and oak console grasped any fairgoers attention with its malleable surface, framed within a geometric sharpness. In contrast, Vincent Corbiére’s humorous-shaped oxidized wild pear wood mirror has an energetic charm with four of its corners splashing out of their angles. Room 57 Gallery

Midtown’s Room 57 Gallery joined the show with furniture pieces by Brecht Wright Gander and Leo Orta, in addition to paintings by Gena Milanesi and Melissa Rios. Orta’s polyester reinforced fiber, acrylic paint, and PU lacquer chairs combine fluidity and rigidness with their oozing presence. In candy shades of pink, blue, and brown, they seem to melt, suggesting a half-way retransformation. Gander’s large table, titled Directions of Knowing all Dark Things Coffee Table (2022), is made out of maple, abalone, black walnut, as well as various types of shells. The mysterious images embedded into the table’s surface are inspired by the teachings of a 14th Century Greek philosopher. Maison Rapin

Parisian gallery Maison Rapin boasted a boldly-orchestrated stand where different eras and materials swiftly unite. A standout is a duo of Dancers table by Vittorio Dassi from 1930s. The late Italian designer elaborated the wooden tables’ surfaces with the pietra duo marble technique to create two different joyous dance scenes. Flamboyance is also celebrated in the heart-shaped gilded brass, gilded bronze, and Mediterranean corals mirrors by the French designer Robert Goossens. With their fiery motifs around their frames and red accents, the mirrors in various sizes embody their shapes’ homage to love. Gabriella Crespi and love are also commemorated here with a 1979-dated Ying Yang bar that takes its core design principal from a harmonious duality. The bar’s two different parts are designed in lacquered https://interiordesign.net/designwire/8-highlights-from-salon-art-design-2024/
wood and brass, creating a visual and textural difference whether they remained attached or separated to reveal the bar shelves tucked inside.

Jewelry Artist Michele Oka Doner Returns to the Botanic Age By Karen Dybis
https://www.jckonline.com/editorial-article/michele-oka-doner-jewelry-exhibit/
With her latest exhibition of fine art jewelry, Michele Oka Doner is calling on collectors and kindred spirits to revisit what plants provide humanity in terms of food, protection, and nurturing. The American artist partnered with London-based Elisabetta Cipriani Gallery (with whom she has an ongoing collaboration) to develop the pieces, which will be on display Nov. 7–11 at New York’s Salon Art + Design fair. Oka Doner describes this collection as an homage to the so-called Botanic Age, when humans made plants and trees central to their creativity and development. The Salon Art + Design exhibit has three components: Winter Branches, a series of brooches; Talisman, a limited-edition pendant on a handmade necklace with a twining design; and Mitosis, five electroformed silver boxes.
https://www.jckonline.com/editorial-article/michele-oka-doner-jewelry-exhibit/
Winter Branches brooches in bronze and gold with old-cut diamonds
Each piece is meant for a meditation, asking the wearer or viewer to recall a time when they felt at home in nature and how much the world needs plant life for sustenance, explains Oka Doner. “The truth is, there is still no life on this planet without plants,” she says. “We are nature. There is no separation between us and other living things. Our skin is our bark. We inhale breath like the leaves on a tree. We need water to survive. There is a kinship.” Oka Doner is concerned about “plant blindness,” a term adopted by academics and artists that refers to how the Industrial Revolution distanced humanity from the natural world. She thinks of her work as a call to action—urging people to serve as stewards of the Earth rather than its masters. “I began making jewelry for myself using patterns and designs from the natural world when I wanted something to denote a special occasion. I couldn’t find jewelry that I connected with, or that created desire, in the traditional venues,” says Oka Doner, who received her bachelor’s and MFA degrees from the University of Michigan. The nine Winter Branches brooches are made with bronze, 18k white gold, and old-cut diamonds. Each has a name that reflects the personality of whichever branch or twig Oka Doner used as inspiration.
https://www.jckonline.com/editorial-article/michele-oka-doner-jewelry-exhibit/
Michele Oka Doner’s Talisman necklace “harks back to ancient practices of wearing talismans, imbuing it with a sense of protection and connection to the earth,” according to the Elisabetta Cipriani Gallery website.
She started making Winter Branches brooches in 2007. The original series sold out in a Christie’s sale, and she’s continued to add to the collection as she finds the right materials. “Bronze was a material that was familiar, accessible. The shapes I imagined were strong, and bronze could easily hold them. From the very beginning they were small sculptures,” says Oka Doner. “The use of diamonds to illuminate the bronze evolved as I imagined the forces of nature interacting with the shape. In my mind’s eye, a branching shape could easily be highlighted with frost or the morning dew.” The artist says gallerist Cipriani understands her affinity for nature and how to translate those thoughts to the material world and show them in physical form. https://www.jckonline.com/editorial-article/michele-oka-doner-jewelry-exhibit/
“Nomen est omen—naming is the omen. One cannot protect what can’t be seen,” Oka Doner says. Top: One of Michele Oka Doner’s Mitosis silver boxes, which will be exhibited at the Salon Art + Design show Nov. 7–11 in New York (photos courtesy of Elisabetta Cipriani Gallery)

Wine at the Armory, Circa 580 BC: Phoenix Ancient Art Unveils Ancient Wine Jar at the Salon Art and Design Show By Staff Writer
Horse Head Amphora Phoenix Ancient Art
Stand B7 at the Salon Art and Design Show at the Park Avenue Armory from November 7-11, 2024
https://ktla.com/business/press-releases/ein-presswire/756320963/wine-at-thearmory-circa-580-bc-phoenix-ancient-art-unveils-ancient-wine-jar-at-the-salon-artand-design-show/
NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, October 30, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- From November 7-11, 2024, Phoenix Ancient Art will proudly exhibit at the prestigious Salon Art and Design Show at the Park Avenue Armory. This premier event is a favorite among interior designers, offering inspiration and a curated selection of top-quality art and design across various industries. We are excited to share this exquisite amphora, a true testament to the artistic and cultural achievements of Archaic Greek art.” — Hicham Aboutaam At stand B7, attendees will have the unique opportunity to view an extraordinary ancient Greek amphora, or wine storage jar, dating back to 580-570 B.C. This remarkable piece features beautifully preserved painted portraits of a horse head and a head of a man, rendered in the black-figure technique with added red highlights. Horse-head amphorae, popular in Athens during the first half of the 6th century B.C., are characterized by their distinctive rectangular panels depicting horse heads in profile, typically featured on both sides of the vessel. However, this rare example is notable for its unusual reverse, showcasing a male head instead of another horse. The only other known example with this juxtaposition resides in the Louvre, making this amphora, which was acquired by a prestigious American collector in May of 1964, particularly unique. The precise purpose of these horse-head amphorae remains a topic of scholarly debate. Many were discovered in Athens and often exported beyond Attica. Some scholars speculate that they served as votive objects dedicated by Athenian nobility—symbolizing their social standing as providers for the state’s cavalry. Others suggest that they could have been prizes, akin to the later Panathenaic prize amphorae. Amphorae were not just utilitarian; they were integral to the Greek symposium—a gathering for intellectual discourse and socializing, fueled by wine. These finely decorated vessels were designed to be visible on the table, celebrating the important role of wine in fostering connection and conversation among participants. Hicham Aboutaam, president of Electrum and a leading figure in the ancient art world, expresses his enthusiasm for the exhibition: “We are excited to share this exquisite amphora, a true testament to the artistic and cultural achievements of Archaic Greek art. It not only reflects the craftsmanship of its time but also invites us to consider the social and ritual practices surrounding wine in ancient Athenian life.” Comparable examples of this amphora style can be found in esteemed collections, including the Princeton University Art Museum, the Staatlichen Antikensammlungen in Munich, and the National Archaeological Museum in Athens. Visit the Salon Art and Design Show for a chance to witness this exceptional artifact and explore the rich history it represents. https://ktla.com/business/press-releases/ein-presswire/756320963/wine-at-thearmory-circa-580-bc-phoenix-ancient-art-unveils-ancient-wine-jar-at-the-salon-artand-design-show/

La surprise générée par la réélection de Donald Trump à la présidence des États-Unis n'a manifestement pas freiné l'affluence ni les ventes du Salon Art + Design, qui a fait ses débuts au Park Avenue Armory le 7 novembre et s'est achevé le 11. Parmi les 2 500 visiteurs enregistrés au vernissage – certains avaient déboursé 500 dollars pour obtenir un billet – figuraient d'éminents architectes d'intérieur tels que Charles Zana, Peter Marino, Robert Couturier et Martin Brudnizki, ainsi que des collectionneurs milliardaires comme le magnat de l'immobilier Aby Rosen, Nathalie de Gunzburg, présidente du conseil d'administration de la Dia Art Foundation – destinataire des ventes de tickets du vernissage – et des membres de la famille Tisch. « Il est toujours agréable de voir une telle variété de design, de mobilier et d'éclairage des années 1940 à aujourd'hui, et de donner de la visibilité à tant de designers https://www.lequotidiendelart.com/articles/26503-le-salon-art-design-new-york-enbonne-forme.html
talentueux, a témoigné Nathalie de Gunzburg. Je suis déjà une grande collectionneuse de Mithé Espelt – les céramiques et les miroirs en or sont absolument magnifiques. » Parmi les ventes réalisées par la galerie Gabriel de Manhattan lors du vernissage, citons la console Tour Eiffel de Jean Royère pour 200 000 euros, un buffet de Maxime Old, un canapé et deux fauteuils de Joaquim Tenreiro et des pièces de céramique. « J'ai vu des milliardaires se succéder à la foire », a souligné la curatrice Valérie Cueto. La galerie a également décroché de nombreuses commandes pour le designer libanais Georges Mohasseb. La galerie parisienne Chastel-Maréchal a vendu des œuvres de Joy de Rohan Chabot, Jean-Michel Frank, Line Vautrin et Jean Royère à des clients américains. « Les collectionneurs américains représentent près de 60 % de la clientèle », a indiqué Pauline Da Costa Sampieri, qui a qualifié le salon de « succès ». La Maison Gérard de Greenwich Village a rapidement vendu à un client européen une paire de panneaux en bas-relief en céramique de François-Émile Popineau de 1927, ainsi qu'une table en fer au plateau de marbre noir de Gilbert Poillerat de 1950 et une paire de lampes en albâtre et bronze doré d'Hervé Van der Straeten. Lobel Modern NYC, dirigé par Evan Lobel, a réalisé une dizaine de ventes pour des créations de Philip et Kelvin LaVerne, dont une table à 165 000 dollars. « Aujourd'hui, davantage de gens comprennent leur art grâce à mon récent livre consacré aux designers », explique Evan Lobel. Elle-même architecte et designer, la marchande ukrainienne Victoria Yakusha, dont l'agence est entre Anvers et Kyiv, a conclu plusieurs transactions. Elle a notamment vendu à un client asiatique un siège sculptural en édition limitée, en cellulose, argile, fibres de lin, copeaux de bois et biopolymères pour 17 200 dollars. Si Phoenix Ancient Art a enregistré des ventes, le rythme a été plus lent pour les marchands d'art. thesalonny.com

Art Meets Imagination at Salon Art + Design At this year’s Salon Art + Design, emerging talent, timeless classics, and bold conversations transform the Park Avenue Armory into a playground for art lovers and design enthusiasts. Text by Charlene Co
Salon Art + Design returns to the Park Avenue Armory, introducing a fresh energy, a refined aesthetic, and a spirit of discovery under the dynamic leadership of Nicky Dessources. As the newly appointed executive director of the fair, Dessources brings nearly a decade of experience from her role at Sanford L. Smith + Associates, where she built strong relationships with exhibitors and honed her expertise in curating and designing immersive, dynamic showcases.
https://magnifissance.com/arts/salon-art-design-2024/
Nicky Dessources
“This journey has been incredibly enriching,” Dessources reflects. “We’re creating a fair that’s vibrant, engaging, and inclusive—a platform for dialogue that reaches across the art and design worlds.” So, what sets Salon Art + Design apart from other fairs? For starters, it’s a unique space where art and design meet in an atmosphere of dialogue and discovery. Each year, the fair showcases an eclectic mix of collectible design and fine art, but 2024 goes a step further by highlighting emerging galleries and fresh talents that bring bold new ideas. https://magnifissance.com/arts/salon-art-design-2024/
“Art and design are constantly evolving, and it’s vital to give young voices the opportunity to shine. Fostering that fresh talent keeps creativity alive and dynamic,” said Dessources. One such addition is Bossa, a design gallery celebrated for its high-quality mid-century Brazilian furniture by renowned designers like Joaquim Tenreiro and Lina Bo Bardi, alongside contemporary works that push the boundaries of design.
While Salon Art + Design features stunning objects, it also offers an immersive experience from the moment visitors step through the door. This year, Brad Thornton, founder of Thornton Projects, brings his design expertise to the Armory’s historic entryway. Thornton has crafted a visually striking atmosphere that both honors the Armory’s architectural grandeur and introduces a modern twist. “Brad has been an attendee for years, and he understands Salon’s unique energy,” says Dessources. “We’re excited to collaborate with someone who knows how to set the perfect stage for art and design.” A standout feature of this year’s fair is the Design & Art Advisory Council, which plays a pivotal role in curating the event with expert guidance. The council is made up of individuals with expertise across both art and design, offering a fresh layer of curatorial insight and ensuring Salon Art + Design stays ahead of industry trends. “They’re the bridge,” Dessources explains, “connecting galleries and clients, artists and collectors. Their involvement enriches the broader design discourse, sparking new collaborations and perspectives.” And then, of course, there’s the programming, which has evolved into a dynamic educational platform for both newcomers and seasoned collectors alike. Through newsletters, social https://magnifissance.com/arts/salon-art-design-2024/
media, and onsite events, Salon has cultivated an environment where art and design enthusiasts can engage with current trends, learn from industry experts, and explore themes that connect art to everyday life. “I want to create a space that feels both fresh and familiar,” says Dessources. “It’s about blending the past and present, and inviting attendees into that ongoing dialogue.” This year’s VIP hours provide interior designers and art advisors with exclusive early access to the fair, allowing them to select pieces for their clients before the public opening. It’s a thoughtful gesture toward the trade community and a testament to Salon Art + Design’s commitment to being a central hub for both collectors and creatives. With a dynamic mix of emerging talents, immersive installations, and a focus on collaboration, Salon Art + Design 2024 promises an experience that goes beyond the fair itself. “I want people to leave with a renewed sense of inspiration and connection,” Dessources says. “Not just to the art and design world, but to the conversations about how these works impact our lives. We’re creating lasting impressions that will resonate long after the fair itself.” For anyone looking to be inspired, to connect, and to experience the pulse of art and design today, Salon Art + Design 2024 is the place to be. Here are 5 exhibits at this year’s Salon Art + Design that capture the breadth and depth of this year’s edition and Dessources’ dynamic vision for the show: 1. Divine Form, Roman Marble Torso of Bacchus, Ariadne
https://magnifissance.com/arts/salon-art-design-2024/
This marble torso powerfully depicts Dionysos (Bacchus in Roman mythology), the god of wine and revelry. Inspired by Praxiteles’ fourth-century BC sculpture Apollo Lyceius, it captures the idealized beauty and relaxed posture of the divine male form, embodying the essence of ease and earthly pleasure. 2. Inlaid Large Jar by Tetsuya Ishiyama
https://magnifissance.com/arts/salon-art-design-2024/
At this year’s Salon Art + Design, the Ippodo Gallery made its debut with Growing Roots: The Next Generation of Japanese Art. The exhibit showcased diverse materials, including gold and silver shibuichi, mother-of-pearl, marble, wood and lacquer, mulberry paper, and clay. Among the featured contemporary artists was Tetsuya Ishiyama, presenting his intricately crafted Inlaid Large Jar. 3. Ephyra Pendant Installation by Jeremy Anderson
https://magnifissance.com/arts/salon-art-design-2024/
Gallery FUMI will present a solo exhibition of new works by New York ceramic artist Jeremy Anderson at the exhibition. Titled The Space Inside, the installation explores a peaceful, imaginative world inspired by the solitude of home. The installation features chandeliers, table lamps, sconces, floor lamps, and tables, Anderson’s work includes wheel-thrown ceramics with beading, lustre, and glazes, alongside new materials like cast bronze, wood, and glass. Highlights include the Ephyra Pendant installation—a cluster of stoneware and glass orbs—and illuminated orbs resembling fantastical vines, creating an atmosphere of a hidden, otherworldly realm. 4.

https://magnifissance.com/arts/salon-art-design-2024/
Irish ceramic artist Jennifer Hickey, will make her U.S. debut at Salon Art + Design 2024, presented by Liz O’Brien Gallery. Living in the West of Ireland, Hickey draws inspiration from the cyclical rhythms and fragility of nature. Her sculptures consist of thousands of fine, porcelain pieces that resemble petals, feathers, or scales, sewn onto tulle netting over sculptural forms. Her pieces evoke organic forms—seeds, spheres—with swirling textures that resemble roses or startled birds. https://magnifissance.com/arts/salon-art-design-2024/

6 Things We Can’t Wait to See at This Year’s Salon Art + Design Fair By Sean Santiago
Lucas Flores Piran
As far as design showcases go, Salon Art + Design is unique in its position as the nexus of its dual namesakes: fine art and collectible design. Founded in 2012 by the late Sanford L. Smith, Salon, which opens this Thursday at the Park Avenue Armory in New York City, is now in the https://www.msn.com/en-us/lifestyle/home-and-garden/6-things-we-can-t-wait-tosee-at-this-year-s-salon-art-design-fair/ss-AA1tyHdM#image=1
hands of executive director Nicky Dessources. Her goal? Expand the fair’s mission while upholding Smith’s legacy of creativity and passion. “I want to continue the atmosphere of warmth and accessibility,” Dessources tells ELLE DECOR. “Gallerists can essentially bring whatever they want. That freedom is exciting—for them and for the audience, because you never know what you might find.” To that end, Dessources inaugurated a Design and Art Advisory Council, including many ELLE DECOR A-List talents: Kelly Behun, Jeremiah Brent, Andre Mellone, and Christine and John Gachot. The fair will also offer dynamic programming like Salon Conversations, a highlight of which is a panel discussion between David Kleinberg, actress Julianne Moore, author and gallerist Evan Lobel, and New York’s Wendy Goodman; and site-specific design installations including an entryway by Brad Thornton, a dedicated café space by frenchCALIFORNIA dubbed the Parlor, and a display of miniatures by Studio Giancarlo Valle. “I want design to be present in every aspect of the space,” says Dessources. “It has to function, but I also want it to be creative.” From cocktail rings to cocktail tables, here are a few of the most exciting booths we’ll be checking out at the 13th edition of Salon Art + Design.

1 Studio Giancarlo Valle’s Miniatures
In addition to a unique entryway design and dedicated café space, the fair will also host a site-specific miniatures installation that highlights Studio Giancarlo Valle’s use of dollhouselike maquettes. “I think it’s really important to see, in terms of understanding an interior designer’s process,” says Dessources. Pieces on view will include a handmade clay sofa, a 3Dprinted table, and a detailed model of the dining pavilion for a recently completed villa in St. Barts. https://www.msn.com/en-us/lifestyle/home-and-garden/6-things-we-can-t-wait-tosee-at-this-year-s-salon-art-design-fair/ss-AA1tyHdM#image=1

2 Head-Turning Jewels

“We added jewelry [to our programming] for the first time last year,” says Dessources. “It’s something that we’ve always wanted to do but weren’t sure it was the right time. It turned out to be hugely successful.” This year will see Brazilian jeweler Fernando Jorge debut his sculptural pieces on the floor, while Elisabetta Cipriani will showcase a collaboration with renowned artist Michele Oka Doner.

A number of young galleries will debut at the fair this year, including London-based Crosta Smith, with a booth designed by Martin Brûlé, and the Brazilian studio Bossa Furniture, which opened a space in Chelsea earlier this year. “[Bossa] founder Isabela Milagre is a trailblazer in the industry,” says Dessources. “Their collection features masterpieces by renowned designers such as Lina Bo Bardi and Sergio Rodrigues, along with contemporary artists like Juliana Vasconcellos.” https://www.msn.com/en-us/lifestyle/home-and-garden/6-things-we-can-t-wait-tosee-at-this-year-s-salon-art-design-fair/ss-AA1tyHdM#image=1

5 Black Folks in Design
Kelly Marshall

Entitled Spotlight III, the booth will feature work by artists and designers including Michael Bennet, founder of Studio Kër, as well as Jonas Damon, Asmite, and more. I want the fair to be a space that fosters a diverse range of backgrounds and genres,” says Dessources. “By creating inclusive spaces and opportunities, we can challenge the status quo and celebrate a wide range of perspectives.”

The Monocle Minute On Design By Josh Aronson Community pillars Architecture and design are key pillars in any community but especially integral in urban settings. This week’s visit toThe Mar Vista Tract in Los Angeles is a case in point, a development so beloved that its residents rarely leave. It’s also an example of the pro-social design ethos behind Ammodo’s new awards. On the way we’ll talk shop with Salon Art + Design’s Nicky Dessources and take a seat in the Makuri lounge chair. Starting us off, Nic Monisse considers how uplifting architecture can have its inhabitants feeling home free.

Words with... / Nicky Dessources, USA All’s fair Nicky Dessources recently stepped into the executive-director role at Salon Art + Design, one of the world’s pre-eminent international fairs. Earlier this month the US-born, Haiti-raised creative oversaw her first edition of the fair, which is renowned for its collectables, in New York’s Park Avenue Armory. Dessources brought a rich vein of art-and-design-world experience to the event, including stints at Steve McCurry Studio, the Richard Avedon Foundation and Sanford L Smith + Associates. She tells us more.

How is Salon Art + Design different from other fairs? We’ve been able to create an atmosphere that’s very warm and welcoming, so that people who might be curious feel less intimidated by art and design. We created an environment for them to come and discover – to ask questions and fall in love with our fine art and collectable design. We also give our exhibitors the freedom to really explore and curate their space the way that they want to. Galleries really appreciate that. How do you select the participating galleries? There are a lot of steps. I usually do an interview and visit the space or gallery. It’s very important to make sure that the pieces and the material are present and authentic. Additionally, when I travel, I really like to immerse myself in the entire culture and lifestyle of where I am. This includes being able to visit the art and design scenes to see what galleries https://manage.kmail-lists.com/subscriptions/webview?a=WEFNwV&c=01F10R5X316J789VXEZG95WX5N&k=e0bdd6414f6fd92e9048dc5 a3ad75e23&g=VsmE5L&m=01JD2VB94NE92YT7VMTDP0H8DP&r=3hswBdfS
are there and what the artists are displaying. It’s really important to discover diverse new voices. How has the fair evolved over its 13 editions? The fair has definitely shifted in the past 10 years. It used to be more heavily focused on art than collectable design. Now there’s more of a balance. We’ve also expanded some of the categories that we’re presenting. For example, we introduced jewellery to the show floor for the first time in 2023. This year we featured exciting rare-book designs. We’ve also reached out further, for example highlighting new galleries from Ukraine and Japan. thesalonny.com

As Light
A wondrously delicate drama. In select theaters, November 15.
Mises en abyme.
This gallery shows work from excellent creators off the art-world radar, such as Gretchen Scherer’s exquisite small oil and acrylic paintings of panels featuring art collections and museums. They look like faceted jewels depicting eccentric installation strategies, like the walk-in wonder cabinet of London’s Sir John Soane’s Museum. jerry saltz
A charmingly precocious and self-mythologizing 16-year-old girl writes her 37-year-old English teacher a love letter, and the two begin a bittersweet affair. Jane DeLynn’s novel, first published in 1982, remains an alternately hilarious and melancholic portrait of queer adolescence. jasmine vojdani TV
9. Watch Silo

Apple TV+, November 15.
Calling all dads, including mine, and all viewers of Dad TV—the second season of Silo is finally here.

Carmelita gets the can.
Regrouping around new vocalist Emily Armstrong (who has a history with Scientology), Linkin Park releases their first studio album since the death of longtime lead singer Chester Bennington in 2017. Songs like “Heavy Is the Crown” tiptoe back into the amorphous, anthemic sounds of the band’s meteoric rise in the aughts. c.j.

Building on the momentum of the Black Hippy reunion at Kendrick Lamar’s The Pop Out event of this past summer, Soul Burger, the sixth studio album from California rhymer and K.

By Haruki Murakami
there was but one gate in the wall surrounding the town. Opening and closing it was the job of the Gatekeeper. The gate, heavy and solid, was reinforced with thick iron slabs nailed vertically and horizontally to it. Despite the gate’s formidable appearance, the Gatekeeper was able to easily open and close it. No one else was allowed to lay a finger on it. The Gatekeeper was a large, sturdy man, devoted to his work. His pointy head was shaved clean, as was his face. Every morning he’d boil water in a large cauldron and carefully shave his head and face with a large, sharp razor. His age was unclear. He was also responsible for blowing the horn every morning and evening to assemble the beasts. He would climb up a six-and-a-half-foottall tower in front of his Gatekeeper’s cabin, aim the horn at the sky, and blow. How could such a crude, coarse-looking man produce such a soft, charming sound? I found this strange every time I heard it. (Knopf, November 19.)
the Spotlight Not the reaper.
Cozy Game Pals and Blumhouse Games.
The first horror release from Blumhouse’s foray into indie game publishing is basically Silent Hill filtered through a “Goosebumps” novel. You play a teen girl searching for her missing friend after a Ouija board session gone awry. Spooky but not too scary, courtesy of the game’s low-poly aesthetic. nicholas quah ART
14. See Jorge Pardo Figural into abstraction.
Petzel, 520 West 25th Street; through November 9.
Jorge Pardo was part of a table-turning cadre of artists who incorporated what was then known as Institutional Critique and stood out for doing the opposite. He built a house in L.A. that is supposed to be art and also functions as a gallery. The four large etched paintings on display consist of scores of references, from Guston to Manet. j.s. MUSIC

His promises to enact policies such as limiting gender-affirming care and eliminating the genderneutral “X” marker on federal identity documents such as passports, has trans people and allies worried about the state of their rights. And yet, some trans people — such as rapper Ms. Boogie — continue to push past such fears and embrace new chapters in their lives, such as parenthood. At The Shed’s 2024 Gala, Ms. Boogie – who identifies as a Black trans woman – shared how adopting a child shortly after the debut of her one-night only show at The Shed earlier this year, made her want to be a visible example of trans parenthood. According to a 2020 report by the Williams Institute at UCLA School of Law, an estimated 19 percent of transgender adults in the U.S. are parents. “For my community, it means the world,” she said. “I want us to know that we are capable of nurturing, we are capable of caring for life, building life and being part of people’s lives in the most pure way possible … It’s not the light we’re seen in. But we have to shine the light on ourselves. So motherhood is possible.” Investing in Black creatives at Salon Art + Design https://njurbannews.com/2024/12/04/trans-parenthood-black-design-and-harlemsrevival-a-celebration-of-identity-and-art/
From November 7 to 11, the 13th edition of Salon Art + Design made history as a recordsetting more than 12,000 guests (according to the Salon) attended the fair. Attendees were treated to a dazzling array of art, installations, design, and jewelry presented by 54 exhibiting galleries. The fair, which has been vocal about its mission to give greater visibility to more artists, featured an exhibition presented by Black Folks in Design (BFiD) in collaboration with Verso. One of the artists on display was Shoshanna Weinberger, who shared her excitement at being included in the BFiD booth for its inclusivity both in terms of race and creative practice. “I love this whole booth because it’s showcasing people of color, designers of color, and for me to be part of that is amazing,” she said. “It’s wonderful to see my work connected to functionality. And also to see furniture and design as art and how they relate to one another– breaking down those barriers.” Little Wing Lee, BFiD founder and the creative director/principal of her own interior design company, Studio & Projects, shared her ideas on further breaking down barriers for Black designers, particularly as it pertains to funding within the industry. “I think it’s [about] more capital investment. So having the funds to pay to have a prototype made of a design that you’re thinking about. I think the money can give designers that time to iterate, to design, and to produce beautiful work,” she explained. “I think the funding could come from larger corporations…large furniture manufactures who could offer grants investing in smaller firms and designers to help the industry grow.” The column, On the “A” w/Souleo, covers the intersection of the arts, culture, entertainment, and philanthropy in Harlem and beyond and is written by Souleo.

3 Highlights From This Year’s New York Salon Art + Design Fair Early last month, the New York fair brought together a diverse array of collectible works from established and upand-coming talents. By Adrian Madlener
Black Folks in Design
Taking full advantage of its strategic location—the Park Avenue Armory on New York’s Upper East Side—this year’s Salon Art + Design fair had record-breaking sales and https://nuvomagazine.com/daily-edit/3-highlights-from-this-years-new-yorks-salonart-design-fair?srsltid=AfmBOoql0iaVFQSjj7Hk069cNZQ94gflnYdGiD84Nlml0QRIHQkaAby
attendance: 2,500 on opening night. Attracting a discerning clientele largely from the neighbourhood, the annual event brings together an eclectic collection of contemporary, vintage, and historical artworks, collectible designs, first-edition books, and even miniatures: an installation by the popular interiors practice Studio Giancarlo Valle. The Female Design Council made its fair debut with a vignette featuring new works by eight of its members. From the extensive exhibits, NUVO has selected three standouts that displayed playful applications or delved deep into timely topics.

New lighting and wool-thread-wrapped wall sculptures by Thomas Cooper Studio The long-established Los Angeles lighting design practice Thomas Cooper Studio returned to Salon Art + Design with three new luminaire collections, as well as the Gala mirror and a triptyque of colourful geometric woven wall sculptures called The Sagas. Forged through the long-standing collaboration of creative and life partners Sally Thomas Cooper and Jason Kai Cooper—who both cut their teeth in theatre and production design—the company excels in decorative fixtures for residential and hospitality projects and emphasizes material experimentation, the reimagined use of age-old artisanal techniques. These latest pieces demonstrate that experimental approach in different ways. A marked deviation from their other work, The Sagas draw inspiration from ancient Viking storytelling and carry a talismanic quality.

Black Folks in Design: Spotlight III presented by Verso Debuting new explorations by noted designers Nifemi Marcus-Bello (Nmbello Studio), Studio Ker, Jonas Damon, Asmite, Shoshanna Weinberger, Swallow and Tea, and Studio & Projects, the multifaceted collective Black Folks in Design teamed up with the itinerant gallery Verso for its third Spotlight showcase. Curated by Little Wing Lee, the exhibit explored the potential of range, scale, and perspective in a variety of hand-crafted mediums: wood and metal furnishings, fibre, carved stone, and drawing. Nmbello Studio’s new M2 is a dynamic reinterpretive combination of all five. “With any of the Spotlight shows, my approach is to showcase the breadth of the quote ’Black aesthetic’ across mediums and formats,” Lee says. “There are, of course, sympathies and interplays between the pieces I have selected, but each stands clearly on its own. For example, I love that while there are certain formal moves, materials, or motifs shared by many of the pieces, they each arrive at a very different place and represent a uniquely exciting idea. I selected all of these objects because of their beauty and story. Some were born simply out of aesthetic exploration. Others are grounded in a larger narrative idea.”
‘11’ presented by Zarlot Participating in Salon Art + Design for the first time, the Brooklyn-based architecture collective and gallery Zarolat mounted the ‘11’ exhibit, a selection of 11 furniture pieces and artworks by seven local talents arranged as if in a home interior. “These pieces demonstrate https://nuvomagazine.com/daily-edit/3-highlights-from-this-years-new-yorks-salonart-design-fair?srsltid=AfmBOoql0iaVFQSjj7Hk069cNZQ94gflnYdGiD84Nlml0QRIHQkaAby
skilful manufacturing methods, questioning the nature of materiality and its boundaries,” founder Zeynep Arolat says. “Utilizing the physical qualities of the space we inhabit, each curation we orchestrate offers a unique experience by not only highlighting the individual objects but also by creating a dialogue among the pieces, challenging the ordinary ways of viewing art.” Exhibitors include Aimee Sy, Berk Ilhan in collaboration with Adem Önalan, Edoardo Cozzani, Giulia Archimede, Maja Dlugolecki, and Robert Thiele.

Sanford L. Smith, Creator of Prestigious Art Fairs, Dies at 84 Over four decades, he produced more than 150 events. Some dealers reported selling more in a weekend at a Smith fair than in a year in their galleries. By Fred A. Bernstein

https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/26/arts/sanford-l-smith-dead.html
Sanford L. Smith, an art lover and entrepreneur who created some of New York’s most prestigious art and design fairs, generating millions of dollars in sales and drawing attention to previously overlooked areas of art, died on Saturday at a senior living facility in Manhattan. He was 84. The cause was congestive heart failure, his wife, Jill Bokor, said. Mr. Smith didn’t invent the art fair, but he made his events essential stops for both buyers and sellers. Owners of some Lower Manhattan galleries would spend tens of thousands of dollars to move their wares a few miles north to the Park Avenue Armory, where many of Mr. Smith’s shows were held. Evan Snyderman, an owner of R & Company, a TriBeCa design gallery, said that at Salon Art + Design, one of Mr. Smith’s fairs, “we always reconnect with clients that we don’t see in other places — including New Yorkers who never come downtown.” Some dealers reported selling more art in a long weekend at a Sanford Smith fair than in a whole year at their own galleries. During his years in what he called “show business,” Mr. Smith ran more than 150 fairs, including the Fall Antiques Show, Modernism and the Outsider Art Fair. They were popular (in several cases attracting some 10,000 visitors over a three- or four-day weekend) as well as critical successes. The Times called his 2012 Salon “a museum in the making.” Asked to describe his career in an interview for this obituary in 2022, Mr. Smith said, “I filled holes.” What he meant was that he found gaps in between what other art fairs offered, and created new events to meet those needs. The Fall Antiques Show, which he founded in 1979, was the first such fair focused on American antiques. Then, on seeing the interest in work by self-taught artists at that show, he created the Outsider Art Fair in the early 1990s. “In the New York City art and design worlds, Sandy was a one-man institution,” Paul Donzella, a Manhattan dealer in 20th century lighting and furniture, said in an interview in 2022. “He showed incredible vision at a time when all of the fairs were the same old thing,” he added. “Modern design, outsider art, works on paper — no one was shining a light on these categories when Sandy took big risks on them.” In his heyday, Mr. Smith produced as many as 11 fairs a year, sometimes two on the same weekend. He organized shows in Boston; Philadelphia; Princeton, N.J.; and Chicago, in addition to New York, which, he said, was “where the money was.” Some of his fairs continue more than 30 years after he founded them, including a few that he sold to other companies. How much money changed hands at his shows? Mr. Smith could not say, because dealers, who rented booths for a flat fee, didn’t report their sales. But the numbers would probably be astronomical. “In theory, an art show can sell a painting for $100 million,” he said. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/26/arts/sanford-l-smith-dead.html
What he did know, he said, is that “a lot of people made a lot of money at my fairs.” Those people included Mr. Smith, who in addition to collecting rent from dealers sold tickets to his shows for as much as $35 a day. For many years he lived in a large brownstone on West 88th Street filled with paintings by such American modernists as Charles E. Burchfield and George Bellows and furniture by George Nakashima, Charlotte Perriand, Paul Evans, Alvar Aalto and Josef Albers, among others. The brownstone also housed collections of antique weather vanes, toy soldiers and late 19thcentury Austrian bronze figures of American Indians, three of the categories Mr. Smith said he “binged on.” His bingeing sometimes made him money, too. Over the years he sold his collections of American pewter, American spongeware and works by George Ohr, who was known as the “Mad Potter of Biloxi,” to collectors. Why sell? “The fun was in the hunt,” he said. Sanford Louis Smith was born in Brooklyn on July 22, 1939, the first of two sons of Irving and Rhoda (Levinson) Smith. His father (born Israel Smith) ran the Zion Memorial Funeral Home on Canal Street in Manhattan while his mother managed the household. Mr. Smith began collecting as a child — baseball cards and comic books. He majored in economics at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, then received a master’s degree in communications from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He was offered a job by Procter & Gamble in Cincinnati. But, he recalled: “My father offered me more money, plus a car, to come into the family business. And I got to stay in New York. So I took him up on it.” By that time he had married Patricia Lynch, whom he met in college. The couple had three sons. After their father died, he and his brother continued to operate the funeral business. “I was never a mortician,” Mr. Smith said. “I did the numbers. But I was bored out of my mind.” The funeral business, he wrote in an unpublished memoir, “is for lazy people. You can’t go out and solicit someone to die.” So he found another outlet for his love of business. On his off hours he combed antique shops in Greenwich Village, and he turned weekend visits to his in-laws in Connecticut into shopping expeditions. What couldn’t fit into his in-laws’ garage or the basement of the funeral home, he and his wife sold at a flea market at West 26th Street and Sixth Avenue. He told The Times in 2019 that in those days, the 1960s, renting a flea market stall cost $15. “The first time we did it, we made $50 net. I said, ‘This is for me.’” During those years he also wrote books about painters he admired and made Art Nouveau and Art Deco jewelry that he sold out of the funeral home. At one point he had an art gallery on Madison Avenue. Later, he began selling Viennese bronze animals, movie lobby cards and https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/26/arts/sanford-l-smith-dead.html
painted country furniture at art fairs. (In those days, fairs were generally held at Madison Square Garden or in the New York Coliseum.)

Eventually he decided he could run a better fair. “I saw that the managers weren’t taking care of their exhibitors. As soon as they got the gate” — meaning the ticket revenue — “they ran.” Mr. Smith had ideas for improvements: providing free coffee to everyone working at the fair, and hiring enough people to handle dealers’ complaints promptly. Over the years Mr. Smith raised millions of dollars for charities by allowing them to sponsor gala previews of his shows. He created his first fair, the Fall Antiques Show, in 1979. “I ran it out of the funeral home,” he recalled. That show ran for 21 years. Modernism came along in 1985 and lasted until 2010. In 2011, it was replaced by the Pavilion of Art & Design. But Mr. Smith had a nasty public feud with Patrick Perrin, the founder of the original Pavilion, which was in Paris. According to The New York Observer, each man circulated a letter during the fair’s run, asking that participating dealers promise never again to work with the other. The following year, Mr. Smith replaced Pavilion with his own creation, Salon Art + Design (which, per its name, was one of the few fairs to mix art and utilitarian objects). He hired Jill Bokor, a former design magazine publisher who had become his wife after Ms. Lynch died, as Salon’s executive director. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/26/arts/sanford-l-smith-dead.html
In addition to Ms. Bokor, he is survived by four sons: Colin, Jared and Ian, from his first marriage, and Luc Bokor-Smith; and five grandchildren. His other fairs included Works on Paper, now called Art on Paper; the National Black Fine Art Show; the Aipad (Association of International Photography Art Dealers) Photography Show; the New York International Antiquarian Book Fair; the Art Dealers Association of America Art Show; the Philadelphia Antiques Show; the New Jersey Antiques Show; the International Fine Print Dealers Association Print Fair, and the Chicago Art + Antiques Show, now called The Chicago Show: Antiques & Art & Modern. “Every fair I’ve ever done has been profitable, from Day 1, ” Mr. Smith said in 2022. But his success was more than just financial. “I give him a lot of credit,” Mr. Donzella said, “for creating these fairs and for staying relevant for so long.”

At Salon Art + Design, Nature and Beauty Come Center Stage More than 50 galleries tease the lines between function and decoration, in a year when the fair has a far-reaching mission: to give more artists a chance to be seen. By Martha Schwendener

This year’s edition of the Salon Art + Design fair at the Park Avenue Armory is back with 54 galleries, five special exhibitions and new leadership. The fair, which brings together objects and installations that blur the lines between art and utility has a distinct mission this year: to address the obstacles that have kept many people out of creative fields. Its new director, Nicky Dessources, who is looking to expand the representation of artists — particularly people of color — and connect with other communities: there is a partnership with the Dia Art Foundation and a benefit to support that art institution’s programs as well as a new Design & Art Advisory Council to build ties between the various players in the art and design fields. What matters for most of us, though, is what you see in a fair, and this edition offers quite a lot to appreciate. Here are some highlights. Ippodo Gallery (Booth B4)

The natural world often plays a starring role in Japanese art and design. At New York’s Ippodo Gallery, that can be as wild as the force of a tsunami, which inspires the origami-styled ceramics of Yukiya Izumita. Ikuro Yagi, who has an exhibition in the gallery, also has a gorgeous, serene painting made with trees painted on squares of mulberry paper and collaged onto a surface with sliding doors that recalls Japanese screens. Also here are Kodai Ujiie’s exceptional ceramics, which use nature’s imperfections as a springboard for creating surfaces that bubble and crackle and crawl. Here, the vessel is treated like a body and the glaze like skin that is living, breathing, and perfectly imperfect.

Next door to Ippodo, the London gallerist Elisabetta Cipriani specializes in “wearable art,” which means jewelry that transcends jewelry, I guess. Some of the pieces are jaw-dropping, such as a whirling Frank Stella sculpture shrunken to the size of a chunky gold ring, or some crazy golden lips by the sculptor Jannis Kounellis. A homage to the natural world stands out though: Michele Oka Doner’s bronze casts of little tree branches sprinkled with old cut diamonds — basically, recycled diamonds rather than newly mined ones — to look like frost or dew. Spooky and poetic, they offer an interesting way to think about denuded branches as winter approaches. Studio Giancarlo Valle (Entrance) https://www.nytimes.com/2024/11/07/arts/design/salon-art-design-fair-parkavenue-armory.html

At the entrance to the fair, the designer Giancarlo Valle suggests a novel way to present your design projects, as little dollhouse-size models with hand-painted clay, plaster and wooden versions of furniture and interiors. Displayed here is a survey of Valle’s work, from big city apartments to island getaways, arranged in a grid of illuminated spaces. What’s special about this? Rather than the customary computer-software approach, the interiors have a handcrafted feel that starts, literally, with the artists and designer’s manual shaping and molding. It’s a reminder that while computers can be great, they can also, paradoxically, be limiting.

Another booth that challenges limits — this time social and cultural ones within the design fields — is Verso, which is doing a collaboration with Black Folks in Design, an organization that seeks to connect Black practitioners in architecture, fashion, interior design and graphic design across the world. The interior designer Little Wing Lee has brought together seven artists and designers in the booth. One of the standouts here is Nifemi Marcus-Bello, a Nigerian designer whose cast aluminum bench evokes both traditional Yoruban sculpting and modernist minimal form — but also includes playful references to television shows he watched while growing up in Lagos.

A few doors down at Weinberg Modern, the spotlight is on the Vienna-born designer Fran Hosken, who trained as an architect and, with her furniture, participated in MoMA’s “Good Design” promotions. What’s highlighted here, however, is her brass jewelry made on a lathe in her Boston basement between 1948 and 1951, and inspired by industrial spring mechanisms. The design historian and curator Charlotte von Hardenburgh has basically brought a dissertation to the booth at Weinberg, and here you can learn all you want about https://www.nytimes.com/2024/11/07/arts/design/salon-art-design-fair-parkavenue-armory.html
Hosken, who died in 2006. She trained under the Bauhaus maestro Walter Gropius, but also fought for women’s health care and against female and sexual genital mutilation.

Across the aisle from Weinberg, Connecticut dealer Thomas Colville offers a cheerier narrative with bright American modernist paintings from the 1930s and 1940s. It’s impossible to miss Charles Biederman’s lemon-yellow “Untitled” (1936), an oil-on-canvas painting of abstract forms that also looks like a painting of an abstract sculpture. Biederman spent time in Paris and his work resonates with the influences of artists he met there, like Picasso, Miró and Fernand Léger. Biederman was also a writer and an art historian and theorist, and his painting pulsates with the feeling that abstraction is a deeply theoretical, not just decorative, approach.

Finally, there is Bernard Goldberg, the amiable nonagenarian gallerist who also specializes in American art and always brings something that I might call critic-bait to the fair. This time it’s a frieze-like study by Rockwell Kent for a mural for the World’s Fair in New York in 1939 and 1940. The oil-on-canvas work champions the wonders of electricity, echoing the humans and deities in Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel — only here with blooming sparks emitted from their fingertips. The World Fair’s theme was “Building the World of Tomorrow.” Since new technology is always at our doorstep, though, Goldberg has once again brought to this fair a fascinating piece of art history that feels incredibly relevant.

Salon Art + Design Executive Director Nicky Dessources On What’s New This Year The fair returns to the Park Avenue Armory on November 7 with new galleries, a new advisory council and more By Elisa Carollo

Salon Art + Design is returning to the Park Avenue Armory in New York City from November 7 to 11 for its 13th edition, now under the leadership of executive director Nicky Dessources, who succeeded Jill Bokor. When asked what we can expect from this edition, Dessources, https://observer.com/2024/07/salon-art-design-announces-details-2024-edition/
who most recently spent ten years at Sanford L. Smith + Associates, told Observer that there will be “several exciting new elements, including innovative designs from new exhibitors, some exciting returning galleries, special design installations and a variety of engaging programs that we will announce soon.” She added that she is “eager to bring my personal touch and aesthetic to the fair, introducing fresh perspectives while upholding the high standards for which Salon is renowned.” And renowned it is, for both its vibe and the highly curated boutique selection of fine art, designer furniture and fine glass and ceramics that is anything but fussy. “The atmosphere of the Park Avenue Armory is perfect for an event like Salon in large part because it, in itself, is a curated work of design,” Bokor told Observer in 2023. For 2024, Salon Art + Design selected fifty exhibitors—a distinguished roster that includes first-time galleries such as Galerie Anne Jacquemin Sablon, Bossa and Ippodo. Among the returning exhibitors are some notable established names in the collectible design industry, including Gallery FUMI, Maison Gerard or NILUFAR, Bernard Goldberg Fine Arts, David Gill Gallery, Donzella Ltd., Galerie Marcilhac, Galerie Chastel-Maréchal, Liz O’Brien, Todd Merrill Studio and Twenty First Gallery. The fair will introduce an inaugural Design & Art Advisory Council comprised of leading interior designers and art advisors such as Andre Mellone, Allan Schwartzman, Kim Heirston, Julie Hillman, John and Christine Gachot, Sara Story and others. And, as first reported by WWD, actress and avid art collector Julianne Moore has joined Salon Art + Design‘s honorary committee and will take part in a panel discussion with gallerist Evan Lobel. The fair’s extensive programming also puts new installations outside of the regular booths, showcasing in the Armory’s Drill Hall the creations of designers like Atelier FM, Victoria Yakusha Gallery, Thomas Cooper Studio and more. Finally, this year the fair has renewed its partnership with Dia Art Foundation, which will stage an exclusive benefit hour during the opening night of the Salon, co-hosted by motherdaughter duo Nathalie de Gunzburg and Laura de Gunzburg to support Dia’s exhibition program. Proceeds from last year’s benefit are helping fund the Steve McQueen exhibition opening at Dia Chelsea this September, while funds raised this year will go toward the Duane Linklater exhibition slated for 2025.

This year’s November art fair calendar is relatively unbusy—relative because the downtime art world insiders used to enjoy has been largely eaten up by a global market that never sleeps. That said, November’s lineup of fairs is widely distributed, which means it’s likely that only the most hardcore collectors and art enthusiasts will try to visit more than a couple. https://observer.com/2024/10/november-art-fair-calendar-2024-art-fair-guide/
Think of this month not as a break but as a welcome lull between New York’s Armory Week in September and Art Basel Miami Beach in December (along with its many, many, many Miami Basel satellite fairs). Whether you’re staying close to home to prepare for next month’s art fair extravaganza or hitting the road on an international odyssey of art, Observer’s global guide to the art fairs in November can help you put together the perfect itinerary. Salon Art + Design 2024 November 7-11 Salon Art + Design is returning to the Park Avenue Armory in New York City for its 13th edition, now under the leadership of executive director Nicky Dessources, who succeeded Jill Bokor. When asked what we can expect from this edition, Dessources, who most recently spent ten years at Sanford L. Smith + Associates, told Observer that there will be “several exciting new elements, including innovative designs from new exhibitors, some exciting returning galleries, special design installations and a variety of engaging programs that we will announce soon.” This fair is rightly lauded for both its vibe and the highly curated boutique selection of fine art, designer furniture and fine glass and ceramics that is anything but fussy. This year’s roster of galleries includes first-timers such as Galerie Anne Jacquemin Sablon, Bossa and Ippodo, alongside returning participants like Bernard Goldberg Fine Arts and NILUFAR. The fair will additionally introduce its inaugural Design & Art Advisory Council composed of leading interior designers and art advisors such as Andre Mellone, Allan Schwartzman, Kim Heirston, Julie Hillman, John and Christine Gachot, Sara Story and others.

2024 Salon Art + Design Leans Into Natural Diamonds Discover Michele Oka Donner’s natural diamond pieces with Elisabetta Cipriani Gallery at the 2024 Salon Art + Design. By Jane Asher
Every year, Salon Art + Design showcases vintage, modern, and contemporary art pieces from leading art and design galleries from around the globe in New York City. This curated collection of art includes fine art, home design pieces, and most recently jewelry and wearable art. https://www.naturaldiamonds.com/culture-and-style/salon-art-design-2024-micheleoka-doner-elisabetta-cipriani-gallery/
Jewelry exhibitions are still new for Salon Art + Design, but with each year of jewelry inclusion, the natural diamonds on display become more exceptional, unique and cutting edge. This year, a highlight at the show is the Michele Oka Doner Collection, presented in the Elisabetta Cipriani Gallery, where wearable art is showcased and celebrated. Elisabetta Cipriani and her Gallery are based in London but she shares exclusively with Only Natural Diamonds that she’s excited to showcase in NYC. “[New York is] a city where there is a lot of interesting energy and connection to the world of artist jewelry and I want to explore that by coming to New York, by participating at a fair like the Salon.”

Cipriani first met Oka Donner many years ago, but always stayed in touch. “We never lost [our] connection,” remembers the gallerist. “I was always waiting for her moment when she was ready.” Eventually, a meeting of the minds came when Oka Donner invited Cipriani to New York. “We spent two hours together, which seemed two minutes, it just flew,” says Cipriani with a smile. “Michele showed me all her archive pieces and she was brainstorming what to do, how to do it, and that’s how it started.” The collection came together for the 2024 Salon Art + Design as an homage to the Botanic Age, “a time long before the Stone Age, when plants and trees were central to human development and creativity,” according to a press release from Elisabetta Cipriani Gallery. It includes a series of nine, one-of-a-kind brooches in bronze, 18-karat white gold and vintage cut diamonds called “Winter Branches: An Ongoing Conversation,” a bronze, 18-karat yellow cold and natural diamond talisman called “Talisman,” and a limited edition of 5 electroformed silver boxes called “Mitosis.”

Working with natural diamonds was very important to Oka Donner, who sees the gemstones as “mythic” with a “sense of magic.” They also lent themselves perfectly to the natural theme of the collection, specifically on her branch-like brooches: “I could imagine morning dew, I could imagine frost… [on the] winter branches ” she says. “So if you have the softer, the old diamonds, you perceive first the shape and then you look again and you see what is ephemeral.” “Diamonds work to tell the story that I want to tell,” Oka Donner adds, noting that natural diamonds have been revered for centuries. “I’m just speaking of the magic and the aura… it didn’t take anything to let our ancestors know that this beautiful, shiny thing that had a depth and is faceted differently by so many cultures… but all these cultures couldn’t wait to get their hands on it and bestow it.”
Vine ©2007/2024 Michele Oka Doner

Cipriani worked with Oka Donner to help release her inner creative on this project, and Oka Donner notes, “it was nice to have a sort of co-pilot, somebody who was going to play with me in this sandbox. And that’s what we did!” Cipriani always dives head-first with the artists she works with, imbuing every collaboration with passion. “I want to leave a mark in the history of art for the jewelry. That’s my mission,” she shares. “in the case of Michele, through her pieces we are connected to nature, we are going back to nature. They are reminders of something. And because of that, you keep them close to you and you don’t forget them because they symbolize something important.” 2024 Salon Art + Design is open to the public from November 7 to November 11, 2024 at the Park Avenue Armory in New York City.

Holiday Shopping? Here Are All the Jewelry Happenings in NYC This Month Calling all jewelry lovers! You won’t want to miss the events, store openings, and books we've cherrypicked for you. By Victoria Gomelsky

Jewelry enthusiasts, start your engines. The holiday season begins in earnest this month with scores of jewelry-themed events and store openings taking place across New York City. Below we offer our cherrypicked guide to November’s most notable jewelry happenings. Events The 13th edition of Salon Art + Design takes over the Park Avenue Armory on the Upper Eastside from Nov. 7-11. Featuring nearly 50 exhibitors, the fair, a leading destination for https://robbreport.com/style/jewelry/jewelry-events-in-nyc-this-month-1235982821/
collectible art and design, is now emerging as a destination for important jewels thanks to gallerists and designers such as London-based jeweler Fernando Jorge, who is making his debut at the fair this year with a trove of important pieces from past collections, as well as brand new work.
Stream earrings by Fernando Jorge Fernando Jorge
“I will bring pieces from the Surround and Brilliant collections, but the focus will be on Stream, which is one of my most recognized collections that just completed 10 years from its launch,” Jorge tells Robb Report. “I’ll be introducing Deep Stream, a series of pieces that https://robbreport.com/style/jewelry/jewelry-events-in-nyc-this-month-1235982821/
utilizes Brazilian Red Louro wood and brown diamonds, as well as new additions to the Stream collection in gold and jade.”

Elsewhere at the fair, “jewelry has become an increasingly exciting attraction,” Nicky Dessources, the fair’s executive director, says. “The jewelry gallery cohort includes first time exhibitor Elisabetta Cipriani, who will present the work of Michele Oka Doner; DK Farnum showing important vintage material; and Rosier and Yvel with their seductive and brilliant colored gemstones. In addition, galleries that are known for other specialties will add jewelry to their offerings.”

Vintage earrings at DK Farnum DK Farnum
For example, Phoenix Ancient Art will be showing “Aphrodite and Her Jewelry,” a selection of bronze and marble statuettes of the goddess of love alongside gold Greek and Roman rings, necklaces and intaglios. Finally, don’t miss the Weinberg Modern booth. The gallerists have designed an immersive home library/studio to conjure an office space once inhabited by Fran Hosken, the 20th century American designer, writer and social activist. In addition to featuring a nearly 20-foot wall of design and architecture books, the space will also highlight the Viennese heiress’s jewelry collection, presented for the first time ever. Store Openings The same week that Fernando Jorge is debuting at Salon Art + Design, he is opening his first U.S. showroom at 210 11th Ave. https://robbreport.com/style/jewelry/jewelry-events-in-nyc-this-month-1235982821/
The Surround Comet earrings by Fernando Jorge Fernando Jorge
“The space in New York is coming to life as an organic development,” Jorge says. “We already have a strong client base here due to our wholesale presence and years of coming to trunk shows. My experience with our London showroom has also encouraged me to make this move. Our space in London has brought us so much closer to our clients and changed the way we interact. It was just a matter of finding the right space and time to do something equivalent in New York. Like London, our space in New York will be run by appointment only and there will be a comprehensive selection of jewelry on display for our clients and friends to immerse themselves in a way that they could not experience yet through our retailers. The space also means I will be spending more time in New York!”

Memorable moments from epic events that’ll make you think, smile, and reflect The talk inside special events presented by The Shed, Salon Art + Design, and the National Urban League By Souleo

President-elect Trump has sent shockwaves throughout the transgender community. His promises to enact policies such as limiting gender-affirming care and eliminating the genderneutral “X” marker on federal identity documents such as passports, has trans people and allies worried about the state of their rights. And yet, some trans people — such as rapper Ms. Boogie — continue to push past such fears and embrace new chapters in their lives, such as parenthood. At The Shed’s 2024 Gala, Ms. Boogie – who identifies as a Black trans woman – shared how adopting a child shortly after the debut of her one-night only show at The Shed earlier this year, made her want to be a visible example of trans parenthood. According to a 2020 report by the Williams Institute at UCLA School of Law, an estimated 19 percent of transgender adults in the U.S. are parents. “For my community, it means the world,” she said. “I want us to know that we are capable of nurturing, we are capable of caring for life, building life and being part of people’s lives in the most pure way possible … It’s not the light we’re seen in. But we have to shine the light on ourselves. So motherhood is possible.” Investing in Black creatives at Salon Art + Design

From November 7 to 11, the 13th edition of Salon Art + Design made history as a recordsetting more than 12,000 guests (according to the Salon) attended the fair. Attendees were https://rollingout.com/2024/11/25/10-moments-from-the-epic-events/
treated to a dazzling array of art, installations, design, and jewelry presented by 54 exhibiting galleries. The fair, which has been vocal about its mission to give greater visibility to more artists, featured an exhibition presented by Black Folks in Design (BFiD) in collaboration with Verso. One of the artists on display was Shoshanna Weinberger, who shared her excitement at being included in the BFiD booth for its inclusivity both in terms of race and creative practice. “I love this whole booth because it’s showcasing people of color, designers of color, and for me to be part of that is amazing,” she said. “It’s wonderful to see my work connected to functionality. And also to see furniture and design as art and how they relate to one another– breaking down those barriers.”

Little Wing Lee, BFiD founder and the creative director/principal of her own interior design company, Studio & Projects, shared her ideas on further breaking down barriers for Black designers, particularly as it pertains to funding within the industry. “I think it’s [about] more capital investment. So having the funds to pay to have a prototype made of a design that you’re thinking about. I think the money can give designers that time to iterate, to design, and to produce beautiful work,” she explained. “I think the funding could come from larger corporations…large furniture manufactures who could offer grants investing in smaller firms and designers to help the industry grow.”

Visceral inspirations guide Twenty First Gallery's showcase at Salon Art + Design Among the American gallery's showcases at Salon Art + Design 2024 are cabinets, tables, sofas, sculptures, mirrors and artworks utilising meticulous craftsmanship techniques. By Almas Sadique At Salon Art + Design 2024, taking place from November 7 - 11, 2024, in New York, USA, Twenty First Gallery is showcasing a series of carefully curated pieces by various established and experimental creatives. Intending to celebrate craftsmanship in contemporary design while platforming bold objects that sit well within modern spaces, the American design gallery is presenting several functional and decorative indoor objects at Park Avenue Armory in New York. Remaining true to Twenty First's overarching philosophy, each piece is the result of expert craftsmanship and illustrious quality. Alluding to this defining characteristic, Hervé Winkler, one half of RoWin'Atelier—one of the studios showcasing at the gallery's booth at the ongoing design event—states, "Our initial research to find artisans who work with respect and passion, their production techniques and materials, are what define our work."

Some studios and designers whose works are on display at Twenty First Gallery's booth include Erwan Boulloud, Emmée Parizot, RoWin'Atelier, Giuseppe Ducrot, François Corbeau, Jean Grisoni, Marcin Rusak, Alexandra Mocanu, Nathalie Ziegler, Vincent Corbière, Béatrice Serre, Richard Texier and Hubert Le Gall. The pieces on display include a sofa, tables, cabinets, mirrors, a chandelier, lamps, wall installations and decorative sculptural designs. Almost all the pieces are made using contemporary materials such as stainless steel, brass, glazed ceramic, glass and marble, with slight additions of wood, bronze and lapis-lazuli inlay. The gallery's booth was co-curated and imagined by Paris-based scenographer and interior designer, Jean de Piépape, who aimed to create a resolutely modern ambience. "I envisioned it as the home of the design collector, with a predilection for forms that recall those in nature," de Piépape shares.

France-born Erwan Boulloud's cabinet design exhibited at the design fair fuses various materials together, such as wood, bronze, brass, steel, glass, gold leaf, inlaid precious stones and preserved exotic butterfly specimens. The Lororo II (2023) cabinet, whose jewel-like surface features a complex array of concentric patterns, is reflective of the French designer's myriad intellectual quests. Rome-based Giuseppe Ducrot's Celadons Sconces (2022) and Pair of White Amphorae II (2023) ceramic sculptures, on the other hand, bear Greek and Roman influences with a hint of Baroque expressionism. The Italian ceramicist comes from a long line of designers and builders. Among the other pieces adorning the wall over Boulloud's cabinet are Vincent Corbière's Mermaid’s Purse Mirror https://www.stirpad.com/news/stir-news/visceral-inspirations-guide-twenty-firstgallerys-showcase-at-salon-artdesign/?utm_source=search_bar&utm_medium=stirpad_search
II (2024), Béatrice Serre's Blue Sun Mirror (2024) and Hubert Le Gall's Carafon Mirror (2012). Paris-based Jean Grisoni's Sampolo Mirror (2020), characterised by a crisscrossed layer of patinated bronze rods, highlights the textures and contrasts of his chosen material. Since the overall design is fairly minimalistic, dynamism is added to the piece via the incongruity in tone and texture. French painter and sculptor Richard Texier's patinated bronze Savana Circus Lamp (2019) references fantastical tree trunks and Nathalie Ziegler's Heliolite Mirror (2022) and La Forêt Glass Candleholders (2023) evoke images of plants.

French sculptor Emmée Parizot's black-patinated bronze Party and Triumph Vases (2024) and Mirror of the Seabed (2024) reference her interpretations of scriptures and mythology. The mirror is inscribed with six different figures that could allude to family, strangers or mythical sea dwellers. Twenty First's founder Renaud Vuaillat shares, "Its intricate design combines elements of antiquity with a mythical narrative, celebrating the rich heritage of underwater life." Similarly, the vases are adorned with both seated and moving characters, decorated with an array of hats and costumes. Parisian studio RoWin’Atelier, founded by Frédéric Rochette and Hervé Winkler, showcases the sculptural Conq Sofa (2023), which is lavishly upholstered in plush deep-purple velvet with bronze insets. Seated in the middle of the booth, it serves as a perfect centrepiece with https://www.stirpad.com/news/stir-news/visceral-inspirations-guide-twenty-firstgallerys-showcase-at-salon-artdesign/?utm_source=search_bar&utm_medium=stirpad_search

French artist François Corbeau's Bronze Bas Relief Credenza 5 Doors (2023) cabinet is defined by rippling, polished bronze doors that resemble the surface of the water. Its gleaming finish reflects both the observer and the surrounding environment. Corbeau, with his cabinet design, gives a contemporary twist to dinanderie metalwork techniques that date back to mediaeval Europe. Marcin Rusak's Protoplasting Nature Chandelier 230 (2024) serves as a novel experimentation by the Polish designer. Instead of using real flowers to sculpt this design, Rusak incorporated 3D scans of leaves, which were then cast in bronze and attached to branch-like arms that gracefully twist and turn, giving the light fixture the impression of being in motion. Bucharest-born French-Romanian artist Alexandra Mocanu's Tapestry N36 (2019) wall installation is a hand-woven wool feature on cotton canvas. Mocanu describes her artistic process as a "painting by numbers" game. She starts by creating a gouache, whose brushstrokes are painstakingly replicated in wool. The French artist's tapestry, thus, defined by a series of lines and fluctuating colours, appears, from a distance, like a framed painting that asserts the trompe-l’œil effect.

Todd Merrill Studio anchors on artistic collectible objects at Salon Art + Design The American gallery's eighth showcase at Salon Art + Design New York featured collectible designs such as lamps, tables and sculptures transcending material limitations. By Simran Gandhi
A radiant Medusa lamp, voluptuous glass globes, studded ceramic plates and sculptural furniture marked American contemporary art and design gallery Todd Merrill Studio's eighth showcase at this year's Salon Art + Design fair. With a reputation for cultivating an https://www.stirpad.com/news/stir-news/todd-merrill-studio-anchors-on-artisticcollectible-objects-at-salon-artdesign/?utm_source=search_bar&utm_medium=stirpad_search
international roster of established and emerging artists, each bringing an unprecedented vision to the contemporary design landscape, Todd Merrill Studio unfurled its curated assemblage of design, fine art and singular objects. "Each work is a testament to the studio's unwavering commitment to craftsmanship, pushing the limits of traditional techniques and materials to create works of extraordinary beauty and functionality," mentions the show's press release, endorsing the gallery's role in furthering collectible design.

The global artists and designers represented by Todd Merrill Studio contribute to a new visual language that transcends conventional material limitations, from wood and metal to glass and resin, creating pioneering works that redefine the boundaries between art and design. At this year's design event in NY, the gallery's booth was replete with works of ingenuity and finesse. Each exhibited piece vividly embodied each creative's personal touch within an intimate studio environment. Below are STIR's picks of some of the key exhibits from Todd Merrill Studio's exhibit at Salon Art + Design, held from November 7 - 11, 2024, in New York, USA.

Germany-born sculptor and lighting designer Markus Haase, known for his masterful fusion of stonemasonry, metalworking and LED technology, unveiled a hand-carved, serpentine LED light titled Medusa, as the exhibit's focus. Each element of the sculpture (a completely new body of work), from its bronze armature to the carefully inlaid marble, reflects Haase's attention to detail and technical prowess. "Paying homage to its mythological namesake, the work's inherent beauty draws the viewer in, who remains seemingly frozen in space while admiring the sheer magnificence of the work," the gallery's official statement relays. Another exhibit presented by Haase was the asymmetric Circlet series chandelier, which explored the potential of cast aluminium "while seemingly defying gravity…He remains the only artist working at this level creating works of this complexity by his own hand," the gallery notes.

Horizontal Free Form, 2024, John Procario Image: Courtesy of Todd Merrill Studio
At Salon Art + Design New York, American sculptor John Procario debuted with evocative, organic forms with a fluid aesthetic. Reflecting on the sensual contours of the human body and the undulating landscape of the Hudson Valley, his Sculpted sofa series features a gentle C-curve, with a floating, thirteen-foot ash wood frame that eludes gravity, rooting only at the rounded corners. Procario intuitively shaped each form through meticulous layering and carving, honouring the natural curves of the micro-stacked wood base with cream alpaca wool upholstery. The artist also introduced new lighting designs, including a vertical navy Tear Drop LED light sculpture and the horizontal Free Form silhouette light, epitomising his "signature organic aesthetic".

Framing the entrance of the gallery's booth at the design fair was the Totem series by American contemporary artist and lighting designer Jamie Harris, who transforms light and colour into a striking vertical sculptural art piece. Each Totem, crafted from hand-blown, voluptuous glass globes, exudes a tranquil, ethereal quality while standing as a bold, epochal structure commanding presence while exemplifying his proficiency in glassblowing with a meditative, painterly approach.

According to the gallery established in 2000, Harris views these works as "columns of light concretised by vertically assembled objects," describing his symbolic dialect as "the abstract language of light and colour". The artist plays with shades of cerise, rose gold and cerulean, achieving a rich palette that mirrors his inspirations from Venetian glasswork and 20thcentury colour theorists. With the Totem series, the contemporary designer extends his commitment to pushing the boundaries of glass as both a medium and an expressive art form.

Attune, 2024, Molly Hatch Image: Courtesy of Todd Merrill Studio
Massachusetts-based artist Molly Hatch reimagined historical ceramic artistry with Attune, an intricate assemblage of 107 hand-painted earthenware plates accented with underglaze, glaze and 22K gold lustre. The installation translates a monumental, cross-cultural dialogue into an intimate scale for a private residence. Hatch's plates, adorned with motifs from diverse historical ceramics, offer a layered homage to the interconnected global trade networks that have shaped artistic traditions.

Ribbon Lamps, 2024, Draga & Aurel Image: Courtesy of Todd Merrill Studio
Italy-based multidisciplinary design studio Draga & Aurel presented Ribbon Lamps and an expansion of its Flare series, reflecting the artist duo, Draga Obradovic and Aurel K. Basedow's "inspirations of retro-futuristic space age design, optical art, and minimalism's clean lines and elegant simplicity,” as per the press statement. The Ribbon Lamps, named for their sinuous Lucite forms, emit a dynamic, floating light effect as colour shifts through the gracefully curved surfaces. Begetting functional art objects, the Flare series features a monumental cabinet and dining table, exploring the interplay of light and transparency in bold Lucite and resin. "Flare is a spark of colour that explodes, frees itself, and takes shape," explains Obradovic, capturing the studio's expressive and experimental approach.

Todd Merrill Studio's exhibit at Salone Art + Design fair this year exemplified a harmony between artistry and craftsmanship, inviting viewers to engage with light, form and texture in modest and interesting ways. Other creatives and design practices participating in the showcase included New York-based ceramicist Christopher Russell, France-born artist Djivan Schapira, French lapidary sculptor Hervé Obligi, and Georgia-based artist Erik Speer. This year's booth also featured a bleached white jute rug design from Patterson Flynn, a silver leaf wallpaper from Phillip Jeffries and upholstered fabric from Dedar.

Is Salon Art and Design 2024 The Most Glamorous Iteration Yet? Nicky Dessources, the fair's newly appointed executive director, brought in a fresh energy to the fair that made even the most discerning of clients want to buy, well, everything. By Isiah Magsino

Joe Kramm and the Female Design Council
Nicky Dessources emerges from within the corridors of the Park Avenue Armory clad in a belted tan dress an hour before aesthetes from across industries and the world converge to see this year's Salon Art and Design fair. One may assume that she feels an immense sense of pressure—it is her first time leading the fair as its executive director—but one also wouldn't be able to tell: her elegant red-lipped smile is amplified by diamond earrings made by jeweler Fernando Jorge, and she carries herself calm, cool, and collected. She's brought in some veteran exhibitors this year, of course, but is also very excited to welcome in a new batch. "There are a few very young galleries like Boccara Gallrey. From the international standpoint I'm excited for Gallery CC. I love, love, love that I can support Black folks in Design, as I think it really adds more diversity that we need to touch on," she tells Town & Country standing in front of the Female Design Council's booth. Salon Art and Design is always a treat. Some of the rarest and highly coveted art pieces and design objects are fashioned into booths that allow for clients to envision how they may https://www.townandcountrymag.com/style/home-decor/g62852664/salon-artdesign-2024/
look in their homes (be that first or fourth). There was a 1950s sideboard by Hans Wauer ($42,000) at Karl Kemp Antique's booth that was divine: root wood grain and framed maple inlays were hoisted by thin elegant iron feet with gold ball decorations. It was curvaceous on its sides which added a flair of seduction to its otherwise sophisticated silhouette. At Gallery FUMI's booth, a celestial army of Jeremy Anderson's totem-like light fixtures stood tall, floated around, and mesmerized all those who ventured in. But, this year's fair seemed to have a secret weapon: jewelry. While it's not a completely new thing for jewelers to have a presence here, the larger batch of jewelers this year seemed to shift the client's experience. Suddenly, they weren't only thinking of how a piece of furniture could look in a space, but were also thinking how they would look in the space. How about the naturally shaped bracelet made of wood (yes, wood!), gold, and diamond by Jorge for when we host our family for Thanksgiving? This mid-century brass spring necklace by Fran Hosken at Weinberg Modern gallery would coil beautifully around any neck, and would work well within a space similar to Art Deco interiors at Galerie Marcihac. And, what about the Central Park Conservancy gala this year? Why not have a bit of sartorial fun and adorn our earlobes with these aquatic-like earrings from the jewelry brand Rosior from Porto? Suddenly, Salon Art and Design Fair felt similar to how fashion brands have begun turning shopping experiences into lifestyle experiences. Credit card bills seemed to follow a pattern: home goods, jewelry, home goods, jewelry–all stamped within a small increment of time, all within the same space. The deepest pocketed clients know that the truest form of luxury is convenience. Below, are a few of the the best galleries showing at Salon Art and Design 2024.

A New Furniture Line Embodies The Late Jacques Doucet: The Couterier to the Astors and Vanderbilts He was the designer of elite women of the Belle Époque era and collected Picasso and Brâncuși. Now, Garcé & Dimofski are taking his aesthetic tastes and applying them to one's home By Isiah Magsino
https://www.townandcountrymag.com/style/home-decor/a62907489/jacquesdoucet-furniture-garce-dimofski-2024/
Inês Silva Sá
Before there was Yves Saint Laurent and Karl Lagerfeld, there was Jacques Doucet: a couturier and art collector who dressed the who's who of the Belle Époque. Actress Sarah Bernhardt was one of his clients. As was a Carrie Astor, Consuelo Vanderbilt, and, even, Edith Wharton. Though he was a hit among the elite during this era, his sartorial tastes lost their luster in society by the 1920s, when fashion began to shed the Edwardian lavishness for simpler silhouettes (Think: Chanel's little black dress). But, those who follow fashion know that what's old always becomes new again, and Doucet's name is ringing in the ears of aesthetes more than a century later. What if Doucet were around today? How would he outfit his home? What pieces would he find worthy enough to match his taste? These are the questions that the design duo Olivier Garcé and Clio Dimofski pondered when creating their latest furniture line; a direct nod to the designer. The collection, which debuted at Salon Art + Design, comprises of pieces across all categories, from dining to living rooms, and sofas to sconces. "Each piece reflects Doucet's influence, with layered textures like the matte oak and shining ceramic in the Gray Coffee Table. Our designs are simple in shape but intricate in detail, creating an understated sophistication we think Doucet would have appreciated," Garcé and Dimofski tell T&C.
https://www.townandcountrymag.com/style/home-decor/a62907489/jacquesdoucet-furniture-garce-dimofski-2024/
Inês Silva Sá
The Portugal-based design duo Garcé & Dimofski took note of both Doucet’s taste in art and fashion. Doucet was a staple socialite in his era. By the time he was born (1853), "Doucet" was an established name due to his family's successful lingerie and linens business. His clothes were adored for their highly detailed embroideries, and use of rare gros point de Venise lace. He was an avid collector of artists, racking up names like Constantin Brâncuși, Marcel Duchamp, Henri Matisse, and Joan Miró (Little did he know that these artists would sell for several millions a century later). His trademarks are in Garcé and Dimofski's collection. There's a rug made in the same fashion as an archival Doucet Embroidery; there are sconces and lamps that echo Brancusi's sculptures. There's a hint of cubism in tables like Doucet's love for Picasso. And, the couches and chairs upholstered in Dedar fabrics mimic the curvaceous dresses Doucet fashioned for his women. https://www.townandcountrymag.com/style/home-decor/a62907489/jacquesdoucet-furniture-garce-dimofski-2024/
"From all couture houses of the Belle Époque, Jacques Doucet was the one who best understood and translated the sinuous and fluid lines of Art Nouveau in the sartorial field," Arnaud de Lummen, Managing Director of Luvanis, an investment company that revives dormant heritage brands. (Jacques Doucet is one of them). "Doucet’s popularity among elite women stemmed from his romantic, ultra-feminine designs allowing clients to embody an idealized, graceful past of fragility and romance. For wealthy Americans, his couture offered a slice of Parisian sophistication, while for Parisian women, he represented the pinnacle of style at the time."
Inês Silva Sá Might the Iribe Floor Lamp echo Doucet’s affinity for Brâncuși?
But, why now? Who today craves Doucet's aesthetics? For Isabelle Dubern-Mallevays, Cofounder of Invisible Collection where the line will exclusively sell, it has to do with the emphasis on how history plays such a vital role in the design process. "Today, design enthusiasts and collectors continue to draw from this perspective, buying into the culture https://www.townandcountrymag.com/style/home-decor/a62907489/jacquesdoucet-furniture-garce-dimofski-2024/
and storied imagination that lives on in this new collection of furniture. As the co-founder of Invisible Collection, I’m thrilled to present the Jacques Doucet Legacy Brand to our clients who value rich cultural narratives and historical depth in design."

Chosen by Tony Freund, editorial director and director of fine art, 1st Dibs Gallerist Evan Lobel’s booth at this year’s Salon Fair in New York was filled with works by Philip and Kelvin LaVerne, the father and son artisans who crafted uniquely decorative metal furniture from the 1960s through the 1980s. The display moved me in a way the LaVernes’ creations had never done before. Wandering through the panoply of tables, chairs, casepieces and sculptures realised in distinctively patinated bronze, with their rippling surfaces and decorative scenes of Ancient Greece, the Far East and lands beyond, helped me to finally understand the peculiar genius of this dynamic duo. Alchemy: The Art of Philip and Kelvin LaVerne by Evan Lobel is out now

For many, the number thirteen symbolizes adversity and bad luck, but at this year’s Salon Art + Design fair, it is a sum to celebrate. Entering its thirteenth year, the Salon continues its tradition of showcasing first-rate antique and contemporary art and design finds curated by renowned galleries worldwide. The show is produced by event management company Sanford L. Smith—who are known for their work with the Outsider Art Fair, the Art Dealers of America’s Art Show, and the New York Antiquarian Book Fair—and is taking place at the Park Avenue Armory in New York City from now until November 11. A former employee of Sanford L. Smith, Nicky Dessources—who served an almost ten-yearlong tenure at the company—has taken on a leadership role at the Salon as the new executive director. Dessources’s predecessor, Jill Bokor, is now the Salon’s Chairwoman Emeritus. “Following in the footsteps of Jill Bokor, I am committed to honoring the incredible vision and standard of excellence she established for the fair,” says Dessources. “This year promises to be a dynamic blend of tradition and forward thinking, and I am eager to share it with our community.”

The show’s lineup comprises nearly fifty up-and-coming and established exhibitors of varying specialties: furniture, studio glass, ceramics, Japanese art, and jewelry, with art and objects from periods stretching across time: vintage, modern, and contemporary. “Attendees will experience immersive installations as well as collections that reflect both the evolution and enduring beauty of decorative arts,” explains Dessources. “It’s an unparalleled opportunity to engage with works that are as intellectually stimulating as they are visually captivating, sparking conversations about where design has come from and where it’s heading.”

Among this year’s selection is a rare set of bas-relief panels made by French sculptor François-Emile Popineau (1887–1951) and ceramicists Maurice Dhomme and Alain Courmont. These panels were initially presented by Popineau at the 1927 Salon d’Automne in Paris and are now for sale at the New York-based Maison Gerard. Carved from enameled stoneware, the artwork portrays naked dancing graces caught in motion, with some figures holding hands while others frolic with draping fabric.

Products by Ukrainian designers will be showcased at the Salon Art + Design exhibition in New York By Staff Writer
https://odessa-journal.com/products-by-ukrainian-designers-will-be-showcased-atthe-salon-art--design-exhibition-in-new-york
From November 7 to 11, the Salon Art + Design fair will take place in New York—one of the most prestigious events in the world that unites leading design galleries from around the globe, as well as manufacturers shaping the evolution of contemporary collectible design. This year, a group of young Ukrainian designers will participate in the exhibition, showcasing their creations within the "Source" display curated by designer Victoria Yakusha, who this year became the first Ukrainian woman on the list of the most influential women architects in the world according to DeZeen. In the "Source" exhibition, the curator has brought together works from young Ukrainian designers—Andrii Mykhailiak, Tetyana Krasutska, Serhii and Anna Baiedorf, Yuliia and Yevhen Melnychenko, which embody key features of Ukrainian design: naivety, wildness, and vitality. For instance, Andrii Mykhailiak will present the minimalist lamp X made of steel, inspired by natural motifs. Serhii and Anna Baiedorf will showcase handmade glass lamps AKEBIA that resemble flower fields, along with the BRYLA sculpture-cabinet made of metal and glass.
https://odessa-journal.com/products-by-ukrainian-designers-will-be-showcased-atthe-salon-art--design-exhibition-in-new-york
AKEBIA lamps Yuliia and Yevhen Melnychenko will demonstrate an eco-friendly collection called KHMYZ, made from an authorial biomaterial "Zemletsvit"; the collection’s pieces feature smooth, rounded shapes that evoke the curves of branches and roots. Tetyana Krasutska will present the TYSHA dresser, made from natural stone.

Victoria Yakusha will showcase items from her latest collections: PLYN, TIARA, and LAND OF LIGHT, inspired by Ukrainian nature. According to Victoria, the participation of Ukrainian designers in the world-class Salon Art + Design fair is a significant event because "this exhibition is like couture, but in design": "Representing Ukrainian designers at the most influential exhibition of collectible design is much more important than it may seem. To get there, I used all my previous experience and credentials, went through a series of interviews and applications; it wasn't easy. All the designers presented have created new pieces, combining artisanal techniques that are very relevant in the world today. Therefore, our exhibition is a unique opportunity to showcase Ukrainian design on the global stage." https://odessa-journal.com/products-by-ukrainian-designers-will-be-showcased-atthe-salon-art--design-exhibition-in-new-york

Personalities from different fields, fashion, design, architecture, met at the IIC-NY.

“I met Saracino a few years ago,” said Manuel Tarlà, head of Orovetro, the Murano company that produced the works exhibited at IIC-NY. “We liked his designs right away and started working together.” The works on display, which represent Italian refined craftsmanship, feature colorful vases, figurines with distinctive shapes, chandeliers, and furniture tables. All are presented with the drafts of the individual projects, from the concept to the final products. The exhibition merges art, design, and innovation, with the roots in Italy and vision for the future—the perfect mix impersonated by Saracino himself. “It’s a great honor to bring my new collection to life here in New York, a city that thrives on innovation and creativity,“ Saracino said. “This exhibition is a tribute to Italy’s profound heritage of advanced craftsmanship and design research, where tradition meets technology to shape extraordinary new works. At Atelier APS, we take a multidisciplinary approach, seamlessly blending art, design, and craftsmanship to create timeless pieces that transcend boundaries. This exhibition tells a narrative—one that honors the essence of beauty and redefines the contemporary experience. Through this collection, I hope to share a glimpse of Italy’s timeless elegance, inspired by generations of Italian design, while embracing the future of art and design.”

MILAN — The Academy Award-winning actress and avid art and design collector Julianne Moore has joined Salon Art + Design‘s honorary committee, organizers told WWD Thursday. Moore who is set to play a restorer in an upcoming TV series about Leonardo da Vinci’s Salvator Mundi will join a roster of art enthusiasts such as glassmaker Paul Arnhold; Linda Fargo, Bergdorf Goodman’s senior vice president of the fashion office and director of women’s fashion and store presentation; artistic director, stylist and editor Colin King, and art patron Beth Rudin DeWoody, among others. The 2024 Salon Art + Design will be held at New York’s Park Avenue Armory from Nov. 7 to 11. “Julianne Moore has attended our fair as a client of some of our exhibitors and has a great eye for collectible design. It felt only natural to invite her to be part of our Salon family and join our impressive honorary committee this year. We’re excited to partner with some of our supporters, like Julianne, in a more involved way,” Nicky Dessources, the fair’s new executive director, told WWD. Dessources’ appointment was revealed last February. At the 2024 edition of the fair, Moore will participate in a panel discussion with Evan Lobel of New York City gallery Lobel Modern, Dessources added. Criteria for honorary committee members varies, she explained, but many are contributors to the world of design across many disciplines. “These members embody the spirit of Salon, many of them pushing the boundaries of how we define or view design. Our committee is an exciting mix of renowned and emerging collectors, tastemakers, institutional leaders and more,” she said. In addition to Moore’s appointment, Salon will introduce its inaugural Design and Art Advisory Council, composed of leading interior designers and art advisers such as Andre Mellone, Allan Schwartzman, Kim Heirston, Julie Hillman, John and Christine Gachot, Sara Story and others. “Their expertise will be invaluable in enhancing the fair’s offerings and creating an even more enriching experience for all attendees,” Dessources said.

MILAN — Though he’s been gone for almost 100 years, the legacy of French fashion designer Jacques Doucet, lives on. On Thursday, Invisible Collection’s New https://wwd.com/home-design/furniture/jacques-doucet-legacy-exhibit-salon-artdesign-1236714219/
York gallery debuted an exhibition designed by design duo Garcé & Dimofski and inspired by the late icon at Salon Art + Design. This year’s Salon Art + Design is currently being held at New York’s Park Avenue Armory until Monday. Born into a family that made lingerie and fabrics in 1853, French designer Jacques Doucet rose to fame in the late 1800s for his elegant gown designs that caugh the eye of the era’s A-list. He dressed turn-of-the-century fashionistas like French actress Sarah Bernhardt, socialists Carrie Astor and Consuelo Vanderbilt and writer Edith Wharton. A true patron of the arts, he was among the first to purchase works by Pablo Picasso, Paul Klee and Marcel Duchamp. His legacy endured, inspiring aesthetes including Yves Saint Laurent, Pierre Bergé and Karl Lagerfeld, all of whom were impacted by Doucet’s lifestyle and taste. Doucet died in 1928.

Arnaud de Lummen, Founder of Jacques Doucet and Founder and Managing Director of Luvanis Olivier and Clio Garcé Dimosksi, of Garcé & Dimofski Isabelle Dubern Mallevays, Co founder of Invisible Collection
Invisible Collection commissioned Portuguese studio Garcé & Dimofski, founded by Olivier Garcé and Clio Dimofski, to envisage a contemporary furniture collection that reflects his legacy. https://wwd.com/home-design/furniture/jacques-doucet-legacy-exhibit-salon-artdesign-1236714219/
For the collaboration, Invisible Collection partnered with Arnaud de Lummen, who is the founder and managing director of Luvanis, a company that specializes in reviving dormant luxury brands, and is the current owner of the Jacques Doucet brand. De Lummen recalled that Doucet wanted to be remembered as a collector rather than a couturier, who was a pioneer in bridging the worlds of art, fashion and design. “Paying tribute to Doucet with a furniture collection as a tribute to his role as a keen collector and tastemaker, feels totally in tune with his legacy. In his footsteps walked Jeanne Lanvin, Gabrielle Chanel, Christian Dior, Valentino Garavani, Yves Saint Laurent, Giorgio Armani and Ralph Lauren to name but a few who were also obsessed with interior decoration, with some who even created entire lines of home furniture,” he told WWD in an interview.

London-based platform Invisible Collection was founded in 2016 by Isabelle DubernMallevays, a former journalist and former creative director of Dior Home and Diptyque Home; reinsurance risk specialist and art collector Anna Zaoui, and luxury in-client strategy specialist Lily Froehlicher. Dubern-Mallevays said the 20-piece collection created by Garcé & Dimofski is faithful to Doucet’s design vision and is in-line with the brand’s core values, celebrating creativity, heritage and craftsmanship.
https://wwd.com/home-design/furniture/jacques-doucet-legacy-exhibit-salon-artdesign-1236714219/
“When Arnaud de Lummen shared his vision for reviving the spirit of Jacques Doucet by creating a furniture line inspired by what Doucet might have envisioned for 2024, Invisible Collection eagerly embraced the opportunity to present it exclusively,” she said. In 2015, Fondation Pierre Bergé-Yves Saint Laurent in Paris brought together works gathered by Yves Saint Laurent and the Belle Époque dressmaker Doucet, highlighting the eclectic spirit behind their hoard of paintings, furniture and art objects. The collection, sold exclusively on the Invisible Collection platform, comprises furnishings across categories — from dining and coffee tables, chairs, lighting, sofas, armchairs to carpets. The company said Garcé & Dimofski’s original designs were enhanced by enchanting embroidery detailing by Chanel-owned specialty atelier Maison Lemarié, which reference Doucet’s fashion designs as well as finishes that include handmade straw marquetry by Atelier Lison de Caunes. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, the Invisible Collection has opened showrooms in key cities such as the Mews House in the Marylebone neighborhood of London, The Townhouse in New York’s Upper East Side and one in Rive Gauche in Paris in the 7th arrondissement. Featuring an edit of famous designs, as well as exclusive capsules and collections that convey a distinct French aesthetic, the platform boasts more than 200 architects and interior designers with a global reach. From new talents and established masters, its roster of names includes architectural designer Laura Gonzalez, France-based interior and product designer Noé Duchaufour-Lawrance, architect and interior decorator Charles Zana and Portuguese multidisciplinary design brand Garcé & Dimofski, to name a few.

Criteria for honorary committee members varies, she explained, but many are contributors to the world of design across many disciplines. “These members embody the spirit of Salon, many of them pushing the boundaries of how we define or view design. Our committee is an exciting mix of renowned and emerging collectors, tastemakers, institutional leaders and more,” she said. In addition to Moore’s appointment, Salon will introduce its inaugural Design and Art Advisory Council, composed of leading interior designers and art advisers such as Andre Mellone, Allan Schwartzman, Kim Heirston, Julie Hillman, John and Christine Gachot, Sara Story and others. “Their expertise will be invaluable in enhancing the fair’s offerings and creating an even more enriching experience for all attendees,” Dessources said.
