One of the foremost collectible design and art fairs in the country, Salon Art + Design returns to the Park Avenue Armory in New York City November 10 to 14. The five-day event features a vast array of vintage, modern and contemporary design and blue-chip 20th century art from 52 international exhibitors.
Winold Reiss (1886-1953), Mural Study for Schrafft’s Restaurant, 1940. Gouache on paper, 101/8 x 23¼ in. Collection of Renate Reiss.
“We are thrilled to be welcoming back a number of our European galleries who, because of Covid, could not attend last year. They include Galerie Vallois, the world’s leading dealer in Art Deco, Galerie, Marcilhac, who specializes in French material from the ’30s and ’40s; Adrian Sassoon, from London and one of the most important galleries for ceramics and glass; and Modernity from Stockholm with their wide ranging collection of Scandinavian design,” says Jill Bokor, executive director of Salon Art + Design.
A limited edition tapestry designed by Alexander Calder (1898-1976). Woven by Atelier Pinton, Aubusson, France in celebration of the American Revolution bicentennial, 1975. Wool, 3 ft. 5 in. x 5 ft., signed “Calder.” Copyright of Alexander Calder 1975, after cartoon by A. Calder. Private collection, France.
Salon Art + Design will also feature numerous exhibitions and installations in the historic rooms at the entrance of the Park Avenue Armory.
In addition to historic American painting, the event focuses heavily on design, and Bokor says there are several things attendees should be on the lookout for this year in terms of American-made treasures. “First and very exciting is that Bernard Goldberg Fine Arts will exhibit a window from the original Horn & Hardart Automat. For those who don’t know, Horn and Hardart was a cafeteria founded in the 1880s whose distinction was that you got your food by inserting a coin into a slot and then opening the door and taking out the item. Goldberg has acquired a window from the first automat from Philadelphia, the city of its origin. These glass windows are important pieces of Americana and we’ve never had anything like them at the fair before. Also of American origin, Moderne Gallery will exhibit a fine collection of American Studio Furniture, including this striking piece by George Nakashima.”
An open, sleek floor plan allows the fine art and objects of design to shine.
Known for its innovative programming, Salon Art + Design will also have numerous exhibitions and installations in the historic rooms at the entrance of the Park Avenue Armory that transcend the gallery booths.
