What I Buy and Why: Art-Fair Impresario Sanford Smith on His Prized John Wayne Sculpture and Preference for Online Auctions

The

Long before the existence of Frieze, Art Basel, or any mega fair, Sanford Smith was bringing niche art and design fairs to various corners of Manhattan, starting with the the first All American Antiques Show at the Pier in 1980.

His second fair, Modernism, was trailblazing. At that time, no other fair had presented design material from 1860 to 1960 as a collecting category. The Works on Paper fair followed Modernism

to present a wide variety of watercolors, photographs, prints, drawings, and pastels. Smith followed that up with the first-ever presentation of the Outsider Art Fair at the Puck Building.

His most recent venture, Salon Art + Design premiered in November 2012 and celebrated its 10th year at the Park Avenue Armory last year. The next edition takes place this November.

We caught up with Smith to find out about his own collecting habits and passions.

S alon Art + Design announces exhibitors for 2022 edition

NEW YORK, NY. - Salon Art + Design, the leading collectible design and art fair produced by Sanford L. Smith + Associates, announces its exhibitor line-up and 11th edition at the Park Avenue Armory in New York City from November 10 - 14, 2022. Featuring 51 exceptional exhibitors, Salon Art + Design will welcome international galleries back into the fold to present the world’s leading design – vintage, modern and contemporary - and bluechip 20th century art.

For more than a decade, Salon Art + Design has evolved into the choice platform for exhibiting, experiencing,

collecting, and discussing design and art. A high point of New York’s Fall arts calendar, the fair will continue to captivate its audience with a robust international exhibitor list, special exhibitions and the return of in-person programming including exclusive talks and panel discussions.

Salon Art + Design has continued to differentiate itself from other fairs by including a highly curated mixture of historic and contemporary collectible design and fine art. Just as top interior designers create eclectic homes for discerning clients, Salon Art + Design exhibitors are encouraged to create immersive environments mirroring the way we live today.

“After a highly successful, though smaller, fair in 2021, we look forward to the return of many of the international galleries who were unable to participate because of the pandemic,” says Jill Bokor, Executive Director of Salon Art + Design. “This year galleries from the UK, France, Sweden and China will return, joined by newcomers from Los Angeles, Texas, Egypt, France and New York. The market for collectible design has remained strong and new works are eagerly sought by collectors, so Salon is excited to showcase new, previously unseen material.”

This November, Salon Art + Design welcomes back a highly international mix of exhibitors, many of whom were unable to attend last year due to international travel restrictions. These exhibitors will present an eclectic range that spans everything from European fine art and design to oceanic art. For the first time since its inception, Salon is welcoming a gallery from Egypt, Le Lab Atelier, who will show cutting-edge contemporary Egyptian design.

Many of the fair’s core exhibitors, who have participated in the fair throughout its duration, will return including Galerie Chastel-Marechal, Friedman Benda, Maison Gerard, Moderne, R + Company and Vallois.

Through its unmatched reputation, Salon Art + Design continues to attract new exhibitors from around the world and is proud to welcome newcomers including Armel Soyer, Boccara Gallery, Galerie Artempo, Galerie Carole Decombe, Galerie SCENE OUVERTE, Galerie Yves Gastou, GARDE and Le Lab Atelier.

More recently, Salon Art + Design has been recognized for its innovative programming as seen through innovative exhibitions and installations in the historic rooms at the entrance of the Park Avenue Armory that transcend the gallery booth. Visitors may also expect to have access to intimate events within the fair and exclusive, site-specific commissions.

Salon Art + Design also announced the third issue of Intersection Magazine, the fair’s luxurious print publication that will be sent to Salon’s very influential list of VIP’s, collector and designers. Produced in conjunction with Cultureshock Media, known for their outstanding publications by such entities as Sotheby’s, The Tate and the V&A, the magazine is slated to publish mid-October.

Salon Art + Design Announces Exhibitors for the 2022 Edition

I’ve covered the Salon Art + Design fair in the past, and wanted to share that they have announced the exhibitors for this year’s 11th edition of the fair, which will take place at the Park Avenue Armory in NYC from November 1014, 2022.

Organized and produced by Sanford L. Smith + Associates, Salon Art + Design in 2022 will feature 51 exceptional exhibitors, including international galleries, to present the world’s leading collectible design and fine art. A high point of New York’s fall arts calendar, the fair will continue to provide its audience with a robust international exhibitor list, special exhibitions, and the return of in-person programming including exclusive talks and panel discussions.

Below are a few sneak-peek previews of the type of offerings one will be able to find at Salon Art + Design. First up we have this Monople Sideboard, 2021, made of lacquered ash by GT2P (Great Things To People), which will be on view with Friedman Benda. GT2P is a Santiago de Chile based collaborative involved in projects of architecture, art and design. Friedman Benda is a New York based gallery which represents a roster of seminal established and emerging designers, as well as historically significant estates. I love this piece!

GT2PsideboardonviewwithFriedmanBendaatthe2022SalonArt+Designfair.

These glass sculptures (2022) are by Perrin & Perrin, a sculpting duo working together as one. They have worked in ceramics in parallel with their practice of Far Eastern calligraphy, and glass has become their favorite material. Perrin & Perrin is represented by Galerie Negropontes, located in Paris. I would love to see these pieces in person so that I could walk around them and see them from different angles.

Jill Bokor, the Executive Director of Salon Art + Design explains, “after a highly successful, though smaller, fair in 2021, we look forward to the return of many of the international galleries who were unable to participate because of the pandemic. This year, galleries from the UK, France, Sweden and China will return, joined by newcomers from Los Angeles, Texas, Egypt, France and New York. The market for collectible design has remained strong and new works are eagerly sought by collectors, so Salon Art + Design is excited to showcase new, previously unseen material.”

I realize that this November fair is still a few months away, and I’ll follow up with more information as we get closer to the dates of the exhibition.

EVENTS

SALON ART + DESIGN

Salon Art + Design produced by Sanford Smith + Associates, presents the world’s best design – vintage, modern and contemporary 20th century art, featuring leading art and design galleries from all over the world and spotlighting trends of collectible design. The success of the Salon lies in the quality of its exhibiting galleries, the extremely international flavor of the material and an eclecticism that is highly sought by today’s collectors and taste-makers. Salon encourages dealers to present ‘immersive environments’ combining art and design. The concept for this year’s event is ‘lean and mean’. Dealers will be coming in from as far away as Lebanon and from as nearby as midtown Manhattan.

The Salon’s inclusivity and willingness to consider both fine and decorative art in the context of contemporary life is predicated on the belief that today, more than ever, designers and collectors create environments rather than collect objects.

This Fall

Highlights include grand retrospectives of Alex Katz and Wolfgang Tillmans, a titanic assembly of van Gogh and a celebration of the pioneering Just Above Midtown gallery.

After two and a half tumultuous years, the art world is finally catching its breath. There are plenty of exciting objects on the move this season Aboriginal bark paintings, pre-Revolutionary French fashion magazines, must-see exhibits of African sculpture and Korean modernism. There’s some shiny new real estate, too, including an updated campus for the Orange County Museum of Art and the brand-new Rubell Museum in Washington, D.C.

But the overall mood this fall tends toward surveys of well-established artists, like Alex Katz at the Guggenheim; reliable 19th- or 20th-century blockbusters, like van Gogh in Detroit or Matisse in Philadelphia; and bequests, like a major promised gift from John Waters to the Baltimore Museum of Art, where, at the boundary-pushing filmmaker’s insistence, you can now visit the all-gender “John Waters Restrooms.” What follows is a list of highlights.

ARTS & LEISURE

An article this weekend on Page 96 about this season’s art shows and exhibitions misstates some of the works that will be shown in an exhibition of the Ronald S. Lauder collection at the Neue Galerie. It will include Greek antiquities and Medieval art, not pieces by Cézanne. The article also misstates which edition of the Salon Art + Design fair will be held at the Park Avenue Armory. It will be the 11th edition, not the 10th. It also misstates the number of galleries expected at Art Basel Miami Beach. It is more than 250, not more than 700. The article also contains an outdated title for a show at the International Center of Photography. It is “Close Enough: New Perspectives From 12 Women Photographers of Magnum,” not “The Practice of Relativity.”

Hanging with Jill Bokor

As executive director of Salon Art + Design for the last 11 years, and a magazine editor and publisher for over 20 years before that, Jill Bokor has enjoyed many chapters in her life—professionally, personally, and in what she collects.

A native New Yorker, Jill is currently going through a total renovation of her house on the Upper West Side. She surrounds herself with objects that exude “serenity and comfort,” and although she loves contemporary design, a nod to Classicism is essential.

Stackabl system connects designers with manufacturing waste

Sometimes upcycling is as easy as hitting the second-hand store or even your own wood cutoff pile. But when it comes to connecting designers of all levels with castoff materials from manufacturers, the process becomes more involved. Stackabl has developed a system to do exactly that.

In conjunction with its New York-based showroom partner, Maison Gerard, Stackabl is driving a creative use bus that stops at the intersection of design and available resources.

https://inhabitat.com/stackabl-system-connects-designers-with-manufacturing-waste/

The brainchild of Canadian design studio Stacklab, the system of algorithms and robotics is technical in nature, yet meant to make material recycling easier. Here’s how it works. Designers at any level access the system and use the interactive tool to create furniture or lighting designs. Users can choose from chairs, beds, and different styles of light fixtures. Then the creativity begins with the selection of material colors, patterns, and sizes. The program is also easy to use and shows changes in real-time on the design portal.

Furthermore, the materials offered on the program are manufacturing excess. Inventory is selected based on what manufacturers report is available. The remnant inventory is then earmarked for the project and the factory puts together your design. Moreover, the process means that design and manufacturing are done at a regional level for a low environmental impact.

https://inhabitat.com/stackabl-system-connects-designers-with-manufacturing-waste/

The company describes it like this: “A simple online configurator seamlessly integrates the designer into this process. Proprietary and patent-pending, the Stackabl configurator, with its easy-to-use interface, allows users to turn high quality Merino felt offcuts into custom furniture according to their choices, from colours and patterns, to dimensions and densities. Real-time visualizations in 2D and 3D, as well as instant pricing feedback, make for an intuitive and transparent experience that frees the imagination and opens doors to a world of possibilities.”

Several designers, including Champalimaud Design, Frampton Co, Laura Kirar Design, Drake/Anderson, Georgis & Mirgorodsky and Benoist F. Drut produced pieces that were then featured at Salon Art + Design in New York November 2021. The collection also won a Green Good Design Award as well as an AZ Award.

For more than a decade, Salon Art + Design has evolved into the choice platform for exhibiting, experiencing, collecting, and discussing design and art. A high point of New York’s Fall arts calendar, the fair will continue to captivate its audience with a robust international exhibitor list, special exhibitions and the return of in-person programming including exclusive talks and panel discussions.

Salon Art + Design has continued to differentiate itself from other fairs by including a highly curated mixture of historic and contemporary collectible design and fine art. Just as top interior designers create eclectic homes for discerning clients, Salon Art + Design exhibitors are encouraged to create immersive environments mirroring the way we live today.

“After a highly successful, though smaller, fair in 2021, we look forward to the return of many of the international galleries who were unable to participate because of the pandemic,” says Jill Bokor, Executive Director of Salon Art + Design. “This year galleries from the UK, France, Sweden and China will return, joined by newcomers from Los Angeles, Texas, Egypt, France and New York. The market for collectible design has remained strong and new works are eagerly sought by collectors, so Salon is excited to showcase new, previously unseen material.

This November, Salon Art + Design welcomes back a highly international mix of exhibitors, many of whom were unable to attend last year due to international travel restrictions. These exhibitors will present an eclectic range that spans everything from European fine art and design to oceanic art. For the first time since its inception, Salon

is welcoming a gallery from Egypt, Le Lab Atelier, who will show cutting-edge contemporary Middle Eastern design. Many of the fair’s core exhibitors, who have participated in the fair throughout its duration, will return including Galerie Chastel-Marechal, Friedman Benda, Maison Gerard, Moderne, R + Company and Vallois.

Through its unmatched reputation, Salon Art + Design continues to attract new exhibitors from around the world and is proud to welcome newcomers including Armel Soyer, Boccara Gallery, Galerie Artempo, Galerie Carole Decombe, Galerie SCENE OUVERTE, Galerie Yves Gastou, GARDE, Le Lab Atelier and Mindy Solomon Gallery. More recently, Salon Art + Design has been recognized for its innovative programming as seen through innovative exhibitions and installations in the historic rooms at the entrance of the Park Avenue Armory that transcend the gallery booth. Visitors may also expect to have access to intimate events within the fair and exclusive, site-specific commissions.

Salon Art + Design is also pleased to announce the third issue of Intersection Magazine, the fair’s luxurious print publication that will be sent to Salon’s very influential list of VIP’s, collector and designers. Produced in conjunction with Cultureshock Media, known for their outstanding publications by such entities as Sotheby’s, The Tate and the V&A, the magazine is slated to publish mid-October.

Salon Art + Design

Две первые сессии определялись сотрудничеством с французской ассоциацией антикваров Syndicat National des Antiquaires (SNA). В то время мы наблюдали активное участие французских дилеров. И хотя многие из них до сих пор выставляются у нас, с годами мы стали гораздо более интернациональными: выставка 2022 года собрала галереи из 13 стран Кроме того за исключением двух дилеров древнего искусства, наша временная шкала простирается теперь от 1890 года до настоящего времени с постоянно растущим числом галерей, торгующих исключительно произведениями современных авторов. Мы как выставочная институция пережили два напряженных года В 2020 году событие отменили, а в 2021-м пришлось его делать за три с половиной месяца вместо привычных девяти. Прошлогодняя ярмарка была, по большей части, посвящена американским фирмам, поскольку целый ряд международных галерей ждали снятия ограничений на перемещение Любопытно, что многие из наших дилеров процветали во время пандемии Они продали через интернет больше, чем когда-либо прежде, и, что неудивительно, продолжают делать это до сих пор. Мы связываем это с тем, что люди месяцами проводили время в интерьерах и решили внести изменения в свой образ жизни Одни переехали в новые дома, другие все отремонтировали, третьи просто захотели большего комфорта. Конечно, мне непросто быть объективной: я считаю, что ярмарки, тем не менее, остаются лучшей и самой привлекательной площадкой. Где еще вы встретите тысячи заинтересованных людей в течение нескольких дней?

Salon set for sizeable 2022 staging in New York

Salon Art + Design puts the emphasis on the eclectic nature of its offering, bringing together vintage, modern and contemporary design and setting it against 20th century art.

Jill Bokor, executive director, says: “After a highly successful, though smaller, fair in 2021, we look forward to the return of many of the international galleries who were unable to participate because of the pandemic.

Design weeks have mushroomed in cities all over the world in the past decade. One particularly trailblazing example is the London Design Festival (LDF), which celebrated its 20th anniversary in September. And a destination that is growing in prominence and prestige is Singapore Design Week (SDW), also held last month.

Founded in 2014, the latter returned this year after a two-year hiatus imposed by the pandemic. Although it displays designs produced by international brands, visitors from the west are most likely to be drawn to Singaporean design. SDW also provides an opportunity to see design from Southeast Asia as a whole.

Sustainability came high on SDW’s agenda this year, which might surprise first-time visitors confronted by the city’s skyline of futuristic skyscrapers. Yet vegetation peeps out of roofs, balconies and walls everywhere, a manifestation of the Singaporean government’s long-held commitment to greening the city and endorsement of biophilic design principals and environmentalism.

Another hot topic at SDW was socially responsible design, explored at its design symposium Agency for the Future: Design and the Quest for a Better World. Its international roster of speakers included British architect Thomas Heatherwick, who designed Singapore’s 22-storey residential tower Eden that incorporates a vertical forest.

Asked what makes SDW unique, festival director Mark Wee told Effect: “We want to contribute to the global conversation about design via our symposium and spotlight our journey of self-sufficiency – how this could be useful for the design community generally. Debuting this year is FIND – Design Fair Asia, a new design fair that spotlights the Asian market for design, which no one else is doing.”

Recycling/ upcycling

One of SDW’s main draws was the Emerge exhibition at FIND, which partnered with Fiera Milano, home of Milan’s Salone del Mobile fair. This displayed work by over 60 designers from Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Vietnam and Thailand. “Emerge’s focus is on Southeast Asia, a part of the continent that is rarely acknowledged, let alone applauded, for its design,” says curator Suzy Annetta, editor-in-chief of Asia-based magazine Design Anthology. Emerge’s key theme was materials used in unexpectedly innovative ways – from bamboo, silk, ceramics and resin to others derived from normally overlooked waste matter, from reprocessed cow dung to used cigarette butts, the latter transformed into surprisingly good-looking products.

Eye-catching pieces included a white and orange Mel lounge chair, made of polypropylene rope wound around aluminium frames by Thailand-based designer Sarunphon Boonto of design brand Mooque. Thomas Binh-Minh Vincent of Elek in Vietnam showed his tables whose frames cradled trays cleverly made of the woven bamboo steamers used to cook and serve dim sum.

https://magazine.thebrunoeffect.com/5-emerging-trends-at-this-seasons-design-fairs/

Singaporean design was given an airing at LDF at the show R is for Repair: London x Singapore, co-curated by Singapore’s Hans Tan Studio and LDF stalwart curator Jane Withers. The show, held at the Victoria & Albert Museum, exhibited pieces – originally broken household items – submitted to the general public then repaired and given a new lease of life by designers. A standout piece was an old sewing chest whose fragmented components were assembled by Rio Kobayashi into a glass-topped table.

A new nesting instinct

A major concern at LDF was a yearning for domestic comfort. At its Brompton district in South Kensington, Withers curated the show Make Yourself at Home, inspired by the idea of home as a haven in our turbulent times. This comprised several exhibitions, including Two Kettles, No Sofa that imagined a scenario where a couple, moving in together, have to reconcile their differences in taste for design. Brainchild of designer James Shaw and writer Lou Stoppard, it consisted of Shaw’s idiosyncratic chairs, desks and beds, including his Plastic Baroque chairs made of extruded high-density polyethylene plastic that resembles piped icing sugar.

https://magazine.thebrunoeffect.com/5-emerging-trends-at-this-seasons-design-fairs/

In Clerkenwell, gallery Viaduct showed the work of Belgian design duo Muller Van Severen, whose furniture has an invitingly domestic quality, not least their classic Red Duo Seat, amalgamating two chairs and a floor lamp. Also reflecting this nesting instinct is Decorex Diningscapes, which will be a major feature at October interiors fair Decorex, held in Olympia, London. This will showcase table-settings in several styles by such designers as Christian Bense and Les Ottomans. “Our diningscape feature was born through the continuing trend for tablescaping and a desire to create an experience around the dinner table,” says its events director Sam Fisher. “The trend is aligned to people wanting to create an experience in their home for family and friends to enjoy – and to a rise in beautiful tableware.”

Glass alchemy

Glass came to the fore at LDF and Salon Art + Design in New York City. Canadian designer Omer Arbel, founder of design and research studio Bocci, took over the John Madejski Garden at the V&A with an eight-day demonstration of glass-blowing. This saw him take copper and glass antique pieces sourced from flea markets and vintage stores and transform them into intriguing iridescent objects.

This highlighted a new trend at fairs – the public’s thirst for a performative presentation of design as an alternative to showing static objects. Otherwise, designers are capitalising on the spectacular effects of glass. Take the new glass and metal pieces of Klove, which will be unveiled at Salon Art + Design in November. Prateek Jain and Gautam Seth of the New Delhi-based duo will present their spectacular Totems of Time collection of hand-crafted lighting that draws inspiration from Art Deco-era design in India as well as motifs evoking ancient civilisations.

Celebrating craftsmanship

The trend for design shown in a performative way promises to be a key attraction at Decorex, too. Its Upstairs at Decorex sideshow will include a Making Spaces section, where craftspeople will demonstrate the specialist skills involved in making their products, including Nat Maks’ dexterous mastery of the ancient Japanese art of suminagashi when making her covetable marbled papers and designer Ellen Merchant’s method of making her hand-drawn wallpapers and fabrics with an Arts and Crafts vibe.

Design and the metaverse

Design and technology might not seem likely bedfellows, yet design has embraced technological advances in the past – from designers seizing on the advantages of using foam or injection-moulded plastic in the 1960s to exploiting the efficiency of rapid prototyping in the 21st century. Now, the design world is investigating the possibilities of meta realities. The approach to this is immersive (in the style of many art installations in recent years).

At LDF, Sony Design invited visitors to explore new meta realities and walk through a life-sized installation, with sensors detecting human movement triggering changes in colour, light and sound with the aim of sharpening people’s awareness of visual and aural sensations. And The Conran Shop, in conjunction with It’s Nice That, an online platform for creatives, presented the show Meet Me in the Metaverse (header image), where design buffs encountered virtual representations of design classics envisioned by artists. Visitors entered a blacked-out environment illuminated only by screens aglow with these images of virtual must-haves.

and Tara Sakhi: I Hear

Tremble Glass Is Tomorrow

You

The multidisciplinary architecture and design studio T Sakhi present a series of fifteen new sculptural vases made with metal waste and Murano glass.

The multidisciplinary architecture and design studio T Sakhi present a series of fifteen new sculptural vases made with metal waste and Murano glass. Unveiled at the Italian Glass Week in Venice in late September, the vessels are the result of three-years of research and experimentation in using waste metal from factories around the island of Murano.

The fifteen unique vessels titled Jurat (meaning urns in Arabic) were installed in the San Gallo Church in Venice, an intimate 16th century church near San Marco, in an exhibition titled “I Hear You Tremble.” Entering into the dimly lit church the installation of vases on pedestals and on the ground, some nestled into sand on the

floor, evoked a sense of uncovering a lost treasure from centuries past. The vessels seem ancient, mysterious in their opaque surfaces that filter the light. Their “lava stone-like” textures that call to mind traditional Phoenician glass blowing techniques, a source of inspiration for the designers, along with other ancient forms of glass making found across the Mediterranean. Heightening the mood, the exhibition incorporates a light installation inspired by light infiltration, water vibrations and reflections of the Venetian lagoon, creating a sensory shift between light and shadow. While the vessels embrace their ancient heritage, the technique and details of each piece are thinking of the future, offering an exciting approach to glass making that involves recycled materials and innovative ideas.

Craftsmanship has always been an essential component to the designer’s practice. Whether glass in Venice, metal and wood in Lebanon, textiles in Mexico or stone in Egypt, they tap into the rich cultural heritages of these people and places to create beautiful yet deeply meaningful objects and spaces.

The designers are also known for their focus on sustainability through recuperating waste and working with recycled materials. For Jurat, they infused the glass with various types of metal waste including brass, copper and aluminum to create the otherworld surface patterns. “We want to provoke curiosity and stimulate the sense of touch and emotion through our work. We often experiment with raw materials and seek to decompose them by testing their strength and limits. This process makes our designs evolve spontaneously during execution, embracing surprises and accidents along the way. The techniques aspire a creation associated with chaos and form, randomness and precision, spirit and matter and finally, natural vs man-made interventions.,” say Tessa and Tara Sakhi.

https://tlmagazine.com/tessa-and-tara-sakhi-i-hear-you-tremble/

The exhibition is organized in partnership with Le Lab, a new collectible design gallery founded by Egyptian Art and Design collector Rasheed Al Kamel dedicated to promoting the most prominent regional Middle Eastern artists and designers.

“I Hear You Tremble”, is on view through October 14, 2022. Jurat will also be exhibited in Le Lab’s group presentation at Salon Art + Design in New York, November 10 to 14 2022.

Lauren Adriana to Present Her Exclusive Jewelry Collection at Salon Art + Design Exhibit

Learning about jewelry from books and museums, she later completed her Jewelry Design degree at London’s Central Saint Martins art college, opening an exclusive jewelry atelier with her husband in 2012.

Adriana’s aesthetic takes a bold graphic approach, highlighting the stones and often using an optical effect to create a three-dimensional impression as the wearer moves.

She calls herself a “traditionalist,” however, because she’s drawn to classic precious metals and stones.

“The talismanic quality of these materials and their pedigree makes them so wonderful to work with and explore,” she says in an interview with Magnifissance.

Adriana spends months sourcing unheated, natural sapphires, rubies, and spinels of the most vibrant colors.

https://magnifissance.com/fashion/jewellery-watch/exclusive-jewelry/

High-level craftsmanship is also of essential importance. Adriana’s exclusive jewelry pieces are made in Geneva, Switzerland, where artisans spend hundreds of hours working on a single piece.

“I select every stone myself and create a drawing that plots the placement of each small gemstone within a jewel. This [process] is unbelievably time-consuming, but it allows me total control over the colors used, similar to how a painter would mix paint,” Adriana says.

Fall 2022 brings a new milestone for the artist, with the opportunity to display her limited-edition collection at the prestigious Salon Art + Design exhibition, taking place at the Park Avenue Armory in New York City from November 10-14, 2022.

Adriana is presenting an exclusive jewelry collection of diamond-like carbon pieces featuring an ultra-black, highshine nanocoating of black diamond, a process that originated in the watch industry.

https://magnifissance.com/fashion/jewellery-watch/exclusive-jewelry/

“It’s a process that I’ve been working with for six years now. I was the first fine jeweler to incorporate it,” Adriana says. “It’s hard wearing and looks incredible when used alongside traditional diamonds.”

In addition to exhibiting at Salon Art + Design, next year will also see the launch of a special limited edition collection by the designer, who will be celebrating the 10th anniversary of her namesake brand.

“This is something I’ve never done before as normally all my work is one-off, and I’m excited to share what I’ve been working on with people,” Adriana says.

GLOBAL ENTRY

SEE SOUND OFF

MONTREAL

A new exhibition at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts shows the influence of music on one of the seminal artists of the 20th century, Jean-Michel Basquiat. Co-curated with the Cité de la Musique–Philharmonie de Paris, Seeing Loud: Basquiat and Music (through February 19, 2023) connects Basquiat’s musical explorations— from his experimental band Gray to his DJ sets—and his artistic evolution. “More than just a soundtrack, music had an impact on his art,” says Mary-Dailey Desmarais, the museum’s chief curator. “Like hip-hop artists, he sampled his own

works, and he evoked a kind of call and response he took from jazz. He identified with Black musicians as icons and real contributors to American culture, while acknowledging the racism they regularly faced.”

The 100 works on view include 1982’s Anybody SpeakingWords, which depicts an open-mouthed figure against a vivid yellow backdrop handlettered with the repeating word opera. “You can almost hear that painting,” Desmarais notes. Also on view: a reconstruction of a handmade instrument—a shopping cart attached to a motor—on which Basquiat performed with his band at gallerist Leo Castelli’s 1980 birthday party. mbam.qc.ca

EAT KITH & KILN

SYDNEY

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 20 th century art from 52 international exhibitors.

“We are thrilled to be welcoming

An open, sleek oor plan allows the ne art and objects of design to shine.

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.

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.”

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.

Industry brands continue to unveil in - stock pr ograms

Supply chain troubles continue to wreak havoc on the industry, but savvy brands are helping to counter these disruptions by forming convenient in-stock programs that get furniture to designers faster. Take Roll & Hill: Known for its made-to-order creations, the furniture and lighting manufacturer has assembled numerous quickship pieces to meet the immediate needs of clients, including Jonah Takagi’s industrial mint- and red-hued Bluff City pendant and Jason Miller’s Gothic-style hard maple Lexington table.

Likewise, Hollywood at Home, the LA go-to for glam decor and vintage finds, has come to the rescue with its ShopStock initiative. Items that typically require a 12- to 14-week lead time, like Emilio Thierry’s sculptural plaster rock console table or the skirted Cole armchairs, can now be purchased directly off the showroom floor and online.

Salon Art + Design taps Amy Lau to cura te a special exhibition

New York’s annual Salon Art + Design fair is renowned for its pristine presentations of collectible design and bluechip art from prominent galleries. But when the show asked Amy Lau to curate a special exhibition to display beneath one of Park Avenue Armory’s grand staircases, the designer had something less graceful, more rigid and raw in mind. The resulting Beauty of Brutalism exhibition, featuring the works of James Bearden, Albano Poli for Poliarte, and Jules Dewaele for Pia Manu, among others, will be on view during the fair’s run, from November 10–14.

When we think of the salon, we think sophistication, erudition, and wit. We think 16th-century Italy, and 17th- and 18th-century France. We may also think of New York City the Algonquin Round Table in the 1920s, the Partisan Review intellectuals in the 40s, 50s, and 60s. In the spirit of the salon, we have the annual fair Salon Art + Design, which this year brings 51 international exhibitors to the Park Avenue Armory. A newcomer to the fair is Le Lab Atelier, from Egypt, which shows Middle Eastern design like you’ve never seen it before. Eclectic and rigorously curated, Salon Art + Design encourages its exhibiting galleries to present their prize pieces in immersive and inspiring settings. E.C.

Refractory Studio Bringing Work to Salon Art + Design in New York City

Refractory is bringing collectible works to Salon Art + Design in New York City from Nov. 10-14. The studio will introduce visitors to furniture, lighting and objects inspired by terrain and frontier. The space will also serve as an introduction for Refractory’s new chair collection, Holotype.

The Holotype series comprises a lounge and dining chair first shared at Alcova - the studio’s international debut during Milan Design Week in the summer of 2022. The 3,000-square-foot installation incorporated mixed media, time-lapse video, sound, a thousand pounds of turmeric, and digitally printed chiffon pieces from a collaborative expression of photographic work.

On Display at the event will be the Holotype Chair – of solid oak, the Salon Scimitar Table – made of cast bronze and solid oak, and the Heretofore Sconce – a cast bronze vessel, the two of which will be making their debut.

new-york-city

Now in its 11th edition, Salon Art + Design is known for presenting the modern and contemporary designs from all over the world. Each year, the fair curates an ensemble of work that captures the latest in collectible design, leading it to become the platform for exhibiting, experiencing, collecting, and discussing design and art.

Angie West, co-founder of Refractory, offered, “It is an honor to be presenting our work alongside such trailblazing galleries, artists, and studios from around the world. This quiet corner space in the Armory that we will occupy for a week will be such a gift to us and our evolution as a studio, and we are grateful and humbled by the opportunity.”

West continued, “We experienced such a meaningful connection with thousands of visitors at Alcova in Milan this summer and hope to bridge that experience here at home. It will be an understated and straightforward expression of our work.”

Born from the spirit of the frontier, and at times more specifically the American West, Refractory is the offering of two design industry veterans - Angie West and Alberto Vélez. The brand softly launched its inaugural 40+ piece series in the Fall of 2021, while adding new works throughout 2022.

Their portfolio includes one-of-a-kind offerings of consoles, dining tables, occasional tables, benches, lighting, and objects rendered from cast bronze, cast glass, solid black walnut, white oak and cast resin.

The Refractory atelier and West Supply offer artisans and master craftspeople a space to experiment and create alongside other masters of craft – and be the magic behind some of the world's most enduring works in these materialities.

SALON ART + DESIGN

Salon Art + Design produced by Sanford Smith + Associates, presents the world’s best design – vintage, modern and contemporary 20th century art, featuring leading art and design galleries from all over the world and spotlighting trends of collectible design. The success of the Salon lies in the quality of its exhibiting galleries, the extremely international flavor of the material and an eclecticism that is highly sought by today’s collectors and taste-makers. Salon encourages dealers to present ‘immersive environments’ combining art and design. The concept for this year’s event is ‘lean and mean’. Dealers will be coming in from as far away as Lebanon and from as nearby as midtown Manhattan.

https://www.designpataki.com/events/salon-art-design/

The Salon’s inclusivity and willingness to consider both fine and decorative art in the context of contemporary life is predicated on the belief that today, more than ever, designers and collectors create environments rather than collect objects.

Wilensky Rocks Out At Salon Art + Design 2022

There will be a few opportunities to see some extraordinary jewels at the next edition of Salon Art + Design, the prestigious decorative arts fair taking place in New York City Nov. 10–14, including those from Lauren Adriana, Yvel, and Ornamentum gallery.

If you’re planning a visit, Wilensky Exquisite Minerals, a newcomer to the show, should also be on your go-see list. The NYC gallery will be debuting a new exhibition of mineral specimens that any jewelry aficionado will appreciate and welcome into their homes as compelling interior design objects.

Entitled Candy, it gathers luscious examples of butterscotch-hued anglesite, cherry-red rhodonite, a rainbow of stripy tourmaline, and more to explore how “humans gravitate toward the brilliance, color, and beauty of stones in the sunlight” and “are powerless against beauty,” according to the gallery notes, which further posit that “understanding beauty needs no explanation. It is a spontaneous discovery that rises within us.”

Though Wilensky has been dealing in fine minerals for 40 years, it opened its Chelsea gallery just five years ago with a clear focus: to exhibit decorative minerals and crystals in a gallery setting, treating them as works of art. “When we were presented with the opportunity to exhibit at Salon Art + Design, it felt like a logical next step, yet another opportunity to show the artistic side of what we do,” company president Stuart Wilensky tells JCK. “Throughout history crystals have influenced art, design, and architecture. As mineral dealers, we express the beauty and sculptural qualities that these natural objects possess.”

https://www.jckonline.com/editorial-article/wilensky-salon-art-design-2022/

here’s no question that mineral specimens are a well-established trend, and many jewelers have been exploring the category as a way to diversify their assortment with adornments for the home for lovers of gem and jewelry.

As such, Wilensky has some advice for retailers dipping a toe into this territory for the first time: “Minerals have a steep learning curve, and I always suggest the same process to all who would like to begin collecting and/or dealing. Find an experienced dealer who you connect with, who you trust and has integrity. They will be your most important resource. Spend as much time learning from them, as well as from books, museum collections, and fellow collectors. Knowledge is everything. I am not talking about the science of minerals or geology. You must know what is possible, what are the very finest known examples, where they are and what criteria to use when judging a specimen.”

Clearly he and his team can help with that, especially when the Tucson Gem Show rolls around early next year. You won’t find them at Pueblo Gem Show tents per se, but “during our weeks in Tucson we will meet with dozens of sources from virtually every continent to find the very few most spectacular and significant mineral specimens,” says Wilensky.

Wilensky allows that the Tucson Gem Show has become the largest commercial venue in the world for minerals and gems. “But it is not easily accessible to the retail buyer or advanced collector. The shows are very lengthy, some run as long as several weeks. Tucson has become an unwieldy event that only the most dedicated, intrepid individuals can endure.”

Which may be why the Wilensky gallery has plans to open a satellite showroom within a new multi-dealer venue in downtown Tucson that will be open in February 2023. While open only during the gem show’s duration, it will service the public as well as dealers and retailers.

“We view our role in Tucson as a filter, sifting through not hundreds, but thousands of specimens, to discover the one piece that has the qualities our clients seek,” says Wilensky.

And if you can’t wait till Tucson, the Candy at Salon Art + Design may be enough to tempt you in the meantime.

National Treasure

The Rubell Museum DC is the District’s

new hot spot for contemporary art

Washington, D.C., has more than its share of museums, and, befitting the nation’s capital, many of these institutions seek to encompass the American experience. The latest entry in the city’s arts scene, the Rubell Museum DC, also casts a wide-angle lens on the country, but it does so in a contemporary, community-oriented way.

The museum, which opened at the end of October as an outgrowth of Miami’s Rubell Museum, draws from the Rubell family’s renowned collection, a trove of works from contemporary artists such as Kara Walker, Kehinde Wiley, and Yayoi Kusama. The D.C. branch, however, isn’t located where one might expect, among the palaces on the National Mall; instead it’s in Southwest D.C., in a 1906 building that was once the majority-Black Randall Junior High School.

this neighborhood landmark back to life and expand access to our collection by weaving it into the very fabric of a community,” says museum cofounder Mera Rubell. “The building’s preservation and our programming aims to honor the legacy of the Randall School community—something that resonates with me as a former teacher.”

Rubell worked with Head Start in New York City in the 1960s, and her new institution should certainly get a

head start from its inaugural exhibition. What’s Going On , named for the 1971 album by Randall Junior High graduate Marvin Gaye, features pieces from 37 artists who are tackling social issues, much as Gaye did on his most political record. Chief among these is Untitled (Against All Odds), a series of 20 works by Keith Haring that appears at the start of the exhibit and addresses themes, Rubell says, of “environmental destruction, oppression, and illness.” In

fact, she adds, Haring listened to What’s Going On “on repeat” during the creation of the series. One might say that these paintings, along with the rest of the exhibit, are finding a way to bring some understanding here today.

“Our family considers it a tremendous privilege to bring our personal collection to the nation’s capital,” Rubell says. “We are looking forward to the opportunity to contribute our perspective to the city’s cultural conversation.”

Heading to New York City rather than D.C. this month? Be sure to visit Salon Art + Design , which takes place November 10–14 at the Park Avenue Armory. The art and design fair, produced by Sanford L. Smith + Associates, features 52 exhibitors from around the world, offering Art Deco furniture from Paris’s Galerie Vallois, contemporary Scandinavian decorations from Stockholm’s Modernity, lighting fixtures from New Delhi’s Klove Studio, carved pieces from Egypt’s Le Lab, and more. The best part is that if you see something you like, you might be able to bring it home. “One of the great differences between Salon and typical art shows is that our pricing is much more accessible,” says Jill Bokor, the fair’s executive director. “We encourage our exhibitors to show material in a wide range of prices, and there are always items for the beginning collector.”

Around the Galleries Asian Art in London

This bumper edition of the annual event continues to demonstrate the capital’s strength in this field, writes

This is the 25th edition of Asian Art in London (AAL), an initiative designed to highlight the riches of this market in the UK capital. It is also the first to which international dealers (and visitors) have been able to travel without restriction since the pandemic. Accordingly, this is something of a bumper edition, with 48 participants, including a number of new exhibitors, and two initiatives intended to pave the ground for the next generation of dealers and collectors in this field: a new category for ‘Emerging Dealers and Galleries’, and a focus on works priced at under £5,000. The event retains its two-part format this year. With the launch events for Islamic and Indian art concluded (20–29 October), the spotlight turns again to art from East and South East Asia (27 October–5 November).

It is notable how many of the gallery presentations focus on modern and contemporary work – an indication of how this market in London has changed over the past quarter century. Raquelle Azran’s display of Vietnamese art stretches from the 1920s to the present;

Jar, Yuan dynasty (1271–1368), China, porcelain, ht 27.5cm. Eskenazi at Asian Art in London

Alisan Fine Arts presents work by seven contemporary Chinese ink artists, while Michael Goedhuis has a display that shows how the tradition of ink art in China and Japan continues to influence artists from both countries.

A highlight comes at Kamal Bakhshi Modern Asian Art, with an exhibition of works by the late Toko Shinoda. The boldness and variety of the Japanese master calligrapher’s abstract sumi ink paintings and prints captivated audiences in New York during her two-year stay in the United States in the 1950s, before she returned to find acclaim in her native country. Shinoda died last year at the age of 107 and since then major surveys have been held at the Tokyo Opera City Art Gallery and the Musée Tomo, Tokyo; this is a rare chance to see a wide range of her work in the UK.

More traditional fare is on offer at Japan House, where ‘The Art of Collecting: Japan’ brings together nine dealers – among them Rosemary Bandini and, from Paris, Tsukimi Gallery – for a group display of Japanese objets d’art. Meanwhile, at Eskenazi, five works from a prominent private collection go on

display, including a remarkable blue-andwhite porcelain jar made in Yuan dynasty China (1271–1368; Fig. 1) and Marchant hosts a show of Chinese ceramics from the Tang and Song dynasties. At Jorge Welsh is a display of 17th–18th century okimono – small, decorative porcelain figures made for the export market, including some rather colourful tigers.

Beyond the gallery shows, this has always been a moment for the auction houses to bring out the best of their consignments in this field. Sotheby’s offers a pair of exceptionally detailed Qing dynasty lacquer screens, while Bonhams has an appealing set of gold-andsilver inlaid bronze tapirs from the 17th/18th century. Look out, too, for sales at Chiswick Auctions featuring an ornate cloisonné enamel Ming dish, adorned with lotus-pond motifs, and at Lyon & Turnbull, where the highlight is a two-metre-high Qing dynasty ink painting depicting Shoulao, the god of longevity. o

Asian Art in London takes place until 5 November at venues around London (asianartinlondon.com).

Gallery highlights Fairs in focus

Goyo and His Contemporaries

3 November–22 December

Ronin Gallery, New York

Goyo Hashiguchi’s career lasted all of 15 years, but in that time he earned fame for the technical accomplishment of his woodblock prints, in step with the Shin Hanga (‘new print’) movement at the turn of the 20th century in Tokyo. He produced only 14 prints before his death at 41; this show includes them all, as well as the work of contemporaries and followers also renowned for the intimacy of their bijin-ga (pictures of beautiful women).

Alicja Kwade: Petrichor

15 November–17 December 303 Gallery, New York

The Berlin-based artist’s first New York show since her commission in 2019 for the Met’s Roof Garden continues her experiments with the systems we use to categorise time and space – and their inadequacy in the face of experience. This large-scale installation incorporates mobiles made of natural stones, arranged like orbiting planets, and her Schusslöcher (‘bullet holes’) works on cardboard, exploring the tendency of systems towards entropy.

Hedda Sterne: Metamorphoses

5 November–10 December

Victoria Miro, Venice

Hedda Sterne was part of Bucharest’s Dada community in the 1920s, she forged links with Surrealists in Vienna and Paris and, after fleeing Romania for the United States in 1941, she became a member of the New York School. Sterne continued to experiment with the material qualities of paint and the expression of nature through abstraction until her death in 2011; this is her first solo show since Victoria Miro took on her estate earlier this year.

Matthew Krishanu: Playground

10 November–14 January 2023

Niru Ratnam, London

Krishanu’s parents, a white British father and Bengali Indian mother, moved to Dhaka in 1981, and spent the next 11 years working for the Church of Bangladesh. His paintings, shown to acclaim in the Hayward’s ‘Mixing it Up’ show last year, are mainly based on family photographs from these years – the title image of his second solo show in London, Playground (Fig. 2), powerfully represents his ambivalent feelings about his upbringing.

Antica Namur 19–27 November Namur Expo

A must for aficionados of Belgian art and antiques, Antica Namur returns this month for its 45th edition at the Namur Expo, on the banks of the Meuse. Among the fine and decorative arts on offer, highlights include a fine genre painting, Opportunity Makes a Thief, by the 19th-century artist Charles Joseph Grips, and a remarkable collection of ornate walking sticks at Antwerp-based dealers Stein & Cedric Moermans.

Salon Art + Design

10–14 November Park Avenue Armory, New York

For its 12th edition, this eclectic fair returns to the Park Avenue Armory with 51 exhibitors, who offer a range of antique, modern and contemporary decorative arts from around the world, with a scattering of painting and sculptures. Newcomers include Le LAB, an experimental atelier of six contemporary Egyptian designers. More traditional fare is found at the booth of Throckmorton, which offers Pre-Columbian antiquities.

MATERIAL NEVER SEEN BEFORE IS SET TO BE REVEALED

For 2022, the fair welcomes back a highly international mix of exhibitors, many of whom were unable to attend 2021 due to travel restrictions. Eclectic range of works span from European to oceanic fine art and design, while material never seen before is set to be revealed. For the first time since its inception, Salon Art + Design is opening its doors to a gallery from Egypt, Le Lab Atelier, who are showing cutting-edge contemporary Middle Eastern pieces.

‘After a highly successful, though smaller, fair in 2021, we look forward to the return of many of the international galleries who were unable to participate because of the pandemic. This year galleries from the UK, France, Sweden and China will return, joined by newcomers from Los Angeles, Texas, Egypt, France and New York. The market for collectible design has remained strong and new works are eagerly sought by collectors, so Salon is excited to showcase new, previously unseen material,’ says Jill Bokor, Executive Director of Salon Art + Design.

The 11th edition of Salon Art + Design, the collectible design and art fair, will be held at the Park Avenue Armory in New York from November 10 – 14 with 52 exhibiting galleries and 11 “special partners,” designers and artists who will be exhibiting in individual rooms of the historic Armory. Among the exhibitors of art and design are two independent jewelry designers, two galleries featuring contemporary and 20th century jewelry works, and an exhibition of natural mineral works.

Salon Art + Design specializes in vintage, modern and contemporary, and blue-chip 20th century art. Exhibitors are encouraged to create immersive environments mirroring the way people live today. The annual fair is produced by Sanford L. Smith + Associates.

The five jewelry and mineral exhibitors are:

The London-based jeweler creates a limited body of fine jewels. After graduating from Central Saint Martins art college, she founded the business with her husband Nicholas Briggs in 2012. Working together, they produce around 40 unique jewels each year. In 2018, Adriana opened her appointment only studio in Mayfair. Her works emphasize abstraction over naturalism, which sets her jewels apart and inspires the boldly graphic designs that are her signature.

Didier Ltd.

Didier and Martine Haspeslagh founded the London gallery specializing in jewelry made and designed by painters, sculptors, architects and designers from the late 19th to the end of the 20th century. These jewels have been acquired from the secondary art market and with the benefit of hindsight so that the pieces selected reflect the artists’ oeuvre in a medium unfamiliar to many of their followers. This niche has gained widespread acceptance in recent years. For example, in September, Sotheby’s held a selling exhibition of jewels created by many of these artists, titled, “Art as Jewelry as Art.” The gallery recently said it will be concentrating on jewelry by women artists who often started by making pieces for themselves, so that the jewelry they wore became an extension of their artistic persona.

IL SALONE DI ARTE E DESIGN

Torna a Park Avenue Armory la storica rassegna dedicata a dipinti, arredi e oggetti d’arte dall’archeologia ai giorni nostri. Di Laura Civinini

SOPRA: torso di divinità in marmo, epoca romana, II secolo a.C. (da Ariadne). A SINISTRA: “Allegoria del tempo”, arazzo di Claude Dodane per Aubusson, 1930, cm 350x270 (da Galerie Boccara). SOTTO: vaso “Bollicine” di Carlo Scarpa per Venini, 1934 (da Glass past).

Torna, dal 10 al 14 novembre, nella storica sede di Park Avenue Armory, Salon Art + Design, prodotto da Sanford L. Smith + Associates. La rassegna, che vede la partecipazione di una sessantina di gallerie da tutto il mondo, presenta arredi e oggetti di design vintage e moderno, accanto a opere d’arte contemporanea, reperti archeologici, arti primarie, gioielli, vetri, ceramiche e tappeti delle principali manifatture internazionali.

Mix eclettico. Il successo del Salone risiede nella qualità degli espositori, nel gusto internazionale degli oggetti esposti e in un eclettismo ricercato dai collezionisti e dai

designer. Per questo la gamma delle proposte spazia all’interno di un arco temporale molto ampio e di tipologie estremamente varie. Si va dal torso romano in marmo di epoca romana del II secolo a.C. di Ariadne gallery di New York ai reperti egizi, greci, ellenistici e romani di Phoenix ancient art di Ginevra; dai reliquari Kota del Gabon di Tambaran gallery alle giade cinesi del periodo neolitico di Throckmorton fine art, entrambe di New York. Nell’ambito degli arredi, ChastelMaréchal di Parigi espone un guéridon di Jean Royère del 1950, il raro specchio “Roi Soleil” di Line Vautrine del 1960 circa e una lampada da tavolo di Jean-Michel Frank

del 1928; Donzella di New York porta il sofà “Lotus” di Gio Ponti del 1952, prodotto da Cassina, e un tavolo da cocktail degli americani Philip & Kelvin LaVerne, del 1978. Glass past di New York presenta il vaso “Bollicine” di Carlo Scarpa del 1934 e il va-

so “Fasce ritorte” di Fulvio Bianconi del 1951, entrambi per Venini, mentre la Galerie Boccara di Parigi ha riunito una selezione di arazzi di artisti del ’900, come Sonia Delaunay, della manifattura Aubusson. (www.thesalonny.com).

Salon Art + Design has, over the last decade, become an unmissable event on the fall arts calendar. Now in its eleventh edition, Salon returns to the Park Avenue Armory in New York, from November 10th to 14th, featuring an impressively varied list of exhibitors.

Salon Art + Design is unique in its breadth; the fair features global art and design objects from antiquity to the present. This year there will be fifty-two exhibitors, many of whom are international participants attending for the first time since the pandemic making this year’s line-up even more exciting. Before the fair opens, Art & Object spoke with art world icon Jill Bokor, the fair’s executive director, about what we can expect this year.

Art & Object (A&O): First, congratulations on pulling together an exciting line-up for this year’s Salon: Art + Design! Salon is widely considered to be the most anticipated event of the fall arts calendar how does it feel to be in the eleventh iteration of the fair?

Jill Bokor (JB): Thank you. It feels wonderful. I think that one of the upsides of COVID is that it gave us a renewed appreciation and gratitude for things that we might have taken for granted.

A&O: What was your planning process like for this year? What elements are you particularly excited about?

JB: Our great hope was that many of our European galleries who couldn’t travel last year would return to the fair, and they have. In addition, we have a number of new international galleries, some of which have not been seen in this country before, so we’re very excited about that, too.

A&O: I know last year there were some international participants who couldn’t make it due to pandemic restrictions. Are there international exhibitors you are particularly eager to showcase?

https://www.artandobject.com/news/jill-bokor-speaks-about-upcoming-salon-art-design-fair

JB: We are delighted to welcome our first Egyptian gallery, Le Lab, that specializes in Middle-Eastern design. That’s a first for us. We also have a design partner, Klove Studio, from India who will showcase amazing totemic lighting design.

SB: One of the unique elements of Salon is its inclusion of a huge range of materials, both in terms of medium and time period. Were there any significant themes or exciting juxtapositions that came out as you were working on this year’s lineup?

JB: Salon isn’t really thematic except for the expectation of excellence in our exhibitors. I do love that we are the only fair that juxtaposes ancient art and design with contemporary. We literally show works from 2022 BC and 2022 AD.

A&O: Salon: Art + Design will be taking place, as usual, in New York, and I know your relationship with the city goes back even further than Salon. How have you seen the New York art scene change over the years?

JB: I’ve been in the art world since the mid-1980’s so I’ve seen a lot. That was the decade of conspicuous consumption (which might sound funny given current art market prices). I think at that time, people collected name artists and bought (for very inflated prices) less than stellar works of art just to have the name included in their collections.

Today, the hunt is for quality and we see that time and again at Salon. I’ve also noticed a sea of change in that people used to collect vertically, choosing to form a collection of old Masters or American furniture and develop very specific collections. Over the past eleven years at Salon, people have been mixing it up more vintage and contemporary are equally sought after by the same collectors and designers.

COURTESYLIZO’BRIEN

A&O: What does it seem like buyers are looking for this year? Have you sensed a change in tastes?

JB: The pandemic created a new marketplace. People’s lives are more concentrated in their homes now and they are paying a lot of attention to the things they live with. I do think that glass is having a moment, as is maximalism. People got tired of sparse design during their confinements so we’re seeing homes with larger, more statementlike pieces with more varied collections.

A&O: Perhaps it is still difficult to say, but how do you think the last two years have changed and will continue to influence art fairs and the art world more broadly?

JB: People have a heightened appreciation for the experience. We saw that last year. Instead of being limited to online viewing rooms, people were thrilled to be having an in-person experience again. The participants last year all reported renewed interest in dialogue and the palpable experience of being able to sit in a chair, hold a ceramic, and admire a painting in real-time instead of in pixels. This enthusiasm is even greater now that collectors are feeling safer they very much want the conversation and connection.

A&O: What can we expect to see in terms of special exhibitions and panel discussions?

JB: Our special exhibitions this year are fabulous. As mentioned there is lighting from India. We also have a collection of the world’s finest gems and minerals. We are also welcoming three very different jewelry galleries: one for highly collectible art jewelry, the second is an Haute jewelry designer from London, and the third is an elegant and well-known New York jewelry designer. And, for the first time, we welcome a renowned French interior designer who is showcasing his first line of furniture.

A&O: Is there anything else you want to highlight?

JB: Really, that there is something for everyone at the fair. People don’t, for example, always know that antiquities can be quite accessible and that they’re a great mix of contemporary design. More and more of our exhibitors are bringing in accessible pieces so that younger collectors can put a toe in the waters of collectible design. This year we’ve achieved a lovely balance of geography, genre, and period and I’m very excited about that.

Creamy-so as stone goes, alabaster has been carved into household objects for millennia in Egypt, where the Luxor quarries are still very much in business. Designer Omar Chakil—born in Beirut, raised in Paris and of Egyptian and Lebanese heritage—decided it was time to say something new with it. His simplified forms for tables, stools and sconces, highlighting alabaster’s translucency and swirling figuration, will be on view with Le Lab, a Giza-based gallery making its U.S. debut at Salon Art + Design, which runs from November 10 to 14 at New York’s Park Avenue Armory.

Visitors to Salon Art + Design at the Park Avenue Armory in New York later this month will be seeing ever more contemporary decor, furniture, and fine art amid the vintage lamps and furniture.

One reason is simply that visitors are attracted to things they haven’t seen before, and galleries also want to bring fresh material, says Jill Bokor, the fair’s executive director.

The shift also reflects how many choose to collect today. “A lot of people who had great vintage pieces would buy one contemporary conversation piece,” Bokor says. “That’s reversed itself.”

Salon Art + Design, a collectible design and art fair produced by Sanford L. Smith + Associates, will feature 52 exhibitors, including several from France and Le Lab Atelier from Egypt, which will be bringing designs from all over the Middle East.

The size of the fair, in its 11th year, is slightly smaller than usual, yet up from 47 exhibitors in 2021 as confusion around pandemic travel restrictions kept some galleries away. The full slate this year includes several installations by single artists or design teams on the main floor of the fair in addition to exhibits that will greet visitors in the historic rooms off the Armory’s entrance hall.

The Armory’s Library room will feature Wilensky Exquisite Mineral Gallery, from Manhattan, which will bring a glittering array of mineral specimens to Salon for the first time. Their offerings will include a precious opal from Ethiopia priced at US$265,000. According to the gallery, the stone includes colors unlike other precious opals from the region, all of which were only discovered in 2008.

Last year, the fair featured Studio Greytak of Montana, which incorporates stones and minerals in contemporary furniture.

In the Drill Hall, on the main floor, French architect and decorator Charles Zana will bring his furniture collection of pieces with a “modern mood,” that still are in the French tradition. Klove Studio, a lighting designer founded by Prateek Jam and Gautam Seth in New Delhi, India, will show a collection of lighting that references tribal icons and motifs. “You’ll see these incredible chandeliers,” Bokor says.

In fact, several galleries are bringing lighting, which could reflect demand by buyers in the mood to light up their homes after spending so much time in them during the pandemic, or the fact it’s simply getting darker now dayby-day, she says.

Also exhibiting is New York-based Gabriel & Guillaume, a collectible design gallery originally founded in Lebanon in 2013 by Nancy Gabriel and Guillaume Excoffier. The gallery offers Brazilian modernist pieces in addition to 20th-century and mid-modern design.

At Salon, Gabriel & Guillaume will show a Jean Royere “Ecusson” set of one sofa, three armchairs, and a coffee table, for US$850,000, and the “Schlesinger” Chandelier by Elizabeth Garouste and Mattia Bonetti, made from Murano glass and gilded-wrought iron, for US$85,000. The unique piece was made for the house of Nicola Jacobs Schlesinger, Dawson Place, in London.

Jewelry also will make an appearance at the fair this year in three design exhibitions. London-based Didier Ltd. will show its jewelry made and designed by artists from the late 19th century to the end of the 20th century. According to its website, the jewels “may be regarded as wearable sculptures,” and were often made by the artists for family and friends.

Also exhibiting will be another London jeweler, Lauren Adriana, who makes only 40 of her bold graphic jewels a year, and Yvel, an Israeli luxury jeweler founded by Orna and Isaac Levy.

While jewelry often attracts buyers, the bulk of the fair includes immersive booths filled with furniture, lighting, ceramics, and fine art the items people put in their homes. The numerous French galleries that are attending will be bringing a lot of elegant, contemporary material, including Armel Soyer, Galerie Carole Decombe and Galerie Yves Gastou, all new to Salon this year.

One striking item that would require a rather large home is a 22-foot sculpture in colorful powder-coated steel by Romanian-born New York artist Serban Ionescu, which is being brought by New York gallery R + Company. “He’s known for whimsical, very amusing pieces.”

Salon Art + Design opens Thursday, Nov., 10 with a preview to benefit the Dia Art Foundation at 4 p.m and a VIP preview at 5 p.m. before opening to the public at 7 p.m. It runs through Monday, Nov. 14.

Object of Desire

Creamy-soft as stone goes, alabaster has been carved into household objects for millennia in Egypt, where the Luxor quarries are still very much in business. Designer Omar Chakil born in Beirut, raised in Paris and of Egyptian and Lebanese heritage decided it was time to say something new with it. His simplified forms for tables, stools and sconces, highlighting alabaster’s translucency and swirling figuration, will be on view with Le Lab, a Giza-based gallery making its U.S. debut at Salon Art + Design, which runs from November 10 to 14 at New York’s Park Avenue Armory.

Amy Lau Redefines Brutalism With Exhibition At Salon Art + Design

Amy Lau’s infatuation with brutalism, quite literally, started small. “I was at a flea market in Belgium and I [bought] this beautiful black wood trinket box with big chunks of different colored glass studded into this darkened patina resin on the top of the box,” she explains. “It reminded me of the great Claire Falkenstein’s beautiful brutalist gates at the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice.” When she tested positive for COVID-19, she spent her quarantine staring at the box and recognizing all the different facets brutalism has to offer. Now, the interior designer is taking her fascination to the next level by presenting an exhibition called The Beauty of Brutalism during the 2022 Salon Art + Design. Inspired by Le Corbusier’s Cité Radieuse housing development in the 1940s, brutalism is known for its rough surfaces, monochromatic palette, and unusual shapes. (As Lau points out, Le Corbusier’s development was created in “béton brut,” which translates to raw concrete.) However, Lau is turning the attention to period pieces that are rich in color, materials, textures, and finishes.

https://aspiremetro.com/amy-lau-brutalism-salon-art-design/

“I took a deep dive into studying glass, ceramics, lighting, and furniture from the period and noticed a repeating pattern of something entirely new to what we thought was brutalism: The beauty in it,” she explains.

A carefully curated collection of 36 pieces, the classic understanding of brutalism will be challenged with abstracted applications of copper enamel, striking angular variations of cut glass, and distressed, handwrought metalwork. Highlights include a coffee table by Jules Dewaele for Pia Manu, Silas Seandel’s wall sculpture, and the Longboard Floor Lamp Albano Poli designed for Poliarte, the latter being a favorite for Lau.

https://aspiremetro.com/amy-lau-brutalism-salon-art-design/

“I love the name of it as it’s named after the ancient rulers of Lombardy and reminds me of Charlegmagne’s Iron Crown with its embedded stones,” she shares. “Poli created this unique modular composition of rectangular varying heights out of rugged tarnished metals and inserted beautiful colors of jagged glass that jut out like roughcut jewels.”

As visitors tour the collection, Lau hopes they develop a “renewed interest and appreciation for the movement and the variations of its unique style” just as she has.

Lau says: “As with anything, when I look and learn more about various times in the history of design, it broadens my eye to new ways to look and think about the interiors and products I create.”

Beauty of Brutalism is on display from November 10 through November 14, 2022 at the Park Avenue Armory in New York City. You can learn more about the exhibition at https://www.thesalonny.com/.

Más allá del arte

Sotheby's elebra la primera gala en su historia, de la mano de poderosos nombres como Annie Leibovitz, David Hockney y Anitta, mientras desafía expectativas.

El arte es capaz de mover montañas, y así lo prueba la icónica casa Sotheby's que tuvo su primera gala en la historia. Ésta tuvo como co-chair a la talentosa fotógrafa Annie Leibovitz, quien estuvo de la mano de Anitta (la artista brasileña que fue portada de nuestra edición de septiembre). Vale la pena destacar que Sotheby's lanzará su programa de impacto social este otoño con una iniciativa sin fines de lucro que se entrelaza con las obras del artista y ambientalista Sebastião Salgado, (1944, Brasil); con piezas en colecciones permanentes que incluyen el Centro Pompidou y el Museo de Arte Moderno. Salgado centra su obra en la crisis climática y su impacto en las comunidades indígenas, y tendrá una exposición llamada Magnum Opus, con imágenes desde 1978 a la actualidad, que serán subastadas y retratan a 12 comunidades indígenas. El 100% de las ganancias de dicha exposición y de la gala, beneficiarán a la organización sin fines de lucro de reforestación brasileña, Instituto Terra. La exposición será gratuita y abierta al

público. La muestra estuvo disponible en Sotheby's Nueva York del 26 de septiembre al 12 de octubre (con acceso a audiencias remotas), con lo que se logró llevar la acción del agente como agente de cambio a otro aspecto social.

Es importante destacar que su gala fue el 28 de septiembre en la sede de Sotheby's York Avenue. Co presidida por Annie Leibovitz y con miembros del Comité de la beneficencia como Gabriela Hearst, Nina García, Adrian Grenier y Mickey Sumner, la velada consistió en un cóctel seguido de una cena, una subasta en vivo y una actuación especial de Anitta, quien también es miembro de este comité.

Entre lo que se abrió a subasta, destacó la experiencia única de tener un retrato comisionado a Annie Leibovitz, mientras que David Hockney ofreció una visita privada a su estudio, llevando la subasta al arte y la magia presencial. Así es como Sotheby's brilló al convertirse en un agente de cambio digno de celebrar de forma magnánima. K. G. U.

Headed by Benoist Drut, influential New York art and design gallery Maison Gerard will showcase work by a pair of artisans recently added to its illustrious roster: Antonio Pio Saracino and Jean-Luc Le Mounier. Master cabinetmaker Le Mounier will display his Vers Le Large cabinet, which was inspired by a dock, as well as a mirror and table titled Moon, from the Hamada series. Meanwhile, Italian architect Antonio Pio Saracino has created an armchair with stone accents, a marble-clad console, sconces, tables, and a green chandelier made of a thousand glass pieces. The booth will also feature work by gallery favorites such as Niamh Barry, Franck Evennou, Aline Hazarian, Douglas Fanning, and Achille Salvagni. Salvagni, in particular, is set to present a selection of limitededition works as well as a rare bench by Gio Ponti. The collaboration between Maison Gerard and Achille Salvagni marks the beginning of an exciting new gallery called Achille Salvagni Atelier that will debut on Madison Avenue in mid-November.

3. Wilensky Exquisite Minerals | Library

The family-run Wilensky Exquisite Minerals has been presenting some of the worlds’s finest minerals as works of art since its founding in 1983. This year’s Salon marks the first time the New York gallery is presenting its dazzling specimens at the fair, taking over the Armory’s library with a selection of ultra-rare stones as well as furnishings by Antonio Pio Saracino.

4. Ottra | Drill Hall

Started as an offshoot of the architecture firm Zimmerman Workshop, Brooklyn’s Ottra was founded by Sofia and Adam Zimmerman as an outlet to create bespoke sculptural wooden furniture and site-specific installations. Here, they’ll showcase a playful, eight-foot diameter walnut floor mirror as well as a shapely oak-framed sofa that recently won a NYCxDesign award.

5. Amy Lau Design | Grand Staircase

Lauded interior designer Amy Lau, founder of Amy Lau Design, will take over the Armory’s Grand Staircase with an installation called “Beauty of Brutalism.” In it, she has curated a spellbinding selection of period pieces (including Geoffrey Baxter’s stunning glass vessels, shown above) that range in color, size, material, and texture, as well as works by contemporary talents who are inspired by the architectural movement.

the Must - See Pieces Coming to Salon Art + Design 2022

Once again, the fair arrives at New York’s Park Avenue Armory, filling it with covetable pieces offered by top galleries from across the city and around the world.

[NOVEMBER 6, 2022] “It’s one of those fairs that we always go back to because we love the people involved and the crowd that they bring,” Evan Snyderman, cofounder of the estimable furniture gallery R & COMPANY, says about New York’s SALON ART + DESIGN. “It’s one of the most popular fairs with the architecture and design communities. They always turn out.”

https://www.1stdibs.com/introspective-magazine/salon-art-and-design-2022/

Still, why does R & Company go to the trouble of renting and outfitting a booth just four miles north of its permanent home, in Manhattan’s Tribeca neighborhood? “At Salon, we always reconnect with clients we don’t see in other places,” says Snyderman, “including New Yorkers who never come downtown.”

That’s music to the ears of Jill Bokor, the executive director of Salon, which runs through November 14 at the Park Avenue Armory, on the city’s Upper East Side, after opening with a November 10 preview to benefit the DIA ART FOUNDATION.

The2022editionofSalonArt+DesignopensNovember10attheParkAvenueArmory,onManhattan’sUpperEastSide,withmore than50exhibitors.AmongthemwillbeJ.LOHMANNGALLERY,displayingPARALLAX,2022,byTIMRAWLINSON,picturedat left,andFRIEDMANBENDA,bringinggt2P’s2021Monopolesideboard,atright(photosthroughoutcourtesyofthegalleriesunless otherwisenoted).Top:Visitorscirculateamongtheboothsin2021(photobyPeterBaker).

“This is our first real post-pandemic year,” she notes. What would have been the ninth Salon Art + Design, in 2020, was canceled. In 2021, the fair opened with fewer dealers than usual, though Bokor says she’s amazed it happened at all. Now, eight of the exhibitors that stayed away last year are back, including three from New York and others from as far away as Stockholm and Shanghai. Bokor is expecting record sales for the exhibitors (28 of which are 1stDibs sellers). “We’re all spending more time at home than before the pandemic. And that means there are things in all our homes we’d like to fix.”

To Bokor, whose husband, Sanford Smith, founded the fair in 2012, it’s important that dealers display both ART and DESIGN. That, after all is what distinguishes Salon from its competitors. (Design/Miami, because of its ties to Art Basel, can’t show anything that qualifies simply as art.) She also likes galleries to combine vintage pieces (roughly one-third of the items in the fair, she estimates) with newly produced work.

CRISTINAGRAJALESwillshowCHRISTOPHECÔME‘s2014JewelBoxcabinetandPAULAHAYES‘s2015CorsetTrapeze chandelier.

One Salon dealer who does it right is CRISTINA GRAJALES. Her booth will feature a travertine console by AARON PORITZ and cabinets by CHRISTOPHE CÔME, whose metal and agateware tile surfaces are the result of Côme’s experiments with the materials during the pandemic. Hanging on the walls will be silver sconces adorned with handblown-glass flowers, by RANDY POLUMBO, and works by the Iranian-British-American photographer FIROOZ ZAHEDI, who is married to nonpareil collector Beth Rudin DeWoody. Overhead will be a Trapeze chandelier by PAULA HAYES along with a Loominair fixture by BETIL DAGDELEN, and underfoot a VICTOR VASARELY–inspired rug by the Colombian textile atelier Hechizoo.

Philadelphia’s WEXLER GALLERY has also mastered the design-art balance. Wexler will show oil-on-linen paintings by Valerie Campos alongside large sculptural works by Harry Morgan, who combines glassblowing and concrete casting to create pieces that look like neither glass nor concrete. The booth will include furniture by Ethiopian designer Jomo Tariku, as well. Tariku’s Nyala chair, made of black ash with inlaid brass, is named for a southern African antelope whose horns inspired the shape of the chair’s back.

https://www.1stdibs.com/introspective-magazine/salon-art-and-design-2022/

Klove Studio, based in New Delhi, will present a collection of eye-catching ART DECO–inspired light fixtures made with precious metals and gemstones (including tourmaline, topaz, pearl, onyx and moonstone). The studio’s young makers, Prateek Jain and Gautam Seth, employed motifs that ancient Egyptians, Native Americans and members of the tribes of Northeast India would recognize.

Salon uses every part of the Armory, not just its giant Drill Hall, to present art and design. The show starts in the foyer’s reception area, which the Los Angeles gallery TWENTIETH will outfit with THOMAS NEWMAN STUDIO chairs made of sapele, an African hardwood, cerused to a warm gray finish and sculpted into shapes derived from nature (shades of ART NOUVEAU). “The point is for the pieces to set the tone as visitors enter the Armory,” says the gallery’s owner, Stefan Lawrence. Additionally, Twentieth will show a new sculptural floor lamp by Newman and his studio’s already iconic PEARL CHANDELIER.

Also in the foyer will be interior designer and curator AMY LAU’s two-part mini-exhibition “Beauty of Brutalism.” A term MOST OFTEN ASSOCIATED with raw-concrete buildings, BRUTALIST can also describe furniture, lighting and accessories with bare, unfinished surfaces, including glass as rough as sandpaper, crusty ceramics and distressed, patinated metal. Among Lau’s examples are a pair of lounge chairs designed by WILLIAM WESTENHAVER for WITCO in the 1960s. Though plush in the front they’re upholstered in sky-blue velvet they have backs of Pacific Northwest cedar shaped by a chainsaw.

Lau included, as well, a console with a facade of white-gold-leafed metal blocks by JAMES BEARDEN, a former graphic designer with a welding shop in Iowa. Another selection is an astonishing light tower, by the Verona-based master ALBANO POLI, of metal-framed glass panes that project emerald, ruby, honey and amber light. (Poli, who is 87, is the first one to arrive at his studio every morning, at 8 a.m., his assistant says.)

In the collector’s lounge, London gallery CHARLES BURNAND will show three pieces by Puerto Rican maker Reynold Rodriguez from his Before the Fantastic… collection: a chaise longue in white plaster; another chaise in hand-carved, hurricane-felled mahogany and almendro wood; and a chair in gypsum plaster.

The special exhibitions continue in the back of the Drill Hall with a furniture collection by Parisian interior designer CHARLES ZANA. Being shown in New York for the first time, it includes his monumental patinated-bronze Calanque Two coffee table and his Franck Bridge chair, with a thin oak frame and thick suede-covered seat. Also in that section of the Drill Hall, Brooklyn-based Ottra will display a mirror eight feet in diameter on a ball-like wooden base and a new oak-framed sofa and loveseat by firm owners Sofia and ADAM ZIMMERMAN. Towering over the Zana and Ottra furniture will be a colorful 22-foot-high outdoor sculpture or architectural folly presented by R & Company. Called Tower for an Hour, it is the work of Romanian-born designer SERBAN IONESCU. Ionescu’s more familiar pieces, which will populate the separate R & Company booth, are almostfunctional tables and chairs made of wood or metal cut into the shapes of characters from Ionescu’s imagination. “He makes inanimate objects come to life,” says Snyderman.

https://www.1stdibs.com/introspective-magazine/salon-art-and-design-2022/

Alongside Ionescu’s designs in the R & Company booth will be 3D-printed ceramic sculptures by Jolie Ngo, who recently graduated from Alfred University. “You can buy one of her pieces for a couple of thousand dollars,” says Snyderman, who adds, “It’s exciting to be launching a new generation of talents. It’s design’s next wave and so a great time for people to come see what we’re doing.”

Bokor shares his enthusiasm. A hands-on chief executive, she likes to visit galleries before inviting them to join Salon. As happy as she is to encounter work by design greats, “I’m always most excited by new material,” she says.

When she signs up new exhibitors there are eight this year she shares a few pointers. First, she tells them to think of their booths as “immersive environments.” Visitors to Salon architects, interior designers and, of course, collectors are more likely to buy a piece, she explains, if they see how it looks in a room. For the same reason, she also advises dealers to avoid pedestals and anything else that shouts “display.” And she recommends keeping their booths uncluttered. She wants visitors to feel comfortable moseying around, unconstrained. Browsing, after all, can lead to buying.

She should know. Bokor herself sometimes buys, quietly, at her own fair. For years, she lived with CRAFTSMAN furniture, almost all of it dark wood. But in recent years, while renovating a Manhattan townhouse, she says, “I’ve lightened up a bit.” When the house is finished, she plans to

“This edition of Salon Art + Design will be our most international yet with galleries from India, Egypt, Lebanon, and China joining our formidable lineup of exhibitors from the Americas, Europe, and Britain,” says fair director Jill Bokor.

The highly anticipated event dedicated to all things design steps off November 10 with a roster of more than 50 galleries, including stalwarts Maison Gerard, Galerie Chastel-Maréchal, Friedman Benda, Moderne Gallery, R & Company, and Vallois, and newcomers Armel Soyer, Boccara Art, Galerie Artempo, Galerie Carole Decombe, Galerie Scène Ouverte, Galerie Yves Gastou, Garde, Le Lab, and Mindy Solomon Gallery.

When asked about new design trends that will be readily noticeable in this year’s offering, Bokor tells Avenue, “There is a discernable sense of calm and tranquility imparted by the objects being presented.” The current craving for pale tones and clean lines, she explains, “is surely a quest for serenity borne out of the Covid chaos of the past several years and the fact that people are spending far more time in their domestic spaces as they revel in a more flexible business environment. We are also seeing a certain maximalism in terms of the scale of the pieces.”

Among this year’s highlights, says Bokor, is a suite of magnificent “totemic lighting” installations by Prateek Jain and Gautam Seth of the New Delhi-based design firm Klove Studio, which will be presented throughout the exhibition hall as the luminous, tribally inspired blown-glass and mixed-media works are simply too massive to fit in an individual booth.

Beyond the fair itself, says Bokor, discerning visitors would be wise to take in some of the talks and panel discussions with design visionaries from around the globe, including Tony Freund, the editorial director for 1stDibs.

What I Buy and Why: Design Collector and Fair Director Jill Bokor on the Danger of Buying a Chair That You Can’t Actually Sit in

Bokor, who now oversees the prestigious fair Salon Art + Design, has worn many art-world hats.

JillBokor.ImagecourtesyofBFA.

Jill Bokor has worn many hats over the past three decades. Having held positions in the publishing, nonprofit, and gallery worlds, she now leads the Salon Art + Design fair. The next edition of the event opens Thursday, November 10 at the Park Avenue Armory and runs through November 14. Like the fair she has led for the past 11 years, Bakor’s own collection fuses art and design from across periods.

https://news.artnet.com/market/what-i-buy-and-why-design-collector-and-fair-director-jill-bokor-

Bokor began her publishing career at New York magazine, and later served as publisher of Art + Auction in the late 1980s and ’90s. She was also director of major gifts at City Harvest and director of development for the Citizens Committee for New York.

From 2004 to 2015, she co-owned a gallery in Great Barrington, Massachusetts, that mixed 20th-century bluechip works on paper and contemporary regional art with contemporary jewelry. So she is an expert at presenting works from different collecting categories alongside one another. Ahead of the fair, we spoke with her about how she lives with art and design in her Manhattan home.

The Salon Art+Design

Now at its 11th iteration, one of the most eagerly awaited events for collectors takes place in New York, from 10 to 14 November 2022

With The Salon Art+Design the spaces of the Park Avenue Armory in New York are transformed into a stage featuring original works presented by 52 international galleries, invited to narrate the visions of rising talents in dialogue with the great masters of the 20th century.

A voyage into vintage, modern and contemporary, with protagonists of the world of collecting like the galleries R&Company, Friedman Benda, The Future Perfect, David Gill, and their original creations, including furnishings and lamps of exceptional refinement.

In this treasure trove, works by Ron Arad, Fernando & Humberto Campana, Misha Kahn and Gio Ponti stand out, just to name a few names, inside eclectic displays and site-specific installations produced by the event’s partners.

Inside the Drill Hall, OTTRA – an atelier founded in Brooklyn by Sofia and Adam Zimmerman and known for its sculptural furnishings – presents an impressive floor mirror, as well as a sofa with an asymmetrical form, a recent winner of the NYCxDesign Award.

In the Colonel’s Room the studio Refractory, opened in Chicago by Angie West and Alberto Vélez, relies on a distinctive language between functional art and collectible design, with one-offs made by hand by master craftsmen, invited to experiment with material magic.

To offer guests a refuge for relaxation, the interior design firm frenchCALIFORNIA, opened by Guillaume Coutheillas in San Francisco and New York, transforms the Collectors Lounge into an elegant, intimate salon.

“After a highly successful, though smaller, fair in 2021,” says Jill Bokor, Executive Director of the event, “we look forward to the return of many of the international galleries who were unable to participate because of the pandemic. They will be joined by newcomers from Los Angeles, Texas, Egypt, France and New York.”

https://ifdm.design/2022/11/08/the-salon-artdesign/

The event continues to grow, bringing in new exhibitors this year, including France’s Armel Soyer, a gallery for decorative arts of the 20th century, and Galerie Scene Ouverte, with contemporary design pieces; from Egypt, Le Lab Atelier presents the creative vision of the Middle East, while the American Mindy Solomon Gallery promotes innovative concepts of art-design talents.

The Armory is transformed into a striking destination, paced by the settings orchestrated by the two main partners: Apparatus, with collections of furnishings and lighting driven by modernism, and the excellence of the Grand Vintage Collection by Moët & Chandon.

'80s - Themed Resin Chairs

Ron Arad is Releasing the 'Big Easy' Chair in Limited-Edition Resin

Ron Arad has unveiled six new editions of his iconic ‘Big Easy’ chair in vibrantly colored resin. In 1988, Arad created the ‘Big Easy’ chair, which soon became one of his most iconic designs. The Italian company Moroso went on to commercially make their overstuffed armchair shape using new and inventive materials. In collaboration with Opera's creator Gilles Dyan, the Big Easy is now available in solid resin with eight chairs per six individual colors.

“The gallery has always been a longtime supporter of Ron Arad’s work,” Dyan said. We are pleased to start an exclusive collaboration with him through a series of design pieces made exclusively of clear resin, reinterpreting some of his most iconic works.”

The limited edition Opera Chairs by Arad will debut at Salon Art + Design at The Armory on November 10 and remain on display until November 12.

Hyping 2022 Salon Art + Design with cocktails at Apparatus

OVER THE PAST decade, Salon Art + Design has carved out a distinctive niche for itself among the many collectible design fairs that dot the globe. Taking place at the ornate Victorian-style Park Avenue Armory, the event stands apart by attracting a distinctively sophisticated, knowledgeable yet dynamic collector base – many of whom call the adjoining avenues and streets home.

With a select group of 51 exhibitors, Salon Art + Design seamlessly combines displays of vintage, modern and contemporary wares. Exceptional examples of 20th-century art also make an appearance. This year’s fair, the 11th edition, will see the return of international galleries that have been absent for over two years. Characterised by an abundance of glass and a more neutral colour palette, this year’s Salon Art + Design is set to return to its prepandemic scale and grandeur.

The staple event has evolved a great deal according to Executive Director Jill Bokor. “When we began, the fair was mostly French and American galleries,” she explains, “but over the years we have become far more global –welcoming exhibitors from 13 countries.” Perhaps most important for her is that Salon Art + Design has gone from operating as a hybrid art-and-design fair to one dedicated almost entirely to the latter, with only hints of the former.

This shift reflects the niche industry’s growth in the last decade, especially regarding contemporary output, as well as the sector’s enhanced standing among buyers who might have previously acquired only fine art. “The market for crossover collecting has never been stronger,” Bokor emphasises. “You used to see a great collection of art surrounded by indifferent furniture – the art was everything. These days, top collectors are also considering furniture, ceramics, lighting and glass. They’re flocking to Salon Art + Design to find it.”

Although particular designers have begun to fetch significant prices for their work, the sums involved still lag way behind those fetched by big-name artists. Encouragingly, however, the market is accessible and brings in a younger clientele. “They’re beginning to understand that good design enhances life and that they can put their toes in the waters of collecting,” Bokor explains.

During the pandemic, online sales reigned supreme, but that was truer of fine art than collectible design. Viewing furnishings, luminaires or vessels in person – to comprehend a piece’s materiality, scale and actual colour – is a much better way to make an informed purchase. With the demand for physical interaction so high, Salon Art + Design is predicted to bounce back in full force.

“So much of it is palpable – you want to sit in a chair or hold a ceramic piece before you buy it,” says Bokor. “People were staying home and paying attention to their surroundings and found that they wanted to make changes in their homes. Now, even though we are on the other side of the pandemic, people are still at home, leading to stronger sales for specialised galleries.”

“Glass has become a hot commodity,” says Bokor. Along with expert platforms Glass Past and Heller Gallery, other exhibitors will also showcase the medium. Todd Merrill will spotlight Jamie Harris’s highly sought-after sculptures, as R + Company features new works by Jeff Zimmerman. Galerie Negropontes is set to display Perrin & Perrin’s almost neolithic ‘NÉVÉ I’ series.

“I’ve also noticed a trend toward neutrals: whites, creams, and beiges,” Bokor notes. “This suggests that people want calm in their lives after these last chaotic two-and-half years.” Phoenix Ancient Art will exhibit the Roman marble torso of ‘Priapus Embracing a Maenad’ from the 1st–2nd centuries AD, while ‘Sovereign’ – the white bronze vase by Fredrikson Stallard – will be on display with David Gill Gallery.

Highlights from Salon Art + Design

The interest to collect design has skyrocketed since the beginning of 2020 due to the pandemic’s invitation to notice our surroundings more deeply, and Salon Art + Design is among the foremost affairs to experience this moment. After last year’s cautious domestic gallery-only edition, the fair returns to the Park Avenue Armory, business as usual, with 52 national and global exhibitors. In its 11th edition, Salon Art + Design boasts a presentation rich in material and geography, with glass and ceramic claiming the spotlight and exhibitors from cities like Cairo, Beirut, and New Delhi making their fair debut. “Walking down the aisles, the visitors must pay

https://interiordesign.net/designwire/highlights-from-salon-art-design/

attention to every booth because they will not see two adjacent exhibitors both showing 1950s French furniture or mid-century Italian lamps,” says the fair’s executive director, Jill Bokor.

Besides the travel ban lift eliminating the logistical gates, the fair signals the trends of a post-pandemic sensibility perhaps a freer outlook to taste and a broader lens towards the mainstays of collectible design. “There is definitely a maximalist movement happening,” says Bokor. “We all, at first, felt insular during the pandemic but now there is a real celebration of pieces of size and materials with historic market expanding to the contemporary space, such as glass and pottery.”

From jewelers in the outer rooms to nooks outside the main Drill Hall such as the staircases or the Colonel’s Room, the venue offers the dramatic backdrop essential for the intergenerational selection of objects to shine. “I curate the moves carefully, not only for what dealers will bring but about who is positioned next to each other,” explains Bokor. While last year’s smaller line-up demanded its own challenges for juxtaposition, this year the fair poses the necessity of an orchestration that absorbs the fairgoers “to pay attention to every display along the way.”

Cristina Grajales

Downtown New York’s own Cristina Grajales gallery brings an energetic selection of furniture from an expansive geography, handpicked by the gallery’s namesake Colombian founder who has a particular positioning in the design space as a curator, advisor, dealer, and thinker.

Paris-based designer Christophe Côme’s idea of a container broadly spans from a 63 inches by 29 inches iron and agateware cabinet to a 3 inches by 10 inches iron and glass jewel box. Abiquiu, New Mexico-based Turkish designer Betil Dagdelen presents an inviting chair from her Orly series, made with blackened steel, cotton, hemp, and Churro wool, all nodding to Dagdelen’s experiences with weavers in Peru and Turkey.

https://interiordesign.net/designwire/highlights-from-salon-art-design/

Le LAB

While online exhibitions have been common among most dealers and fairs, Intersection Magazine was Salon’s response to the cancelation of a physical fair during 2020. “A fair and a magazine are similar in a way that when you turn the page or move onto the next booth, you want to see something different,” says Bokor. “After Brazilian furniture, you want to see Japanese ceramics, and then contemporary Egyptian furniture.”

The last exemplar is fulfilled by the Cairo-based Le LAB. The fair’s newcomer, founded by the Egyptian lawyer, arts patron and design collector Rasheed Kamel, the gallery offers a slice of the Middle East where craftsmanship and material expertise across the civilizations are filtered through a contemporary lens.

French, Egyptian and Lebanese designer Omar Chakil’s Nubia bookshelf is made out of raw hand-carved onyx heart of Egyptian alabaster, reaching to twenty-two inches at height. Chakil’s rounded visual language also lives in coffee table Hathor, carved from the same material with a similarly soft finish.

Adrian Sassoon

From North Africa, travel to London at Adrian Sassoon’s booth where glass and earthenware occupies the display with timeless yet contemporary visual cues. Dutch designer Bouke De Vries assumes his past as a restorer to craft an introspective lens towards materials, value, and process.

In Double Gourd Memory Vessel, broken pieces from the 17th and 18th century Chinese porcelain vases are gently assembled inside a new class vase. The porcelain’s blue ornaments exist in fragments, contained in the glass’s pristine form. De Vries also questions a vulnerable object’s irreversibility after breaking in Deconstructed Neolithic Machang Jar which shows a 2,500-2,000 BC Chinese earthenware jar positioned over a bronze surface.

Friedman Benda

New York’s Heller Gallery and Glass Past exclusively focus on glass, while many galleries present contemporary glass pieces, including Chelsea’s Friedman Benda, in their selections. “There will be really interesting glass on the floor, including Thaddeus Wolfe’s sculptures,” says Bokor. Playful and engaging, the Brooklyn-based designer’s practice merges glassblowing with casting, adorned with standout hues and biomorphic forms inspired by nature’s own way. The British multi hyphenate Faye Toogood’s hard-carved oak desk, Mound, is a sculptural piece of furniture, containing two large shelves inside one of its legs, topped with a finishing that resembles moon’s surface.

https://interiordesign.net/designwire/highlights-from-salon-art-design/

Gabriel & Guillaume

Gabriel & Guillaume returns for a second year after the dealers Nancy Gabriel and Guillaume Excoffier moved their business from Beirut to Manhattan’s Midtown. As broad as the gallery’s geographical transition is its offerings in period, tradition, and culture. From Brazilian Modernists to emerging Lebanese designers, the program taps into every curious eye’s taste, and at the fair, visitors can expect a similar range. Beirut-based lamp design studio Mariagroup, opened by siblings Georges and Michèle Maria, presents Cornette floor lamp which blends Washi paper with hand-shaped and hammered aged brass. Another two-designer studio Garouste & Bonetti, which was launched by costume designer Elizabeth Garouste and photographer Matt Bonetti in Paris, brings the light from the floor to the ceiling with Schlesinger, a chandelier made from Murano glass and gilded wrought iron. Mid-century design firm Bruno Gatta from outside of Milan is memorialized with a 1950s rare floor lamp with three circular shades.

Modernity

Another gallery that has grown out of its hometown, Stockholm’s Modernity also operates in London to promote 20th century Nordic design. Swedish designer Mats Theselius’s aluminum and birch bark chair is a striking example of how two seemingly contrasting materials blend to offer comfort and sculptural radiance. The aluminum’s industrial sleekness and bark’s organic familiarity offer a tongue-in-cheek medley of material synthesis.

Swedish artist Alf Wallander’s acid-etched glass vase was first exhibited at the Baltic exhibition in Malmö at the beginning of the 20th century. In the context of the gallery’s presentation, the radiant object offers a slice of the former century’s Scandinavian tradition with Wallander’s rendition of the blue sky across the vase, adorned with the seagull motifs etched and engraved by Axel Enoch Boman in the late Art Nouveau fashion.

Klove

New Delhi-based lighting firm Klove was established by Prateek Jain and Gautam Seth in 2005 and now produces lighting solutions at dramatic scales with a team of over a hundred. Handblown glass pieces are culled from local Indian tradition, as well as a response to contemporary touches of architecture and industrial design.

The studio brings the new collection Totems Over Time to the fair’s main Drill Hall, signaling the title’s play on temporality with a medley of traditions, including tribal icons, Art Deco, biomorphic touches on metal, and exploration of geometric symmetric. Besides the light fixtures’ sculptural forms, their illumination in dramatic compositions compliments the designers’ statement on transcendence and immersion.

As New York ramps up for Salon Art + Design, we list up a few other exhibitions in the city that have enchanted our imagination recently!

When the weather finally turns chilly and the leaves add a dramatic, colorful spark to the cityscape, keep your eyes out for interesting cultural exhibits and fine art fairs. Recently, we made some remarkable discoveries at the majestic New York Public Library in Bryant Park, New York University’s Institute for the Study of the Ancient World which is housed in a gorgeous Upper East Side townhouse, and visited the venerable Metropolitan Museum of Art for an unforgettable photography exhibit.

“Fortune and Folly in 1720” at the New York Public Library (entrance is free) is a genius exhibition of the world’s first bubble economy when everyday citizens speculated in New World trading companies. By the close of 1720, an unprecedented bull market would culminate in the world’s first international financial crash. Orchestrated by the insolvent governments of France and England, and fueled by illusions and propaganda of colonial wealth, these investment bonanzas are synonymous with get-rich-quick schemes. On view are stock shares, newly created banknotes, crazy farcical political cartoons illustrating the “financial alchemy” that drove that market volatility, plus other propaganda like maps and travel literature from the library’s extensive collection. Little did many investors know that Louisiana was an unprofitable swamp!

ArmbandfromHungarianNationalMuseum,Budapest,Hungary.

Ritual and Memory at New York University’s Institute for the Study of the Ancient World (free admission) was a unique discovery! Two hundred ritual objects from the Neolithic Period (about 8,000 years ago) through the Iron Age (about 2,500 years ago) used by men and women, warriors and wives, kings and farmers in the ancient civilizations of the Balkan region are on view. Great skill and technological accomplishment of each item, from jewelry to warrior-wear, will capture your imagination.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art (admission price varies) offers a fantastic exhibit featuring 200 photographs in Bernd & Hilla Becher, the German artists’ first posthumous retrospective of their 50-year career. Working as a rare artist couple, they developed a rigorous practice focused on a single subject: the disappearing industrial architecture of Western Europe and North America that fueled the modern era. This anthology of architecture is remarkable in its detail: the couple worked exclusively with black-and-white photographic materials, intentionally avoiding the medium’s inevitable move to color that took place during the 1960s and 1970s, and methodically recorded blast furnaces, winding towers, grain silos, cooling towers and gas tanks with precision, elegance, and passion. This pushes photography into the realm of fine art and historic preservation of industrial architecture.

TwoKnightsbyRaty,SalonArt+Design.

If you’re in New York City from November 8 to 14, be sure to catch Salon Art + Design at the historic Park Avenue Armory that presents the one of the world’s most sophisticated design fairs offering vintage, modern and contemporary items. Galleries, mostly from Paris, gives this event its “je ne sais quoi” flavor with an eclectic mix of blue-chip 20th century art and ancient art that spotlight the trends of collectible design. It’s a feast for the eyes and an inspiration for anyone interested in interior design and collecting. Booths are transformed into living spaces so tantalizing and chic that you’ll want to immediately redecorate! To illustrate some of the eclecticism of the galleries, take a look at Christophe Côme’s Camouflage Cabinet (2020) made of iron and agate and the jaunty Two Knights sculpture by Francois Raty (1978) at the Thomas Fritsch Gallery. If anything, you’ll be inspired to rethink how you might change your own living spaces!

Ron Arad is Releasing his "Big Easy" Chair in Limited - Edition Resin

An icon reinterpreted.

OperaGallery

Industrial design icon Ron Arad has crafted six new versions of his “Big Easy” chair, each in a different color of resin. Released in collaboration with Opera Gallery, the limited-edition versions are set to go on sale at the upcoming Salon Art + Design in New York, which kicks off on November 10.

Arad designed his Big Easy chair back in 1988, and it quickly became one of his most notable pieces. Its silhouette of an overstuffed armchair went on to be commercially produced by the Italian brand Moroso, in materials such as steel, upholstery, and molded polyethylene. Now, working alongside Opera’s founder Gilles Dyan, the Big Easy arrives in solid resin, in an edition of eight chairs per six individual colors. The first three of these colorful iterations – in Olive, Transparent and Yellow – will be on show at the upcoming fair.

Dyan, who founded Opera back in 1994, has known Arad for many years. His own personal collection features a few pieces by the Israeli designer, and this particular collaboration came about after he made the suggestion that Arad explored the use of resin across some of his existing works. The Big Easy marks the first iteration of this collaborative project, with more versions slated to come. “The gallery has always been a longtime supporter of Ron Arad’s work,” Dyan said. We are pleased to start an exclusive collaboration with him through a series of design pieces made exclusively of clear resin reinterpreting some of his most iconic works.”

After a preview at PAD in London last month, Arad’s limited edition Opera Chairs will launch at Salon Art + Design at The Armory on November 10 and will be on view until November 12.

5. The 11th Edition of Salon Art + Design Kicks Off in New York

Open from November 10 to 14 at the Park Avenue Armory, this year’s Salon Art + Design fair brings together 52 international exhibitors, some of whom were unable to attend last year’s show due to pandemic travel restrictions. It also marks the return of the Salon Conversations series after a three-year absence, with discussions featuring influencers from NYC Jewelry Week, 1stDibs, and more. Of course, the main attraction is the building’s cavernous Wade Thompson Drill Hall, where dozens of galleries have set up booths showcasing the world’s best vintage, modern, and contemporary art and design. One of the highlights is always Maison Gerard, which this year is bringing new pieces by the firm Georgis & Mirgorodsky: the Bombola sofa and Le Nopal chair (shown above). The voluptuous sofa was inspired by Carlo Mollino’s race cars and naughty polaroids, while the chair resembles an abstracted prickly pear cactus and pays homage to the Hispanic diaspora past and present.

Designer of the Day: Omar Chakil

Born in Beirut, raised in Paris, and inspired by centuries of his Egyptian heritage, Omar Chakil aims for his Animism-inspired sculptural objects shown at Le Lab Atelier to encapsulate all three cultures. The Cairo-based designer now reveals a series of hand-carved tables, lighting fixtures, plinths, and small accessories made in translucent, flesh-like Egyptian onyx marble also known as Pharaonic alabaster, one of Egypt’s rarest materials that embody the belief in all objects possessing a spiritual essence. Called “Suite Anima,” the collection will go on view at Le Lab Atelier’s booth at Salon Art + Design in New York as his stateside debut.

Hometown: Paris and Cairo.

Studio location: Cairo, Paris, Beyrouth, and where I am, really.

Describe what you make: I try to materialize feelings and build cultural bridges through the creation of objects.

The most important thing you’ve designed to date: In terms of size, the Naughty Cleo bathtub. In terms of resonance, the Birth chair, which broke a sales record for contemporary Egyptian Alabaster at a Piasa auction. My Nubia bookshelf is my favorite.

Describe the problem your work solves: I’m not sure they solve any problems, but I like to believe they help inspire people and bring them closer to notions of global awareness, long-term vision, slower trade, and desire for objects that last and resonate throughout several generations and stand the test of time.

Describe the project you’re working on now: Several installations for restaurants in London and Cairo, a customized collection for a new Egyptian design brand, and special pieces for clients in Paris, Mexico, and Geneva. Organic sconces installations for the first gastronomic Egyptian restaurant by the Pyramids and trying to develop new furniture for a wood specialist that combines my signature Egyptian alabaster with a new material while trying to hold the extreme simplicity of the shapes I like but still engage an active bond with the user and open multiple story lines.

What you absolutely must have in your studio: The only thing I absolutely must have is my health, then a clear mind, some light, mineral water, a pen, paper and an eraser. Otherwise if I have to get bougie about it, I’d say a washed, peeled and sliced seasonal fruit, a daybed, a good pillow, a variety of semi-precious stones, a Diptyque or Mizensir candle, music by Erik Satie, Madonna, or Jane Birkin depending on the mood, Apartamento magazines, and anything from Yvon Lambert’s library in Paris.

What you do when you’re not working: I try to sleep.

Swedish industrial designer and furniture maker Axel Einar Hjorth was instrumental in introducing Scandinavian design to America in the 1920s. Now, this simple yet perfectly formed 1930s console table will be showcased by Paris and Los Angeles gallerist Carole Decombe.

The influence of French designer Jean Royère can’t be underestimated, and securing an original piece from one of the masters of interior and furniture design is a major notch for collectors. This 1950s brass and patina mirroredtop pedestal table was purchased directly by the gallery from the family it was privately made for.

Jean Derval started his career as a graphic designer before segueing into ceramic art, which speaks to his tendency to craft representational objects of animals and people. This 1955 signed ceramic vase is shown by Monoco gallery Lebreton.

American architect and interior designer Samuel Marx often used burlwood in his designs for occasion tables, desks and bedside tables. This 1945 console combines lucite, a then-new material that was gaining popularity for its crystal-clear, futuristic appearance.

This art deco-inspired cabinet has its origins in a cigarette case that Salvagni – the Italian architect and designer with offices in Rome, London and New York – discovered in the collection of the last Holkar Maharaja of Indore, scaling it up and reimaging it as a contemporary cabinet crafted in parchment, bronze and lacquer.

Beginning his career as a blacksmith, Finnish designer Paavo Tynell went on to found his own company, named Taito Oy, and became a collaborator of Alvar Aalto. He continued working with metal throughout his career and this elegant 1940s lamp is made from brass and leather with a wooden slatted shade.

Known for his abstract expressionist paintings, often in black paint, this is a rare example of a textile work by the artist, made even more remarkable by its softer brown and cream colour palette. This 1960 tapestry, two of an edition of seven, was produced by Ateliers Pinton, the tapestry and rug specialist founded in 1867 that has collaborated with many fine artists over the years.

Brooklyn-based Katie Stout’s design remit is far-reaching, and includes marble, wood, glass and ceramics. The red thread is humour and irreverence, and every joyful piece has a function. These glazed ceramic vases combine her painterly approach with pragmatism.

Phoenix Ancient Art and Hicham Aboutaam Show for the Sixth Time at the Salon Art + Design Fair

NEW YORK, Nov. 09, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) Back for the sixth time, Phoenix Ancient Art and Hicham Aboutaam will bring exquisite ancient artworks to the Park Avenue Armory in a masterfully designed display at the Salon Art + Design show from Nov. 10-14, 2022.

The stand will feature the latest installation entitled "UNITED NATIONS OF FACES", which is made up of two walls of world-class ancient heads and masks from an array of different cultures and mediums.

Hicham Aboutaam, President of Electrum, the exclusive agent for Phoenix Ancient Art, Geneva, says, "I have always been attracted to ancient faces as they are a glimpse of the people and cultures of the past. Among them are Celtic, Etruscan, African, and Sabaean. This idea of mixing these faces in one display is a perfect tribute to today's age of diversity and inclusion. It's also a praise to the Salon Art and Design show and its ability to successfully mix the styles and flavors of so many different galleries under one roof."

Another highlight in the fair will be an extraordinarily rare and large Nubian vase from the famous Erlenmeyer collection and published in 1969. Painted ceramics were one of the most important avenues of artistic expression in the Meroitic period. Many of these vessels include symbolism of Egyptian inspiration.

In the center of the booth, there will be a Graeco-Roman bronze table from the first century. The style is outstanding and elaborate and certainly inspired the sculptural modeling of modern masters such as Alberto and Diego Giacometti. The legs of the table are richly adorned with the heads of wolves and there are silver and niello inlays throughout which show the taste for luxury and exotic decoration in Roman society. The table has been in New York since 1946 and published in 1948.

The Salon Art + Design will be open to the public from Nov. 11 - 14, 2022, at the Park Avenue Armory at 66th Street, New York. (stand B9)

Agenda de eventos: qué hacer este fin de semana

Arte y diseño en el Salon Art + Design

Salon Art + Design, la feria líder en diseño y arte coleccionable producida por Sanford L. Smith + Associates, regresa para su 11ª edición al Park Avenue Armory (643 Park Avenue) del 10 al 14 de noviembre. Con 52 expositores excepcionales, el evento dará la bienvenida a decenas de galerías internacionales para presentar el diseño líder en el mundo: vintage, moderno y contemporáneo, y arte de primer nivel del siglo XX. Durante más de una década, Salon Art + Design se ha convertido en la plataforma elegida para exhibir, experimentar, coleccionar y discutir diseño y arte. Para más información: thesalonny.com

With tapestries and jewelry on display at the Park Avenue Armory in Manhattan, the fair makes you question the boundaries of art-versusdesign.

Salon Art + Design is more international this year, gaining back exhibitors from abroad who were reluctant or unable to travel during the pandemic. But home is still the focus of this annual fair at the Park Avenue Armory in Manhattan: not just art and design objects displayed in isolation, but imagining how they live together, how they inhabit a room and how you or a daydreaming you could cozy up with your furniture, tapestries, jewelry and curios.

https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/10/arts/design/salon-art-design-fair-park-avenue-armory.html

The objects on view here span millenniums from around 5,000 B.C.E. to the present as well as vast cultures and continents. Fifty-two exhibitors and 11 special installations (mostly in the hallway outside the cavernous drill hall) skew more heavily toward design than earlier years, but the fair makes you question the boundaries of artversus-design. Why not wear your art? Why not sit on it? Here are some highlights of the fair, which previews Thursday, and runs Friday to Monday.

Tapestries

Tapestries are everywhere here. Generally woven and hung on the wall like a painting, some of the examples here were designed by painters and others by artists dedicated to fiber and textile arts. One of the standouts is a tapestry by Vasily Kandinsky at Boccara (Booth D10), created after a painting made during the early 1940s and fabricated in 1944. The composition is reminiscent of other late, playful works by Kandinsky that were recently on view in the revelatory Guggenheim show of his work. Boccara is also showing three deeply colored tapestries designed by the Ukraine-born modern master Sonia Delaunay. Wexler (Booth B3) has a tapestry by Jan Yoors, a BelgianAmerican artist who wove the tapestries (or, to be more accurate, his two wives helped execute his designs; a recent New York Magazine feature about the artist’s home in Greenwich Village told the tale of his unconventional life and art).

At Magen H (Booth A12), a beautiful creamy beige tapestry or “carpet sculpture” from 1977 by Nicole Noailles Lascaux was made by shaving the wool to create a textured relief. Meanwhile, at Friedman Benda (Booth B1), Misha Kahn’s playful, humorous tapestry has curving forms that consciously mimic pasta the work’s title is “Spaghettification: Tested by Throwing Against Wall” (2020). These are displayed alongside some noteworthy ceramic “Portraits” by the Nigerian artist Ebitenyefa Baralaye, which highlight or celebrate Black facial features including those of people close to him, like his father.

Jewelry

If you want to explore minerals displayed like sculpture, you can do so at Wilensky in a hallway gallery outside the main cluster of fair booths. However, if you want to see jewelry designed by artists the subject of a recent New York auction head to the London dealer Didier at the southern end of the hallway. Didier is showing jewelry designed for family, lovers, or friends by Picasso, Niki de Saint Phalle, Man Ray, Salvador Dalí, Alberto Giacometti, Wifredo Lam and Meret Oppenheim. As this art historical roster suggests, the jewelry slants toward the surrealistic. A good example is a giant gold puffer fish necklace designed by Max Ernst that could be worn around the neck.

https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/10/arts/design/salon-art-design-fair-park-avenue-armory.html

Architecture and Design

You can find much fine furniture here, but some of the items that caught my attention were somewhat odder. Right inside the fair, Bernard Goldberg Fine Arts (Booth D1) has discovered a huge stained-glass window designed and fabricated by Nicola D’Ascenzo in the late 1920s for a Horn & Hardart restaurant actually an automat in downtown Philadelphia. Unlike stained-glass windows in a church or the more sculptural efforts of contemporaries like Louis Comfort Tiffany or John La Farge D’Ascenzo’s window includes clear panes you can see through and emphasizes, in a modern way, its flatness. At R & Company (Booth D23) at the end of the drill hall, Serban Ionescu has created an architectural folly he calls “Tower For an Hour.” The tall green steel structure, fabricated in his Red Hook, Brooklyn, workshop, recalls everything from antique stove chimneys to 1980s furniture by the Memphis Group. It also borrows Jean Prouvé’s idea of the “Demountable House”: a small dwelling designed for people displaced after World War II, which could be easily assembled, or “demounted” and moved.

Ancient and Ethnographic Art

I am reluctant to highlight ancient and so-called ethnographic artifacts, given the battles that rage around the ownership and the repatriation of objects to their countries of origin. The art dealers in this fair are obviously keyed into these debates and happily (obligingly?) discussed these issue with me. At Phoenix Ancient Art (Booth B9), Hicham Aboutaam, whose father founded the gallery in 1968, has set up a dazzling display of busts that highlight a range of faces from around the world, including Greek, Etruscan, South Arabian (Yemeni), Cypriot and African sculptural heads. It also creates the argument that diversity was just as much a hot topic in the ancient world as it is today. Phoenix is also showing a small, luminous marble Cycladic fertility figure from around 2,500 B.C.E., with her arms crossed over her pregnant belly. Pace African and Oceanic Art (Booth B5) is also showing a collection of heads masks, technically from a variety of cultures. At Ariadne (Booth C1), an ancient Greek terra-cotta Aphrodite from the 3rd or 2nd century B.C.E., formerly owned by the Antikenmuseum Basel, assumes a bashful stance, known as the “Venus pudica” pose. Who wouldn’t feel a bit exposed, standing just off Park Avenue, greeting visitors to the fair?

What We Loved at Salon Art + Design

The hotly anticipated collectible design fair's 11th edition presents a headspinning array of ambitious one-off and limited-edition pieces.

The fanciful booths at Salon Art + Design, New York's leading collectible design fair, have always felt more akin to living rooms than white cubes. Held annually at the landmark Park Avenue Armory, the showcase offers a trove of vintage, modern, and contemporary design intermixed with blue-chip artworks. The hotly anticipated fair's 11th edition is no different, welcoming 52 international exhibitors presenting an eclectic mix of objects that speak to what architects and interior designers are thinking about today. Our editor selected six highlights from the fair, which runs through Nov. 14.

https://www.surfacemag.com/articles/salon-art-design-2022-highlights/amp/

Ron Arad for Opera Gallery

One of the British-Israeli multihyphenate's most notable pieces, the dramatically rotund Big Easy chair is newly rendered in six solid resin colorways the first of many material experiments to come between Arad and Opera Gallery.

https://www.surfacemag.com/articles/salon-art-design-2022-highlights/amp/

Serban Ionescu for R & Company

The Romanian designer's whimsically unbound work often feels as though it's igniting a furniture rebellion, and his newly unveiled architectural folly Tower for an Hour (2022) a 22-foot-tall assemblage of 23 painted steel components challenges what's possible for galleries to exhibit in a collectible design fair.

Djivan S chapira for Todd Merrill Studio

Inspired by all things related to fictional space adaptations, the ascendant New Jersey furniture designer and twotime NYCxDesign Award winner debuts the Solar Sailer console whose concrete base is supported by a luminous resin oval support leg with optical light flares.

Refractory

The entire Colonel's Room is dedicated to Angie West and Alberto Velez's up-and-coming Chicago-based studio, which presents an assortment of rigorously crafted earth-toned furniture, lighting, and accessories that celebrate the imperfections often brought about by cast bronze.

Gulla Jonsdottir for Wexler Gallery

The plush, alpaca-upholstered Crater Sofa's silhouettes replicate childhood visions of the award-winning architect and designer's native Iceland, where she remembers being captivated by the bowl-shaped remnants of volcanic eruptions.

Klove Studio are creating glass and light alchemy with their mesmerising designs

In the latest of our Designer Q&A series, Effect speaks to New Delhi’s Klove Studio about their otherworldly and unforgettable light sculptures

https://magazine.thebrunoeffect.com/klove-studio-mesmerising-designs/

We first encountered the work of New Delhi’s Klove Studio when previewing images from an upcoming design fair. Mixed among pictures of iconic work from some of the finest designers from the past few centuries, Klove’s Totems Over Time immediately jumped out, and we found ourselves unable to tear our eyes away from their collection. Sculptural lighting is one of the most exciting intersections between art and design, and there is no doubt that Klove is one of the most exciting studios to be found there.

The studio – founded by Prateek Jain and Gautam Seth – approach their work with a rare fearlessness and originality, each collection centred around a core idea like musicians creating a concept album. And while the pieces are freighted with talismanic resonance and almost transcendental ideas that makes them thrilling, they are also stunningly beautiful creations that need no interpretation to enjoy experiencing them. Here’s what co-founder Prateek Jain had to say:

How would you describe the ethos of Klove St udio?

A lot of work we do in our practice reflects what Gautam and I are drawn to as individuals. It’s an exploration of subjects we like to read, see and understand. Our voyage began with a desire for perfection in mastering form and the application of light as the main medium that transforms spatial design. You see, the art and the artisans are very integral to Klove and to us. What you see today has been a culmination of years and years of effort and hard work. We believe in our people and the same is reciprocated. That’s where the synergy lies. Nothing of what we produce would be possible without our artisans who work so hard back in Ambala where our factory stands.

“Blowing glass is a method that dates back to ancient times but has developed over time into a magnificent form of art. At Klove, we support Indian local craftsmen and produce homegrown items to build on the legacy of glassblowing.”

Blowing glass is a method that dates back to ancient times but has developed over time into a magnificent form of art. At Klove, we support Indian local craftsmen and produce homegrown items to build on the legacy of glassblowing. We encourage slow design handcrafted in India and artisanal craftsmanship.

How did you and Gautam first come to work together?

Gautam and I are partners first and Klove came into existence because of our love and respect for each other.

https://magazine.thebrunoeffect.com/klove-studio-mesmerising-designs/

What was the inspiration and thinking behind your incredible Totems Over Time collection? Just before we did Totems Over Time, we did a collection called Shamanic Soul. In that collection, we explored the life of a travelling gypsy. It was from then that our interest in symbols and totems got deeper.

The collection is artistically constructed to re-imagine age-old symbols of social and sacred relevance. It features exquisite structures that are brought to life by combining glass and metal to create a series of installations that turn the clock back a century. Each piece in the collection is inspired by tribal iconography and themes.

Without really referencing any particular culture, we wanted to create our own totems to see if we could create totems that evoke specific emotions. The series includes a harmonic mix of geometry and symmetry, evoking the wilderness of nature while sticking to the modern discipline of Art Deco. It is a celebration of how civilisations leave their imprint on history for all to see. It took us a year to design four such totems.

What is it about the possibilities of light and glass that excited you as a designer?

Klove Studio was established with the intention of experimenting with objects and light, and investigating its form in various dimensions. It is beyond beautiful witnessing blown glass take shape. Every item changes characteristics with the amalgamation of lighting concepts and artistic execution. The beauty of glass is that it can take on any shape that your imagination may conjure up.

https://magazine.thebrunoeffect.com/klove-studio-mesmerising-designs/

The studio has experience and knowledge in a variety of areas, with a particular emphasis on lighting installations and sculptural items. Since its inception, Klove has celebrated India’s craft sector and local craftsmen; all of our goods are handcrafted by talented glass blowers.

AKlovesculpturallightfromtheirGoacollection,inspiredbythe‘wondersandmysteriesoftheiconic1970sera’ofGoa’stropical paradise

The intersection between light and glass investigates the relationship between function and form as embodied in spatial design which then continues on to personify emotion in our human form.

“It is a celebration of how civilisations leave their imprint on history for all to see”

PrateekJainofKloveStudio

Is there a material you haven’t yet used but would like to? Predominantly we have worked with blown glass and metal but we have also had the opportunity to explore the utilization of good fabrics and rattan, in some of the installations. However, as designers, we would love to work with porcelain in the near future.

https://magazine.thebrunoeffect.com/klove-studio-mesmerising-designs/

‘LinearGoa’ – alightinstallationfromKloveStudio’sGoacollection

Do you remembe r the first thing you made?

Oh Yes. The first product that we had created was a blown glass teardrop which we explored in fabric materials stone and metal mesh.

EaglelightandblownglasssculpturebyKloveStudios

Is there another designer or studio’s work you particularly admire? We appreciate the brilliance of the Campana brothers, the structuralism of Tom Dickson, and the minimalism of Philippe Starck.

What does exhibiting at Salon Art + Design mean to you? We are very excited to be a part of this exhibition, where we will be showcasing three items from our Totems Over Time collection, which reimagines historical symbols of social and religious importance. Salon Art + Design will be our very first show in New York and the United States. The show is highly regarded and to be in that company is very exhilarating. We look forward to being surrounded by an international arena of this calibre and are honoured to have been invited to share our art with the world.

Open Art Fair set to spring back into action

The Open Art Fair is set to return next spring. Part owned by BADA (British Antique Dealers’ Association), it is scheduled to run in a purpose-built marquee in Duke of York Square, Chelsea, from April 19-23.

With space for around 75 exhibitors, the basic blueprint in terms of size and location matches the fair’s abortive inaugural 2020 edition and the BADA Fair it replaced.

Thomas Woodham-Smith and Harry van der Hoorne remain at the helm, with BADA retaining a 20% stake. The trade association is also in charge of the vetting.

However, key di erences are the dates, which set it a month later than previous stagings, and the length of the fair, now ve rather than seven days.

The rst Open Art Fair opened on the cusp of the rst lockdown in 2020 and was

Feature Design post-1860

PAD London returns for its 14th staging at Berkeley Square, London, coinciding as usual with Frieze Week. The fair runs from October 10-16 and brings together 67 galleries o ering 20th century and contemporary design as well as tribal art.

Eighteen newcomers join this edition, but many familiar international faces will be there too, including Lucas Ratton of France, Vertes from Switzerland and Portuondo Gallery, which has o ces in UK, the US and Spain.

Themes this year include young designers and sustainable designs with other highlights on heritage and historic French craftsmanship.

Last year PAD London was cancelled as cases of coronavirus rose and restrictions on travel and events continued.

Patrick Perrin, founder and CEO of PAD fairs, said: “It is a joy to be back in London.” padesignart.com

1. Though PAD includes some historic designs, most are Post-war or Contemporary. For example, Adrian Sassoon brings A Pair of Memory Vessels made by Bouke de Vries. One, in Contemporary glass, contains the collected remains of a late 17th century Kangxi Chinese porcelain vase with cover, in a new style that follows the original form, and is offered with its pair for £25,000

2 H Blairman & Sons brings an electrolier designed and manufactured by WAS Benson (1854-1924), the English architect and designer known for his domestic lighting. This creation, c.1900, makes use of silvered brass and glass by Powell of Whitefriars. It is offered for £45,000

3. Priced at £18,200 by Modernity, this armchair model 4488 was designed in 1931 by Kaare Klint for Rud Rasmussen. It is completed in mahogany with Brazilian rosewood inlays, woven cane and black horsehair upholstery with leather piping.

4. Poul Henningsen (1894-1967) was a Danish author, critic and architect, and also one of the leading Danish designers in the inter-war years. Best known for the PH-lamp, he also designed this 1959 piece Light of the Future, which features a similar series of shaped shades. One of 20 examples commissioned, it was produced in painted and cast aluminium and porcelain by Louis Poulsen. It is available for £100,000 from Rose Uniacke

Salon Art + Design puts the emphasis on the eclectic nature of its o ering, bringing together vintage, modern and contemporary design and setting it against 20th century art.

Its 11th staging runs from November 10-14 at the Park Avenue Armory in New York City.

Jill Bokor, executive director, says: “After a highly successful, though smaller, fair in 2021, we look forward to the return of many of the international galleries who were unable to participate because of the pandemic.

“This year galleries from the UK, France, Sweden and China will return, joined by newcomers from Los Angeles, Texas, Egypt, France and New York.”

Exhibitors include Ariadne Galleries from the US o ering antiquities, Galerie Marcilhac of France with 20th century decorative arts and the UK’s Gallery FUMI with Contemporary British and European design.

Among the newcomers are Galerie Yves Gastou , Le Lab Atelier and Galerie Artempo thesalonny.com

Incollect Dealers Shine at Salon Art + Design

Salon Art + Design

Park Avenue Armory 9643 Park Avenue, New York, through November 14

Open now through November 14, the much-admired Salon Art + Design at New York’s Park Avenue Armory once again presents a collection of covetable, collectible objects from many of the world’s best design galleries. This year, 52 international dealers are on the floor with a new and distinctive accent on design galleries from outside Europe and America an exciting opportunity to discover previously unseen treasures.

Back again are many of the design world’s most prestigious dealers, many of whom display both art as well as design in their booths, along with a mix of vintage and contemporary pieces all of which make hunting the fair for that special purchase all the more pleasurable. As always, Incollect dealers brought their best, leading the pack with offerings of extraordinary, breathtaking beauty.

No one can or should miss the Lobel Modern booth, which beckons from the front right side of the fair with a selection of extraordinary individual pieces by gallery favorites Philip and Kelvin Laverne, including a

https://www.incollect.com/articles/incollect-dealers-shine-at-the-2022-salon-art-design-in-new-york

monumental, dreamy one-of-a-kind mirror in hand-welded patinated bronze, and an important 1970s sculptural dining table purchased directly from Kelvin Laverne. Brutalist pieces from Paul Evans include a pair of patchwork cube lounge chairs and a spectacular and rare cabinet from the artist's "Argente" series.

Donzella also has important pieces by the Lavernes, including a unique and monumental "Synchronicity" sculpture. Vintage Italian lighting by Max Ingrand for Fontana Arte is on display, along with fine vintage furniture by Italian makers Oswaldo Borsani and Gianfranco Frattini all of which are now design classics. Donzella mixes in a selection of contemporary ceramics, a special passion of his. This year, vintage works from the 1970s are prevalent, and Wexler Gallery has a Jan Yoors hand-knotted wool “Purple Tantra Tapestry” from 1976 which is both fabulous and unexpected.

Sculptural tables abound throughout the fair this year. Liz O’Brien is showing Peter Lane’s bubbly, futuristic “Cabochon Low Table”, made of glazed ceramic stoneware with palladium leafed details on a steel base. Ceramic stoneware is used in Isabelle Sicart and Francesco Balzano’s “Uccelli”, a brilliantly inventive three-module side table at Galerie Carole Decombe the pieces can be arranged in any way, giving the overall structure a marvelous versatility and unique sculptural identity.

While truly fine vintage pieces are becoming increasingly rare, contemporary design is exploding in a creative renaissance, and the works of contemporary collectible design at Salon are remarkable in scope and execution. Some booths, like that of Todd Merrill STUDIO, are entirely contemporary in orientation and freely mix together contemporary art, sculpture and design. But standout vintage pieces are also well represented, and notable examples include a bookshelf/wall unit from 1945 by Gio Ponti at Karl Kemp Antiques, several fabulous Nakashima pieces at Moderne Gallery as well as Converso, where they also have a faceted Paul Evans console from circa 1970.

The legs executed in a design of a reeded plaster terminating in a lions paw. Re-creation of a Greek table from a kylix of the 5th century B.C. Tables of this type are often depicted alongside couches for dining and the advantage of the three legs is in it's stability on an uneven floor.

Boccara Gallery New York specializes in extraordinary tapestries - historic, vintage and contemporary, and is showing several rare tapestries by Alexander Calder, Wassily Kandinsky, Sonia Delaunay and other famous modern artists. They stand out for their astonishing quality and beauty as well as being completely different from nearly everything else on display. The gallery has paired them cleverly with sculptural furniture by Jean-Yves Lanvin, a brilliant designer whose covetable objects range from sculptural and shimmering mirror-polished cast brass coffee tables to creations in rock crystal.

Tambaran and Throckmorton Fine Art have memorable historical works of art, including, at Throckmorton, late Neolithic period jade disks from the Liangzhu culture in China alongside photographs by Graciela Iturbide, Malick Sidibe as well as others. Mixing of contemporary and historical material is increasingly prevalent at the art and design fairs, mirroring the prevailing aesthetic in interior design.

Among the new dealers at Salon this year are Le LAB from Cairo, Egypt, presenting a collection of alabaster objects, along with Klove Studio, based in New Delhi, a duo of makers, Prateek Jain and Gautam Seth, who create totem-like sculpture for walls, enormous, luminous objects made of precious metals and gemstones.

CHRIS SCHANCK | LIVING BETWEEN THE PRACTICAL AND T HE BEAUTIFUL

Whoever said that furniture can only be practical has not met Chris Schanck. The Detroit-based artist and furniture designer constantly toes the line between art and furniture, sculpture and chair. Schanck believes that disciplinary boundaries are to be pushed and genres to be blended, especially when it comes to his own designs.

Schanck will present new sculptural works with Friedman Benda at this years Salon Art + Design from November 11 to 15. His distinctive bright colors, odd shapes, and out-of-the-box use of materials have brought attention to Schanck, who has mastered the practice of bringing out unconventional beauty from the strangest places. For the 10th anniversary of the fair, Schanck will showcase a new cast mirror in anticipation of his retrospective at the Museum of Arts and Design in New York this upcoming February.

Flaunt had the chance to speak with Schanck and talk about all things Friedman Benda, navigating between art and design, and even his favorite piece of work.

How does it feel to be a part of Friedman Benda’s exhibition for the 10th anniversary of Salon Art + Design?

I feel grateful to be in the right place at the right time. This is an occasion to celebrate the collective efforts of all those who have labored with love to bring this fair to us over the past ten years. A time to recognize all the galleries that have committed to fill the Salon’s pavilion with their best offerings over the past decade. I believe the Salon goes beyond transactional relationships. It’s an annual cultural event that brings our odd little world together. A chance to connect with colleagues IRL we’ve only known through digital media. Most of all, the fair is now a part of the city's DNA. It opens its doors to the curious newcomer and expert alike to experience the spirit of design today.

Who else’s work are you excited to see at the anniversary celebration?

I’m in love with Shari Mendelson’s work. I believe their work is an enchanting bridge between our collective ancestral past and our littered present day from which Mendelson gathers their material. The work is imperfectly beautiful, reminiscent of ancient Greek artifacts, handmade, and finished in soft industrial palettes of blues, greens, and transparent milky whites. All which seems charming enough on first appearances but approach with caution, this work has sharp edges. It reminds us of where we come from and prompts us to consider where we’re headed or may have already arrived. What more can one ask of a single artist? They are of this moment and they have my admiration.

https://archive.flaunt.com/content/chris-schanck

How do you navigate between being an artist & a furniture designer?

I navigate between the two disciplines by following and listening to my own curiosity and intuition. From my earliest memories, I’ve always imagined I would become an artist. I could not know what form that would take over my 45 plus years of life. My foundation was built on the history and basic principles of the fine arts and design. Yet for some reason perhaps some good ones we find ourselves trying to distinguish and separate art from design. In a lay world, we could say design is a rational and utilitarian practice while the fine arts is an intuitive pursuit of beauty and meaningfulness. Or plainly put one is meant to be handled and used while the other is meant to be gazed and meditated upon from a distance. Consider that within the fine arts own historical critical cannon it was at one time best believed to keep the mediums wholly separated, out of fear of diluting them. But who now would deny the value and power of a fine arts practice mixed and multi-layered in diverse mediums?

A competent creative person can hold two ideas in their mind at the same time. Creative borders and boundaries are meant to be stress tested so that new forms and genres can emerge to more accurately describe our present day. Like the great songwriter said ‘The Times They Are A-Changin.’

The chair you designed doubles as a sculpture and a form of seating do you think of your designs first as practical or as being visually appealing?

A chair is first experienced with sight and then explored with the body. The combined experience is the power of design.

You have an upcoming retrospective at the Museum of Arts and Design in NY that opens in February of next year. What can we look forward to seeing from you then?

Hopefully growth. It’s an homage to the mentors of my youth, my present day community, and a meditation on our fragile present day.

https://archive.flaunt.com/content/chris-schanck

CourtesyofFriedmanBendaandChrisSchanck.PhotographybyClareGatto.

Finally, do you have a favorite piece that you’ve worked on?

The Mum chandelier the power of art is whatever you will it to be. In this case, it was to make a collaborative piece with my mum. To heal and bond a relationship and mentorship separated years ago. In one hundred years no one is likely to remember my name, but my time here and now with my family, friends, and dreams of my work is the best way I know how to experience this world- my work is my faith.

Last night, Salon Art + Design, produced by Sanford Smith + Associates, opened with a night of celebration for its 11th edition. Just over 2,500 visitors flowed into the Park Avenue Armory throughout the evening to preview a selection of the world’s finest design – vintage, modern and contemporary – enhanced by blue-chip 20th century art.

Salon Art + Design now open at the Park Avenue Armory

Salon Art + Design, which features leading art and design galleries from all over the world, opened yesterday at the Park Avenue Armory, with show dates continuing through Monday, November 14th. The fair, produced by Sanford L. Smith + Associates, presents the world’s best design – vintage, modern and contemporary –enhanced by blue-chip 20th century art as well as antiquities.

SalonArt+Design,opentothepublicfromNovember10-14,2022attheParkAvenueArmoryinNYC.

What I find especially engaging with this fair is that many of the participating galleries showcase their fine art, decorative art, and furniture within environments – as opposed to isolated objects simply on display – allowing the visitor to imagine how one might “curate” one’s own home. For example, this view of the Donzella Ltd. booth features ceramics by Salvatore Meli, a chandelier by Max Ingrand, along with a collection of furniture, side tables, lamps, and more.

The range of art is quite extreme, as you can see from the examples below: at left, a Kenny Scharf painting on view with Opera Gallery, at right, a late 19th/early 20th century mask from the Ivory Coast on view with Pace African & Oceanic Art Gallery. The eclectic range continued with everything from jewelry by Salvador Dali to an unusual chess set by Aaron Decker made with gold, wool felt and garnet sand, among other materials … I’ll have more on these objects and other booth views coming soon, but wanted to post this now with the encouragement to get to Salon Art + Design at the Park Avenue Armory this weekend if possible and see it all for yourself!

Salon Art + Design held its 11th opening night on Thursday, welcoming over 2,500 visitors to the Park Avenue Armory. Gallerists and visitors remarked on how, with less COVID restrictions, many international exhibitors had returned to the fair, giving a huge boost of energy to the evening. Co-chaired by Nathalie and Laura de Gunzburg, proceeds from opening night benefitted Dia Art Foundation.

"We have a very strong design ethos at Dia; we have a very particular style, stance and brand, so the idea of partnering with design makes a lot of sense for us," said Dia Director Jessica Morgan.

A who's who of the design world, including editors, collectors, architects and designers arrived at the very beginning of the champagne preview, 4 PM, to beat the crowds. Amy Astley, Muriel Brandolini, Renee Rockefeller, Rena Sindi, Tony Ingrao, Pietro Cicognani, Jane Krakowski and David Rockwell browsed the booths in search of perfect pieces for their clients or themselves.

"Everyone is so excited to be back," said Liz O'Brien, who was showcasing a petal ceiling light by Stephen Antonson, commissioned especially for the occasion. "The fair has a great international feel, and great energy."

"This fair is really very intense for New York collectors," said Aline Chastel of Paris' Galerie Chastel Marechal. "We have a rare pair of armchairs by Jean-Michel Frank, made very early in his career, in 1927. We also have a fantastic, rare, special order lamp by Jean Despres, and a collection of Line Vautrin mirrors. There has already been lots of interest."

Benoist Drut, the owner of Maison Gerard, had the same optimistic feeling.

"It's the first time in a long time that people have been responsive to our pre-fair emails," said Drut. "Tonight is going to be a madhouse - we like that."

Drut was showing a curved sofa by Georgis & Migorodsky that was the hit of the fair. Upholstered in green velvet, with rounded side tables attached, it was the epitome of chic, admired by designers Alex Papachristidis and Richard Mishaan and collector George Farias.

At Cristina Grajales, iconic photographer Firooz Zahedi had three of his works on view.

"These photos were from slides that I took in the 80's," said Zahedi. "One of my slides had been damaged by moisture and the colors ran in to each other, creating these beautiful images. So I decided to damage a bunch of old slides on purpose - and sure enough the colors melded into each other." Two of the images were of James Dean in Giant, photographed from a television set, and the third was of a model who looked like Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.

Zahedi, who will be signing copies of his latest book at the Grajales booth on Saturday, was walking the fair with his wife, highly respected collector Beth DeWoody.

"I've seen some great things here tonight," said DeWoody. "For example, Lynn Chadwick candlesticks, and a little Cesar sculpture, at Le Breton, a gallery from Monaco which I love. Also, Randy Palumbo's Love Sack at Cristina Grajales is amazing, and The Future Perfect is selling these wonderful heads by LA-based artist Eric Roinestad."

New Delhi-based Klove Studio was showing three spectacular totems, intricate light fixtures representing protection, abundance and beauty.

"It's our first time exhibiting in New York," said Klove Studio's Gautam Seth. "Each year we do a series of different totems."

The Salon Art + Design will be on view through November 14.

Sights Seen at Salon Art + Design 2022

klove studio Represents India At The Salon Art+Design In New York

The acclaimed series “Totems Over Time” by klove studio will have a selection of glowing sculptures on display this fall at Salon Art + Design, which runs from November 10 to 14 in New York.

The stunning constructions in the Totems Over Time collection are brought to life with the use of glass, metal, and gold to create a sequence of installations that span a century. The items are handmade artistically to reinterpret historic symbols with social and religious importance. Each Totem incorporates art deco-inspired shapes and crisp lines while also conjuring up indigenous symbolism and patterns. In this collection, Prateek and Gautam reinvent historical power symbols to create fresh interpretations of the sacred. They make references to the existence of an ambiguous deity, one that stands for spirituality in modern times.

Gautam Seth and Prateek Jain create things with meaning. Klove Studio was created in 2005 as a result of a desire to investigate the relationship between glass, light, and craftsmanship. For more than 15 years, the New Delhibased duo has been creating lit sculptures for Indian homes and businesses.

According to Gautam Seth, co-founder and designer of klove studio, “Totem Over Time entirely absorbs the space in which it is situated, leaving a lasting and profound impression on everyone who encounters it”.

According to Prateek Jain, cofounder, and designer of klove studio, “We think that our collection attempts to constantly explore the bonds that unite humanity through approaches that deepen our involvement with our senses. ”

The Salon Art + Design exhibits the latest trends in collectible design and hosts renowned art and design galleries from around the globe. The area showcases the best designs from all around the world, including classic, contemporary, and modern items that are complemented by high-end works of art from the 20th century.

Art Fair 14C taking place in Jersey City

In addition to the Salon Art + Design fair taking place in the Park Avenue Armory this weekend, the Jersey City Armory is hosting the 4th edition of Art Fair 14C. The name “14C” is a wink to the “which exit? (on the Turnpike or Garden State Parkway)” joke about New Jersey, but the goal is to strengthen and support local artists, arts organizations and businesses, according to the 14C website. The fair opened Thursday night with a VIP reception, and continues open to the public through tomorrow, November 13th.

I have to admit, I’m a little confused by 14C’s stated mission of promoting the local arts scene, considering that over the past couple of years, they’ve expanded their reach to include galleries from around the country and world. This year’s roster of exhibitors includes galleries from Brooklyn NY, Kensington MD, San Anselmo CA, and Cleveland OH, as well as international galleries from Australia, Greece, and Brazil. I remember once reading about a goal of getting art lovers used to only being in NYC to take a PATH train across the Hudson River to see that there’s also a thriving art scene in Jersey City – and it certainly still has that ambition, but at any rate, let’s not spend too much time on this geographical debate. The art at this fair is engaging, no matter where it comes from.

Below are two examples of booths at this year’s fair: at left, Levitate Creative Services from Jersey City, featuring art by Mustart; and at right, paintings by French-born, NY-based artist Marie Seguret.

There’s plenty to see at Art Fair 14C, and I’ll be back with more pictures and info about some of my favorite artists in the show, but in the meantime, if you’d like to try to get there to see the show this weekend, you can get more information here on show hours, location, and directions on how to get there.

EXCLUSIVE: Jill Bokor & The Salon: Art + Design

Once again New York City is hosting the Salon: Art & Design, the premiere fine art event showcasing the best galleries and designers from around the world, specially curated by invitation to join together in this fascinating and highly anticipated event. Over two thousand five hundred people attended the grand opening. At the helm is Jill Bokor, her exceptionally trained eye and years of experience makes her the perfect Executive Director, calmly standing in the eye of the storm while orchestrating the year’s biggest event.

We had the opportunity to chat with Ms. Bokor, about the special occasion and what visitors can expect to enjoy.

What are you excited about for this year’s Salon Art + Design event?

I am excited that after a mostly domestic fair last year we can welcome many international galleries both old and new. The Salon has always been known for its geographic as well as aesthetic mix so it’s great to have that aspect informing the fair once again.

KLOVE: Abundance Totem

Will there be new galleri es showing this year?

There are a number of new galleries exhibiting at Salon this year. Three of them hail from Paris and mostly show contemporary French design. Another, our first, is from Egypt and will show contemporary Middle Eastern design. We also welcome new American galleries from California and Texas and Florida, so visitors will be assured of a wealth of new material to enjoy.

Which exhibits are you looking forward to the most?

There is so much that I’m looking forward to. We have three jewelry installations, one of artist designed jewelry at Didier of London, and two with haute jewelry, Lauren Adriana of London and Yvel from Israel.

All of them show completely discrete work. I used to have an art and jewelry gallery so that’s one of the things I can’t wait to see.

Y ou usually feature a couple of interesting sponsors for the show.

Who can attendees expect to see?

Along with the jewelry installations mentioned above, we have a wonderful display of the world’s finest minerals from Wilensky. Visitors will also enjoy the furniture line launched by Charles Zana, France’s leading architect and interior designer. Amy Lau, one of our top domestic designers is showcasing brutalism in a stunning installation fittingly called “Beauty in Brutalism.”

And whether a visitor can buy or not, we encourage you to engage with our highly specialized and knowledgeable exhibitors about what is happening in the world of modern and contemporary design.

Wilensky Minerals Gallery showcase precious crystals as art sculptures

The New York based gallery’s fall 2022 minerals design exhibition platforms an assortment of rare crystals acquired from different parts of the world.

From a star-studded universe to an intricately designed ecosystem, nature’s , creations are unmatched works of art. Among its awe-inspiring natural conceptions are the distinctive crystals, formed as a result of environmental settings and fundamental ecological aspects, which are gaining unprecedented popularity, as nature’s designed sculptures. Known for their recognisable shapes, peculiar forms, entrancing glimmer, and diverse vivid shades, they act as captivating specimens that can be easily distinguished and connected through their appertaining curves, densities, gestural forms and geometry.

New York-based Wilensky Exquisite Minerals Gallery has been observing the historic beauty and marvel, of these minerals and colourful crystals, for over three decades. Established by Stuart Wilensky, the minerals gallery has uplifted these natural objects, affording them an artistic expression of sorts. The entire lineage establishes a poetic dialogue between the beauty of these minerals and the aesthetics of contemporary interior design. The gallery, platforming an extensive and expensive variety of precious stones, fine crystals, and minerals is currently hosting its fall 2022 minerals design exhibition titled Silhouette and exhibiting a remarkable display at the iconic Salon Art + Design event in New York

As the highlight of an entrancing exhibition, Silhouette uses abstraction to emphasise form. Through the visionary disposition of conceptual photographer Evan D’Arpino, each specimen on display is captured on camera through vellum sheets. The translucent sheets, in turn, minimise most of the features of each crystal, leaving behind nothing but the overall sense of their subtle outlines and form-defining characteristics. D'Arpino additionally exposes unique traits of the minerals through this diffusion. The suppleness of the translucent vellum sheets celebrates atypical points of emphasis that are not captured with regular photography, as cameras can only focus on a horizontal plane.

D'Arpino's art photography occupies the realm between fantasy and reality through this visual alteration documenting the specimen, while also leaving their genuine state of existence open to countless possibilities. Amongst the assortment of the crystal artworks is the Tourmaline on Orthoclase, Cleavelandite and Lepidolite, which was acquired in its natural state from Minas Gerais, Brazil. The stoic highlighted crystal was recently discovered to possess an unrivalled vivid colouration. The breathtaking pink-red shades are quite unique and appear as candy canes sitting at the pinnacle of a precious gem pocket.

Furthermore, the gallery also presented a sinuously curved oxidised silver sculpture from Norway that appears to be a reflection of a netherworld object, from the dark woods. Every crystal with its captivating form and internal symmetry speaks volume about the region they have been procured from. The calcite helictites forming the Bonsai Tree sculpture were procured from Yunnan, China and is organically shaped as a bonsai tree; the quartz with rutile inclusions from the Manihar mountains of Himachal Pradesh, India tell the tale of thin rutile strands trapped inside the quartz for aeons.

Tonus français à Salon Art + Design

La 11e édition de Salon Art + Design qui a ouvert le 10 novembre au Park Avenue Armory à New York et finit ce lundi 14 novembre, a enregistré de fortes ventes malgré la hausse de l'inflation et les craintes d'une récession imminente. Le marché boursier a d'ailleurs grimpé en flèche lors de la soirée du vernissage, le S&P 500 bondissant de 5,5 %, sa meilleure performance depuis avril 2020. Ce qui a radicalement changé la foire aux 52 exposants est l’afflux de galeristes français : 10 contre 4 en 2021 et 6 avant le Covid (pour seulement trois britanniques cette année). De toute évidence, pour Armel Soyer, Carole Decombe, Chastel-Maréchal, Gabriel & Guillaume, Marcilhac, Negropontes, Scène ouverte, Yves Gastou, Maison Rapin et Thomas Fritsch-Artrium, des ventes considérables en ont été la récompense. La participation au vernissage (le même soir que la deuxième vente de la collection Allen chez Christie's), a été forte. « Quelque 2 500 personnes y ont assisté contre 1 600 l'année dernière en raison des restrictions rigoureuses liées au Covid », explique Jill Bokor, la directrice. La liste des invités était un vrai who’s who : la rédactrice en chef d'Architectural Digest, Amy Astley; l'architecte David Rockwell, à la tête de 250 personnes et qui vient de terminer la rénovation à 200 millions de dollars de l'hôtel The Boca Raton; les architectes d'intérieur Tony Ingrao, qui a récemment achevé deux maisons à l'extérieur de Moscou, Amy Lau et Susan Gutfreund. Nathalie de Gunzburg, présidente du conseil d'administration de la Dia Art Foundation, et Sabrina de Gunzburg étaient également présentes car les recettes du vernissage ont été reversées au profit de la Dia. La galerie Chastel-Maréchal a rapidement vendu un lustre de Jean Royère à un client suisse pour plus de 150 000 dollars et une table des années 1950 du même auteur à un client américain. Une fois de plus, le design emblématique du XXe siècle français a été très convoité. La galerie Marcilhac a vendu un canapé chic Jean Pascaud à armature de métal de 1932, qui avait appartenu à une danseuse étoile de l'Opéra Garnier, pour 185 000 dollars. Valerie Cueto a présenté de superbes toiles de Mark Tobey sur le stand de la galerie Gabriel & Guillaume. L’une d’elles, à 4 millions de dollars, était en discussion, rapporte l’art advisor de Manhattan. Le design le plus récent a aussi eu la cote. Charles Zana, qui a récemment terminé un restaurant à New York et travaille sur la boutique Cartier de Miami, a présenté ses œuvres sur son propre stand. « Nous avons déjà des ventes et des commandes substantielles », a-t-il déclaré. En s'installant au Salon, il vise à reproduire le succès de Jacques Grange qui avait rapidement attiré une multitude de clients américains. « Je suis la prochaine génération », conclut Zana.

Designer of the Day: Tara and Tessa Sakhi

After studying architecture around Europe, the Lebanese - Polis h sisters Tara and Tessa Sakhi established a multidisciplinary studio between Beirut and Venice, where they experiment with a diversity of recycled materials to craft sensorial interactions between interiors and collectible design. Each project the duo tak es on whether a public installation honoring Lebanon's collective memory after the deadly Beirut explosion or a series of sculptural vessels mixing Murano glass and metal waste is imbued with connection and compassion, seeking to create a sense of belong ing in an often fragmented world.

Here,weaskdesignerstotakeaselfieandgiveusaninsidelookattheirlife.

Age: 33 (Tara) and 31 (Tessa).

Occupation: Architects and designers.

Instagram: @tsakhistudio

Hometown: Beirut.

Studio location: Venice, Italy.

Describe what you make: We focus on designing social and sensorial interactions through architecture, urban installations, and collectible design. In every project, we experiment with diverse materials with recycled waste. For instance, our Jurat sculptural vessel collection explores Murano glass infused with metal waste, a material research project we've been developing for the past three years. On the other hand, our Reconciled Fragments coffee table collection uses resin with off-cuts and aggregates of recuperated stone with powder metal waste.

https://www.surfacemag.com/articles/tara-and-tessa-sakhi-designer-day/amp/

The most important thing you've designed to date: Working on our public installation Letters from Beirut moved us profoundly. The installation consisted of a 20-foot-long wall of thoughts collected from 2,000 Lebanese citizens and expats continuing the dialogue on the preservation of Lebanon's collective memory and cultural heritage post the August 4 explosion.

The wall acted as a surface for connections by engaging pedestrians visiting the Venice Architecture Biennale 2021 to pick one pouch; inside they discover both a personal message to whom they're encouraged to answer back to by email, as well as a seed a universal symbol of rebirth to plant, leaving a message of growth and hope.

Describe the problem your work solves: Nowadays, our fast-paced world leads us to a disconnected life even though we're constantly in connectivity through social media. We like to think our work triggers a sense of connection and compassion.

Describe the project you're working on now: We just curated and designed our first solo exhibition, "I Hear you Tremble," in Venice during the Italian and Venice Glass Weeks in partnership with Le LAB gallery, where we premiered our new sculpture collection Jurat inspired by archeological and cinerary urns from ancient Egypt using the noble Murano glass infused with the disregarded metal wastes from surrounding metal factories on the island. The collection encapsulates an iteration of 21 sculptures that underwent diverse intentional deformations by poking, compressing, or stretching them while observing how our controlled technique paired with the uncontrolled nature of the glass-metal material manifests in a diversity of results.

https://www.surfacemag.com/articles/tara-and-tessa-sakhi-designer-day/amp/

With this collection, we were playful in creating an illusion of time yet alluding to a contemporary object by using an experimental glass-metal amalgam. This project is the result of a material research workshop we initiated in 2017 with Murano glassblowers that helped us acquire a technique by infusing metal waste (under powder and molten state) within Murano glass at different stages of the process and at different temperature calibers, resulting in indissociable rock formation-like textures.

In search of new textures, we also experimented with local Beirut craftsmen in a series of coffee tables by recuperating stone aggregates and metal powder waste from local factories.

Our collection Reconciled Fragments focuses on collecting and recycling decomposed and fragmented materials to recompose them into one solid whole. This concept is interpreted with gathered off-cuts of marble and stone (Amazonite, Onyx, Travertine, Forest Green Marble, Rosso Damascus, and Fossil Brown), as well as aggregates of metal powder (brass, copper, and aluminum) from the surrounding local factories in Beirut. Each table is a unique piece and entirely hand-crafted by the craftsmen and ourselves.

A new or forthcoming project we should know about: We are currently working on a public realm project at Alserkal Avenue in Dubai, where we're designing interactive public interventions to animate the entire public spaces of the venue. It'll be completed in April.

We're in the process of finalizing our fifth short film related to our inspirations behind the creation of Reconciled Fragments. We're also working on a restoration residential project in Venice that'll be completed next summer and exhibiting our Jurat vessels in Salon Art + Design in New York with Le LAB.

What you absolutely must have in your studio: My books, music in the background, herbal incense, and a candle lit (Tara). Inspiration books, Miles Davis tracks, and my dog (Tessa).

What you do when you're not working: I prioritize exploring different parts of the world, mostly wild landscapes and little towns with my dog Zoe and my Rolleiflex in hand (Tara). Hiking forests and taking pictures (Tessa).

Sources of creative envy: I wouldn't know who and what to pick! It really depends on the phase I'm going through, but as I'm writing this now, I'd say Virginia Woolf after finishing her experimental masterpiece The Waves (Tara). Kahlil Gibran, Fairuz (Tessa).

The distraction you want to eliminate: The phone and social media (Tara). Ads and news bombardment (Tessa).

According to Laurenza, “The Precious Life show presents viewers with a vision of the power of nature. The pieces celebrate the essential role that insects play in supporting plants, trees, soil, and all other life on earth, including humans. In this exhibit,” he continued, “anatomically-correct dragonflies, beetles, butterflies and other sculpted insects appear alongside bejeweled human skulls to remind viewers of how the food supply and fate of human civilization depends on the billions of insects that help pollinate our plants, make honey, nourish our soil and keep our planet in balance.” Adding that, “The exhibit is also a call to action to preserve our environment while we still can,” Laurenza notes, “Precious Life at Maison Gerard presents what I believe in as a jewelry designer, as an artist and as a citizen of the world.”

https://www.forbes.com/sites/kyleroderick/2022/11/13/mcl-design-glitters-at-maison-gerard-duringsalon-art design-and-nyc-jewelry-week/?sh=480d8655708e

The design process for creating a single piece begins with a basic drawn rendering which takes a three dimensional form as it is first carved in wax and then casat in gold or silver. Next, Laurenza and his artisans painstakingly set his objets d’art with precious and semi-precious gemstones of all colors. Given that he mounts them with reclaimed metals, there is also a repurposed aspect to Laurenza’s sculptures. Living above his jewelry atelier like a traditional artist, Laurenza works side-by-side with almost 40 artisans who receive salary and benefits that exceed industry standards. “It is important to me that my employees can provide for their families and we find ways to support those families’ health and education,” Laurenza says. (Note:thiswriterhasintervieweddozensofjewelryartisans fromIndia,Thailand,Afghanistan,theUnitedStatesandBurmawholaborfull-timetocreatejewelryforFirst Worldluxuryretailers.Noneofthemreportedreceivinghealthinsurancecoveragefromtheiremployers.)

As Laurenza explained, “Just as natural habitats and their insect, plant and animal species are vanishing, jewelry making and other applied art networks are disappearing due to the combined forces of mass produced, ultrainexpensive jewelry and economic stagnation. I’m so committed to the preservation of traditional artisanal jewelrymaking techniques,” he continued, “because these have been steadily disappearing for decades. UNESCO and other cultural heritage organizations have documented jewelry traditions that have vanished within the past 50 years as well those that are endangered. Jewels that straddle the worlds of fine art and applied art have been part of Thai cultural identity for thousands of years. By employing people intent on practicing traditional metalsmithing,” he added, “I help keep that heritage alive and passed down to the next generation.”

Laurenza, who participated in a 2019 New York City Jewelry Week event during which he discussed Thailand’s artisanal jewelry traditions, noted, “While handmade silver jewelry with a high sterling content made by Thai Hill tribes is one of Thailand’s most famous artisanal traditions and exports, so is high karat gold and gemstone jewelry.” Gold jewelry making in Thailand began some 2000 years ago, Laurenza noted, when Hindu settlers, some of whom were goldsmiths, came to Thailand from eastern and southern India. “The Indian goldsmiths taught their techniques to the Dvaravati Mons of the Chao Phraya Basin. The Mons then advanced this art and craft in Khmer society.” The tradition of gold and gem-based jewelry reached its height during the Ayutthaya era, when rulers and nobles commissioned everything from gold jewelry to crowns, swords, footwear, objets d’art and furniture adorned with precious gems.

Given the breadth of design being exhibited at Salon Art + Design, Laurenza is excited to be showing with Maison Gerard. Showcasing collectible and covetable design from far and wide, Salon offers collectors, jewelers, designers, artists, students and others the chance to experience a range of fine art, applied art and decorative objects. Objects on view include ancient Egyptian artifacts, Greek and Roman statuary, as well as items of African, Renaissance, and contemporary art. “There’s a refinement and cosmopolitan nature to the Salon fair,” Laurenza said. “Salon Art + Design embodies an exciting eclecticism that appeals to today’s collectors and tastemakers of all ages.”

Both the Salon show and Maison Gerard understand that “The boundaries between fine art and heritage, artisanal fine jewelry are overlapping more and more,” Laurenza maintained. “Many people who collect jewelry, objets d’art and fine art today are interested in far more than in just acquiring possessions. Rather, he ventured, “Art, jewelry, and design are all being curated to express individual vision and taste. The people who wear my jewels, buy my sculptures or source from Maison Gerard all have a highly developed sense of personal culture, which grows out of their sense of beauty and love of fine art, high design and quality craftsmanship.”

studio represents India at the Salon Art + Design in New York with their “ Totems Over Time” collection

http://businessnewsthisweek.com/business/klove-studio-represents-india-at-the-salon-art-design-innew-york-with-their-totems-over-time-collection/

November 10, 2022, New York : klove studio will debut a collection of luminous sculptures from their acclaimed series, ‘Totems Over Time’ this fall at Salon Art + Design happening in New York from November 10 to 14.

The Totems Over Time collection comprises exquisite structures that are brought to life using glass, metal, and gold, to create a series of installations that travel back a century. The pieces are artistically handcrafted to reimagine ancient symbols of social and holy significance. Each Totem evokes tribal iconography and motifs while adhering to contemporary ideals of clean lines and art deco-influenced shapes. Prateek and Gautam recreate power symbols from the past to develop new forms of the sacred in this collection. They allude to the presence of an undefined deity, one who represents spirituality in the modern era.

“Totem Over Time fully occupies the space in which it is installed, casting a lingering and profound impression on everyone who views it,” Gautam Seth, Cofounder, and Designer, klove studio said.

“We believe that our collection strives to constantly explore the ties that unite humanity through methods that strengthen our involvement with our senses,” Prateek Jain, Cofounder, and Designer, klove studio said.

The Salon Art + Design features eminent art and design galleries from all over the world and showcases the trends of collectible design. The space presents the best designs in the world, from vintage to modern to contemporary pieces that are augmented by blue-chip 20th-century art.

Pillowy dyed ruckus in a perky teal cascade along the pillar along with plump sensual pink roses. Taupe roses also blend into the mix that includes a side urn for a chic result. Since I am in charge of awarding great floral designers each year with the floral opportunity for this design mecca, Damselfly Designs is a perfect choice, and rocked it.

Salon presents the world’s best design – vintage, modern and contemporary – and features leading art and design galleries from all over the world. They spotlight the trends of collectible design.

Inside the galleries, Maison Gerard’s console with its highly sculptured steel rods serves to create opportunities for a gallery of floral vases, which is a huge hit. Designed by Jean-Luc le Mounier, the waves of the grey stone create a dreamy look that is modern but warm. The faceted surfaces of the Emiliano Celiz vases are also intriguing. The tall vase by Cristal Benito is intricately interesting too and filled with orange and yellow blooms. Maison Gerard is a master with accessorizing.

As Mitch Owens, the American editor of “The World of Interiors” remarked, “there’s always something new and interesting there.” So true. The pairing of Anna Condo flower paintings above the Jean-Luc le Mounier console in an architectural arrangement adds to the spectacular effect.

Frederica Silvi’s onion lamp is also quite cool. Putting it on the mantle with a jeweled lilac branch is sultry and fun. And as we know, orchids are the chicest of accessories ever since Halston popularized them.

Over at the Friedman Benda gallery, we like the rose-inspired table by Brazilian design brothers Estudio Campana. Chandeliers are also enLIGHTening. They are so trending now because a cool chandelier literally makes a statement that lights up the whole space.

The bold pink floral chandelier by British artist Jonathan Trayte is a piece that can literally create the ambiance for any room. It’s happy and modern.

Other floral-themed chandeliers and lamps we noticed are the following sparklers including one by the Finish designer Paavo Tynell.

A showstopper is also at the David Gill gallery with this 24-carat gold leaf and acrylic on aluminum painting by Paul Morrison. Any color matches with this painting and it’s so exuberant, isn’t it?

All these designs truly are gold for Salon Art + Design, which is produced by the talented Sanford L. Smith + Associates, The popular show is at the Park Avenue Armory in New York City from November 10-14, 2022.

Description

Salon Art + Design, the leading collectible design and art fair produced by Sanford L. Smith + Associates, announces its exhibitor line-up and 11th edition at the Park Avenue Armory in New York City from November 10 – 14, 2022. Featuring 52 exceptional exhibitors, Salon Art + Design will welcome international galleries back into the fold to present the world’s leading design – vintage, modern and contemporary – and blue-chip 20th century art.

For more than a decade, Salon Art + Design has evolved into the choice platform for exhibiting, experiencing, collecting, and discussing design and art. A high point of New York’s Fall arts calendar, the fair will continue to captivate its audience with a robust international exhibitor list, special exhibitions and the return of in-person programming including exclusive talks and panel discussions.

Salon Art + Design has continued to differentiate itself from other fairs by including a highly curated mixture of historic and contemporary collectible design and fine art. Just as top interior designers create eclectic homes for discerning clients, Salon Art + Design exhibitors are encouraged to create immersive environments mirroring the way we live today.

“After a highly successful, though smaller, fair in 2021, we look forward to the return of many of the international galleries who were unable to participate because of the pandemic,” says Jill Bokor, Executive Director of Salon Art + Design. “This year galleries from the UK, France, Sweden and China will return, joined by newcomers from Los Angeles, Texas, Egypt, France and New York. The market for collectible design has remained strong and new works are eagerly sought by collectors, so Salon is excited to showcase new, previously unseen material.”

This November, Salon Art + Design welcomes back a highly international mix of exhibitors, many of whom were unable to attend last year due to international travel restrictions. These exhibitors will present an eclectic range that spans everything from European fine art and design to oceanic art. For the first time since its inception, Salon is welcoming a gallery from Egypt, Le Lab Atelier, who will show cutting-edge contemporary Middle Eastern design.

Many of the fair’s core exhibitors, who have participated in the fair throughout its duration, will return including Galerie Chastel-Marechal, Friedman Benda, Maison Gerard, Moderne, R + Company and Vallois.

Through its unmatched reputation, Salon Art + Design continues to attract new exhibitors from around the world and is proud to welcome newcomers including Armel Soyer, Boccara Gallery, Galerie Artempo, Galerie Carole Decombe, Galerie SCENE OUVERTE, Galerie Yves Gastou, GARDE, Le Lab Atelier and Mindy Solomon Gallery.

Presenting vintage, modern, and contemporary design, the 2022 edition of the fair saw many of its longtime exhibitors returning after a much smaller iteration in 2021 (due to COVID-19 travel restrictions), as well as firsttime presenters like Galerie SCENE OUVERTE, Le Lab Atelier, Armel Soyer, and Boccara Gallery, GARDE. Offering interior environments that intermingle artworks alongside design pieces, the fair’s beautifully-curated booths saw opening-night sales of works like a ceramic wall installation by Molly Hatch, presented by Todd Merrill, rare pieces by Osvaldo Borsani on view with Paul Donzella, the ceramic work of Eric Roinestad in The Future Perfect’s booth, and mid-century and 1930s furniture that was presented by Nicolas and Sébastien Reese.

Awakenings: A Collectible Exhibition by L e LAB at The Salon, New York

From the 10th of November 2022 to the 14th of November 2022, collectible design gallery Le LAB takes its collective art to the heart of the city of culture and dynamism, New York. Le LAB is a Cairo-based contemporary collective design gallery that deeply understands the history of the Egyptian and regional art scene and its aspirations for the future. Le LAB ’s upcoming exhibition named ‘Awakenings’ will showcase at The Salon where different artists and designers highlight the rebirth of the art and design movement in Egypt and the Middle East through their art creations.

In collaboration with Zamalek Art Gallery and Gypsum, Le LAB will power the different regional interpretations in art form to the rest of the world. Co-curated by Russell Piccione, founder of Russel Piccione Design studio in New York, architectural designer, and interior decorator, Le LAB’s exhibition ‘Awakenings’ will vibrantly showcase the talent and versatility of all Middle Eastern artists and designers Khaled Zaki, Omar Chakil, Tessa & Tara Sakhi, Richard Yasmine, Mostafa Abdel-Moity, Basim Magdy, and Mohamed Fares. Visitors will witness an eccentric meld of ancient methods, materials, and techniques with modern ones to conceive pieces that are both timeless and futuristic. Each designer and artist’s art creations personally provoke a distinctive understanding of the artists’ journey of creating their pieces and allow room for both senses of individuality and solidarity with their experiences.

https://flair-magazine.com/awakenings-a-collectible-exhibition-by-le-lab-at-the-salon-new-york/

Khaled Zaki’s Naqaba Boat recalls the undulating lines of a prehistoric terracotta figure and the stylized boat designs of ancient Egypt’s later dynasties in a harmonic integration between minimal sculpture and applied design. Omar Chakil’s strong vivid lines and bold shapes take raw Egyptian marble onyx, known as Pharaonic alabaster, and imbue it with spiritual essence that reflects the artist’s mixed Egyptian, French, and Lebanese heritage. Similarly, Lebanese-Polish sisters Tessa and Tara Sakhi (TSAKHI studio) explore their knowledge of glassmaking that stretches from ancient Egypt and Lebanon to the glassmakers of Murano to create delicate and ethereal pieces that conjure the textures of excavated eroded artifacts. Richard Yasmine, on the other hand, displays a tongue-incheek playfulness with geometric forms that blur the lines between old and new and a silhouette that evokes the Egyptian imagery of the rising sun using synthetic fur in a modern interpretation of an ancient material. Two leading Egyptian artists of different generations bookend the design pieces in ‘Awakenings’ with artworks that reflect on the futuristic themes from different perspectives. Basim Magdy references a dystopian future based on the cultural tripes of our hyper-connect ted reality with dream-like images that question time itself and how we perceive ourselves and others within it. Mostafa Abdel Moity, who came of age in the 1960s, reimagines traditional elements of architecture and heritage at home in futuristic landscape where precisely balanced subtract geometric forms alternate with softer, almost human, lines. Finally, Mohamed Fares, one of Egypt’s most talented architects and interior designers, present a video installation that captures the many spontaneous moments and impressions that trigger the almost alchemical sequence of creation in the minds of artists and designers.

Driven by its founder’s, Rasheed Kamel’s cultural heritage, Le LAB aims to explore the way in which collective design is interpreted in our region today and to ignite a movement questioning the boundaries between art, design, and architecture. The conversation between the past, present, and the future of shared societal events is one that Le LAB is particularly interested in utilizing as a means to understanding our common humanity. Collaborating with some of the region’s greatest and most inspiring artists, designers, craftsmen, and architects promises to champion or even deconstruct pre-conceived notions and standards and evoking a fresh courageous perspective on contemporary and collective design.

Forming the ‘Phygi tal’ Future of Art Fair Logistics

The hottest cauldron of the global art market has always been found at the art fair. Events showcasing the diverse treasures of the global art market are central to the art eco-system, bringing together dealers to reveal their best, newest and rarest stocks for a limited time.

Logistics can be a headache in any industry, but the specialised nature of the art market makes it more of a challenge than most. Now, however, shipping for art fairs and the broader art market is handled by art logistics specialists such as Convelio, a leading international fine art shipper with a digital approach. Fine art shippers are tackling art fair shipping complexities with original solutions, satisfying both buyer and seller and modernising the industry. A case in point for this is Convelio’s management of the demands of exhibitors at Salon Art + Design New York with efficiency, quality and reliability.

Fine art shippers have been working with art galleries ever since the first art fair took place in Cologne in 1967. In the 55 years since then, the process has largely remained stagnant. The gallery would make contact with a shipper to request quotes for packing, shipping, insurance and delivery to a fair, and the shipping agent would reply often days later or more with prices. For the demands of the 21st century market, an innovative solution is required.

https://www.artsandcollections.com/forming-the-phygital-future-of-art-fair-logistics/

The cutting edge of fine art shipping is in action at Salon Design + Art New York, a fair where more than fifty of the world’s leading galleries in art, architecture and design will be brought together at Park Avenue Armory. Convelio is the shipping partner for the event, backing its industry-leading, automated logistics services ahead of the fair with a ‘phygital’ presence on-site at the Armory.

Convelio’s involvement with the fair comes at a time when the French-founded start up is fast expanding in the US. The company now has a team of 34 in North America, as part of a global staff of over 200 located around the world. Earlier this year, it raised $35 million in Series B funding and continues to augment its operations and personnel in the US, its largest and fastest growing regional market.

Time is a precious commodity in the artworld, not just in the time-limited sense of an art fair’s run, but in the logistics of the lead up too. Rather than the traditional wait of hours or even days for quotes for shipping, Convelio’s proprietary platform for fine art shipping generates a quote to book in seconds, from almost anywhere in the world. It is introducing the generation of gallerists and collectors most familiar with Amazon to a similar efficiency and speed of booking for art logistics.

To deliver works to a fair, galleries must ship their stock in bulk, which requires an associated extent of administration. Shippers are working to streamline these procedures and Convelio offers fully automated ‘inventory shipping’ to eliminate wasted time spent on more traditional shipment organisation. This has been delivered with Convelio’s clients at Salon, allowing galleries to spend more time on the front end of their businesses, and removing the need to spend too much time with the administration.

Technology

Although tech-led solutions are leading the charge in making art fair shipping as efficient as possible, backing technology with a human touch remains all-important to guaranteeing a high-quality service. At the Salon, Convelio is providing an operations bureau situated at the fair, to be a ‘one stop shop’ for dealers who want to fasttrack their logistical demands for onward shipping by liaising with on-site experts. Going ‘phygital’ is now the dominant approach to selling at art fairs, where a dealer must maintain an online and offline presence at a fair – a change that was sped up by the Covid-19 era. It is clear that the supply chain supporting these dealers is fast catching up.

Collectors and exhibitors alike expect efficiency, quality and reliability in their fine art shipping services for art fairs. New players in the game such as Convelio are introducing a new paradigm to make this a reality. As Convelio’s involvement at the Salon demonstrates, the art market may finally be consigning the logistical practices recognisable at that first art fair in Cologne to where it belongs – the history books.

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever set features furniture designs by Jomo Tariku

Wakanda Forever features Ethiopian-American designer Jomo Tariku’s furniture inspired by traditional African motifs

The themes of loss and uncertainty might dominate the highly anticipated Black Panther sequel, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, but that has not dampened the triumphant, Afrocentric setting of the fictional kingdom. In fact, making a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it cameo appearance are five designs from the Ethiopian-American furniture designer Jomo Tariku, who also unveiled one of them in person at Salon Art + Design 2022 in New York.

For his silver-screen appearance, Tariku worked directly with set designers Lisa Morgan, Molly Ebner, and Academy Award-winner Hannah Beachler. Respected for his ability to translate his experience of Africa’s diverse culture into functional objects, Tariku has recurrently drawn from historical structures, traditional furniture, colours, artefacts, landscapes and hairstyles when creating his work.

Characterised by its modernity, Tariku’s furniture designs have won him numerous accolades, including the 2022 Maker Award from the Black Artists + Designers Guild. His work has also been featured in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Los Angeles Contemporary Museum of Art, and most recently, the Baltimore Museum of Art.

‘Nyala’chair (Imagecredit:CourtesyJomoTariku)

In Wakanda Forever, a trio of Tariku’s distinctive stools can be seen on their own and stacked as shelves. Each design was inspired by traditional African motifs; the ‘Ashanti’ is a modern interpretation of the classical Akan stool from Ghana, a ceremonial seat associated with leadership and known for its curved seat and bowed legs. The triangular ‘Boraatii’ stool echoes the shape of traditional headrests found in the Oromia region of Ethiopia, which were used to help protect and preserve hairstyles and weaves while asleep, and the ‘Dogon’ stool nods to small geometric stools found in Mali. Tariku’s contemporary versions each boasts adjustable heights so they can be used either as stools or side tables, depending on needs.

This philosophy carries over to his newest work, the ‘Nyala’ chair, which Tariku unveiled exclusively with Chicago’s Wexler Gallery. Made from ash wood, finished in black and featuring embedded white acrylic detailing, the chair evokes the shy and elusive antelopes, native to the East African Bale Mountains, in its hand-carved armrests and sturdy legs.

Refractory Design Studio Unveils New Collection at NYC Salon Art + Design Show

Refractory, a Chicago-based design studio, has just unveiled a sculptural new chair collection, Holotype - along with a variety of new patinas during its installation at NYC’s Salon Art + Design show.

Consisting of an occasional and side chair, the Holotype series is solid oak, pulling from the studio’s interest in expressing works by virtue of substantial volumes and robust planes in contrast with subtle and sculpted transitions.

Inspired by Refractory’s Holotype installation at Milan Design Week, the volumes of the pieces are in lieu of linear members and limbs, combined with exposed hardware, and bronze elements cast from a woven arrangement of porcupine quills.

Their space at NYC’s show showcased the studio’s new patinas - including Oxblood, Ostrich, Desert, Stone, Saddle, and Leather - that powerfully capture Refractory’s rigorously crafted furniture, lighting, and objects.

Highlights you need to know from Salon Art + Design 2022

With the challenges of global travel post-pandemic a thing of the past, New York City’s Salon Art + Design this year marked the triumphant return of many of the salon’s exhibitors. “We were thrilled that we were able to hold the fair last year – one of the first after the pandemic, but I felt it was a little unfinished due to the number of galleries who couldn’t exhibit,” executive director Jill Bokor tells Effect, “so I’m very excited to have a number of our French exhibitors return – as well as a number of new French galleries -– along with galleries from Sweden, China and the Middle East. It’s a very well-rounded presentation this year.”

Taking place in the Park Avenue Armory, the collective repertoire was as immersive as ever, with interior designer Amy Lau’s The Beauty of Brutalism showcase greeting guests at the entrance to the Drill Hall, the beauty of the items curated by Lau providing a polemic challenging our understanding of Brutalism.

This year’s show presented a few firsts, including an interior design collection by French designer Charles Zana and two new exhibitor galleries with specialities in glass (Glass Past and Heller Gallery) reinforcing the increased appetite for the design medium. “We’re always trying to be more inclusive,” says Bokor. “Collectible design is an ever-widening category, and we try to both show and influence that way of thinking.”

A number of themes emerged at the show, reinforcing its undeniable all-roundedness, extraordinary appeal and global relevance. Here are the key ones:

A fusion of style and genre

The salon itself presents a unique juxtaposition of ancient and contemporary art and design, with some galleries achieving a superlative mix of genres and styles within their own booths. Bokor tells us: “The salon is distinguished amongst designers, gallerists and aesthetes for its interest in creating interior environments that don’t necessarily favour one genre or style of design or another; and as a result, the salon is considered the only international fair of this caliber to make representation in art and design from antiquity through to the current day.”

Bokor continues: “What I love about today’s collectors is that they are less afraid to take risks than the collectors of 30 years ago. Collecting used to be deep, but not broad. Back then, people concentrated on Impressionist paintings, or 18th-century American furniture, or Art Deco. Today, people are unafraid to pair a master artist with an emerging one – or Bauhaus furniture with contemporary design – and the results are far more interesting than they used to be.”

Galleries that underscore Bokor’s sentiments include Magen H Gallery, which included some exceptional 1960s pine and plywood furniture pieces by French architect Hervé Baley, contrasted with a 1930s Maison Desny table lamp in glass and aluminium; and circa 1930s metal coatrack attributed to Robert Mallet Stevens with a 1970s metal sculpture by Roger Tallon.

Todd Merrill Studio presented collections that brought pieces together fashioned from a very broad suite of materials into perfection cohesion. “The exhibition was centred on the juxtaposition of disparate materials and surfaces,” explains Merrill. “Sleek lacquered finishes and luminous transparent resin stand in contrast to the natural textures of wood, cast bronze, and molded paper.” The studio paired cast bronze, stainless steel, and carved wood pieces by contemporary artist Alex Roskin with pieces by Italian duo Draga & Aurel, who specialise in works that blend coloured resins, concrete, bronze, and brass with metal pendants and chandeliers by Markus Haas.

https://magazine.thebrunoeffect.com/highlights-you-need-to-know-from-salon-art-design-2022/

Gabriel et Guillaume offered Brazilian modernist pieces in addition to 20th-century and mid-century modern design, which included the stunning Jean Royère Ecusson set of a sofa, three armchairs and a coffee table, resulting in one of the most compelling interior arrangements at the show. R & Company, renowned for championing extraordinary, collectible design, upped the ante by pulling seemingly disparate styles and genres into such a potent fusion at their booth. A show-stopping 1960s Jacaranda and glass credenza by Jorge Zalszupin was offset by contemporary works by Rogan Gregory and sculptural vessels by Jeff Zimmerman, Jolie Ngo, Katie Stout and Brad Miller. Converso’s booth was as immersive as ever, with a unique collection of pieces from the likes of Bruce Goff, George Nakashima and Norman Teague.

The chandelier effect

Whether it’s a response to a level of restraint exercised during the two-year pandemic, or a renewed interest in decorative lighting, the show appeared to feature a number of distinctive chandeliers and sculptural lighting elements. Examples included Sebastian Brajkovic’s The Mathematician #02 borosilicate glass and metal chandelier at David Gill Gallery, and Jonathan Trayte’s Velvet Solar Star at Friedman Benda – a striking piece fabricated from painted and powder-coated aluminum, reinforced plastics and flock.

Twenty First Gallery included Nathalie Ziegler Pasqua’s Autumnal Forest Chandelier, an incandescent suspension piece that functions equally as lighting and sculpture and is intricately crafted from individual slices of Verrerie de

Saint-Just glass. Karl Zahn’s aluminum, brass and hand-painted acrylic fixture was a highlight at The Future Perfect, as was an Elizabeth Garouste and Mattia Bonetti Schlesinger chandelier at Gabriel et Guillaume.

The undeniably stand-out lighting installation was the sculptural lighting by Klove Studio, a design practice founded by Prateek Jam and Gautam Seth in New Delhi, whose totemic works reference tribal icons and motifs in a thoroughly contemporary context.

Theshow-stopping‘TotemsOverTime’lightsculpturesbyNewDelhi’sKloveStudiowereamongthefair’smaintalkingpoints

Of the earth

The integration of precious gems and minerals into furniture and lighting is not an emerging trend per se but rather a developing one that seems to become ever more compelling. Galerie Negropontes presented a number of works by Gianluca Pacchioni including an extraordinary one-off console, Under The Sheets, made from Patagonia granite, glass and patinated brass. Their Névé series of sculptures by Perrin & Perrin are hewed from solid blocks of glass.

https://magazine.thebrunoeffect.com/highlights-you-need-to-know-from-salon-art-design-2022/

Le Lab (pictured near top), a Cairo-based design gallery originally founded in Lebanon in 2013, presented Omar Chakil’s raw Egyptian marble onyx (also known as Pharaonic alabaster) pieces which drew significant visitor attention.

First timer exhibitors, the Manhattan-based Wilensky Exquisite Mineral Gallery, presented a spectacular array of minerals, including never-before-seen emerald and opal specimens.

https://magazine.thebrunoeffect.com/highlights-you-need-to-know-from-salon-art-design-2022/

“Our pieces, mined by artisanal miners, come directly from the earth, unaltered in form and shape by the human hand,” Wilenksy brothers Troy and Connor tell Effect. “As such they are highly compelling, collectible objects.”

Ceramics still a tour de force – with glass in strong pursuit

J Lohmann, as ever, produced a stunning display of ceramics by various artists with a focus on Jongjin Park’s sculptural vessels. Hostler Burrows, known for presenting ceramics by both emerging and established ceramicists, included work by Heringa/Van Kalsbeek – in particular, their piece Trans Oceanic, fabricated from ceramic, resin and steel, along with Finnish artist Marianne Huotari’s Palsta (Garden Plot), a glazed stoneware piece, hand-sewn in the form of wall art.

https://magazine.thebrunoeffect.com/highlights-you-need-to-know-from-salon-art-design-2022/

Huotari’s iteration involves an intensive process of craftsmanship whereby hundreds of rectangular ceramic beads and petals are sculpted by hand and then sewn onto a metal frame with wire, referencing the traditional Finnish textile technique Ryijy – a method of loom-weaving tapestries. The booth at Heller Gallery was dominated by contemporary duo Libenský and Brychtová, whose sculptures are fabricated from cast glass and majestically fashioned into elegant form.

Com peças vintage, modernas e contemporâneas, o Salon Art + Design de Nova York apresenta as principais galerias de arte e design de todo o mundo. Neste ano, a feira que aconteceu na Park Avenue Armory, em Manhattan, deu foco não apenas às peças exibidas isoladamente, mas ao conjunto como um todo; dando sugestões de como você pode aconchegá-las todas juntas no seu ambiente.

MarinaPires/CASACOR

–

A inclusão e a vontade da mostra de aproximar a arte e o design do cotidiano baseia-se na crença de que hoje, mais do que nunca, designers e colecionadores criam e dão vida a ambientes com essas peças, ao invés de só colecionálas separadamente.

Assim, uma variedade de arte, mobiliário e antiguidade, com 51 expositores de todo o mundo, preencheram o Salon Art + Design de 2022 e mostraram que é possível adaptar todas as peças ao décor cotidiano de uma casa.

Works by Zaha Hadid and Ron Arad among objects at Salon Art + Design in New York

A selection of international gallerists and studios showcased design and art collections at the Park Avenue Armory in Manhattan's Upper East Side during the Salon Art + Design fair.

The yearly showcase of collectible design and art takes place in what was once an armoury in Midtown Manhattan, with international exhibitors showing work from both contemporary and historic creatives.

Salon Art + Design saw the majority of the booths filling the armoury's large, high-ceilinged Drill Hall, while a variety of other installations and lounges were set up in the ornate hallways and entryways that front the space.

These included an exhibition by Chicago design studio Refractory in the Colonel's Room, as well as a Collectors Lounge by design studio FrenchCalifornia that partnered with collectors to create a "refuge from the hustle and bustle of the fair," according to Salon.

This year, the fair had 52 exhibitors as well as a special installation from New York-based gallery R & Company that featured a sculptural piece by Romanian designer Serban Ionescu.

Called Tower for an Hour, the piece is 22 feet (6.7 metres) tall and made out of steel that had been painted green, blue and orange.

R & Company also had a standalone booth, separate from the special installation, where the gallery showed other designs including bulbous, sculptural lamps by New York designer Rogan Gregory.

Throughout the Salon art + Design fair, there was a mix of classic design objects such as a 1945 Gio Ponti wall unit displayed by Karl Kemp Gallery and work from up-and-coming designers including New York-based Djivan Schapira, who showcased his Solar Sailer Foyer Table for Todd Merrill Studio's installation.

"Salon Art + Design has continued to differentiate itself from other fairs by including a highly curated mixture of historic and contemporary collective design and fine art," said the fair.

In the Drill Hall, London-based David Gill Gallery's exhibit had a strong architectural tone, with the sinuous Dune table as well as Ultrastellar coffee table and chairs designed by architect Zaha Hadid presented alongside sculptural works by artist Sebastian Errazuriz.

New York-based Opera Gallery showed a new version of British-Israeli designer Ron Arad's Big Easy Chair, cast in epoxy resin.

"My favourite symbiosis is between the will of the artist and the will of the material – you can only see what has occurred after it is taken out of the mould, and so far I have to say, using my favourite sentence, it is much better than I deserve!" Arad told Dezeen.

This year was the first time since before the pandemic that many of the international studios were able to make it to Salon Art + Design, and the event marked the first time an Egyptian studio, Le Lab Atelier, showed at the fair.

5 favorite things from Salon Art + Design

I really enjoyed seeing the Salon Art + Design fair at the Park Avenue Armory in NYC about ten days ago. I want to share a few highlights, five favorite things that really stood out and grabbed my attention and admiration. These items below are not in any particular order in the sense that I’m not ranking them; I just wanted to share some things that I thought were really cool and – if money and space were not an issue – I could imagine myself enjoying these things.

Check out these light sculptures by the design team known as Klove. Prateek Jain and Gautam Seth are the designers who “seek to redefine the way luxury lighting is crafted, perceived, and produced.” They are inspired by the skills of traditional Indian craftsmen, combining that knowledge with contemporary practices and forwardthinking ideas. I have honestly never seen anything like these – they have a commanding presence. These two are from a series called “Totems Over Time,” and the piece below left is titled “Beauty Totem.” It measures 9’4″ tall and 5’4″ wide, made with handblown glass, metal with an antique brass finish, and onyx. The piece below right is titled “Protection Totem” and measures 7’5″ tall and 5’9″ wide. It is made with handblown glass and metal with a gun metal finish. You can see more of their work here.

I saw this space-age table (below) at the David Gill Gallery booth and was mesmerized. The shape and especially the finish had a huge “wow” factor. On the one hand, perhaps it should just be displayed as a piece of sculpture, but on the other hand, how fun would it be to set it for a dinner party and have your friends gathered around? I didn’t see a label for this piece at the show, but as I’m doing my research today, learning who made it took it to a whole new level for me … scroll down for more.

Table/sculpturetitled“Dune,”byZahaHadid,seenattheDavidGillGalleryboothatSalonArt+Design.

The piece is titled “Dune,” and was created by Zaha Hadid (1950-2016), an Iraqi-British architect, artist and designer, who is recognized as a major figure in architecture of the late 20th and early 21st centuries. It makes sense that I would be drawn to this table, as I am infatuated with Zara Hadid’s 520 West 28th Street (pictured below), also known as the Zaha Hadid Building, which is her only residential building in New York. Since it’s in the Chelsea neighborhood where I go see art gallery shows on a regular basis, I watched with fascination over the years as it was being built. One of these days I’ll collect all of my photos of this building as it was being built to show you the evolution of it, but I digress – back to the table: it’s made with aluminium and polyurethane lacquer, and is from a limited edition series of 8, available in black or white in addition to this color. See more about Zaha Hadid’s “Dune” here.

This next collection of five sculptures from around the world was on display at Phoenix Ancient Art, a business with galleries in Geneva and New York. All of them individually are gorgeous objects, but it was the decision to put them together to showcase an international style of sculptures, busts and masks that really stood out. It’s like a mini-survey of how civilizations around the world have made symbolic figurative art.

From left, we have:

• A Songye Female Mask (Kifwebe), from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, late 19th to early 20th century, made with wood and pigment.

• Head of a Bearded Man, Christ or Apostle, from Northern Spain, second half of the 12th century, made from limestone.

• Mummy Portrait, Egyptian, Roman Period, 1st Century A.D., made with plaster, polychrome, and gilding.

• Head of a Divinity, Syrian, circa 1st – 4th Century A.D., made with basalt, from the former private collection of Nelson A. Rockefeller.

• Head of a Youth, Roman, second half of the 1st Century A.D., made with marble. This next piece, a shelf in painted steel, designed and made by Serban Ionescu, was on view at R. & Company. Titled “Star Dust,” it was made in 2022 by Ionescu, who is known for boldly-colored, playful, anthropomorphic forms that blur the boundaries between the sculptural and functional. I was not familiar with this artist/designer before, but after seeing his work at Salon Art + Design (there was much more in the same booth), and seeing more of his work here, I’m very intrigued and would like to learn more about him. It might be a little hard to see from this picture, but the item on top of the shelf is not part of the shelf, but rather a new book on this artist titled “A Thing On A Table In A House.” This book surveys the last five years of the artist’s colorful steel works and is accompanied by a play written by the artist James English Leary. You can learn more or buy this book here.

Last but not least, I was quite taken with this large-scale tapestry by Bernard Cathelin titled “Katsura Black and Green Harmony,” 1998. It has imagery like a painting, yet has a very tactile and three-dimensional presence as it is a French wool tapestry, measuring 78 x 118 inches. It was on view with Boccara Gallery, located in New York City. I was not previously familiar with Cathelin either, but learned that he was born in Paris in 1919 and was a painter and lithographer in addition to being a tapestry designer. That would certainly explain the painterly nature of this tapestry, and an interesting anecdote that I picked up was that he worked with Matisse in 1951, who “gave him lessons and advice,” as noted on the Boccara wall tag for this piece. This is an artist that I would like to learn more about, and one can start with his Wikipedia entry here.

While this wraps up my overview of five favorite things from Salon Art + Design, I could easily showcase another dozen more, if not more than that. I really enjoyed this fair compared to a typical art fair (which might focus only on paintings and sculptures), because I was introduced to so many new artists and designers who don’t fall under the umbrella of the New York contemporary art galleries and fairs that I usually visit. If you find these type of works as interesting as I do, make sure to check back as I’ll cover more in the near future.

Eco - based, Culturally Diverse Works at Salon Art + Design, NYC

Artists accentuate matters of culture, history and social standing through eco-based, diverse works at this year’s Salon Art + Design in New York City.

November 10 – 14 The Salon Art +Design 2022 exhibition revealed a wider range of artworks than in years past with more category-killer pieces and a more culturally diverse group of artists from around the world, including first-time exhibitors from India and Egypt. Certain artists explored tribal aesthetics, materials and forms. Other artists drew inspiration from natural forms and materials and mythical and geological histories.

In regards to this year’s curatorial adventurism, Anya Paintsil conceived Proof of Their Victories presented by Hannah Traore Gallery. Paintsil combines her Ghanaian and Welsh heritage as she weaves together investigations into identity, culture and legend. The artist incorporates human hair and artificial braids into thick nubby tapestries made from latch-hooking, needle punching and tapestry-making methods. The artworks she displayed during the event expressed the importance of hair to the people of Ghana and a Welsh pagan myth set in a mountain range close to her hometown.

“Hair is not decorative in Ghana. Hair holds so much cultural significance throughout the diaspora; hair has been used to show whether you’re rich or poor, single or married – your status, your identity,” the artist, discovered by the New York-based gallery, Salon 94, explained on MutualArt.

On the Welsh side, the thematic detail of hair comes in the form of a beard. The mountain range is said to house the burial mound of a giant who, after defeating an opponent in battle, would steal his beard to make cloaks and hats. This inspired certain works such as Rhitta Gawr, Braiding hair cloak and Yr Wyddfa.

Another impressive work by first-time exhibitors at the event included a series of totemic illuminated handblown glass sculptures by the New Delhi-based Klove Studio with imagery that looks akin to a Hopi or an Indian carpet with Menorahs, horns and Aztec headdresses. Through their work, the designers intend to harness sacred symbols and imagery from the past in a modern aesthetic, as they explained briefly in a discussion with ArchiExpo e-Magazine.

In the exhibit by the Chicago-based Converso gallery, artist Norman Teague displayed his slanted wood bookcase mounted on a wall. The artist made the assemblage from the cabinetry of foreclosed homes in the Bronzeville neighborhood in Chicago. Bronzeville, also known as the “Black Metropolis” and the “Black Belt,” is the center of African-American history on Chicago’s South Side. Through this piece, he highlights issues of black empowerment. To unify craft with awareness, the artist placed a selection of design and black power books from his library on the shelves of the bookcase, which is slated to be included in the 2023 Venice Art Biennale.

Sheepskin, which also fits into the eco-tribal vein conjuring up hardy indigenous people from the neolithic past, was a prominent material at this year’s Salon. There were sheepskin rugs, sheepskin upholstered furniture and sheepskin wall hangings. The bi-coastal U.S.-based gallery The Future Perfect featured a rug of sheared-off sheep wool sans skin colored by organic dyes by the eco-sensitive textile artist Claudy Jongstra who has her own herd of rare, indigenous Drenthe Heath sheep. The sheared-off sheep wool is reflective of Jongstra sensibilities, which according to The Future Perfect Director Laura Young, are focused on “Giving Back to the Earth.”

The New York City-based Maison Gerard’s booth displayed a veritable ecosystem. Some of the stunners included a whimsical new collection upholstered in moss green-colored Chenille Velvet by the design firm Georgis & Mirgorodsky, which was inspired by the Hispanic diaspora. It included an upholstered chair shaped like a prickly Pear Cactus called Le Nopal. The signature piece of the collection is a sleek curvilinear couch called Bombola with leopard-patterned cushions. Other plant-redolent furniture on display at Maison Gerard included several Champignon Mignon-shaped stools upholstered in sheepskin-looking fabric from the gallery’s Under the Influence collection. Completing the eco-system were rich prints of flowers on aluminum backgrounds by the Armenian photographer Anna Condo.

Todd Merrill Studio exhibited some beautifully crafted pieces, including the Tusk Chairs by Alex Ruskin could be called caveman chic. They were upholstered in satiny white pony hair and backed by hand-sculpted supports cast in bronze that looked like a simulacrum of some type of mammalian type of bone. Also, on display was one of Mark Haase’s ethereal light sculptures which look like sinuous jungle vines and are comprised of onyx, bronze, and LEDs. What really catches your eye about these sculptures is their intricate folds and turns which refract the light in myriad directions. This shimmering effect is a product of the sculptures’ complex composition from handcarved molds in Haase’s studio that are then cast using the relatively rare Lost Wax method.

It was inspiring to see how age-old forms and methods could be recycled to fit contemporary tastes and the environmental exigencies of modern times, without descending into the hippy-dippy. This year’s Salon exhibition also reflected the design community’s increasing interest in expanding beyond Eurocentric aesthetics and being more inclusive and open to design ideas from around the world and ways of crafting that date from bygone epochs.

5 ways to grow your design network

It’s one thing to have a solid business, and another entirely to have a strong business network. Cultivating your network takes time and attention, but the benefits (aside from knowing people who get it) can grow and diversify your work. We asked five designers Susan Hayward, Sophie Goineau, Trish Lynn, Betsy Pascucci and Elizabeth Burch how they approach networking.

“Our industry is deeply reliant on the success of relationships professional networking is a critical driver of growth. We actively seek out events and shows that provide opportunities to meet other creatives while helping to elevate our brand. We attend ICFF, NY Now, BDNY and High Point Market, as well as shows in other relevant industries including Art Basel Miami and Salon Art + Design. We consistently advance our education in topics that complement and enhance interior design, like art and sustainability. I am a member of U.S. Green Building Council, Long Island; additionally, I am an active member of ASID and on its Health, Wellness & Sustainability Committee. Since the pandemic, I have a renewed appreciation for human connection and look forward to every interaction. I feel fortunate to work in an industry filled with so many exciting, informative and educational options for expanding our professional networks.”
