The Best Architecture and Design Events in NYC this Fall By Michelle Cohen

https://www.6sqft.com/the-best-architecture-and-design-events-in-nyc-this-fall/


Though spring may bring New York City’s biggest collection of international design events, some of the most interesting happenings for followers of architecture and design both old and new take place in the fall. Archtober, for example is a month-long love affair with the built environment, and Open House New York introduces visitors to some of the city’s most important and rarelyseen (at least by the public) places. Add to that a designer show house and some fabulous fashion retrospectives–and much more.

New York: Salon Art + Design brings to fore, the gripping works of artist Fernando Casasempere As the eighth edition of the Salon Art + Design opens at the epic Park Avenue Armory in Manhattan. AD looks at London-based Chilean artist Fernando Casasempere’s abstract sculptures. By Sholeen Damarwala

Folded Organic Form is part of a series of four sculptures that the artist created earlier this year The Park Avenue Armory in Manhattan is a spectacular space with its 140-year-old history as a military armoury and more recently, a cultural institution holding some of the most stunning performing and fine art exhibitions. This month, it is home to the Salon Art + Design fair, where 56 art galleries from 14 countries will be presenting contemporary art and design in the charming, https://www.architecturaldigest.in/content/new-york-salon-art-design-fernandocasasempere/


historic rooms. Part of this showcase is a 95-kilogram clay sculpture by London-based Chilean artist Fernando Casasempere.

Sinuous Shapes Folded Organic Form (pictured) is part of a series of four sculptures that the artist—who is represented by British gallery Adrian Sassoon—created earlier this year in his sunlit studio in Hackney Wick. Each piece is sublimely connected to the other, sinuously bending like a dance company, although Casasempere’s intention is for them to convey their own individual narrative. “Yes, they are beautiful together, but I also like that they have their own life and soul to communicate this primordial, almost ritualistic quality about them,” says Casasempere.

This is the first time Casasempere’s sculptures will be displayed at the Salon Art + Design fair in New York https://www.architecturaldigest.in/content/new-york-salon-art-design-fernandocasasempere/


Clay Modelling The free-standing sculptural pieces originated from humble beginnings—a big balloon of clay that was physically manipulated and shaped by Casasempere using the weight of his arms and legs to mould the piece into curvaceous forms. Casasempere spent close to three months mixing the clay sourced from industrial leftovers in his ongoing attempt to find an artistic solution for material otherwise considered waste. “When I moved to London in 1997 from Chile, I brought close to 17 tones of my own clay and then later 22 tones because it was part of my talk about the environment and reflected the colour of my continent,” he says. “But since 2005, I have been using European clay to honour the place where I now live and the colour and texture represents my journey as an artist.” Once the clay was ready, Casasempere spent another eight months moulding it into its current shape—closed at the top but hollow on the inside, as if challenging the viewer to dig deeper than the superficial. “Beauty is a complex word; but as an artist, I have the constant need to conceal a brutal presence in my pieces that ignite a dialogue between the material and my concerns with the environment.” While his previous work has been displayed at several public spaces in both Chile and Britain as well as museums around the world, this is the first time Casasempere’s sculpture will be displayed at the Salon Art + Design fair in New York. “In a big city, with big noise, if I can give viewers a few minutes of silence to think about their place in the world, then I think my work is done,” he says. “What more can an artist ask for?” Salon Art + Design runs from 14 to 18 November, 2019 at the Park Avenue Armory, Manhattan.

The 2019 Salon Art + Design Will Be Its Most Global Showing Yet The fair announces its list of almost 60 participating exhibitors By Madeleine Luckel

A table by Grazyna Solland is one memorable work to look out for this fall. Photo: Courtesy of Salon Art + Design This November, the Salon Art + Design fair will take over the Park Avenue Armory for its eighth annual incarnation. While there are still months of preparation ahead for its organizers, one key component is now set in sculpture-worthy stone. Today, Salon Art + Design shares their full list of exhibitors exclusively with AD PRO. "What’s really exciting to me is that every year we get the opportunity to tweak it a little bit," Salon's executive director Jill Bokor says of the news. "This year I’m particularly excited that we have our first Russian gallery exhibiting with us," she adds, referring to Heritage International Art Gallery, an organization that specializes in Russian design. Russian works, the likes of which are not often seen on the international fair circuit, will therefore receive an exciting dose of attention. This is thanks too to the inclusion of ABA Gallery, a U.S.based gallery that caters to those interested in Russian art.

Across the board, there's a great degree of regional diversity in the fair's expected offerings, with exhibitors hailing from France, Lebanon, Morocco, the Netherlands, Sweden, and many more farflung nations. Brazilian design, which is currently experiencing a prolonged period of popularity, will be better represented than in years prior. And for the first time ever, the fair will include a Barcelona gallery. Both of these points, noted by Bokor, are indicative of the fair's "ever-widening geography," as she puts it. In past iterations, Bokor felt that the fair tended to emphasize contemporary works over their more historic precedents. This year however, "balance has been restored," she thinks, with older pieces enjoying their fair share of representation. It's a pivot that speaks to how, according to Bokor, designers and collectors are currently looking for a greater mix of pieces. Even younger collectors, who Bokor stresses will find more relatively affordable examples of collectible design here, can be considered to exemplify this relatively novel way of thinking. All this isn't to say that Bokor has eschewed contemporary ideas. "We’ve always been very insistent on brick-and-mortar galleries," she says, adding that for the first time ever, they've made an exception to that rule. "Gabriel and Guillaume [a French and Lebanese gallery without a permanent venue] have been doing pop-ups with amazing midcentury French material." Their offerings will be incorporated into the mix for the first time this fall. "It's really nice for our attendees to see what they haven’t seen before," Bokor says—making an astute observation about the fair at large in the process. Now, the work picks up steam for Bokor and her nearly 60 participants. As specific pieces begin to be finalized, Bokor will focus on the avoidance of repetitions. "This isn’t to say there won’t be more than one piece by the Campana Brothers," she concedes, "but we really work hard to make sure that there is something interesting for everyone who walks through the door." With this many varied participants, it certainly seems like there will be. Below is the complete list of exhibiting galleries, with their nationalities and specialities included.

Why a Cool Paris Gallery is Betting on the Right Bank AD PRO visits the new Galerie Negropontes after it relocates across the Seine. By Gay Gassmann

The new gallery's inaugural exhibition is titled "Seven Years of Reflection." It retraces the history of the gallery and each collection it has designed. Photo: Francis Amiand

From a modest space on the Left Bank to over 2,000 square feet across the Seine, Galerie Negropontes is making a major move this month—and leaving more room to grow. The idea to establish a gallery was initially hatched by Sophie Negropontes and Hervé Langlais— longtime friends whose respective specialties in galleries and interior design naturally complement https://www.architecturaldigest.com/story/does-a-gallery-relocation-signal-that-this-neighborhoodis-the-official-parisian-design-hotspot


each other. Their business, which quickly gained an excellent reputation thanks to their mutual appreciation for French decorative arts and high-caliber materials, has now been in operation for seven years. But unlike its previous Rue de Verneuil confines, the new premises (which open today) are interesting not only for the works they aim to promote and sell, but also for their location in what is fast becoming a mecca for French art and design. Just a few blocks from the Louvre, Musée des Arts Décoratifs, and the much-anticipated Tadao Ando–designed Pinault Foundation, it seems as if the Right Bank is once again the coolest design spot in town. As is true with any creative microcosm, it's the substance, specific details, and individuals of this quartier that set it apart. Negropontes has an innate understanding of this fact, which stems from her artistic background. (Her father was the photographer Dan Grigorescu, who is known for his images of the work of Constantin Brâncuși.) “I grew up in the art world with artists, photographers, and art critics," Negropontes tells AD PRO. On its most basic level, Galerie Negropontes' new Rue Jean-Jacques Rousseau location seeks to serve the individuals whom it represents. “The idea is to show more artists and designers. Now that we have this additional space, we can [stage] solo shows and display our signature furniture collections," Langlais says, emphasizing how the gallery's specialty lies in contemporary as opposed to vintage creations. Langlais, who is also an experienced architect, is tasked with spearheading these aforementioned collections. He designs one such line per year, which is comprised of unique pieces, limited series, and custom orders. "With Hervé, we work within a Brâncușian spirit," Negropontes notes. "[His collections are] simplified and researched, and [they possesses] a strong attention to detail. Everything is an expression of the decorative arts…art sculptures, lights, ceramics, and carved wood.”

As part of the inaugural exhibition, seven mirrors, one from each collection, were paired with with seven pieces of designer furniture. “We are showing seven mini scenes,” Langlais explains.

Thanks to the new space, the gallery will also now have room to host six to eight exhibitions a year, in addition to setting up booths at fairs such as PAD London and Salon Art and Design in New York. Striking a summarizing note, Negropontes reflects, "We had long been looking for a larger space to accommodate all of our artists, and then I fell in love with this one." She then adds, "It is exactly what we wanted. This is a dynamic area and in the heart of Paris.�

Pollaro Custom Furniture Is the Savile Row of the Decor Industry Showing at Salon Art + Design, Pollaro Custom Furniture can make a club chair to fit your client's exact dimensions By Juliet Izon

The Aquatic Art piece, made of an eggshell mosaic and lacquer technique. This, and Frank Pollaro's other works, will be on view November 14– 18 at New York's Salon Art + Design.Photo: Pollaro Custom Furniture

"Everyone claims to be a 'luxury' brand," Frank Pollaro, founder and CEO of Pollaro Custom Furniture, says to AD PRO. "But to me, that's a very special word that is reserved for the finest example of any given product." This definition of the word happens to apply quite well to Pollaro's work. His business, which he founded at the age of 21, has grown to occupy the highest echelon of bespoke furniture. His team of around 40 includes everyone from furniture makers to gilders to those who specialize in the lost art of eggshell inlay. Here, he gives us the details on three of the custom pieces he’s bringing to New York’s Salon Art + Design fair, taking place November 14–18. https://www.architecturaldigest.com/story/pollaro-custom-furniture-is-the-savile-row-ofthe-decor-industry


AD PRO: You don’t participate in many fairs. Why Salon? Frank Pollaro: We don't participate in anything that's not at the highest level. The only other show we do is the Monaco Yacht Show. What I love about Salon is, it brings the best of the design world and the most sophisticated people. We're making highly complex, highly sophisticated pieces, and it takes a very discerning connoisseur's eye to see and appreciate this. AD PRO: Tell us about the Radiant Table. FP: I think we put something like a thousand hours into that table. We had a parcel of Aucoumea crotch wood that had one of the most active and spectacular grain patterns that I had ever seen. The wood grain drives the design, and I think that's a really nice way to work. We like to let the wood do the talking—we kind of let Mother Nature speak her own voice.

The Radiant Table. Photo: Courtesy of Pollaro Custom Furniture AD PRO: And for the Aquatic Art piece made partially out of eggshells, the shells came from your own chickens. FP: We wanted large brown eggs, and we wanted a bird that was capable of being okay in the weather here [in New Jersey] during the winter, because they do hang out outside. So, these are hybrid chickens called Red Stars.

https://www.architecturaldigest.com/story/pollaro-custom-furniture-is-the-savile-row-ofthe-decor-industry


AD PRO: How many eggs did you use? FP: There’s got to be a few hundred. AD PRO: It’s very intricate work. FP: Two people worked on that, and it probably took six or seven months. It's slow going. With that eggshell, we only lay maybe a six-inch by six-inch area in a day.

The Teak and Titanium Exterior Club Chair. Photo: Pollaro Custom Furniture AD PRO: On the other end of the spectrum, your Club Chair has more than meets the eye. FP: Half of our production every year is chairs. We tailor each chair to the exact dimensions of the client who's going to sit in that chair. It's like a tailored suit. And many client couples will come to us with two very different body types, shapes, and weights. We can make them a pair of club chairs that look identical, but [feel] completely different, because they're tailored to the body of each person.

https://www.architecturaldigest.com/story/pollaro-custom-furniture-is-the-savile-row-ofthe-decor-industry


AD PRO: The Club Chair is made of teak and titanium—how did you decide on that? FP: This was born out of a conversation with Larry Ellison that we had probably in 2006 or 2007. We had furnished his yacht, and he and I got to talking about materials. He said, “You know, you really ought to do something using titanium as an accent; it’s completely impervious to all salt.” And we wanted to build it to withstand the elements. These things are being put onto the decks of superyachts, and they're also being put on terraces in backyards.

8 Salon Art + Design 2019 Standouts Maison Gerard, Charles Burnand, and Apparatus have some of the New York fair’s can’t-miss moments By Nicole Anderson Salon Art + Design kicked off its eighth edition Thursday night inside the stately Park Avenue Armory, and there was plenty to feast the eyes on, from Egyptian antiquities and midcentury Italian furnishings to contemporary ceramics. This year, the fair has expanded its reach, presenting 56 design galleries from 13 different countries. "I think many [collectors] were drawn by the knowledge that we included a much greater range of material,” executive director Jill Bokor tells AD PRO. One of Salon’s trademarks are the immersive environments that the exhibitors are encouraged to create inside the capacious Drill Hall, contextualizing the works in both familiar and dreamlike settings of their own making. There’s a lot to take in, so AD PRO has rounded up some of the highlights, on view until Salon Art + Design closes on November 18.

Apparatus Apparatus's installation inside the Amory’s library provides a dramatic stage for its latest collection, Interlude, featuring intricate, hand-embroidered sconces and screens, a biomorphicshaped marble table, and an eel-skin clad cabinet, to name a few. "Our Interlude collection is about utilizing rich materials and processes in a balance between a decorative tradition and modernity. We talked a lot about the collection existing in this sort of historical fantasy and suspended in time,” Apparatus founder and creative director Gabriel Hendifar tells AD PRO. "When we had the opportunity to take on the library of the Armory it all felt very natural, and an honor to bring the work into a space that has such a history.”

Her Plume Dining Table, made of white onyx, takes center stage at Cristina Grajales Gallery. “The table is so heavy and solid, but light and translucent at the very same time. It's truly sublime,” Grajales tells AD PRO. “Gloria’s new design is made out of an ancient stone, sourced from a Mexican quarry that has been active since the 7th century.”

Works by Chris Schanck, including his wall-suspended Oubliette Bar, punctuate the Friedman Benda booth. Photo: Peter Baker Chris Schanck at Friedman Benda Detroit-based artist Chris Schanck is a master of contrast and storytelling, weaving together unexpected materials, methods, and typologies into his designs. His Oubliette Bar—made of wood, aluminum foil, resin, and Carrara marble—is a cross between brutalism and fantasy. “Inspired by a medieval fortress, the oubliette is an apothecary for the chic witch," explains Schanck. "Its doors hide away your spirits in two marble chambers—with an accompanying lavender-cast glass to drink your potions and elixirs."

She turned to renowned artisan Stephen Antonson who created a plaster fireplace surround to showcase the panels. Now visitors can experience these intricate mosaics in person, featuring a lively scene of grazing animals and Native American hunters.

Alexandra Champalimaud's collection for Charles Burnand is inspired by glaciers. Photo: Peter Baker Alexandra Champalimaud with Charles Burnand Alexandra Champalimaud is known for the sumptuous interiors she’s designed for high-profile clients, and Charles Burnand is behind some of today’s most exquisite bespoke lighting and furniture. So it comes as no surprise that when the two joined forces for a limited-edition capsule collection, the results were impressive. "A lot of my design inspiration comes from nature and the world around me," Champalimaud explains to AD PRO. "For this capsule collection, I was inspired by the magnitude and graciousness of glaciers; their volume and their majesty moves me." The collaboration was a no-brainer, says Simon Stewart, founder and creative director of Charles Burnand, adding, "Alexandra leads a company with a design aesthetic very much aligned to ours."

Mathieu Lehanneur's Inverted Gravity line consists of marble tables and sideboards that float on glass orbs. Photo: Courtesy of Mathieu Lehanneur Mathieu Lehanneur Drawing inspiration from the building’s rich history, designer Mathieu Lehanneur has transformed the regal Colonel’s Room into a dreamlike refuge which he has fittingly named the Soldier’s Retreat. Lehanneur balances a technical prowess with a poetic sense of form and movement, which is embodied in his most recent collection, Inverted Gravity, consisting of ethereal glass and marble tables and sideboards. “Appearances can mislead and our perceptions tend to lie to us. The apparent fragility can hide huge resistance, and what seems massive may be lighter than it seems,” explains Lehanneur. “Inverted Gravity is a magic tour in the real world, a paradox of perceptions.” https://www.architecturaldigest.com/story/8-salon-art-design-2019-standouts


Niamh Barry's bronze and LED Muscularity fixture is shown at Maison Gerard. Photo: Courtesy of Maison Gerard Niamh Barry at Maison Gerard Dublin-based artist Niamh Barry blurs the line between design and sculpture with her large-scale bronze and LED installations. You’ll find her newest light fixture, aptly called Muscularity, suspended from the ceiling of Maison Gerard. Made from solid, hand-formed bronze and LEDs, the piece took 850 hours for Barry to make in her studio over the course of a year. “It is the expression of the movement of the body, and the strength and that muscular form you see underneath the skin,” she explains.

From his experimental wall blocks to his round coffee tables, he turns the ceramic surfaces into a textured canvas for his color-saturated, graffiti-inspired graphics. This installation coincides with the Future Perfect’s larger series of exhibitions, called "Mess," presenting ceramic works by 32 artists across its three location in Los Angeles, New York, and San Francisco.

Dos GALERÍAS españolas participan en el Salón de DISEÑO y ARTE de Nueva York El arte y el diseño inundan (aún más) la ciudad de Nueva York con la celebración del Salon Art + Design del 14 al 18 de noviembre que, en su octava edición contará con 56 galerías, entre ellas dos españolas. By Sara Barrag​á​n Del Rey

La feria ​Salon Art + Design regresa en su octava edición al Park Avenue Armory en la ciudad de ​Nueva York del 14 al 18 de noviembre, con la presencia de 56 ​galerías de ​arte y ​diseño de todo el mundo, entre ellas las españolas ​Garrido Gallery y Side Gallery. https://www.revistaad.es/decoracion/diseno/articulos/dos-galerias-espanolas-participan-elsalon-de-diseno-y-arte-de-nueva-york/24293


El diseño coleccionable moderno, contemporáneo y vintage inunda este año las exposiciones, junto a piezas de gran valor artísitco, organizadas en espacios inmersivos y de gran calidad. Un evento en el que lo ecléctico dialoga con piezas de iconos y maestros del diseño, que comparten espacio con artistas y diseñadores emergentes. La oportunidad es única para conocer las tendencias actuales y recuperar la historia, tan interesante para coleccionistas como para todo tipo de públicos. "Salon siempre se ha enorgullecido de ser una plataforma para lo mejor de lo vintage y diseño contemporáneo", nos cuenta el director de la feria, Jill Bokor. "A medida que se expanden los límites del diseño coleccionable, esperamos que esta feria sirva para reflejar y predecir lo que será interesante para los coleccionistas y diseñadores". Las galerías presentes representan el diseño y el arte de 13 países diferentes, dando así un panorama mundial de la situación y tendencias del sector, y convirtiéndose en un evento que el año pasado recibió la visita de cerca de 12.500 personas.. "Casi la mitad de nuestros expositores son de otros países, por lo que solo su presencia hace que la feria sea interesante para un público internacional. El público internacional se interesa por esta feria por su tamaño relativamente pequeño. Además, reúne a gran variedad de distribuidores que no suelen estar reunidos en ninguna otra feria del mundo", explica Bokor. En esta octava edición, entre las galerías participantes, destaca la incorporación de nuevas galerías de Líbano, Rusia, Reino Unido y España. "La excelencia del material y la reputación son los criterios más importantes para la admisión de las galerías", nos dice Bokor. "Después de eso, se trata de presentar la mejor combinación de material: vintage, moderno y contemporáneo. Siempre pedimos ver imágenes de otros ​stands o exposiciones que nuestros solicitantes han hecho, ya que nos preocupamos mucho por la estética del ​stand.​"

SILLA 'LEVE', DISEÑADAS POR JOAQUIM TERNEIRO, 1942. Con estos criterios también fueron seleccionadas las dos galerías españolas que en este 2019 están presentes en la feria: Garrido Gallery y Side Gallery. La galería de los hermanos ​Juan y Paloma Garrido, afincados en Madrid, presenta en su ​stand su nueva Colección Fold, una interpretación del mundo natural en metales preciosos. Como nos cuentan los propios hermanos,

https://www.revistaad.es/decoracion/diseno/articulos/dos-galerias-espanolas-participan-elsalon-de-diseno-y-arte-de-nueva-york/24293


creadores de las piezas, "las formas se basan en formaciones geológicas como los glaciares y el hielo. El diseño geométrico y los acabados superficiales que se ven en toda la colección se prestan a partir de las exquisitas formas de hielo que se ven en la naturaleza". La colección, esmerilada en tonos cálidos y con materiales de lujo, consta de espectaculares paredes de arte, diván, pedestales, apliques y mesa de café. Fundada por Damian Garrido en la década de 1950, la Galería Garrido siempre se ha enraizado en la tradición española de la herrería de plata. Utilizando las técnicas de plata establecidas desde hace mucho tiempo, Garrido Gallery produce piezas excepcionales en metales preciosos, rindiendo homenaje a esta antigua forma de dominio. "Hoy Garrido se caracteriza por la artesanía tradicional y el diseño de vanguardia, con todas las piezas elaboradas en ediciones limitadas en nuestro taller en Madrid", nos cuentan los diseñadores. "Creemos que es crucial contribuir al desarrollo de este oficio, siendo Salon Art + Design la oportunidad perfecta para crear más conciencia sobre este arte extraordinario y conocer más personas con ideas afines". Para ellos, estar presentes en esta feria es también una manera de estar al tanto de los últimos movimientos artísticos, inspirarse para crear nuevos trabajos y conocer a nuevos públicos.

MESA 'RECTANGULAR FOLDS' La otra galería española, ​Side Gallery, presenta un diálogo de piezas históricas y contemporáneas. "Desde un punto de vista histórico, presentaremos algunas piezas fuertes de Geraldo de Barros, que se relacionan con una exposición individual que el Museo Opelvillen de Frankfurt está exhibiendo actualmente, con nuestras piezas prestadas. Para complementar el diseño brasileño, también presentamos piezas de Jorge Zalszupin y Oscar Niemeyer. Desde un punto de vista contemporáneo, presentaremos una nueva pieza de Muller Van Severen, que forma parte de una nueva serie que se lanzará en la galería en 2020, algunos textiles de Sophie Rowley, una joven artista con sede en Berlín, y una nueva pieza de Sabine Marcelis", nos cuentan. Esta es la primera vez que Side Gallery participa en esta feria de Nueva York y, como nos explican, es una gran oportunidad para expandir el negocio y conocer a más clientes. "Estamos muy emocionados de ser parte de la mejor feria de diseño en Nueva York. Hemos https://www.revistaad.es/decoracion/diseno/articulos/dos-galerias-espanolas-participan-elsalon-de-diseno-y-arte-de-nueva-york/24293


escuchado grandes cosas de la feria y creemos que coincidirá con nuestras expectativas", aseguran desde la galería.

Hermanos Garrido La octava edición del Salon Art + Desing, se celebra del 14 al 18 de noviembre en el Park Avenuye Armory. Allí, un total de 56 galerías de todo el mundo expondrán una selección de piezas coleccionables de arte y diseño. Dos de ellas son españolas. La ​Galería Garrido, presenta algunas de sus piezas más emblemáticas, diseñadas por los hermanos Garrido, como la ​Oval Quartz Low Table,​ con su impresionante color champagne.

Mesa puzzle La mesa ​Rectangular Folds​ es otra de la piezas que presentan los hermanos Garrido.

Salon Art + Design

Lionel Jadot, “Blue Tie Roofing,” 2019. Image courtesy of Todd Merrill Studio.

November 14–18, 2019 The word salon has a long history. A social gathering in the room or under the roof of an inspiring host—or hostess—the salon began in 16th-century Italy, but was brought to a pitch of perfection in 17th- and 18th-century France. Its hallmarks? Sophisticated wit, sparkling intellect, style to die for. Salon Art + Design, which returns to the Park Avenue Armory for its eighth edition, is an international fair that encourages its exhibiting galleries (56 this year, from 14 countries) to present vintage, modern, and contemporary art and design in an immersive and inspiring setting—witty, sparkling, stylish. —L.J.

A BEAUTIFUL COLLECTION From delicate glasswork featured in Frida Fjellman’s Crystal Atmosphere to intricate woodwork in Michael Hurwitz’s creations, the Salon Art + Design fair shows the breadth of interior trends. The event, Nov. 14–18 at the Park Avenue Armory in New York City, features 56 galleries representing 14 countries. The salon spotlights what’s current in the world of collectible design. Work ranges from furniture to light fixtures to paintings, and includes pieces

from prominent designers such as Frank Lloyd Wright. In its eighth year, the fair features more international work than ever before, with countries such as Russia and Brazil being represented with salon galleries. In the ABA Gallery, visitors can find paintings by Russian artists, such as Vasilii Ermilov’s Suprematist Composition and Alexandra Exter’s Two Women with a

Lyre. In the Brazilian Legado Arte gallery, visitors can see Giuseppe Scapinelli’s 1950s armchair in blue suede and wood. Other works include Misha Kahn’s found-object assemblages, Maison Rapin’s stone-and-steel tables, and Voukenas Petrides’ tubular, reflective Bent half tube chair bronze. Visit thesalonny.com for more information. —Andrew Waite

SEEN IN NEW LIGHT The 1902 Soldiers & Sailors Monument was built to honor members of the military with a display of modern art in Indianapolis’ Monument Circle. Now, the 284.5-foot limestone monument, and the area surrounding it, will be seen in new light. Beginning Nov. 9, Monument Circle will be the site of Shining a Light, a permanent, seasonally themed display celebrating our country. The show occurs at dusk, 365 days a year. A 5-minute multimedia experience set to an original composition by Emmy winner John Colby will paint the monument with red, white and blue light, and video projections will illuminate buildings and statues. As the music crescendos, four beams of light will meet atop the monument. For more information, visit downtownindy.org/shiningalight. —Andrew Waite

Budding Brood New York gallery fair Salon Art + Design seeks to attract a younger audience By Adrian Madelener

Header image: Vaso by Audrey Large, Nilufar (Courtesy the gallery) Taking over New York’s Park Avenue Armory for its eight editions this November, prestigious gallery fair Salon Art + Design is seeking to draw in a younger collector base. Though exhibiting galleries have been charged with presenting more affordable pieces, this year’s offering of both vintage and contemporary wares promises to elate all tastes.

https://aninteriormag.com/salon_art_design_2019/


A far more restrained and arguably refined offering than other somewhat boisterous gallery fairs that dot the annual calendar, the Salon Art + Design (November 14 to 18) brings together a highly select group of 56 collectible and vintage design galleries from around the world. Taking center stage this year are Paris’s Galerie BSL—presenting Pia Maria Raeder’s wonderfully ornate yet organically-formed Stardust benches and mirrors—newcomer WonderGlass—the independent practice’s Venetian-inspired glass sculptures—and Cologne’s ammann// gallery—showing new large-scale prints by famed Swiss architecture photographer Hélène Binet.

New exhibitors this year include galleries from Russia, Brazil, and Lebanon. Objects range from an ancient bust circa 1000 BC to the newest trends including work made from a 3D printer. Other notable exhibitors will include Demisch Danant, Friedman Benda, Gallery FUMI, The Future Perfect, David Gill Gallery, Giustini / Stagetti, Cristina Grajales Gallery, Heller Gallery, J. Lohmann Gallery, Maison Gerard, Todd Merrill Studio, Sarah Myerscough Gallery, Nilufar Gallery, Patrick Parrish Gallery, Priveekollektie, Adrian Sassoon, Twenty First Gallery, and more. https://aninteriormag.com/salon_art_design_2019/


Special installations will reveal that an increasing number of design studios are seeking to enter the market on their own, bypassing representation. Among the offering, which also includes brand-sponsored showcases from Vogue Italia and Lalique, New York-based practice Apparatus will mount it’s own spatial project as will French designer Mathieu Lehanneur. A rigorous lecture program and designer tour series will explore the wider world of collector culture and address pressing issues such as sustainability and craft production.

orna per l’ottava edizione al Park Avenue Armory, dal 14 al 18 novembre, The Salon Art + Design, rassegna di design e arte contemporanea organizzata da Sanford L. Smith + Associates, storica società americana promotrice di mostre d’arte e antiquarie. Come ogni anno vengono presentati importanti arredi di design vintage, moderno e contemporaneo accanto a opere d’arte del XX e XXI secolo.

denze del settore. The Salon si differenzia da altre fiere analoghe perché presenta un mix altamente selezionato di arredi storici e moderni, di oggetti da collezione e di opere d’arte contemporanea, che spaziano dal Bauhaus all’Art déco, dagli Anni 50 ai nostri giorni. Il successo della rassegna sta proprio nell’alta qualità delle proposte, tutte rigorosamente selezionate da una commissione di vetting; dall’internazionalità delle gallerie; dall’eclettismo degli oggetti esposti e dalla presenza di un pubblico vario, che unisce giovani collezionisti, esperti del mercato, designer e appassionati del settore. Le proposte. Gli espositori

combinano stili, generi e periodi differenti, ma di gusto universale e senza tempo. Phoenix ancient art di New York, ad esempio, specializzato in reperti di archeologia classica, presenta una testa in marmo di epoca romana del II secolo, mentre la Galerie de la Béraudière di Bruxelles, che tratta lavori del XX secolo, porta una scultura in bronzo di Rembrandt Bugatti. Nell’ambito degli arredi,

Innovative Style At Salon Art + Design by Greg Smith

Maison Gerard, New York City NEW YORK CITY – Suffice to say, there’s a lot that went on in the Big Apple in November. But unique among the lures of commercial art – throwing around elbows between the $1-plus billion that changed hands at the top three houses when the Twentieth Century and Contemporary sales preceded the American art sales, and then on to the private gallery events and the American Art Fair – was the rather luxe Salon Art + Design, a show that trots the globe for you and brings it all, wrapped up nicely, to the Park Avenue Armory each year. This year’s November 14-18 edition saw 56 galleries come together from all over the world – exactly half of which were domestic, or with a domestic branch location – to present historical and contemporary design and art. https://www.antiquesandthearts.com/innovative-style-at-salon-of-art-design/


This included rare examples from practitioners of furniture-as-art, bench-made and computerdriven design, works of art from Twentieth Century masters, historic design from iconic movements, antiquities, studio glass, ceramics and more. The Salon’s executive director Jill Bokor saw attendance at the fairs eighth edition rise to 13,500, a small bump from last year. As computer-driven design ramps up in the Twenty-First Century, the Salon’s show floor – a meeting place of new and old, refined and exuberant, representational and abstract – is apt to feature it and create a dialogue that spans history. And to steer that dialogue are the galleries, many of which will focus in either new or old, a scant few with both, but all of which possess the expertise and knowledge of the great design index through the ages. And that the Salon combines these galleries, in what has become the best design show in New York City, raises the earning of its own notecard and place in that index. “We hit every decade of the Twentieth Century,” Bokor said, speaking to the broad range of material on the floor. “I tried to hit that for the past five years and I think we did that this year.” On the spread between historic and contemporary offerings, Bokor said, “In terms of material brought and bought, we kept about as much vintage, and maybe even brought a little more vintage back this year. I wouldn’t mind having a little more historic material on the floor. But the contemporary work sold strongly. I think because there are antique shows, and Design Miami is contemporary, I think people want the mix, but they’ve seen less of the contemporary work and it’s exciting to them. In historic design, things like Italian vintage walks right out of here, but there’s a fascination with new material.”

As we filtered through our responses to the show this year, the word came back that floor sales were slow for a majority. Dealers had a hard time breaking even with the cost that comes associated with exhibiting at the Park Avenue Armory. That response has become a standard for almost every show in the Park Avenue Armory. It is, no doubt, known as a risky and high-value venue. Reasons offered included a crowded November calendar, an uncertain economy, the impeachment proceedings against Donald Trump and others. These sentiments apply to the market as a whole. It still did not change the fact that show manager Sanford L. Smith + Associates put on an astute show filled with some of the best design you’ll ever see in one place outside of a museum in New York. When asked if she has any thoughts on leaving the Armory, Bokor responded in the negative. “For many of these dealers, without the Armory, they don’t want to come. The real truth is that the real fulcrum of the show is the location. Even if I do hear some grumbling, we will surely be there for at least two more years.” A lineup of interactive talks and special exhibitions made sure to round out this year’s offerings, and Bokor reflected on their success, saying, “It was one of the great new strengths of the show this year. The reception was almost as strong as the show on the floor. The quality of them was unbelievable, we’ve never had people like this doing our special exhibitions before.” In the exhibition by Lalique, British wall covering atelier Fromental created an installation influenced by the three F’s that define the Lalique brand: femme, flora and fauna. Design studios Apparatus, Pollaro and French designer Mathieu Lehanneur were all on hand to exhibit their latest work. And curated by Vogue Italia and artistic director and haute jewelry designer Alexandra Mor, “The Protagonist” exhibition showcased jewelry design by 15 studios. Bokor also saw a good turnout on the booth talks at Wexler Gallery, Todd Merrill Studio and Heritage Gallery. “There were incredible talks,” she said, “this was a place where we saw improvement. Every single talk was oversubscribed, and that did not happen last year. The idea of programming at the Salon is something that has taken a while for visitors to understand, and they were well-received this year.” The Salon’s “Conversations” series featured six forums with architects, designers, journalists and other leaders, while six tours were offered and led by notable designers throughout the show run.

New York City’s Heller Gallery brought glass works from Steffen Dam, Toots Zynsky, Lino Tagliapietra, Eric Rosenfeld and more. There was perhaps no greater link on the show floor between contemporary computer-driven design and historic bench-made furniture than the work of UK-designer Gareth Neal, who was exhibiting with London’s Sarah Myerscough Gallery. Neal’s exhibition surveyed the designer’s latest experiments with 3D computer drawing, new materials and CNC processes. On exhibit was a large vessel from his “SiO2″ series, which is formed with machine cutting from a block of silica. “We’ve really gone to town studying traditional pottery,” Neal told Antiques and The Arts Weekly, explaining how he created these vessels to emulate the wall thickness and build of examples made today and throughout history in pottery studios. But Gareth’s techniques afford him a new aesthetic in a new medium, evident in the tidal contour patterns in this vessel and its texture and shape, which is not unlike the voluptuous figure of an ancient Venus figurine. Gareth is working on a series of essays that challenge the notions of craftsmanship in relation to the hand. He contrasts the idea of risk, associated with handwork, with the idea of precision, associated with machine work. But he makes note that when we travel into uncharted waters, like a CNC machine cutting through a block of silica, the results are not always perfect at first – refinement and risk still applies. The example on exhibit here, the first of its series, took three drafts to perfect before he was able to finish with only a toothbrush. Speaking of antiquities, Phoenix Ancient Art brought with them an offering from the collection of Dr Walter Gilbert, a Nobel Prize-winning scientist and exhibiting artist. Together with his wife Celia, the couple amassed an important collection that spoke of the birth of Western art around the Mediterranean Basin to Asia and Mesoamerica, focusing specifically on Greece, Rome, Etruria, Egypt and Mesopotamia. Highlights here included a Roman micromosaic emblema in a stone tesserae from the First Century CE, depicting a long-haired lap dog sitting on a stool with a brush close by. Also here was a Phoenician engraved shell with the head of the Egyptian god Horus from the Seventh Century BCE. “It was probably a cult piece,” said the gallery’s curator Alexander Kruglov, “maybe for libations.” The shell featured images of rams on it, which were sacrificial https://www.antiquesandthearts.com/innovative-style-at-salon-of-art-design/


animals. The decoration to both front and back signify the great care that was taken to make this piece, which likely had ceremonial use. A selection of world-class early Twentieth Century American decorative arts was on exhibit with New York City’s Bernard Goldberg Fine Arts. On one wall hung three stencils from Prairie School architect George Grant Elmslie, who worked with Frank Lloyd Wright at the office of Joseph Lyman Silsbee and then Dankmar Adler and Louis Sullivan. Elmslie was Sullivan’s chief draftsman and ornamental designer. In 1909, Elmslie joined William Gray Purcell and George Feick Jr to create an architectural practice of their own. Feick left three years later, and the firm of Purcell and Elmslie would go on to be the second most commissioned architectural firm of the Prairie School behind Frank Lloyd Wright. The stencils on hand with Bernard Goldberg dated to the Purcell and Elmslie era, circa 1915. “They’re a hallmark of his style,” research associate Lisa Rotmil told us. “The abstracted leaves and buds and a stretched-out pelt – he used all of these motifs with a natural base and would modernize them.” The gallery also featured the evolving and contrasting styles of Edgar Brandt, found in a circa 1925 wrought iron mantel clock in the artist’s delicate and highly detailed naturalist style, which contrasted with the Machine Age aesthetic of a pair of chrome-plated lamps with Daum shades that Brandt produced in 1931. We can still recall the 2018 booth of Dutch gallery Priveekollektie Contemporary Art | Design, and we have no doubt that the 2019 booth will stick with us as well. At the front of it was “Armor II,” a full-size suit of arms in white porcelain and natural leather by Hans van Houwelingen. Two tables, “Golden Lagoon,” with a glass base, and “Secret Lagoon,” with a bronze base, were part of Reinier Bosch’s “The Melting Series” of furniture, which features robust drops of glimmering gold bronze dripping from the edges of the tabletop. The gallery wrote that Bosch’s series is connected to the capture of a single moment in time, as if to suspend it for eternal viewing.

Paul Donzella said he wished he had more of the illuminated flower glass wall sculptures on the back wall. The 1972 works were custom commissions from Murano glass studio Cenedese and were originally mounted to the ceiling of the bar at the Lido Hotel on Lido Island off Venice, Italy. Both sold. Donzella, New York City. By the time we rolled through New York City gallery Donzella’s booth on the first full day of the show, a red dot graced one of the two circa 1972 “Margherita” illuminated wall sculptures by Murano glass studio Cenedese, depicting a 45-inch diameter daisy flower. He sold the second shortly after, and a third that is still in Italy. The sculptures were originally mounted to the ceiling of the bar at the Lido Hotel on Lido Island off Venice, Italy. Vintage Italian design was found throughout the booth, including a pair of “Regent” lounge chairs, circa 1960, by Marco Zanuso and lighting designs by Angelo Lelli for Arredoluce. “For me, there was a very strong designer presence during the fair,” owner Paul Donzella said. “Certainly collectors, too. I feel like the Salon has matured into the best NYC fair for Twentieth and Twenty-First Century material. The energy is always fantastic and I think Jill Bokor has done a stellar job in curating such a strong collection of gallerists to partner with.” Italian design was also found with Jim Elkind at New York City’s Lost City Arts, which recently moved to the New York Design Center at Lexington Avenue between 32nd & 33rd Street. The gallery featured a rare “adjustable” furniture suite by Italian architect-designer Gio Ponti, consisting of two lounges and a table. “I just made a trip to Italy this past summer and we brought these back,” Elkind said, as well as other pieces in the booth. “The adjustable pieces were made for domestic consumption and they’re quite special.” The Ponti chairs would recline back to various degrees and even flatten out to a bench form. Moderne Gallery, Philadelphia, treated visitors with a selection of blackened maple seating by furniture artist John Eric Byers in his signature uniform dimpled, chip-carved surface. The furniture framed in an original 1956 collage by John Cage that was designed for textile designer Jack Lenor Larsen’s holiday card that year. Larsen liked it so much he commissioned Cage to do the 1957 card, and Cage would go on to become Larsen’s artistic director for the next 40 years. Gallery owner Robert Aibel related a few sales of ceramics from American artist Estelle Halper, but said his other offerings – from American craftsmen and women George Nakashima, David Ebner and Miriam Carpenter – fell flat. “The show got more publicity than ever before, word of mouth was strong,” Aibel said. “Everyone I met seemed to know about the show… Attendance seemed strong, and I thought that the show never looked better. It also had a very eclectic mix of great pieces. I really don’t know of a better-looking show with quality pieces of great design in many different styles.” He added, “though personally I’d always like to see more vintage material.” Moscow-based Heritage International Art Gallery brought a range of historic design furniture from that country that elicited much interest, as so little Soviet-era and Russian design makes its way stateside. Among them was a carved oak folding screen and tribune designed by Alexander Dmitriev circa 1934 that was made for the children’s military labor commune Lenoblono. Both featured state symbols, including the hammer and sickle, as well as compass stars and leader profiles. The five-part screen was made to wrap around the tribune when it was not in use. This gallery held a booth talk during the show and it was very well-attended.

Designs from Harvey Ellis, Gio Ponti, C.F.A. Voysey, Wendell Castle and Greene & Greene were on show with Geoffrey Diner Gallery, Washington, DC. Historic design was also on show with Geoffrey Diner Gallery, Washington, DC. Flanking a monumental 1985 oil on canvas painting by Helen Frankenthaler titled “Cinquecento” were a set of three 1967 Mushroom Stools by Wendell Castle and an entry hall lantern from Arts and Crafts architect-designer Greene & Greene. The 1907 lantern of inlaid mahogany and a greenish-yellow stained glass with natural motifs originated from the Blacker House in Pasadena, Calif. Other Arts and Crafts offerings included a three-panel oak screen with pewter and copper inlay by Harvey Ellis for Gustav Stickley, circa 1904, and a Donegal carpet by UK designer/architect C.F.A. Voysey. Voysey’s carpets were very popular during his era, so much so that Stickley sold them in his stores. Looking forward to next year, Bokor did not see any glaring points that need to change and she expects about 80 percent of dealers to return. Though she did speak with general uncertainty about what lies ahead for what is sure to be an extremely tumultuous 2020. “Despite the strength of the stock market, there’s an incredible unease in every way here. And it absolutely trickles down to sales. I think everyone is right to be concerned – everyone that’s running a show.” We have little doubt that this event will weather that storm, whichever way it blows. The next edition will be November 19-23, 2020. For information, 212-777-5218 or www.thesalonny.com.

Golden Prospects:

“Gold miners with sluice” by unknown maker, California, circa 1852. Daguerreotype, quarter plate, 3¼ by 4¼ inches.

BY KARLA KLEIN ALBERTSON KANSAS CITY, MO. — At the midpoint of the Nineteenth Century, photography in the form of daguerreotypes and ambrotypes was able to capture the actual appearance of people and their surroundings with greater accuracy than artistic portraits and landscapes. By the time news of the discovery of gold in California was widely published in 1849, camera techniques had achieved enough mobility that photographers could travel not only to major cities but even to the small settlements and mountain areas where actual prospecting was underway. The frenzy which drew eager amateurs westward is easy to comprehend, for gold is a gleaming thread that runs through the history of the world. Whether it emerges from Egyptian

tombs or English fields, gold is the rare substance which survives the ravages of time bright and unaltered. Therein lies its value and the promise of riches for those who find it. By land and sea routes, people flocked to the gold fields not only from the East Coast and Europe but also from Canada, South America, Asia and Australia. Early images of people and places involved in this special quest — over 90 in all — are the subject of a new traveling exhibition, “Golden Prospects: Daguerreotypes of the California Gold Rush,” organized by the NelsonAtkins Museum of Art, which will travel to venues in New England in 2020. For some exhibitions, touring the galleries is a complete experience. To better understand these small images, however, the well-researched accompa-

nying catalog provides a key that unlocks multiple facets of that special period. The chapters explain not only the techniques of early photography and the methods by which gold could be mined but also explore the origin and social composition of the fortuneseekers who transformed California’s cities and altered population trends on the West Coast. The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art is perfectly equipped to organize an exhibition of this significance. The beautifully-constructed institution, which opened in 1933, is one of the great Midwestern museum palaces created by wealthy donors in the Twentieth Century. Strong in multiple areas with more than 35,000 objects in its permanent collection, the museum is perhaps best known for one of the most impor-

tant collections of Chinese art in the Western Hemisphere. In 2007, the architecturally innovative Bloch building was added to the complex, and the photography galleries are located there. Museum director Julián Zugazagoitia wrote in his foreword to the catalog: “As part of our comprehensive survey of Nineteenth Century American photographs, NAMA has one of the nation’s largest holdings of California daguerreotypes and ambrotypes. As a result, more than half the works in the accompanying exhibition are drawn from our permanent collection. This museum began exhibiting photographs in 1936 and made its first major purchase in 1957. In late 2005, it was ( continued on page 12C )

transformed with the acquisition of the famed 6,500-piece Hallmark Photographic Collection.” The Hall family and the Hallmark company they founded are based in Kansas City. Exhibition organizer and curator of photography Jane Aspinwall worked with their photographic collection before its donation to the museum, but her study of Gold Rush images has even deeper roots in the research that she undertook for her doctorate: “I started making research trips around 2014 and have visited many, many collections. I think, I visited 33 different institutions and private collections in order to amass this database. Almost everything I discovered was new — something I didn’t know that existed. I was able to make attributions that hadn’t been apparent without amassing this critical amount of material. “For George H. Johnson, who was one of the preeminent daguerreotypists of outdoor views in the gold region, there’s a nice body of work — about seven or eight views he took at Grizzly Flats, and it gives a great insight into his methods. He looked at multiple viewpoints and was really kind of working the scene. That was something that was quite surprising to me, because we think of daguerreotypists as setting up the camera, taking one picture, then packing up and moving on. So, it was interesting to see him getting the most out of that locale.”

“Portrait of miner with tools” by unknown maker, circa 1852. Daguerreotype, quarter plate, 4¼ by 3¼ inches. —Gift of Hallmark Cards, Inc.

For viewers whose only miner image is drawn from old Yosemite Sam cartoons, the portraits of individual gold seekers will be a revelation. Where now we take selfies to show the world that we were really there, in the 1850s, having left behind families and taken great risks to travel to the West Coast, the men involved wanted a daguerreotype that recorded their involvement and even their success in this dangerous undertaking. They hold picks and shovels or pans with a bit of gold. Some have pistols to discourage robbery. Looking into their faces links our humanity with theirs. Some, thanks perhaps to period hairstyles, appear exotic, but others might be a high school teacher or local grocer. The curator remarks, “You can’t help but be drawn to the studio portraits of the miners holding the tools of their trade and dressed in their working attire. How important they thought it was to be shown as miners, they knew that they were participating in this epic event.” A second theme for the daguerreotypes in the exhibition is expressed in many images of prospectors actually working in the field, surrounded by their equipment. The techniques are discussed in a catalog chapter titled “‘Finding the color’: The Evolution of Mining Technologies.” An excellent example is a whole plate daguerreotype printed on the front endsheet, “Large Mining Operation at North Fork of the American River,” circa 1852, taken by George H. Johnson (1823circa 1880s). The scene is filled with dozens of prospectors surrounded by rocks, water, wheelbarrows and devices. Two of the men have a girl child in tow, in an early example of Take-Your-DaughterTo-Work Day. Equally interesting to historians are views of the small towns and camps where the workers bought supplies and food or tried to rest. Aspinwall comments, “That’s one of the advantages to covering this subject in a publication as well as in an exhibition. One thing that bothered me as I was getting these images together — how few showed nonwhite people or women or different races. If you looked at the pictorial record, you would think that the Gold Rush was just a white male experience, and, as we know, it clearly was not that.” Her chapter, “Diversity in the Gold Fields” discusses the role of African Americans and Asian immigrants in prospecting operations, illustrated with rare images. She continues, “In the catalog, I explore [the question] why do we not have more of these images? And try to get to the

“Johnson’s Daguerrean rooms” attributed to George H. Johnson (1823-circa 1880s) or Robert H. Vance (1825-1876), San Francisco, circa 1854–55. Daguerreotype, whole plate, 6½ by 8½ inches. —Gift of the Hall Family Foundation.

heart of where were these people, and were they mining? The standard historical questions you would ask about participation in the Gold Rush. We know that women were in all of these gold towns, and a lot of them were the unsung entrepreneurs of this time period. If they were able to cook and clean, they were able to support themselves and send money home and, in some cases, to become quite wealthy providing these different domestic services to the miners. We don’t hear about that very often at all.” Keith F. Davis, the senior curator of photography at the museum, contributed a chapter to the catalog on “The Urban Gold Rush: The Daguerreotype in San Francisco and Sacramento.” He writes about what the Gold Rush meant to the development of these cities: “Few of these new arrivals had any intention of staying in California — they aimed to strike it rich and return home… Nonetheless, in this fundamentally transient and exploitative endeavor, it was inevitable that something would stick. The money and people that did stay in the region gave rise to San Francisco, one of the nation’s most iconic cities, and Sacramento, the state capital.” The chapter is filled with view of the streets, shops and hotels as they appeared in the mid-Nineteenth Century as well as portraits of citizens who wanted their picture taken for posterity. In the former group is a panorama of San Francisco in 1851 created from five half-plate daguerreotypes, which is attributed to Sterling C. McIntyre (active 1844-1852). If you can mentally overlay the historical view on a TwentyFirst Century map, you know the city well. Among the portraits is an image of “Captain Harry Love and his California Rangers,” circa 1853, by an unknown maker — three armed gentlemen one should not sit down beside in a bar. Jane Aspinwall takes pride in the way the exhibits have been displayed for this show: “More times than not they’re put in a flat case with a single light on them. You’re moving around trying to see the image. Part of what I hope people would get out of this exhibition is how beautiful these early daguerreotypes are and how the early practitioners were not only technically proficient, but they had an aesthetic sensibility. When you have a group together, you can pick out stylistic differences.” In other words, they were accomplished artists, not just technicians. She concludes, “With the California Gold Rush in particular, I would hope people would see similarities between

what was going on in the Nineteenth Century and what goes on in the Twenty-First Century. A lot of the early issues — the ongoing debates about water rights, the fear of non-white immigration into California, the results of environmentally devastating mining processes like hydraulic mining and river mining — all these problems that arose so long ago are still issues in the West to this day. I think history is important.” For anyone who would like to get a feel for the down-to-earth grubbiness of the period through a fictionalized presentation, try Robert Altman’s acclaimed 1971 “revisionist western” McCabe and Mrs. Miller, set in a mining community, although few real inhabitants would be as handsome and well-nourished as Warren Beatty and Julie Christie. “Golden Prospects” will be on view in Kansas City until January 26. Then it will travel to the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, Mass., from April 4 to July 12, and on to the Yale University Art Gallery in New Haven, Conn., from August 8 to November 29. For those interested in studying more images of women from this period, two ongoing exhibitions at the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, DC: “Women of Progress: Early Camera Portraits” through May 31 features major figures in the social movements of the 1840s and 1850s; and “Storied Women of the Civil War Era” through May 8, 2022, underlines the expanded role of women during the conflict that broke out in the decade after the Gold Rush.

‘On The Road With Janis Joplin’ Opens At Gerald Peters Gallery SANTA FE, N.M. — The Gerald Peters Gallery, Santa Fe is presenting an exhibition “On the Road with Janis Joplin: Photographs by her road manager, John Byrne Cooke,” currently on view through November 30. John Byrne Cooke experienced the 1960s within the music of the counterculture. As a musician and rock road manager during this turbulent decade, Cooke was always taking photographs. His subjects span the transition from folk music to rock, including Bob Dylan and Joan Baez, Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix, to traditional musicians such as Doc Watson, Mississippi John Hurt and many more. As a member of the Charles

River Valley Boys bluegrass band in Cambridge, Mass., his musical home was Club 47, one of the principal wellsprings of the folk music boom. When folk gave way to rock and roll, Cooke moved to San Francisco, home of the HaightAshbury and acid rock, to become the road manager for Big Brother and the Holding Company and Janis Joplin. He wasn’t just another photographer hanging around in rehearsals and backstage, or trying to shoot from the wings during a concert. He wasn’t an outsider in the company of musicians. Cooke was a musician himself. He belonged. Cooke’s photographs reveal his unique perspective of these luminaries of folk and rock, shown both in perfor-

mance and in private moments offstage, including a photograph of Joplin two days before Cooke found her dead from a fatal heroin overdose on October 4, 1970. In recent years, Cooke’s photographs have appeared in books, magazines and television documentaries. His work offers a new archive of affectionate and revealing images from the fabled Sixties. Cooke died in September 2017. In conjunction with the exhibition, the Santa Fe Independent Film Festival will screen rarely seen film shorts of Janis Joplin. While traveling as her road manager, Cooke filmed Joplin and her band members on Fuji Single-8 film. This film has color superior to Kodak Super-8 and is

undimmed by the passage of 40 years. His footage provides a unique and intimate view of Joplin offstage as well as on.

F ine Arts Paris began in 2017 as a boutique affair of 34 dealers, and though it has now grown to 46 exhibitors – most of them French – it still prides itself on carefully crafted displays and museum-quality works. This year (13–17 November), the fair is looking to underscore its links with the museum world with an events programme that offers behind-the-scenes tours of various institutions. Visitors will also be treated to a first look at the Château de Fontainebleau’s most recent acquisition: a late 16th-century mythological scene by a follower of Francesco Primaticcio. La Piscine – the museum of art and industry in Roubaix – provides a pop-up display of works from its collection, by artists including Marc Chagall and Camille Claudel. At Galerie Charvet there is a selling exhibition on the theme of museum interiors; highlights include a painting of a man polishing the armour of a horse guard at the Royal Armoury in Turin, by the Piedmontese artist Giovanni Giani in 1892. One of the more curious objects on offer this year is a terracotta roundel of around 1855 by the Scottish artist Alexander Munro (Fig. 1), who moved to London in 1848 to work for Charles Barry and quickly fell in with the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. In around 1854 he carved a marble medallion for the Ashmolean in Oxford – one of few surviving portraits of John Everett Millais in his youth, showing a handsome profile with flowing locks. In the terracotta work now for sale at Galerie Chaptal, Munro depicts the painter’s hair pinned back by the wind, as though gliding through the sky; the bony wings of a bat are attached to his neck. The strong showing of sculpture this year also includes an exhibition at Galerie Malaquais of 10 works by the Catalan sculptor Manolo (Manuel Hugué), a close friend of Picasso; a Symbolist engraving in painted end-grain wood by Georges Aubert, completed under the direction of Odilon Redon, at Galerie Edouard Ambroselli; and a second or first century BC marble torso of Aphrodite, brought by newcomer Cahn International. 94

retrospective of her work is at Tate Modern next spring). Meanwhile, Also Known as Africa – France’s only fair dedicated to art and design from Africa and its diaspora – is once more at the Carreau du Temple (9–11 November). Four other fairs in Europe are worth a visit this month. At the 51st edition of Art & Antique Hofburg (9–17 November) in Vienna, the predominantly Austrian dealers present a typically wide range of fine and decorative arts. Christoph Bacher brings a marble relief of an ageing boxer, carved in Rome in the early 1st century AD, while Kovacek & Zetter offers Maria Lassnig’s Le jeu du destin (1999), an expansive, disconcerting canvas on which a frog-like figure flails in choppy waters. Works by Jugendstil and Vienna Secession designers feature; look out for Adolf Loos’s ‘Knieschwimmer’ chair at Galerie Susanne Bauer. In Belgium, Antica Namur continues to expand, with more than 130 European galleries making the trip to the Wallonian city (9–17 November). First-time participants include the Parisian gallery Tobogan Antiques, specialists in the Second Empire, and the Brussels-based gallery Artimo, whose marble sculptures from the 19th and early 20th centuries include Jef Lambeaux’s graceful reclining nude Repos (1900). Feriarte in Madrid (16–24 November) has more than 80 exhibitors, including both antique dealers and contemporary galleries. And in Cologne, the pre-eminent art and design fair is shaking things up for its 50th edition; under new leadership and with a new name, Cologne Fine Art & Design (21–24 November) brings together 95 German and international

dealers. Everything from antique furniture to contemporary painting is on offer, but there is a particular focus on 20th-century design, with three galleries from Berlin presenting a special exhibition marking the Bauhaus centenary. In New York, the eighth edition of the Salon Art + Design is taking place at the Park Avenue Armory from 14–18 November; alongside the predominantly American and European dealers, Legado Arte from São Paulo is participating for the first time this year, with furniture from contemporary designers alongside that of post-war Brazilian figures such as Giuseppe Scapinelli. Other newcomers include Moscow’s Heritage International Art Gallery. There are plenty of brand-new works on offer: Galerie BSL is premiering the ‘Stardust’ set by German artist Pia Maria Raeder – two benches and a mirror, constructed from tens of thousands of carved beechwood half-pearls coated in silver – but the fair also looks back to antiquity: Ariadne Galleries offers an Anatolian idol, carved from marble in the early Bronze Age (c. 3000–2400 BC). Elsewhere in the Big Apple, Nicholas Hall has curated ‘Faithful to Nature’, a selection of paintings by artists of the Lombard School, looking beyond Leonardo to later painters such as Tanzio da Varallo and Daniele Crespi (2–27 November; Fig. 3). Finally, at the start of December Art Basel Miami Beach takes centre stage in Florida (5–8 December). Alongside contemporary work from blue-chip galleries are 16 historical surveys, including Miriam Schapiro at Eric Firestone Gallery and Faith Ringgold at Pippy Houldsworth. o

As the eighth edition of the Salon Art + Design opens at the epic Park Avenue Armory in Manhattan, looks at London-based Chilean artist Fernando Casasempere’s abstract sculptures

T

he Park Avenue Armory in Manhattan is a spectacular space with its 140-year-old history as a military armoury and more recently, a cultural institution holding some of the most stunning performing and fine art exhibitions. This month, it is home to the Salon Art + Design fair, where 56 art galleries from 14 countries will be presenting contemporary art and design in the charming, historic rooms. Part of this showcase is a 95-kilogram clay sculpture by London-based Chilean artist Fernando Casasempere. Folded Organic Form (pictured) is part of a series of four sculptures that the artist—who is represented by British gallery Adrian Sassoon—created earlier this year in his sunlit studio in Hackney Wick. Each piece is sublimely connected to the other, sinuously bending like a dance company, although Casasempere’s intention is for them to convey their own individual narrative. “Yes, they are beautiful together, but I also like that they have their own life and soul to communicate this primordial, almost ritualistic quality about them,” says Casasempere. The free-standing sculptural pieces originated from humble beginnings—a big balloon of clay that was physically manipulated and shaped by Casasempere using the weight of his arms and legs to mould the piece into curvaceous forms. Casasempere spent close to three months mixing the clay sourced from industrial leftovers in his

ongoing attempt to find an artistic solution for material otherwise considered waste. “When I moved to London in 1997 from Chile, I brought close to 17 tones of my own clay and then later 22 tones because it was part of my talk about the environment and reflected the colour of my continent,” he says. “But since 2005, I have been using European clay to honour the place where I now live and the colour and texture represents my journey as an artist.” Once the clay was ready, Casasempere spent another eight months moulding it into its current shape—closed at the top but hollow on the inside, as if challenging the viewer to dig deeper than the superficial. “Beauty is a complex word; but as an artist, I have the constant need to conceal a brutal presence in my pieces that ignite a dialogue between the material and my concerns with the environment.” While his previous work has been displayed at several public spaces in both Chile and Britain as well as museums around the world, this is the first time Casasempere’s sculpture will be displayed at the Salon Art + Design fair in New York. “In a big city, with big noise, if I can give viewers a few minutes of silence to think about their place in the world, then I think my work is done,” he says. “What more can an artist ask for?” Salon Art + Design runs from 14 to 18 November at the Park Avenue Armory, Manhattan.

Bringing the Natural World Home at Salon Art + Design 2019 By Angelica Frey

Angelica Frey On a recent Thursday night at the Park Avenue Armory, the lights of the imposing chandeliers were dimmed and orbs of different sizes were casting a purple glow on the floor and staircases. This dramatic atmosphere was the backdrop for the eighth edition of the Salon Art + Design fair, a showcase of high-end collectible design items, contemporary art, and investment pieces. https://www.artandobject.com/blog/bringing-natural-world-home-salon-art-design-2019


Angelica Frey The show featured bright and luminous displays of wealth brought to us by 56 galleries hailing from fourteen countries, in the form of furniture, objets, lighting fixtures, paintings, and statuettes. Many exhibitors were prone to flights of fancy and imagination. New York-based R & Company featured chandeliers and mirrors that loosely resembled corals, and their illumination was reminiscent of bioluminescence. Similarly, Paris-based Maison Rapin had a set of mirrors by Goossens Paris, whose frames were adorned by gilded crowns of leaves, wheat, and corals, a choice that, instead of looking faux-antique or kitsch, gave the mirrors an ethereal appearance.

Angelica Frey Wexler Gallery at Salon Art + Design 2019 Wexler Gallery, from New York, had more of a tropical aesthetic, presenting Heather Ujiie’s Endangered Species, a four-panel, screen-like artwork featuring tropical creatures such as lemurs, a snake, and a toucan interacting with their surrounding vegetation. Michael Hurwitz’s twelve-leaf resin table, whose symmetry is reminiscent of a mandala, complemented the artwork. Todd Merrill Studio presented a quirky yet opulent selection of furniture and decor elements that paid tribute to butterfly wings, feathers, petals, and fish scales: Jean-Luc Le Mounier’s “Plume” cabinet, a cabinet covered in “fantastically scaled” silhouettes of black feathers and his “Papillon” cabinet, where outsized butterfly wings overtake the cabinet doors. Similarly, Teemu Salonen’s “Chinese Restaurant” ceramic lights were flower-shaped lamps whose petals are reminiscent of the acanthus leaves found on Corinthian columns.

Peter Baker Todd Merrill Studio at Salon Art + Design 2019 On occasion, nature’s opulence was counteracted by geometric rigor—with a twist: WonderGlass, for example, presented a selection of colorful glass pieces, inspired by the tradition of Venetian craftsmanship, namely glass blowing or cast glass techniques.

Angelica Frey Opera Gallery at Salon Art + Design 2019 Opera Gallery featured one of the neon constructions of Anthony James, which are kaleidoscopic creations that use neon, mirrors, and geometry to create an illusion of infinity. Hostler Burrows https://www.artandobject.com/blog/bringing-natural-world-home-salon-art-design-2019


presented Crystal Atmosphere by contemporary Swedish artist and designer Frida Fjellman, a veritable ‘crystal forest’ made by a sequence of suspended hand-blown glass prisms laced to one another by a drooping chain. Designed, in Fjellman's words, to “impart a sense of calm as well as to intrigue and fascinate,” the experience is at once unabashedly romantic and quietly poetic.

Peter Baker Hostler Burrows at Salon Art + Design 2019 Contemporary art was less represented compared to the high-octane display of design and luxury. Yet, highlights included works by George Condo, such as Seated Female Figure, a woman in the nude wearing one thigh-high boot and opera gloves. Italian Surrealist Giorgio De Chirico was present with L’animal mysterieux: le cheval de Bellerofonte, an anthropomorphic horse whose head contains a tightly-packed akropolis. German Expressionist Max Ernst was featured with an animal-inspired artwork as well: Colombe Blanche depicts a white dove casting what is, at best, described as a negative shadow. And, overshadowed by the statues and statuettes in the booth of Phoenix Ancient Arts was also a small artwork by Andy Warhol, an exemplar of the series Four Hearts.

Angelica Frey Phoenix Ancient Arts at Salon Art + Design 2019 Some of the artifacts that were shown weren’t just, simply put, stunning: they also had history. Salon newcomer Moscow-based Heritage Gallery, which specializes in early-20th-century Russian and Soviet art displayed a hefty bureau whose legs were made with hunting rifles, and the actual counter is adorned with hammers and sickles. A table made of granite and marble was a great example of Soviet Empire style of the late 1930s -1950s, where architectural elements in decoration from semi-precious and ornamental stones.

Peter Baker Heritage Gallery at Salon Art + Design 2019 With a few exceptions, such as the Heritage Gallery, in all, it looked like exhibitors were, with their displays, paying a tribute to nature in all of its forms. Pop-culture geeks would think back to Annihilation, Lord of the Rings and any Baz-Luhrmann production. Such outward displays of luxury might be uncomfortable to some, but underneath the “price upon request” tag, there is a wealth of craftsmanship and artistic vision that can’t be denied.

Salon Art + Design 2019 announces exhibitors By Jose Villareal

The Salon presents the world's best collectible design - vintage, modern and contemporary - enhanced by blue-chip 20th century and contemporary art, featuring 56 of the world's leading art and design galleries (from 14 different countries).

NEW YORK, NY.- Salon Art + Design, produced by Sanford L. Smith + Associates, returns for its eighth edition at the Park Avenue Armory in New York City from November 14 - 18, 2019. Presenting the world’s best design – vintage, modern and contemporary – enhanced by blue-chip 20th century and contemporary art, the Salon will feature 56 leading art and design galleries (from 13 different countries), spotlighting the trends of collectible design. Salon has differentiated 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 exhibitors are encouraged to create immersive environments mirroring the way we live today. The success of 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 tastemakers. http://artdaily.com/index.asp?int_sec=11&int_new=116397#.XWszWVApB0s


Both young and seasoned collectors approach the design market, seeking the new, the uncommon, and the accessible. The material offered at Salon ranges from periods that have now become classic: Bauhaus, Art Deco and mid-century design coexisting happily with work by young and established contemporary makers. Salon is vetted and the only international fair of this caliber to combine styles, genres and periods cutting a universal and timeless swath. Salon Art + Design will bring together a diverse and international group of art and design dealers showcasing exceptional global material for every taste. In addition to 30 US exhibitors, this year will include a selection of European and international galleries hailing from Belgium (2), Brazil (1), France (9), Germany (1), Italy (4), Lebanon (1), the Netherlands (1), Russia (1), Spain (3), Sweden (1), Switzerland (1) and the United Kingdom (9).

NEED-TO-READ Paris Will Build an Outpost for the Grand Palais During Renovations – Rest easy, French art lovers! While the major museum is closed for a three-year renovation beginning in 2021, an outpost near the Eiffel Tower will serve as a temporary exhibition space. As the Grand Palais undergoes construction in the run-up to the Paris Olympics in 2024, the so-called Grand Palais Éphémère will host cultural and art events for the interim. The institution’s culture chief, Chris Dercon, says that the Grand Palais will also use its itinerancy as an opportunity to collaborate with other Paris-based organizations like the Musée du quai Branly-Jacques Chirac and UNESCO. (The Art Newspaper) A Fight Over a Diamond Puts Christie’s in the Crosshairs – A trial kicking off this week in New York pits an Italian family against Christie’s. Some members of the family have accused the auction house of selling the Princie diamond—a pink, 34.65-carat gem valued at $40 million— despite accusations that it had been stolen by their stepbrother. The diamond was purchased by Sheikh Jassim Bin Abdulaziz Al-Thani of Qatar, who is the husband of Sheikha al Mayassa bint Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani, the chairwoman of the Qatar Museums. Christie’s maintains it had the authority to sell the diamond, and describes the current battle as an “inheritance dispute among family members.” (New York Times) California Wildfires Destroy an Architectural Gem – The Getty Center may be safe—for now—from the ongoing California fires, but a new blaze, named the Easy fire, ripped through Ventura County yesterday, edging close to the Reagan Presidential Library before firefighters fought back the flames. A beloved midcentury Modern home designed by architect Craig Ellwood was not so lucky. Called the Zack House, the 1952 hillside home has been reduced to charred rubble, as seen in images captured by photojournalist Christian Monterrosa. Historian Alan Hess called it a “real loss to the architectural heritage of Los Angeles.” (LA Curbed, NYT) LACMA Teams Up With the Yuz and Qatar – Speaking of Qatar, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art is continuing plans for ambitious international collaborations with its announcement that it will jointly develop and share exhibitions and programs with the Yuz Museum Shanghai and Qatar Museums. The inaugural shared exhibition, “In Production: Art and the Studio System,” will explore how the production of studio art and film have evolved over the past 20 years. The museums will also share upcoming shows of work by Zhang Daqian and Yoshitomo Nara. (Artforum) Meet the Longest-Serving Man in the Art Fair Business Over the past 40 years, 80-year-old Sanford Smith has produced a whopping 130 art fairs. And in that time, he’s amassed quite the collection of antiques, design objects, Modernist painting, and furniture, including Thornton Dial works he picked up for about $100 a pop when he launched the Outsider Art Fair in 1992. His next fair, Salon Art + Design, returns to New York’s Park Avenue Armory next month for its eighth edition. (New York Times) The Problem With Fractional Art Ownership – Heads turned when, in 2018, the start-up Maecenas sold 31.5 percent of an Andy Warhol work via cryptocurrency for $1.7 million. However, fractional ownership has yet to really take off in the art market—and for good reason. “The high prices are for a tiny fraction of works, and to imagine that all art is a good investment is simply wrong,” Georgina Adam writes. “The lack of homogeneity between different artworks is another obstacle and a Warhol can be worth ten, or 100, depending on a number of factors: art is not a fungible asset like gold or stocks.” (TAN) https://news.artnet.com/art-world/art-industry-news-october-31-2019-stories-1693984


Independent Teams Up With Object and Thing – OBJECT & THING, New York’s affordable art and design fair that debuted earlier this year, will be back for a second edition in May, but first, it will have a booth of its own at the Independent in March. Founder Abby Bangser and artistic director Rafael de Cárdenas will curate a presentation featuring work from galleries including R & Company, Salon 94 Design, and Friedman Benda—the first time design galleries have had a presence at the Independent. “There is a natural synergy between OBJECT & THING and Independent,” said Bangster, citing the fairs’ “supportive commercial environment for galleries.” (Press release) COMINGS & GOINGS Cooper Hewitt Names Board Chair – The Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum in New York has appointed Jon Iwata as chair of its board of trustees, taking over for Elizabeth Ainslie. Iwata is a veteran of IBM, where, before his retirement last year, he served as chief brand officer, leading the company’s global communications arm. He’s served on Cooper Hewitt’s board since 2014. (Artforum) GES-2 Complex Gets an Opening Date – The Russian billionaire Leonid Mikhelson’s Renzo Piano-designed contemporary art center in Moscow, GES-2, is opening in September 2020. The vast complex is a redesign of a turn-of-the-century power plant that includes exhibition halls, a theater, a concert hall, and a workshop space. (TAN) Abstract Painter Matthew Abbot Dead at Age 54 – The English painter, whose compositions incorporate labyrinthine images with numeric titles that are both confounding and poetic, died earlier this month. Although he was born in London, Abbott was based in New York and was represented by the Lower East Side’s LMAKgallery, where his most recent show was held in 2016. (ARTnews) FOR ART’S SAKE Rothko Chapel Reopening Delayed – When renovations began on Houston’s Rothko Chapel in February, the space was expected to reopen at the end of this year. But engineers found that there isn’t any steel reinforcement in the structure’s concrete masonry walls, a precaution against hurricane-force winds that is now required due to changes in local building codes since the chapel was first built. Rectifying the situation will cost an extra $1.1 million and take an extra four months, pushing the reopening back to late spring 2020. (TAN) Researchers Examine the Science Behind Pollock’s Abstract Style – Scientists at Brown University’s School of Engineering analyzed the action painting of Jackson Pollock by watching videos of him at work and recreating the effect using a syringe to distribute the paint onto a canvas laid flat from various heights and angles. From their research, published in the journal PLOS ONE, the scientists noted that although Pollock’s style is often called a “drip” technique, that’s actually a misnomer, since his paint application was more continuous and less splattered than the word implies. His paintings lack what is called coiling instability, which is evident when a fluid is poured. (CNN) That Salvator Mundi Coming to Italy Is a Copy by an Artist – Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev, director of the Castello di Rivoli Museo d’Arte Contemporanea in Turin, Italy, has been hinting that the museum was poised to show Leonardo da Vinci’s Salvator Mundi, unseen since its recordbreaking $450 million auction in 2017.

This Year’s Highly International Salon Art + Design Fair Will Have ‘Something for Everyone’ Brazilian mid-century design, California Minimalism, and Russian design make prominent appearances. By Katie White

Fifty-six leading art and design galleries from 14 different countries will be featured in the 2019 edition of the fair. Courtesy of Salon Art + Design. “Too much of a good thing can be wonderful,” the starlet Mae West once mused. If that decadent sentiment hits home, then the eighth edition of the always spirited Salon Art + Design should be high on your cultural calendar. The annual showcase of art, architecture, and design, which opens at the Park Avenue Armory next weekend, has plans to be a more lavish affair than usual.

https://news.artnet.com/partner-content/international-salon-art-design-fair-2019


“There is impossibly great material coming this year,” Jill Bokor, the fair’s executive director, said. “I hope this is always true.” And while high design has always been at the heart of the New York fair, the most noticeable trend for 2019 is a focus on somewhat peripheral collecting tastes, including Russian art and design, Brazilian mid-century design, and California Minimalism. The shift comes with an influx of new galleries to the fair. São Paulo’s Legado Art, the fair’s first Brazilian exhibitor, will be showcasing historic and contemporary work including a whimsical “cipo” bookcase by Rodrigo Almeda. Meanwhile, gallery Gabriel + Guillaume (the first participant without a permanent physical space) will be adding top-tier 20th-century and contemporary Lebanese design works to the mix, including a much sought-after “Gravitation Chandelier” by Maria Group. The fair is also welcoming its first Russian gallery, Heritage International Art, as well as the US-based ABA gallery, which specializes in Eastern European art, with works by Malevich and Gorky on view.

As for the artworks no visitor should miss, Bokor has a few favorites, including a never-beforeexhibited 1956 Christmas card designed by John Cage at Moderne Gallery’s booth. “We’re also very excited about the Campana Brothers’s Settimio Cabinet, from their Brazilian Baroque series that captures all that’s best about contemporary design; the simple form made textural and elegant through the use of linear bamboo and rococo brass,” Bokor said.

Of course, installations in the historic rooms of the Park Avenue Armory are one of perennial delights of the venue. For Salon Art + Design, the French crystal master Lalique is returning for the second year, this time in collaboration with Fromental, the British makers of fabulously floral wall coverings, for what is sure to be a florid affair. Other special installations will include the debut of a new line of design by the contemporary artisans at Appartus, and a site-specific work by versatile French designer Mathieu Lehanneur. Asked about the dizzying array of styles and visions on view this year, Boker said, “I’m pretty sure there’s something for everyone.” Salon Art + Design takes place at the Park Avenue Armory from Friday, November 15, through Monday, November 18, 2019. VIP Preview, Wednesday, November 14, 4 p.m.–9 p.m.

OCTOBER 28, 2019

Salon Art + Design: November 14 – 18, 2019 The “Salon Art + Design” Fair will take place at the Park Avenue Armory in New York City from November 14 – 18, 2019. This show, produced by Sanford L. Smith + Associates, presents the world’s best design – vintage, modern and contemporary – as well as blue-chip 20th century and contemporary art. This 8th edition of the Salon will feature 56 leading art and design galleries from around the world. Executive Director Jill Bokor tells us: “We’re excited for the addition of historic Russian design and fine art and the inclusion of Brazilian material shown in Brazilian and Spanish galleries. On the contemporary side, we’re looking forward to seeing new works by two major interior design talents – Alexandra Champalimaud and Pierre Yovanovitch. Salon Art + Design is also thrilled to showcase a number of site specific installations by New York Studio Apparatus, French design visionary, Mathieu Lehanneur, and super yacht designer, Frank Pollaro. All in, the fair is comprehensive in scope with material for people putting their toes in the waters of collectible design as well as seasoned collectors.”

A new art fair will spotlight work by recent art school graduates. By Wallace Ludel

Pier 36. Photo courtesy Art Market Productions. A freshman is joining the New York City art fair class of 2019. The MFA Fair, a new venture under the umbrella of fair production outfit Art Market Productions and built on partnerships between leading university art programs and an advisory committee of industry experts, will showcase exclusively work by recent MFA graduates, offering students a springboard into the art market. Schools set to participate in the fair’s inaugural edition, which will take place November 14th to 17th on Pier 36 on Manhattan’s Lower East Side, include Columbia University School of the Arts, Cranbrook Academy of Art, Maryland Institute College of Art, New York Academy of Art, and more. https://www.artsy.net/news/artsy-editorial-new-art-fair-will-spotlight-work-art-schoolgraduates


In a statement sent to Artsy, the fair’s co-founder and director, James Salomon, said: I see this as a fresh way to connect artists and universities across the country, to start new conversations around art, and to revolutionize models of support for emerging artists and those working and living outside the established centers of the art world. From the onset, there's been a high level of enthusiasm from all corners. We're thrilled to help create new relationships between students, the departments, and collectors. Expanding MFA programs and multiplying art fairs have been two of the major driving forces in the changing landscape of the art world in recent decades, so a fair of this sort seems to be a natural progression. While galleries and studious collectors have long surveilled graduating classes at top MFA programs, The MFA Fair aims to formalize the process of ushering recent grads into the market. Its inaugural edition will take place outside of New York City’s two major fair weeks in the spring, but will coincide with the annual The Salon Art + Design.

Worldwise: Salon Art + Design Executive Director Jill Bokor’s Favorite Things By Abby Schulz

Jill Bokor, executive director, Salon Art + Design Brandon C Tobin/BFA.com For Jill Bokor, long an editorial director of art, design, and architecture magazines, stepping into the role of executive director of Salon Art + Design in 2011 was only logical. “The thrill was to take what had been done on paper—stories—and to figure out how to use exactly those same skills to create vignettes at a booth at a fair,” Bokor says.

https://www.barrons.com/articles/worldwise-salon-art-design-executive-director-jill-bokorsfavorite-things-01572471577


Now in its eighth year at the Park Avenue Armory in Manhattan, Salon Art + Design features 56 art and design galleries from across the world presenting vintage, modern, and contemporary design as well as 20th century and contemporary art. Some of the most exciting experiences will greet visitors in the Armory’s historic front hall rooms before they enter the show floor next month, including French architect and designer Mathieu Lehanneur’s Colonel Rooms, never-before-seen works that mark the launch of his American program, and U.S. designer Frank Pollaro’s custom furniture, hand-made from rare woods. “Even before you walk onto the floor of the show, the exhibitions that we have for people to look at are just stellar and really, really exciting,” Bokor says. When Bokor, 65, took the reins of the initial fair, collectible design “was really starting to take off,” she says. Running the show gave her the opportunity to use connections she had made over the years as editorial director of Art & Auction and I.D. magazine, among other publications, but it also reflected a reality of the publishing world, and that is galleries were finding it made more economic sense to spend marketing dollars at an art fair rather than on a glossy magazine ad. For Bokor, the transition felt like moving from “1-D and suddenly living in the middle of 3-D,” she says. “Now I get to touch the stuff, not just the paper it’s printed on—that is an amazing opportunity for me.” Penta spoke with Bokor as she was in the midst of planning the fair, which will be Nov. 14-18 at the Armory. My favorite neighborhood in the world is… the San Polo sestieri [subdivision] of Venice. It’s the area that starts right behind the Rialto Bridge. The first thing you see are the markets at the Rialto, but what I love is as you sort of wander through, it becomes much more about residential Venice—the street life, the square life, of Venice. Sitting there with an espresso and a book, is probably close to my favorite thing in the world. With Venice, you can never separate what’s touristy from what’s real because the city is about that. But I do think there’s something about seeing people who live there shopping in the little squares, and then going home and making their lunch and the kids come out to play after that. The one thing in my closet I can’t live without is… the first Loro Piana cashmere shawl I ever got, which is now 25 years old. Of course, it’s black. I lose things all the time, so the mere fact that I’ve had it for 25 years is nothing short of extraordinary. And it’s Loro Piana, so it’s held up just incredibly well. And it goes everywhere because that’s the thing you take on a plane if you’re going to be freezing and, so it’s as well-traveled as I am. If I were to buy a piece of art, it would be by… we’re talking about something entirely inaccessible, and the top of my wishlist would absolutely be a painting by Edward Hopper. What he captured was a kind of isolation, of course, and the solo experience of mankind, whether it was in a diner or Chinese restaurant. These are social lives that we live. I’m always out and about and seeing things, and that’s wonderful, but at the base of everything, there is an aloneness that we all have to face. To me, nobody ever captured that more brilliantly than he.

https://www.barrons.com/articles/worldwise-salon-art-design-executive-director-jill-bokorsfavorite-things-01572471577


The best book I’ve read in the last year is… Jill Lepore’s These Truths: A History of the United States. That book would have been timely no matter what. But given that it came out in late 2018, it made [me] think about some of our freedoms—how we got them and how they may be being usurped. A passion of mine that few people know about is… Scrabble. I’m never not playing Scrabble. Since I was 6. My actual academic work was in linguistics, so words, to me, are everything. The challenge of it is amazing. I love the words. I like winning, I don’t much like losing. People may think I’m texting something erudite, but most of the time I’m playing Scrabble. The one trip I’ve taken that I would love to do again… Earlier this year, over the spring Equinox, I went with my son to Kiruna, Sweden, the home of the Icehotel. The Icehotel is a couple hundred miles into the Arctic circle and it is extraordinary. All but one structure lasts only for a year, and it is done mostly by artists. Everything there is ice, the chandeliers are ice, the bedrooms are absolutely ice. You sleep on reindeer skins in basically a military jumpsuit. It’s a bit touristy, but you still get to see the world in a very different way. Every morning they post the probability of seeing the Northern Lights. And by the Equinox, [the probability is] very low. However, on our last night there, we walked out to green flashes across the sky and the Northern Lights were on full display. Even as I tell you this, it gives me goosebumps because that literally could be a once in a lifetime thing. The thing that gets me up in the morning is… I’m about to renovate our old townhouse, a 1901 limestone. We lived in it for about 20 years. This will be one of the great challenges of my life. It’s a gut renovation, and a certain amount of restoration. I want to keep the architecture. This is a careful-what-you-wish for project. It’s 8,900 square feet, and it has a huge garden. If I could have a drink with anybody, anywhere, it would be… Aaron Sorkin, at a place of his choosing, here in New York. To me, words are everything. His use of words has affected many people, many ways. I love that he has that originality and he took on To Kill a Mockingbird. I would love to have that conversation with him and it would be about words.

Across the board, there’s a great degree of regional diversity in the fair’s expected offerings, with exhibitors hailing from France, Lebanon, Morocco, the Netherlands, Sweden, and many more farflung nations. Brazilian design, which is currently experiencing a prolonged period of popularity, will be better represented than in years prior. And for the first time ever, the fair will include a Barcelona gallery. Both of these points, noted by Bokor, are indicative of the fair’s “ever-widening geography,” as she puts it.

Wells Fargo forecloses on DCOTA, Sotheby’s goes private, and more By Robyn Smith It’s Tuesday, the best day of the week—at least, for the BOH news desk. In our weekly digest, find a roundup of need-to-know (and nice-to-know) stories. BUSINESS NEWS A tenant exodus and dropoff in foot traffic has led to the foreclosure of the Design Center of the Americasbuilding in Dania Beach, Florida, reported Fabrics & Furnishings International. Wells Fargo launched foreclosure proceedings for $173 million against DCOTA owner Cohen Bros. Realty. The bank filed the foreclosure lawsuit on June 4; earlier this week, it was reported that a new appraisal cut the value of the property by more than half—from $250.35 million to $115 million, according to The Real Deal. DCOTA has struggled with debt since 2012.

Save the date for the Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles Designer Showhouse, which opens in September. A full list of participating designers will be released in July. RECOMMENDED READING “Are you a code sensei? A customer-service rock star?” asks Amanda Mull of The Atlantic, kicking off her investigation into how and why job listings in the U.S. have become definitively inscrutable. “A generation ago, American job seekers might have opened a newspaper to find want ads with perfunctory explanations of desired skills,” Mull writes. But now, “Hiring managers are looking for extremists: You can’t just be willing to do the job. You must evince an all-consuming horniness for menial corporate tasks. In an American labor market where wages are stagnant and many workers feel their jobs seeping into their personal time, such demands only create even more anxiety and dread for Americans looking for a new gig.” Designer and philanthropist Gloria Vanderbilt passed away yesterday at the age of 95. Of the legendary creative, House Beautiful wrote: “It’s long been rumored that Truman Capote’s iconic character Holly Golightly, from Breakfast at Tiffany’s, was modeled after Gloria,” a woman who authored eight books, appeared in several TV shows and organized many art shows. “She also had a particular eye for interior design, appointing her homes with carefully sourced antiques and exquisitely crafted decor. But despite her belonging to a certain upper-crust circle that might sometimes skew, well, crusty, her personal style always involved a touch of the fantastical: magenta-painted window frames, for example, or quilt-covered walls.”

Salon Art + Design tem presença brasileira em mix de design colecionável O designer de interiores Gabriel Valdivieso faz uma análise da feira em Nova York, que reuniu um time de 56 galerias de arte de vários países com estilos e gêneros diversos By Gabriel Valdivieso

É outono em Nova York. Manhattan e suas árvores vibram em tons de cobre e amarelo, e o frio causa um burburinho que agita o fim do ano. É nessa época que acontece a oitava edição do Salon Art + Design, feira de arte e mobiliário que ocupou o antigo e portentoso edifício do Arsenal do Sétimo Regimento, conhecido como Park Avenue Armory. Produzida por Sanford Smith + Associates, com curadoria de nomes de peso o editor Alexandre Assouline, o arquiteto Pierre Yovanovitch e o designer de interiores Carlos Mota, o evento reuniu em novembro o melhor do design vintage, moderno e contemporâneo - um leque do melhor que é colecionável neste universo. https://revistacasaejardim.globo.com/Casa-e-Jardim/Design/noticia/2019/11/salon-art-design-tempresenca-brasileira-em-mix-de-design-colecionavel.html


A feira que se destaca no mercado internacional por um mix único de estilos, períodos e gêneros tem um time de 56 galerias, sendo 30 delas norte-americanas e outras 26 de países como Bélgica, França, Itália, Holanda e Brasil. Esta edição, segundo seus organizadores, tem versão mais diversa e global. O evento, que vem desenvolvendo cuidadoso crivo com foco no material utilizado nas peças apresentadas, inova em se tornar uma vitrine de inclusão pontuada por arte de diversas partes do mundo.

A produção brasileira teve como representante a galeria paulistana Legado Arte, que levou para a Big Apple peças dos designers Rodrigo Almeida e Juliana Vasconcellos. Destaque ainda para a presença de criações de Fernando e Humberto Campana, Sergio Rodrigues e Jorge Zalszupin, entre outros.

https://revistacasaejardim.globo.com/Casa-e-Jardim/Design/noticia/2019/11/salon-art-design-tempresenca-brasileira-em-mix-de-design-colecionavel.html


As galerias expõem ícones do desenho mundial, exemplares impecáveis do universo vintage, como a cadeira de ferro e couro vermelho do designer Carlo Molino, da italiana Casati Gallery; e também apresentam as últimas novidades de seus criativos designers - a nova-iorquina The Future Perfect, por exemplo, que mostrou uma explosão de cor e textura sobre cerâmica em forma de cadeira, do prodígio venezuelano Reinaldo Sanguino. “Fala-se muito do limite entre arte e design comercial esteticamente. Uma das razões do sucesso do Salon é que não fazemos esta distinção”, disse a relações públicas do evento, Jill Bokor.

Para o hall de entrada do Park Avenue Armory, ricamente decorado com molduras de madeira e grandes lustres antigos, ficaram reservadas cinco instalações assinadas por figuras e fabricantes proeminentes do mercado de design. A Lalique, em parceria com os papéis de parede Fromental, apresentou a coleção Hirondelle: delicadas andorinhas de cristal francês interagem com a superfície com estampa de chinoiserie, onde podem ser fixadas e movidas por um sistema de imãs. Já o designer francês Mathieu Lehanneur, conhecido por sua estética ousada, porém clássica (são deles peças em mármore esculpidas de maneira a se assemelhar ao oceano) apresenta instalação que aborda de maneira sensível seus mais recentes desenhos.

https://revistacasaejardim.globo.com/Casa-e-Jardim/Design/noticia/2019/11/salon-art-design-tempresenca-brasileira-em-mix-de-design-colecionavel.html


Há certa magia nesta feira. A reunião destes agentes - galeristas, designers, colecionadores e apaixonados - cria, por quatro dias apenas, uma ilha da fantasia nova-iorquina, oásis do desenho no Upper East Side, um espaço de discussão, contemplação e, claro, negócios. O esmero na montagem e cenografia dos estandes e espaços cria uma atmosfera etérea e colorida, rica e repleta de pensamento e história. Os sorrisos estão estampados nos rostos dos passantes, a conversa corre solta e o assunto é paixão de todos: o mais belo casamento - arte e design!

In a world of fast food and one-size-fits-all sensibilities, how often does something feel made especially for you? The “Made for You” section celebrates those items that are created with such high quality of hand workmanship and degree of customization that they become individual to you. In each issue, our editors will endeavor to bring you special things from anywhere on the globe, choosing them solely on the basis of outstanding quality. Our goal is to give you guidance on the best of everything. 4 DASH MEETS CRAFT—GALLERY SOLLANDS

1 A HIT WITH YOUR MITT—FC GOODS Men finding it difficult to part ways with their old childhood baseball glove now have an option that allows their memories to live on. FC Goods has teamed up with Korchmar, a 102-year-old leather goods crafter, to offer a program that repurposes ball gloves from yesteryear into custom, one-of-a-kind leather products. Send them your treasured glove and in about three weeks the leather artisans will have transformed it into a highly personalized card case, billfold or money clip. Prices start at $75 and include shipping. fcgoods.com

So often the trade-off with contemporary furniture is that it doesn’t come with Old World craftsmanship and durability. Not so with London’s Gallery Sollands. The colorful and innovative Gra Collection, from Grazyna Solland, is on display in Mayfair, but built at Solland’s atelier in the Norfolk countryside by traditional British craftsmen. The unabashedly contemporary works were chosen to furnish this year’s New York’s Salon Art + Design fair (Nov. 14-18). sollands.co.uk and thesalonny.com

2 RIGHT HEAT FOR THE MEAT—MEATER BLOCK You’re cooking holiday prime rib, but your crowd likes it rare, medium and well-done? Check out the Meater Block, a wireless cooking thermometer that charges four separate probes for separate degrees of doneness—or even different meats. Working on Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, the probes are truly wireless (no ungainly cable connecting to the unit outside the oven). The device ($269, from Apption Labs) reads temperatures on smart phone, smart watch or the bright OLED display on the Block itself. The probes also measure ambient heat of the oven along with the internal heat of the meat. meater.com

What do performance cars and topflight cookware have in common? A need for speed. Stovetop pots and pans should heat up and cool down quickly at the whim of the chef. ProBond cookware from Italy’s Hestan, uses a coldforging process and triple-ply construction that puts steel where it needs to be to guarantee even heating and optimize responsiveness. Walls are thinner, and bases and rims are thicker. Sandwiched between stainless-steel layers is an aluminum core.

3 CHARMING CARD HOLDER—ETTINGER Ettinger has been making leather goods in the United Kingdom for 85 years, and it prides itself on quality and patience: it takes more than five years to train a new craftsperson. The company’s Sterling Flat credit card case (£115, or $160) is a simple example of the company’s style. Made with a combination of red and black calf leathers, the piece sports four card pockets, plus a holder for receipts or a few bills, just right for a night out without the bulk of a large wallet. ettinger.co.uk 168

6 PRESSURE ON TAP—GROWLERWERKS The ability to fill large-format containers (growlers) from the tap at many breweries is one of the best advancements of the craft beer culture. The downside is it forces you to drink up fast or lose the fizz. The Pressurized Growler Keg from GrowlerWerks takes off the pressure to drink up fast by keeping the pressure in the beer. A CO2 system keeps your beer fresh for up to two weeks, and you can even regulate carbonation to your liking. The doubleinsulated 64-ounce growler ($149) can also be refrigerated. thegrommet.com

SALON ART + DESIGN 2019 TO BENEFIT DIA ART FOUNDATION Salon Art + Design 2019 is an incredible ​design event ​that returned this year for its 8th edition, focusing on ​contemporary art ​and showcasing some of the most amazing galleries in the world. Salon Art + Design has distinguished itself from other art exhibitions and fairs by including a highly curated mixture of historic and ​contemporary collectable design and fine art​. ​CovetED Magazine brings you the event that occurred on the very first day of the fair to benefit Dia Art Foundation.

projects, organizing exhibitions, realizing site-specific installations, and collecting in-depth the work of a focused group of artists of the 1960s and 1970s.

Dia was founded in ​New York City in 1974 by Philippa de Menil, Heiner Friedrich, and Helen Winkler to help artists achieve visionary projects that might not otherwise be realized because of scale or scope. To suggest the institution’s role in enabling such ambitions, they selected the name “Dia,” taken from the Greek word meaning “through.” Today, Dia is a constellation of sites, from the iconic permanent, site-specific artworks and installations in New York, the American West and Germany; to an exhibition program that has commissioned dozens of breakthrough projects; to the vast galleries of ​Dia:Beacon​; and finally the programs of education and public engagement.

Dia presents temporary exhibitions, performances, lectures, and readings on West 22nd Street in New York City.

Dia’s ongoing series of Artist on Artist lectures and Readings in Contemporary Poetry are held at 535 West 22nd Street in New York City. Exhibitions are presented in the adjacent buildings at 541 and 545 West 22nd Street.

From 1987 through 2004, Dia presented ambitious long-term art installations at Dia Center for the Arts at 548 West 22nd Street. Highlights included projects by Robert Gober, Jenny Holzer, Pierre Huyghe, Robert Irwin, On Kawara, Jorge Pardo, Robert Ryman, Fred Sandback, Jessica Stockholder, Diana Thater, Lawrence Weiner, and Robert Whitman.

Top 5 Galleries You Must See at Salon Art + Design 2019 Salon Art + Design 2019 is almost here! Taking place from November 14-18, this incredible design event returns for its 8th edition and focuses on contemporary art, showcasing some of the most amazing galleries in the world. Salon Art + Design has differentiated itself from other art exhibitions and fairs by including a highly curated mixture of historic and contemporary collectable design and fine art.

Calling on Designer Brecht Wright Gander in Chinatown By Callan Malone

Just south of Canal on Lafayette Street, I push through the double glass doors at Todd Merrill’s Studio. On the far wall of the room is a baby blue mural with shapes in the form of loose doublehelices lining each side. Designer Brecht Wright Gander sits in front of the monumentally-sized work, combing his fingers through his hair and talking with Merrill. After just returning from showing at the Seattle Art Fair, he is gearing up for PAD London and Salon Art + Design at the Park Avenue Armory. The mural, in addition to the three sculptural lamp pieces standing in front of it, were all made by Wright Gander in a whirlwind year of new work, recently-established representation and art fair appearances.

https://www.culturedmag.com/brecht-wright-gander/


The lamps come from various collections he’s completed over the course of the year. One, holding major presence as its heat-warped copper- leaf center reflects an inlaid LED, is a deep black. The two adjacent are pink and blue and white. They feel playful, almost extraterrestrial. All three were crafted by the 32-year-old designer using a layered combination of steel armature, plaster, resins and epoxies. I ask Wright Gander how his practice has been influenced by his studies in foundational philosophy as opposed to attending art school. He explains the immense value he finds in embracing what is “felt and held.” There’s a two-fold experience that these pieces employ: the recognition of human touch that one can see in Wright Gander’s craftsmanship, as well as the physical relationship one must have in order to realize the lamp’s functionality. It is, after all, a light which requires a switch. “When people put a painting on their wall, they’re conscious of the fact that they’re putting a thing in their room that they’re going to gaze at and that’s going to create a particular presence,” he says. “But they don’t expect that in their light switch or in their lamp. It’s almost more jarring and more affecting to sit in a chair and then be made really consciously aware of it, or to turn on a light, and for that experience to be acute and sensitized in a particular way, than it is to put a piece of art in your space that you know is there for your reflection.” There’s an eloquence in Wright Gander’s responses that invokes a deep sense of trust in his practice. His foundation is functionality, his form a perfect combination of aesthetic play and technical acumen.

Salon Art + Design Returns to New York with a More Eclectic Gaze By Annie Kurnick

Jill Bokor. Photo by BFA. Salon Art + Design, produced by Sanford L. Smith + Associates, returns for its eighth edition at the Park Avenue Armory in New York City from November 14-18, 2019. Enhanced by blue-chip 20th century and contemporary art, the Salon presents the world’s best design in vintage, modern, and contemporary art. While Salon continues to differentiate itself from other fairs by including a highly curated mix of historic and contemporary collectible design and fine art, their 2019 event will feature 56 leading art and design galleries from 13 different countries while spotlighting the trends of collectible design.

https://www.culturedmag.com/salon-art-design-2019/


Jill Bokor, executive director of Salon, continues the display of Salon’s excellence, expanding the range of material presented with each passing year. With the upcoming show including exhibitors from Russia, Lebanon, and South America, Bokor states, “this inherently ensures that there will be designs, objects and makers that have not been presented at Salon before.” While the top-tier fair provides a balance where quality meets diversity, Bokor explains “the success of Salon lies in the brilliance of its exhibiting galleries, the extremely international flavor of the material and an eclecticism that is highly sought by today’s collectors and tastemakers.” Here, we get an inside look with Bokor on what the fair has in store this year.

Cycladic Marble Kandila. Greek, Early Cycladic I, circa 3000-2800 BC. Courtesy of Ariadne Galleries. This is the eighth year that Salon Art + Design will be returning to the Armory. What can we expect from the fair? With each passing year, the range of the material presented broadens and deepens. The geographic origins of the participants extend to include exhibitors from Russia, Lebanon and South America. Inherently this ensures that there will be designs, objects and makers that have not been presented at Salon before. While our timeline remains the same—from ancient cultures to the present, with a several thousand millennia gap from BC to 1900—the material shown delves deep into the 20th and 21st centuries.

https://www.culturedmag.com/salon-art-design-2019/


What differentiates Salon Art + Design from other contemporary design and art fairs? There is a lot of talk these days about what constitutes an art fair—as opposed to a design fair. Happily, these distinctions are continually blurring and many of our exhibitors are intent on erasing those boundaries altogether. At the end of the day, that’s what distinguishes Salon from other fairs. When you see a vessel made by a 3-D printer, who’s to say what the taxonomy is? It’s utterly original, which is certainly amongst the criteria for desirability. Further to that is the overarching question of what constitutes collectible design at this particular moment. Salon tries to address these questions.

Vladimir Bogatyrev and Galina Stolbova’s Youth Festival of Peoples’ Friendship lamp. Courtesy Heritage Gallery. The international roster of exhibitors grew from last year’s showcase. Does Salon Art + Design have plans on expanding? At the moment, we don’t have plans to replicate the fair anywhere else. I’m not a fan of franchises—they create events that are no longer unique. And with the disarray in London and the demonstrations in Paris and Hong Kong, the geopolitical world is going through a profound change. Increasingly, that affects the art market—how and where will material be offered? That being said, we have been asked to consider events from Russia to Los Angeles and it would be fun to create some boutique experiences outside of New York. What criteria does Salon Art + Design look for in their exhibitors? Like every top fair, quality will always be the first criteria, quickly followed by diversity of offerings. Balance is important, so, for example, while we have a number of exhibitors presenting Italian design, we plan carefully to see that there aren’t five booths of all Gio Ponti. Similarly, with contemporary design, we prefer to work with galleries who represent the designer or artist, rather than showing the work as secondary market material. https://www.culturedmag.com/salon-art-design-2019/


Eric Grate’s Fireplace screen. Courtesy Bernard Goldberg Fine Arts. Salon Art + Design encourages its exhibitors to create immersive environments. What have been your favorite activations to date? Bernard Goldberg’s all Frank Lloyd Wright installation last year was a great achievement and Todd Merrill’s joyful, maximalist installation was fantastic! I loved the Collectors Lounge by Charles Burnand. It was smokily dark with touches of bronze and gold, mixing vintage material along with new design, creating a most intriguing environment. This year, they will exhibit in the fair itself and I’m excited to see how they trump last year! https://www.culturedmag.com/salon-art-design-2019/


Can you tell us your day-to-day in preparation for next month’s fair? If we’ve done our jobs right, the last month of the fair all comes down to detail. Most im portantly that means getting the message out, so PR is probably where the most time gets spent. It’s also finalizing the details for all of our programming—the partner installations, the talks, the tours and specific booth activations. Of course, you spend the most time thinking about what you don’t know—which is what have I missed—and hoping that it all comes together seamlessly.

Faye Toogood’s Spade Chair. Courtesy of Friedman Benda. What is inspiring you right now? Jeff Zimmerman and David Wiseman for lighting design, Joseph Walsh, Faye Toogood and Marcin Rusak for furniture, and Junko Mori for ceramics. I’m also crazy for the crystal sculptures of Joanna Manousis. Hoping to see works by all these artists at this year’s Salon! Who are your design icons? American Arts and Crafts furniture was my first love, so Frank Lloyd Wright and Gustave Stickley probably top the list, followed by English Arts and Crafts icons Charles Rennie Mackintosh and Christopher Dresser. And even though I would describe myself as a minimalist, the excesses of Carlo Bugatti furniture delight me. How old do you have to be to be iconic? And can you be alive? If the answer to these questions is yes, I would add Johnny Swing to the list.

Jacolby Satterwhite has been an artist-in-residence at Philadelphia’s Fabric Workshop and Museum for two years. This fall, his work culminates in his first solo museum show, “Room For Living,” for which the visual and conceptual artist has transformed his 3-D renderings into physical form. VR experiences and multimedia installations make up the expansive show that also includes earlier works. FABRICWORKSHOPANDMUSEUM.ORG

Born in the People’s Republic of China and finding inspiration in his own heritage, in addition to the works of Paul Cézanne and Gerhard Richter, Wang Yan Cheng finds a balance between the Abstract Expressionism of the 20th century and traditional Chinese painting.

Friday Five with Jill Bokor of Salon: Art + Design By Kelly Beal

For over thirty years, Jill Bokor has combined her love of art, design, and philanthropy with her entrepreneurial skills. Her publishing experience began at NEW YORK Magazine, where she served as publisher and editorial director of Art + Auction from 1984-1999. Once the company acquired I.D. Magazine, it was added to her portfolio as well. Jill was also Group Publisher of the Design Group at VNU (now Nielsen), responsible for such titles as Architecture and Interiors magazines, as well as publisher at Art + Antiques Magazine, and consulted on an art and design boutique for Louise Blouin Medi. From 2004-2015, Jill co-owned a gallery in Great Barrington, MA showcasing 20th century works on paper and contemporary regional art, along with fine contemporary jewelry. Currently, she serves as the Executive Director of Salon: Art + Design, New York’s most exciting and prestigious art and design event, a position that she’s held for the past 8 years. This year’s event will take place November 14-18. Salon gives Jill the opportunity to combine all the skills acquired in her curatorial, philanthropic, and business lives. Today she’s sharing five of the most influential things in her own life. https://design-milk.com/friday-five-with-jill-bokor-of-salon-art-design/the-salon-art-design2018-edition/


Photo: Rickey Rhodes for the New York Times 1. Shazam When I first started listening to music, in the late 60s/early 70s, FM radio was becoming a thing. It was great because unlike AM radio it was virtually commercial free, but the DJ’s played long strands of songs without revealing the name of the artist, band, or piece. It was a misery to be captivated by a song and be unable to identify it and maybe never find it again; I had fantasies of something that could identify all this amazing music at the drop of a hat. If I could have even imagined that an app like Shazam could identify almost any piece of music, I would have been in heaven! I wish I had invented it!

The Peggy Guggenheim collection in Venice by Claire Falkenstein 2. Venice When I was a child, my mother had a set of placemats with images of European cities. I always chose the one depicting Venice – it was the Salute and it captured my imagination unalterably. It took 30 years, but I finally got there on that momentous birthday. It was a dream then and it is a dream now, some 50 trips later. Most thrilling was – and still is – the magical ride from the airport in a vaporetto in the early morning. On each pylon along the way stood a sentinel pigeon, and as the mists lifted, a tower, a spire, a basilica would emerge from the mists. Immersing myself in the Venetian life from a perch in Campo San Polo or spending a warm September afternoon in the old ghetto square are annual pilgrimages, indelibly imprinted in my imagination and heart.

Courtesy of Galerie Chastel Marechal 3. Arches I grew up in Manhattan and have always lived in a linear world. In New York, the grid defines our sense of space and our skyscrapers frame our thoughts, so softened lines are appealing. My first sight of the graceful ruin of a Roman aqueduct, its arches framing the world in a way I was unused to – a gentler frame – created another way of seeing. It’s also true of the colonnades along the rue de Rivoli, each arch framing a perfect little shop or cafe. Or maybe it’s the cathedral arching of the branches of gnarly old trees reaching out to meet each other, forming a perfectly peaceful oasis on a country road. For me, the softening of the visual field provides the most graceful lens on the world. https://design-milk.com/friday-five-with-jill-bokor-of-salon-art-design/the-salon-art-design2018-edition/


Photo: Jill Bokor 4. Farmer’s Markets The austere old town in Maastricht on market day. Silvered skins of newly caught fish adjoin the buttery yellow cheeses of the region, contrasted by color pops of tomatoes, white asparagus, and purple artichokes. The riotous stalls behind the Rialto teem with split coconuts and fresh pineapple. In a quiet New England town on Saturday, the square is flooded with lush berries that stain your skin and sunflowers that fill your vision. At midsummer there are armies of blueberries marching across the table tops to meet the honeyed apricots, accented by the fragrance of the local coffee brewing nearby. In the fall, the first cider and the apples from which they’re pressed enliven the stalls. There’s nothing more wonderful than a farmers market! These were the original still lifes; an important reminder that some things really don’t change. https://design-milk.com/friday-five-with-jill-bokor-of-salon-art-design/the-salon-art-design2018-edition/

Or an elderly person sitting in the sun, lost in memory, dreamily contemplating an ice cream cone? We don’t have to be too specific about the pleasure of the texture of the soft serve (or frozen custard as it used to be called) or the flavor (although it was puzzling when our local Chinese restaurant started putting black cherries in what was supposed to be pistachio). From the richly creamy and barely flavored dessert that was served in Russia when it was the Soviet Union to the perfection of a granular Positano gelato or a plain old ice cream sundae in a diner. Call it comfort food, call it a guilty pleasure, it is an almost universal truth that ice cream is the best treat in the world!

anthony james builds LED portals inviting viewers into otherworldly geometrics by Kieron Marchese sculptor anthony james immerses viewers in an otherworldly universe of neon light. his portal icosahedrons – twenty-sided light installations – are made up of repeating equilateral triangles that layer over one another in reflection to create a mesmerizing matrix of glowing LEDs.

images via eric minh swenson vimeo unless stated otherwise with these geometric globes, anthony james references a mathematical experiment in unity used by plato to demonstrate an ideal compositional system of perfect symmetry in three dimensions. as shown in the film above, they combine glass, steel, and led structures, taking numerical calculation into an almost psychedelic realm.

https://www.designboom.com/art/anthony-james-portal-icosahedron-led-sculpture-11-212019/


‘anthony james’ work takes up the concepts of the universal and transcendental in order to demonstrate the impossibility of their representation,’ a description of the project reads. ‘the historical cosmology of plato is a primary inspiration, both for the sculptures of icosahedrons and for the silhouette of baroque architect francesco borromini’s dome for sant’ivo in rome.’

https://www.designboom.com/art/anthony-james-portal-icosahedron-led-sculpture-11-212019/


‘colorful rings of neon nod to the ancient concept of the universe as a set of concentric planetary orbits. the effect is both esoteric and industrial, orphic and distinctly concrete. modern art historical references abound as well – bruce nauman, ellsworth kelly, minimalism – but the artist’s attention is on the wonderment and possibility presented by distant ideals.’

another film titled ‘there-there’ by american photographer eric minh swenson captures the sculptures amongst other neon spectrum works. founded as a partnership between artist james and curator lauri firstenberg, there-there is the name given to their production company positioned as a platform to produce exhibitions, films and editions in order to promote ongoing collaborations with local and international artists.

more recently, anthony james’ ‘portal icosahedron’ has been presented by opera gallery at salon art + design 2019. see more highlights from salon on designboom here.

https://www.dezeen.com/2019/11/04/the-salon-art-design-fair-in-new-york/#disqus_thread


Work by Alexandra Champalimaud will be displayed at Salon Art + Design in New York "We hear so much about divisions between art and design these days, both aesthetically and commercially," said Jill Bokor, executive director of Salon. "One of the reasons for Salon's success is that we don't make these distinctions." "Salon has always encouraged inclusion and diversity in the cauldron of what collectors buy and the way people live," she said. "We're also trying to push the way people think about the boundaries of collectable design." Among mid-century designs are works by celebrated American architect Frank Lloyd Wright, which will be presented by Bernard Goldberg Fine Art, and creations by Japanese-American woodworker George Nakashima shown by Moderne.

Bernard Goldberg Fine Art is set to showcase mid-century designs by Frank Lloyd Wright Other exhibited furniture, lighting, glass, ceramic and fine art pieces will span Ancient Greece through to the 21st century. European modern art is also displayed. Contemporary displays will be provided by New York galleries Friedman Benda and The Future Perfect, and London's David Gill Gallery. Another British company, WonderGlass, has commissioned artists to create glass objects for this event. Products by French interior designer Pierre Yovanovitch will be shown in local art firm R & Company's booth, while London furniture store Charles Burnand will debut items by New York interior designer Alexandra Champalimaud. US lighting studio Apparatus will also showcase furniture and lighting from Interlude, which it launched during Milan design week earlier this year.

Apparatus designs Interlude furniture for "imagined, modernist concert hall" By Kristine Klein

An embroidered floor lamp and eel-skin clad cabinet are among the objects in a collection by US lighting studio Apparatus that took direction from musical scores.

https://www.dezeen.com/2019/11/29/apparatus-interlude-salon-modernist-concert-hall/


Embroidery influenced by musical motifs decorates lamps and a screen in Apparatus' Interlude Presented at this year's Salon Art + Design in New York, the elaborate collection Interlude was created to take on a host of musical references. "The collection is conceived as a suite of furnishings designed for an imagined, modernist concert hall," Apparatus said.

https://www.dezeen.com/2019/11/29/apparatus-interlude-salon-modernist-concert-hall/


The shapes used in the collection's series of marble tables took cues from symbols found in music scores Throughout the series of limited-edition works, the use of materials and shapes are reminiscent of melodic symbols and pay homage to music. Examples include a pair of cabinets influenced by the music and composition techniques of Theme and Variation. They are crafted with a unique mix of dark materials including eel skin, carpathian burl, suede and bronze.

https://www.dezeen.com/2019/11/29/apparatus-interlude-salon-modernist-concert-hall/


Cabinets in the Interlude collection play with the musical techniques of Theme and Variation "Musical references inform the collection, with motifs evoking synesthetic interpretations of notes on a score, and a pair of cabinets conceived in the compositional tradition of Theme and Variation," the studio added. Decorative embroidery, beading and threadwork was carefully integrated into the exterior of a brass mesh cage, which forms the light shade used on several of the light fixtures in Interlude. Musical shapes and symbols are sewn onto the pieces and employ a range of colours, textures and patterns. "The dimensional beading and threadwork evoke synesthetic interpretations of a musical score, organic forms recorded on a strict grid," Apparatus added.

https://www.dezeen.com/2019/11/29/apparatus-interlude-salon-modernist-concert-hall/


Interlude was exhibited at this year's Salon Art + Design in New York Another netted cylinder forms "a veil" over lamp with an alabaster core. "The rounded silhouette of the mesh cage forms a veil over the glowing stone, an airy metallic contrast to the warmly grounded material," the designers described. Similar techniques were used to create other pieces in the collection, including wall scones and a screen. Pieces of marble shaped like the embroidery motifs form the surface for a set of tables in the collection. Two small sections break away from the large central table to create the series conceived as one piece. https://www.dezeen.com/2019/11/29/apparatus-interlude-salon-modernist-concert-hall/


The collection features several lighting designs including this embroidered sconce, which was formed from a brass mesh material Apparatus first unveiled Interlude collection during this year's Milan design week. The studio then presented the series at this year's Salon Art + Design in New York, which took place earlier this month, including news designs like the floor lamp. Apparatus was among sixty studios and galleries that showcased a mix of contemporary and midcentury art, furniture and design works at the event.

https://www.dezeen.com/2019/11/29/apparatus-interlude-salon-modernist-concert-hall/


The lamp is decorated with embroidery evocative of musical motifs Apparatus was founded by Gabriel Hendifar and his partner Jeremy Anderson in 2012. The brand has showrooms in New York City, Milan and opened a third location in Los Angeles. Other collections by the design duo include a homeware and lighting series influenced by intricately decorated Persian boxes and kaleidoscopic patterned textiles that also pay homage to Hendifar's Persian roots.

Priveekollektie at the Salon Art + Design NYC By Robin Jane Mac Mootry

From November 14-18, The Salon Art + Design 2019 will be held at Park Avenue Armory in New York City. The Salon Art + Design features 56 leading art and design galleries from 14 different countries, highlighting the trends of collectible design. Salon exhibitors are characterized by an eclecticism that is highly sought by today’s collectors and tastemakers. Both young and seasoned collectors approach the design market, seeking the new, the uncommon, and the accessible. The material offered at Salon ranges from periods that have now become classic: Bauhaus, Art Deco and mid-century design coexisting happily with work by young and established contemporary makers. Dutch gallery Priveekollektie Contemporary Art | Design is amongst the exhibitors this year. There are six Dutch designers affiliated with Priveekollektie showcasing their work at The Salon. https://www.dutchcultureusa.com/event/priveekollektie-at-the-salon-art-design-nyc/


Priveekollektie Contemporary Art | Design Priveekollektie Contemporary Art | Design is a leading international gallery of contemporary and functional art. Based in the Netherlands, Priveekollektie actively works with a range of collectors, represents internationally recognized artists and designers, and provides a platform for up-andcoming talents to showcase their exceptional pieces. Priveekollektie, translated private collection, indicates the policy and provenance of the gallery. The name transmits the gallery’s mission: to aid collectors in forming their personal collections of art + design. The name further reflects the gallery’s legacy in personal curation and intimate bonds with collectors and artists. Reinier Bosch Reinier Bosch’s (1980, Groningen) works are inspired by photographic reality both in his native Netherlands and abroad. He observes life in different cultures and translates what he experiences into his creative process. His works are layered, in the composition and arrangement of materials, but also in the stories they tell. The use of common materials and a reference to everyday life is characteristic of his work. At the core of Reinier Bosch’s work is the notion that the universe exists as pure energy.

Hans van Houwelingen Hans van Houwelingen’s work reflects its time and explores the past as a way of activity engaging with the present. Subtle interventions transform the context, thus creating fresh perspectives as well as new visions and paradigms. Today we are familiar with the tarnished future of the child who had the swastika proudly pinned to his oversized brown shirt. He himself does not know what the future holds, and shows us the naïve innocence of the dream of proving one’s masculinity. Does our time reflect that of the boy or vice versa perhaps? In what way are we deluding ourselves? Do we know what time will bring forth? Van Houwelingen explores the fragility of dreams of heroism and shows us the irrevocability of unconditional surrender.

Kor Smeenge After a tumultuous ride Kor got his master’s degree in fine arts at the Dutch Art Institute (DAI) in 2005. Kor returned to Groningen where he once studied fine arts at Academie Minerva. In these years the groundwork was layed for his artistic career. Already in his years at Academy Minerva Kor showed a keen interest in nature and science. And later having a mathematician as a mentor at DAI made sure he would embrace this flavor of arts to the fullest extent ever since. In Groningen he started producing ‘instruments’; applied artistic extensions of the senses. These autonomous instruments would be played by physical aspects of the surroundings they were exposed to. Transducing for instance what they ‘felt’ into musical score and play it. But also, a variety of other automatons were made, each susceptible to some distinct parameter in their physical surroundings. Not interactive but rather reactive. This line of thought is illustrative of Kor’s world view. Set up an experiment and see. The interactions of his instruments with their surroundings illustrate the artists ability to tap into the fundamentals of reality. What makes pressure sound, why does my mind construct time, why can we only see so much light? ..Think of a boy gazing at the stars.

Royal Tichelaar Makkum – “The Pyramids of Makkum” The company’s complex restoration of a seventeenth-century flower pyramid, one of the most prized pieces in the Rijksmuseum, prompted it to assign the 2008 project Pyramids of Makkum to four designers with whom the company felt it had a very close relationship. Hella Jongerius, Studio Makkink & Bey, Studio Job and Alexander van Slobbe were asked to come up with a contemporary response to the flower tower. They had to keep to the idea of an ‘ornamental vase’ and stay within the dimensions of the original flower tower. The designers were at liberty to include any aspect of the historical context or tower they so desired.

https://www.dutchcultureusa.com/event/priveekollektie-at-the-salon-art-design-nyc/


‘Tomorrow’s heritage’ The assignment resulted from the desire not to limit the acquired expertise in restoration, but to deploy and exhibit it more broadly. The result is a very impressive display of five amazing pieces: the traditional replica and the four inspirations all made using the original faience technique. The Zuiderzee Museum in Enkhuizen bought the first series in advance, thereby contributing to the realization of the project. The series is made in a limited edition of seven pieces and is already regarded as part of ‘tomorrow’s heritage’. Specifications The traditional replica and the four inspirations in a series of 7. De average size is 400x400x1500 mm (height) Delftware: the product was formed from local clay and fired. A tin glaze, created inhouse, was applied to the fired pots. The painted decoration was applied on top of the raw glaze and then the product was carefully fired a second time.

Corine van Voorbergen Corine van Voorbergen is an intuitive artist who uses minimalistic round art forms to focus on the idea of eternal movement. Corine believes that “art and interior design should complement each other”. From this perspective Corine moves through both fields, presenting her work at Art Fairs, in Galleries and at Interior Design events around the world.

Carolina Wilcke Founded in 2009 by Carolina Wilcke, the studio’s signature aesthetic was born with the release of her very first installation: the 3 dimensional still life “Tafelgenoten” which combines several materials and crafts. This photograph of a still-life, existing of the tableware that is part of the installation, refers to seventeenth century painters, who showed their versatility by painting diverse textures in still-lifes. Moreover, the installation as a whole is a reflection of this important period in the Dutch art history, as Wilcke shows her craftmanship in the execution of each of the objects. Carolina Wilcke’s interest for all things creative is live-long. Before her initial training as a goldsmith, she wanted to be a sculptor and quotes Brancusi as one of her influences. An encounter with a glodsmith led her to this new path. However, when completing this study, she was looking for more. “I learnt a craft, to find out I actually wanted to design things”. Carolina attended the would-famous Design Academy Eindhoven, in order to acquire the tools that could help her channel her abundant imagination. She received her degree in 2009, when the Academy was directed by the famous trend forecaster, curator, publisher, and educator Li Edelkoort. Carolina graduated specializing in interior products that are on the edge of art and design. During the intitution’s graduation show in 2009 Irving and Miriam van Dijk, the gallerists from Priveekollektie Contemporary Art |Design, immediately noticed the intriguing combination between the celebration of art history and her refined re-interpretation and appropriation of it. Just one year later, in 2010, Priveekollektie was already internationally showcasing her pieces “4D Cabinet”and “Tafelgenoten”during Design Miami/Basel. Caronlina set her name in the international design world. Since then her work has been exhibited at Design Miami/Basel, PAD fairs, Art Geneve, 21_21 design sight Tokyo, Oranien baum Royal palace, London Design Festival, Textile Museum, Beijing Design Week, and PAN Amsterdam among others. The young artist and designer’s high level work is exactly what collectors and design brands search when scouting for cutting edge and collectible design.

Alexandra Mor Fine Jewelry Designer to Lead Protagonist Exhibition at Salon Art + Design

Internationally renown fine jewelry designer Alexandra Mor’s exquisite jewelry is sought out by collectors. She is a fine jewelry industry leader for her distinctive, artistic and technically proficient jewelry designs, limited editions, one-of-a-kind collections with such attention to detail is typically found among Place Vendôme jewelers.

https://eatlovesavor.com/alexandra-mor-fine-jewelry-designer-to-lead-protagonistexhibition-at-salon-art-design/


Acknowledging the weight of her role as a leader in her industry, Mor has always used conflictfree fine gems in her designs. In recent years, she has taken this consciousness further and evolved her role adding to it advocate for sustainability and mindful design. She has embraced her motto, Designers Are the New Activists and embarked on a mission to educate others about the benefits of low impact practices, and effectively rebrand sustainable materials in the field of fine jewelry.

Unveiled in 2017, Mor’s Journey’s collection featuring the tagua seed spurred interest from fellow leaders in the field of haute jewelry. She was named Creative Director of Vogue Italia’s annual Protagonist Exhibition and has since grown the event year over year, bringing together like-minded designers, artists, brands and collectors who believe in the ability of fine jewelry to make positive contributions to the fields of sustainability and preservation. For the 2019 edition of the Protagonist held at the Salon of Art + Design on Park Avenue Armory, November 14-18, Mor presents a curated selection of her work from past and current partnerships that embrace exceptional craftsmanship and fair, low-impact practices.

https://eatlovesavor.com/alexandra-mor-fine-jewelry-designer-to-lead-protagonistexhibition-at-salon-art-design/


Tagua Seed / Photo by Russel Starr Through her work in public speaking and events, Mor has inspired her field and affected real, positive change in the movement towards mindful design. She is the recipient of several awards honoring her efforts in the sustainable luxury field.

https://eatlovesavor.com/alexandra-mor-fine-jewelry-designer-to-lead-protagonistexhibition-at-salon-art-design/


Mor’s path to embracing mindful design began when she felt the need for a creative boost. After six years of managing her brand in New York City, Alexandra took a leap and moved to the island of Bali with her family. It was in Bali that she found the space to focus on new ideas centered around the preservation and celebration of the natural world and its rich cultures of people.

https://eatlovesavor.com/alexandra-mor-fine-jewelry-designer-to-lead-protagonistexhibition-at-salon-art-design/


Enlisting the work of traditional Balinese carvers and fine metal artisans, Mor created her tagua seed capsule collection with the goal to elevate the tagua seed as a luxury material and effective replacement for elephant ivory. As Mor continued to learn about the horrors of elephant poaching and illegal harvesting of ivory, her discovery of the tagua seed was an obvious choice to contribute her talents toward a very worthy cause.

About Vogue Protagonist Exhibit The Protagonist began in 2014, curated by Vogue Gioiello, as a celebration of haute couture and a showcase of innovation in fine jewelry design. Since 2017, the exhibition, creatively lead by Haute Couture designer and Artistic Director, Alexandra Mor, embraced a more responsible, mindful and sustainable approach. In the past 2 years, the event has pioneered a shift towards sustainability in the fine jewelry industry introducing new ideas, shifting the concept around what collecting and fine jewelry means, and introducing new responsibly sourced materials. About Alexandra Mor Alexandra Mor launched her first collection in 2010 and has steadily grown her business through her Signature Collections and personalized service. In 2017, Alexandra took a step back from the frenetic pace of New York City and moved her life and practice to Bali, Indonesia. It was there that Alexandra discovered the tagua seed, the botanical equivalent to elephant ivory. She incorporated the tagua into a high jewelry collection in hopes of redirecting the demand from the harmful use of elephant ivory to that of the renewable tagua. Later that year, Alexandra successfully proposed the tagua seed for Vogue Italia’s annual US Protagonist Event , and in doing so, she helped position the tagua seed as a luxury material on a larger scale. Alexandra Mor has spoken about her approach to sustainability at conferences worldwide and hopes to inspire a change of thought and practice. Notable appointments and awards include Fashion Group International’s Rising Star Award 2013, inclusion in the comprehensive survey, Women Jewellery Designers by Juliet de La Rochefoucauld, published by ACC Publishing, and Town & Country’s Innovator of the Year 2018.

Shiny and new: a modern look at Lacquer’s ancient craft The 9,000-year-old Japanese technique is now being applied to rough-hewn wood By Emma-Crichton Miller

Furniture designer Max Lamb in his studio © Nuria Rius/Gallery FUMI

https://www.ft.com/content/85c38f6a-c980-11e9-af46-b09e8bfe60c0


At London Design Festival, FUMI gallery in Mayfair is unveiling a new collection of furniture by Max Lamb. Lamb is known for his rugged designs and primitive hand-working methods with natural materials. This collection is the culmination of a six-year investigation into one of the world’s oldest and most refined decorative arts traditions: Japanese lacquer. Known as urushi, it is a technique with a 9,000-year history. The lacquer is derived from the sap of the urushi tree or toxicodendron vernicifluum, which mostly grows in east Asia. Its main ingredient, the poisonous urushiol, can cause a severe allergic reaction, but once multiple layers are applied to a surface and dried, it creates a very hard, smooth and durable finish, resistant to alkali, acid, salinity and alcohol as well as damp and heat. Lacquerware has long been admired in the west — inspiring, for instance, the craze for red and black “japanning” at the end of the 17th century in Europe, where a different process of applying resin varnishes achieved similar results and, later, the collaborations of 20th-century western designers such as Eileen Gray and Ettore Sottsass with Japanese masters. Lamb was introduced to lacquer in 2010. Tokyo-born, London-based designer Emiko Oki had invited him to participate in a project entitled “Collacqueration — designed in the UK, lacquered in Japan”. Six UK-based designers, three of them European, produced objects that were then lacquered by master craftsmen in Japan. Lamb had been nervous of the process: “To me, it looked like plastic, even though I knew it to be a very lovingly time-consuming process,” he says.

https://www.ft.com/content/85c38f6a-c980-11e9-af46-b09e8bfe60c0


In Japan, the tradition is to lacquer objects that have been finely finished. Wood is often used because its porosity allows many layers of liquid lacquer to penetrate deeply, but before this the grain is sanded away to create an immaculate surface. Lamb chose to produce as a base an object with an entirely different aesthetic: a rough-hewn, three-legged stool made using traditional Welsh green-woodworking techniques. He split open a log from a chestnut tree along the grain, exposing the natural character of the wood, and constructed a stool of gleeful irregularity. It was this object that lacquer craftsman Hidetaka Wakashima transformed. Lamb was won over: “It had far more depth and quality of the hand than mechanically sprayed objects. You could see where the lacquer had pooled in corners and pulled back from the peaks. You could see the warped wood.” Lamb also created a series of mugs with Akira Sugimura, replicating an old spun-steel enamelled army mug in hand-turned wood and black lacquer. By now, he was hooked.

At that point, Lamb’s relationship to urushi was, he says, quite abstract. But in 2013 Oki invited him to visit Wajima, a centre for lacquerware in Japan. Lamb spent two weeks visiting craftspeople, their families and the community. “I understood a little more about the hierarchy; I worked alongside them,” Lamb says. In addition to the split-wood pieces, Lamb designed a cabinet, the outside roughly hand-split, the insides sanded “to show off the different qualities of the lacquer”. He also created a “pillow” table, all sleek soft corners: inspired, he says, by lacquered tea and rice bowls. “I was so touched by these https://www.ft.com/content/85c38f6a-c980-11e9-af46-b09e8bfe60c0


lacquer bowls, to clasp one with two hands, to feel its smoothness,” he says. Both pieces sold in Design Miami Basel. Other pillow tables followed, finished in different colours by the Wajima master Nakakado. This year’s show was born in 2016 when FUMI suggested Lamb develop a solo show. “I realised that I had been working almost continuously with these people since 2010 and I wanted to do justice to our relationship,” he says. Each piece takes up to three months to lacquer, with around 22 people working on it as it is carried from the home of the master of one stage of the process to the next.

“I fell in love with the spirit of the place,” he says. “Everyone works from their own home, it is such a team effort. It resembles the way I work at home. It is as if there is this Japanese parallel universe.” Lamb worked with one man who specialises in cutting the logs of particular trees to create a pair of benches, one to make a toy box, and another to create a series of plates and bowls. He then worked with a specialist to make boxes for bowls. There will be 10 split-wood pieces, one cabinet and a Wajima-nuri table, in a variety of traditional and contemporary colours. “I want to celebrate the Japanese sensibility about materials,” Lamb says. “I want to bring the process into my physical world, in front of my audiences, for people to appreciate these objects in person.” https://www.ft.com/content/85c38f6a-c980-11e9-af46-b09e8bfe60c0


Lamb represents the latest wave of contemporary designers seizing upon lacquer. This September, Lara Bohinc, another urushi fan, is launching a collection of lacquered jewellery, and at Salon Art + Design in New York in November she will unveil a new chair and desk in lacquer. At the Conran Shop you can view the new Artek ColoRing Jo Nagasaka Collection — a collaboration between the Finnish brand and Japanese designer Jo Nagasaka, produced to celebrate the centenary of Japanese-Finnish diplomatic relations. Nagasaka has coated the archetypal Stool 60, Bench 153B and Tea Trolley 901, designed by Alvaro Aalto in 1933, in vibrant lacquer using a modernised but recognisably Japanese technique.

‘Slow Motion’ by Bakker

Finally, Dutch designer Aldo Bakker this year revealed a new collection of lacquer furniture at Carpenters Workshop Gallery in New York. Bakker has been working with urushi since 2005. “I wanted to give my objects a skin that was beautiful but was not specifically about a technique. I do not like plastic, I do not understand the material. But I saw urushi and it was pure beauty for me,” Bakker says. “At first the complexity of the craft and the time it takes to accomplish was a https://www.ft.com/content/85c38f6a-c980-11e9-af46-b09e8bfe60c0


burden. It took time, in turn, to embrace this tradition and its demands. But I have since become an ambassador.” Working with Sergej Kirilov and Marina Korotkaja from Studio Lacquer Decor, Bakker has developed a process that offers even greater durability and a luxurious depth of colour. “There is so much potential in this beautiful material. It is an intense but quiet appreciation of time and concentration. It lifts the object to a level where it will remain interesting for a long time. It is the opposite of throwaway.” ‘URUSHI Wajima by Max Lamb’, Gallery FUMI, September 14–October 26, galleryfumi.com; Lara Bohinc, bohincstudio.com; ColoRing, conranshop.co.uk; ‘Aldo Bakker: Slow Motion’, Carpenters Workshop Gallery, carpentersworkshopgallery.com

NYC Salon Art + Design 2019 By Megumi Murphy

One of New York’s favorite events is the Salon Art + Design fair; a collection of carefully chosen art, design and antiques. They are known for their appreciation of diversity and culture, including 56 groups (from 14 different countries) of international art and design galleries, making the showcased pieces suitable for anyones palette. Starting from November 14th and going through the 18th, people can spend time wandering around Park Avenue Armory admiring furniture and designs from the 19th through 21st centuries. It is produced by Stanford L. Smith and Associates, who made sure that the exhibitors possess individuality and quality. This year is special because, although this is their eight year, they are making some changes by including both experienced and freshly interested collectors - creating a welcoming experience. They are also stepping out of their norm and allowing a gallery with no permanent venue, Gabriel and Guillaume, showcase their midcentury French material at a booth for the first time.

Salon Art + Design Brings International Dealers Together, Benefits Dia By Bettina Zilkha

Salon Art + Design returned to the Park Avenue Armory for its eighth season on Thursday. Exhibitors from thirteen countries gathered to show the best furniture and accessories in modern and contemporary design, coupled with extraordinary 20th and 21st century art. Nearly 4,000 people attended Thursday's opening VIP cocktail, hosted by art-world mother and daughter powerhouses Nathalie and Laura de Gunzburg, with all proceeds going to Dia Art Foundation. https://www.forbes.com/sites/bettinazilkha/2019/11/15/salon-art--design-brings-internatio nal-dealers-together-benefits-dia/#69044bfd1a90


"There is a synergy here," said Nathalie de Gunzburg. "For both Dia and Salon, it's about creativity and bringing out the best in people - artists, dealers, collectors. I always find tons of things to buy at this fair." "Salon is an amazing melting pot of design, vintage, modern and contemporary art," said Laura de Gunzburg. "In addition to that, Salon is committed to Dia's mission of supporting artists and helping them realize their visions." Laura should know: she is a partner at The Cultivist, opening doors to exclusive art events to members around the world. "The Cultivist always has something going on; the art world always has an art fair, or another show opening," said Laura. "At the moment, we have a group of members doing an international trip in Israel, in both Tel Aviv and Jerusalem." The de Gunzburgs know how to bring out the great collectors: Beth Rudin DeWoody, Whitney Robinson, Patricia Herrera, Margaret Russell, Richard Mishaan and Anh Duong were strolling the halls in search of that perfect object of unparalleled quality. At the entrance, Lalique set the bar high for excellence, with crystal birds floating printed on images of pearls, and Lalique windows to die for. Inside the exhibition hall, Liz O'Brien returned to Salon for the third time, with her signature mix of vintage pieces and contemporary design. Her star piece this year was an extraordinary terrazzo fireplace surround. "The terrazzo panels are from the 1930's," said O'Brien. "They are by a San Francisco artist named Esther Bruton, signed in the design. We had the panels, but no way to really exhibit them, so we asked Stephen Antonson to make the surround. It's a wood core with plaster, done with a palette knife. It has great texture." Benoit Drut of Maison Gerard was back at Salon for the fifth time. "Salon is a really successful mix of 20th and 21st century art and design," said Drut. "It's very concentrated, very focused. I love Salon for its international mix of dealers. It started out as mostly French, but it's become much more blended. It's a great array of different disciplines. Our neighbors across from us are Russian [from Moscow's Heritage International Gallery], and they are showing pieces from the Soviet Union in the 1930's." Drut was showing a striking sconce/sculpture by Doug Fanning, against a patinated bronze console by the same artist. Valentina Pozzoni at Nilufar Gallery was showing a bespoke Ignazio Gardella bookcase, made for Anna Castelli-Ferrieri's private house. It is the only one of its kind, distinguished by a felt-topped shelf at waist level. "We love to come to Salon," said Pozzoni. "There are great vibes from collectors, and the quality is very high." https://www.forbes.com/sites/bettinazilkha/2019/11/15/salon-art--design-brings-internatio nal-dealers-together-benefits-dia/#69044bfd1a90


For those who were not in the market for furniture, Vogue Italia brought together a room of fifteen high-end jewelry designers, including GemPalace, Louise Courteille, and Peggy Stepaich Guinness. "I was thrilled to have been contacted by Vogue Italia to be part of Salon," said Guinness, who has been designing jewelry for thirty years. "There is even a page in Vogue Italia to mark the occasion." Guinness was showing a striking kyanite necklace with a white gold clasp and blue sapphire cabochons - the perfect thing to buy on one's way out.

Amedeo by Farone Menella Just a few quotes about sustainability from two of the partipating designers: Katey Brunini; “Sustainability is a symbiotic relationship between man and nature. Mining is a touchy subject in the jewelry industry, and it can be argued that artisanal production by indigenous people is the answer to third world development and global sustainability. Being related to small production, alluvial mining, and collection rather than mass conglomerates. There is no pure answer but If we take, we must give back.” Feng J: “Sustainability is a choice, an attitude, and responsibility for the world. To me, it’s a sense of mindfulness in my creations. jewelry piece with Aesthetic sense, superior craftsmanship and a good meaning to the environment is a collectable for the future.”

Meet Yolande Milan Batteau, Wallpaper Atelier to the Elite Batteau's Brooklyn-based studio leverages ancient techniques from around the world to design sustainable surfaces and wallpapers for Chanel, Tiffany & Co., and more. By Hannah Lott-Schwartz

Yolande Milan Batteau at work during production of an installation at Salon Art + Design in 2018.Courtesy of Matthew Placek The difference between wallpaper and fine art is paper thin at Callidus Guild in Brooklyn, New York, where Yolande Milan Batteau, an exhibited fine artist with more than 25 years of experience, partners with other artisans to give wallpaper installs the high-brow treatment. Batteau has traveled the world, studying and mastering ancient methods of wall treatment perfected by the Romans, Japanese, Germans, and others throughout history.

https://fortune.com/longform/yolande-milan-batteau-wallpaper/


The result: Walls that are works of art on their own. Batteau would tell you that Callidus Guild is much more than just wallpaper, however. The studio creates three kinds of artwork: hand-painted wallpaper, paintings for walls on canvas or board, and site-specific surface installations in a range of media. Essentially, it’s a decorative arts organization that makes implementing artwork easy, something that’s earned the studio such clients as Chanel, Louis Vuitton, and Tiffany & Co. The process is imbued with intention down to the very materials themselves, foraged whenever possible by Callidus Guild’s artisans. Though no longer containing arsenic (as was en vogue during the Victorian era), today’s vinyl wall coverings come with their own host of health and environment concerns. So instead, Callidus Guild uses recycled cellulose, which not only suppresses mold and mildew but also doubles as insulation (it’s a favored substitute for fiberglass). Tints are done by hand; paints are made in house, and pigments come from historical recipes that might include camel urine or dried and crushed beetles; the materials used in every surface created are all natural, down to the marble plasters; and it’s all carried out by artists and artisans in New York City who are paid a living wage.

Inside the Tiffany and Co's gallery panel made by Batteau. Courtesy of Callidus Guild Batteau’s Callidus Guild work is, in many cases, an anchor, connected both to the architecture of the space and to the earth itself, grounding through familiar textures and tones that allude to the natural phenomena that exists beyond the walls’ bounds. Here, Batteau waxes poetic on power: of the collaborative collective, of paint pigment, and of that within the person herself.

https://fortune.com/longform/yolande-milan-batteau-wallpaper/


Fortune: Why found Callidus Guild? Batteau: I started working as Callidus Guild in 1996 in San Francisco, but really founded the company as it is today in 2003. Painters often work in isolation, and after traveling through Africa for a year, I decided I want to work collectively. Creating a guild made it possible for me to work with experts in various media, in layers, to approach larger, more complex projects knowing I could pull them off by installing them with other artists and artisans, not just assistants. Ancient techniques present throughout your work. How did that start? When I studied painting at the Art Institute in San Francisco, the conversation of the day was that "painting is dead." No one was teaching academic painting; no one knew much about the materials and methods of painting anymore, and especially not in contemporary art schools. I was truly in love with painting on canvas and desperate to acquire virtuosity to express myself. I sought out an autodidact path of reading books, doing experiments, and setting up exercises to teach myself the craft of art making. In the process, I learned that art should not be separated from life, that you must pay attention. Many of the materials we use at Callidus Guild are historically used in the decorative arts, or architecture: renders of marble dust plaster, nacre, gilding. We experiment with new ways of using these materials, like water gilding on Selenite (instead of just glass), or putting plaster on handpainted wallpaper and manipulating it as if it were a lacquer instead of a plaster.

How did you find your way to wallpaper? I made wallpaper because that is what Chanel wanted. The direction of my work has been driven by the desires and needs of my patrons. That is how building a commercial arts business worked for me. I developed products that suited my clients’ constraints, informed by my unique hand and eye. I didn't originally plan to make commercial art but was able to have access to the finest materials, methods, and collaborators on earth by staying open and willing. I think of it as forging because that hammering has made me stronger. What medium did you work in previously? My first love was artist's oil paint, stumbled onto un-bleached Belgian linen, prepared with plaster of paris cakes—laid heavy, like frosting impasto, the peaks of the paint rising as you release the brush! I could barely afford these mediums when I started. Cobalt was too expensive to use with any abandon. They had stopped making paints with much pigment in the 1990s. Dense, pigment rich, handmade linseed oil and pigment, mulled by hand and knifed into old-fashioned, metal tubes—I died over that! Buttery oil paint and a springy badger-hair filbert brush. Most painters prefer sable, but it's a little too soft for me. I spent thousands of hours painting that way, often alone in a basement studio, totally in love.

Beatteau's gold mirrors were made using gold leafs applied via an ancient technique called verreeglomise. Courtesy of Lauren Coleman How do you approach a blank wall or a new space? I invent techniques with modified tools or switch out materials to arrive at new places. I enjoy experimenting with tooling and polishing, or sanding back layers to expose the path. Sometimes new techniques arrive from happy accidents! You can never underestimate the power of play or flow in discovering the new or beauty or joy. I feel truly blessed to be in a position to create culture. I encourage all young women to follow their passions, vision, dreams, whatever they are, because this is not a dress rehearsal—this is the real thing. Now Callidus Guild offers a range of exquisite handmade wallpapers, so many people simply go to Elitis, our showroom in New York, and order a commission. Everything is sur-mesure (tailored). Our studio collaborates with clients on anything from tweaking a palette to hiring me to create complete works of art from scratch. The creative process can take years in development. If you simply purchase our wallpaper, you are tapping into decades of creative process to have arrived at my designs. What are you currently working on? Two thousand five hundred yards of custom paper for a project in China. It has been months! I am in a group show, The Stone Show, at Gallery TwentyTwenty Two, with Richard Hart, Noemi Langlois-Meurinne, and Avery Gregory, all friends, which is up through [November 30]. It has been a wonderful detour to make personal work again, and this show is especially intimate.

13 of the Most Extraordinary Pieces at Salon Art + Design 2019 We tapped design talents Alexandre Assouline, Amy Lau, Carlos Mota, and Cherine Magrabi Tayeb to share what caught their eye By Lucy Rees

From November 14 through 19, Salon Art + Design returns to the Park Avenue Armory in Manhattan for its 2019 edition. The prestigious event showcases the best in vintage, modern, and contemporary design alongside blue-chip works of art at 56 booths set up by galleries hailing from 14 countries. https://www.galeriemagazine.com/salon-2019-art-design/


With hundreds of fairs taking place around the world, Salon distinguishes itself by creating immersive domestic environments that reflect the way people live with art and design. Highlights include French architect and designer Mathieu Lehanneur’s installation in the Colonel Room and South Hall, where he will display never-before-seen works, as well as American designer Frank Pollaro’s custom furnishings, all of which are hand-crafted from rare woods. Perhaps Cherine Magrabi Tayeb sums it up best when she tells Galerie: “Design is art… and great design is always great art.” Ahead of the opening, we asked four members of the honorary committee to share what caught their eye. 1. Cherine Magrabi Tayeb “I grew up surrounded by both art and design so the commonality between the two is natural for me although I’m aware it is still very much part of a contentious debate amongst many! Art and design are the manifest expression of personal emotions and intimate stories. For art, this is its essential intent. However, for design, it is simply one of many tools a creator will employ in the execution of his or her work. At Salon Art + Design this year, I fell for these pieces which embody both.” Recommended: Collector Cherine Magrabi Tayeb Opens Up Her Sensational Santa Monica Home

It is surprising as well as intriguing. I’ve always been drawn to the Gothic style, and this piece perfectly exemplifies what I like about it. Placed above a beautiful round table, it would be a great conversation starter for guests. 
I don’t only like the object, but also the light that it has managed to capture.”

I love these metal fruits at Friedman Benda by Jonathan Trayte—I think they are amazing. They feel new and fresh and I like how you can see the craftsmanship.” Recommended: Inside Furnituremaker Frank Pollaro’s Fascinating Workshop “Furniture is very replaceable so I always advise to buy something that you truly love and want to see in your house for a long time. I love this sofa designed by Elisabeth Garouste & Mattia Bonetti in 1991 at Gabriele Guillaume, a pair of pair of Jennifer Nocon ceramic stoneware table lamps on view at Liz O’Brien Gallery, and this pair of Mattia Bonetti armchairs at David Gill Gallery.”

Floor to Ceiling LIGHTING DESIGNER

BEC BRITTAIN UNVEILS HER FIRST RUG COLLECTION

Crystal Bridge

Choosing a lighting designer for a rug collaboration seems like an out-of-the-box decision, but for Bec Brittain—whose first flooring collection, Taxonomy, recently debuted at Edward Fields—the relationship made perfect sense. Brittain and the carpet company found common ground in geometry and craft. “Brittain’s distinct lexicon intrigued us from the start,” says Edward Fields’ design director, Juliana Polastri. “She is among the most avant-garde designers of our time.” Brittain used her careerdefining fixture, Mercury, as a starting point. Then experiments in pleating led to an exploration of patterns found in nature, particularly shapes connected to insects, which Brittain had used in some of her early sculpture work. With Taxonomy, the shell of a beetle becomes the Elytra rug, while a spiral of antennae begets Lamella (shown). “When I decided to start a lighting design company, it wasn’t because lighting was the only thing I liked to do,” says Brittain. “I just felt I needed to specialize to be excellent at something. This was a really nice opportunity to be given a new world to play in.” becbrittain.com, edwardfields.com —J.S.

LALIQUE’S MOST ICONIC DESIGNS FROMENTAL WALL COVERING

W

hen the team at Lalique was looking to refresh its London atelier, it turned to Fromental’s masterful chinoiserie wall coverings, which showcase the flowers and birds popular in the crystal maker’s oeuvre, to help transform the space. That collaboration led to Fromental’s latest highly decorative design, Hirondelles, featuring Lalique’s 130th anniversary swallow and Belle Epoque dahlia, hand-painted and hand-embroidered on silk. “It was a brilliant way to pay homage to René Lalique’s first sketches,” says Lizzie Deshayes, cofounder and design director of Fromental. “The adaptation manages to bridge our traditional chinoiserie style and Lalique sculpture.” The pattern made its U.S. debut at November’s Salon Art & Design in New York in a breathtaking display that combined the Fromental wallpaper, perfectly matched wall-mounted Lalique dahlias and Hirondelles that are dusted with 18K gold, and a handwoven rug that translates the romantic look into a floor covering, which was crafted in Burgundy, France, by Manufacture de Tapis de Bourgogne. “An important part of this is to remind us all how incredibly influential René Lalique was to the history of decorative arts,” says Gwen Carlton, head of interiors and special projects at Lalique. “What you also see here is just a reminder of how impactful he continues to be on design.” lalique.com, fromental.co.uk —JILL SIERACKI 34

Salon Art + Design has differentiated itself from other art exhibitions and fairs by including a highly curated mixture of historic and contemporary collectable design and fine art.

Garrido Gallery https://www.iloboyou.com/salon-art-design-2019-art-galleries-that-will-be-thriving/


The success of Salon lies in the quality of its exhibiting modern art galleries, the extremely international flavour of the material and eclecticism that is highly sought by today’s collectors and tastemakers. Both young and seasoned collectors approach the creative design market, seeking the new, the uncommon, and the accessible. The material offered at Salon ranges from periods that have now become classic: Bauhaus, Art Deco and mid-century design coexisting happily with work by young and established contemporary makers.

Al Salon Art + Design di New York si celebra l’Italia Sessanta gallerie, di cui la metà europee hanno presentato artisti italiani del dopoguerra e molti pezzi di designer By Giuditta Giardini

Dettaglio opera di Vincenzo Agnetti (1926-1981), Oggi io e te abbiamo detto di no battuta da Christie's per 32,450£, esposta in fiera

Tutti i 4.000 presenti alla preview hanno avuto l'impressione, uscendo ed entrando dai 56° booth del the Salon Art + Design di New York (14-18 novembre), che in ballo ci fosse molto di più del semplice showcase degli oggetti in vendita. L'allestimento dei booth ha stupito per l'efficacia, ma anche per lo spessore dei riferimenti storici più o meno immediati. La fiera al Park Avenue Armory ha avuto il merito di aver smentito la visione del Novecento imposta dal MoMA , ossia quella di un secolo dominato dallo stile pulito&funzionale del Bauhaus. Si sono fatte portavoce dei nuovi linguaggi, in questa ottava edizione del Salone, 30 gallerie statunitensi, ed altrettante europee, tra cui quattro italiane. I booth italiani al terzo posto per rappresentazione, contro i nove della Francia a pari merito con l'Inghilterra, hanno messo in scena un gioco di richiami tra design e storia dell'arte nazionale. https://www.ilsole24ore.com/art/al-salon-art-design-new-york-si-celebra-l-italia-AC2Z4s0


I player Da Giustini/Stagetti Gallery di Roma (booth A3), lo stile minimal si è tinto del miglior barocco romano. I materiali impiegati sono quelli della tradizione: il marmo bianco di carrara, il travertino non trattato e il bronzo dorato. Oro e nero si insinuano nelle linee pulite del design. Tra i tesori del booth ci sono le luci di Iosselliani Design, il Settimio II Cabinet (2012 – 2019), un armadio dorato e riccamente decorato e un coffee table in marmo lavorato come basolato romano dei Campana Brothers, una console modellata a guisa di una colonna romana che nello slancio ricorda la pasta del dentifricio firmata Anton Alvarez (Roman Toothpast Console, 2019). Il forte richiamo al mondo dell'arte italiano è visibile anche nella proposta della Nilufar Gallery (booth A20) di Milano, dove la disposizione studiata dei vasi e dei piatti di Paolo di Poli (vasi, 500-600€, da Il Ponte ) omaggia le nature morte di Giorgio Morandi. Tra sculture e oggetti nei booth del Salon Art + Design Photogallery16 foto Lo stile italiano Sono 12 le new entry di quest'anno, tra cui Casati storica galleria italiana con sede a Chicago. Nel booth di Casati firmato dall'Insituto Bardi Sol Camacho dialogano la migliore produzione artistica e il design made in Italy. “Il booth prende ispirazione da un bozzetto di Gae Aulenti - appeso alla parete– realizzato nel 1994 in preparazione dell'allestimento al Guggenheim Museum della mostra ‘The Italian Metamorphosis, 1943-1968' (6 ottobre 1994-22 gennaio 1995), curata da Germano Celant” spiega Ugo Alfano Casati, proprietario dell'omonima galleria, mentre sfoglia il catalogo della mostra newyorchese. Oltre allo schizzo dell'architetta friulana di adozione milanese, sui muri del booth sono appesi bassorilievi in ceramica invetriata di Fausto Melotti e un Bonalumi che illumina il Loveseat di Franco Albini per Casa Carati (Milano) del 1945. Esposti sono anche pezzi di Studio BBPR, Andrea Branzi, Luigi Caccia Dominioni, Carol Rama, Aldo Rossi, Gino Sarfatti, Carlo Scarpa, Phillipe Nigro e Jonathan Nesci. Davanti al booth di Casati, c'è quello della galleria torinese Mazzoleni che da sette anni è presente al Salon e all'edizione primaverile di Tefaf NY . “Al Salon non abbiamo concorrenza, siamo rimasti l'unica galleria con questo genere di offerta” dichiara Luigi Mazzoleni, direttore della galleria di famiglia ed aggiunge: “i nostri clienti abituali sanno che ci troveranno qui”. Non è facile per una galleria d'arte avere l'ok per l'ingresso al salone, l'offerta deve essere compatibile con la visione della fiera. La proposta di Mazzoleni comprende, oltre ad opere di Alexander Calder e Hans Hartung, un Lucio Fontana di colore nero con due striature rosa, due opere di Alghiero Boetti, tra cui la versione in scala di “Aerei” battuto nel 2018 da Christie's NY per 143.750€ e “L'Ombra del Dubbio” ( Fidesarte 16.000€ nel 2017, ma oggi in miglioramento); e ancora due Agostino Bonalumi, una scultura in bronzo, dopo il successo di “Forme uniche della continuità nello spazio” (fusione postuma del 1972, di un modello del 1913) di Umberto Boccioni, che con 16.165.000€ ha realizzato il quadruplo del più alto prezzo stimato, c'è grande richiesta per la scultura italiana; l'altro è “Rosso”, tela che in asta oscilla va tra 150.000€-250.000€, ed infine un Alberto Burri, che la galleria celebra nell'omonima mostra londinese, fino al 15 dicembre.

NOVEMBER 15, 2019

Salon Art + Design 2019: между традицией и экспериментом

56 галерей из 13 стран собрались под одной крышей ради восьмого Salon Art + Design (14– 18 ноября 2019). Ярмарка в Нью-Йорке предлагает контекстуальный микс: сочетание винтажных, современных и антикварных предметов. Выбор дилеров балансирует между традицией и экспериментом — от древних культур до премьер XXI века. Американский смотр галерейного искусства и дизайна, созданный компанией Sanford L. Smith + Associates, продолжает привлекать разнообразием не только жанровым, но и географическим — здесь появились экспоненты из России (галерея Кристины Краснянской «Эритаж»), Ливана и Южной Америки. И, конечно, все решает сценография: основанная на эклектизме она высоко ценится и современными коллекционерами и тейстмейкерами.

Как и на всех главных выставках art&design, качество всегда будет первым критерием отбора вещей, за которым быстро следует разнообразие предложений. Баланс важен, поэтому организаторы следят за тем, чтобы, скажем, экспоненты, представляющие итальянский дизайн, не увлеклись на всех своих стендах одним Джо Понти.

Inside the Immersive Showrooms at Salon Art + Design By Catherine Olsen

Challenging the traditional labels that categorize art, ​Wexler Gallery exhibits work that coexists in the realms of design and contemporary fine art. Photography courtesy of Peter Baker. The Park Avenue Armory in Manhattan is a chameleon of sorts—an expansive space that thrives, in part, due to its unfailing ability to adapt and surprise, which holds true for the 2019 ​Salon Art + Design produced by ​Sanford L. Smith + Associates​. For the ​annual event​, which opened last night and runs through Monday, the Armory morphs into an art-infused labyrinth featuring 56 immersive galleries with furnishings and installations from around the globe. This year, there's no shortage of colorful and quirky contemporary pieces that spotlight vibrant hues and, in may cases, a bit of shimmer. The exhibition's eighth iteration draws heavily on bold pieces that border on the whimsical. Here's a peak at some of the immersive showrooms, which serve as a reminder that design could, and should be, an invitation to play with form, color, and composition. https://www.interiordesign.net/articles/17240-inside-the-immersive-showrooms-at-salon-art -design/

Since its inception in 2007, ​Friedman Benda has served as an international platform for designers at the forefront of their practice, as well as historically significant estates. The gallery highlights key narratives that intersect contemporary design, craft, architecture, cutting-edge technological research, and visual and conceptual art.

WATCH: SA's Desert Rose ring dazzles at New York design fair

Designed and crafted in Cape Town, the spectacular piece features 798 diamonds. Picture: Supplied Inspired by the South African King Protea and Pinchusion flower, the Desert Rose ring has become the show stopper at the prestigious Salon Art + Design Fair in New York City which runs from November 14 - 18, 2019. Designed and crafted in Cape Town, the spectacular piece features 798 diamonds. Created at the Shimansky jewellery manufacturing workshop in Cape Town’s V&A Waterfront, the breathtaking Desert Rose features ethically sourced South African diamonds, totalling 24.13ct, complimented by 42 tsavorite gems weighing 3.11ct, and the centrepiece, a desert rose crystal from Namibia, set in 58.80g 18ct gold. The Shimansky Desert Rose ring retails for about R600 000. https://www.iol.co.za/lifestyle/style-beauty/fashion/watch-sas-desert-rose-ring-dazzles-at-new-yorkdesign-fair-37256778


The design was inspired by South African Fynbos in particular the Pincushion and King Protea, while the ring gets its name from the Desert Rose crystals which are the central focus, enclosed by “petals” of gold and diamond with “stamens” of gold and tsavorite. Desert Rose crystals are found in arid regions across the world including Southern Africa – often in clusters resembling bunches of roses shaped by nature through the action of wind and water. https://www.iol.co.za/lifestyle/style-beauty/fashion/watch-sas-desert-rose-ring-dazzles-at-new-yorkdesign-fair-37256778


Traditionally they are valued for metaphysical properties and have been popular with shaman throughout history.

Capetonians and visitors to the Mother City will be able to experience the Desert Rose when it goes on display at The Cape Town Diamond Museum from December until the end of January 2020. In a first for the country, South African jewellery design house Shimansky was selected to join a line-up of international fine jewellery design houses for an exhibition titled The Protagonist celebrating the best in mindful and sustainable fine jewellery and curated by Vogue Italia for the Salon Art + Design Fair.

This year’s installment marks the fifth anniversary of the exhibition. Jewelry designer Alexandra Mor has served as the exhibition’s artistic director since 2017 and has been a leading voice when it comes urging the fine jewelry industry to design pieces using alternative materials— beginning with the tagua seed, the botanical alternative to elephant ivory. We know that millennial and Gen Z consumers, even those with very modest budgets, are highly influenced to purchase jewelry made with sustainable materials and are very concerned about ethical mining and craftsmanship practices and protecting the environment. Does the luxury customer, the discerning collector of considerable means, have similar principles and values? “The luxury customer is no different than any other consumer,” says Mor. “If a person cares about sustainability, it’s due to the personal values that are important to him or her.” But, says, Mor, an integral component of the Protagonist is to educate collectors on how to acquire jewelry while keeping issues of sustainability, social responsibility, and the good of the planet top of mind. As such, Mor will be leading a “Collecting Fine Jewelry in a Sustainable World” talk with the participating designers at the Armory on Saturday, Nov. 16, at 1 p.m. “All of the Protagonist brands have seen massive support from collectors who care about the planet and the environment,” she says. “I think oftentimes consumers will not always know how they can help or how to give back. With making high jewelry pieces they can wear and share the story of, they become ambassadors. As designers we give them an opportunity to be a part of the movement of change.” A sneak peek at some of the Protagonist designs is offered below. Ten percent of proceeds from sales at the show will be donated to the Rainforest Alliance.

The Protagonist exhibition: Vogue Italia and Alexandra Mor’s sustainable jewellery showcase New York is brimming with jewellery delicacies at this time of year, and aside from TEFAF, there is also a new, ethical showcase for jewellery designers. Between November 14th and 18th, Vogue Italia will present ‘The Protagonist’ at The Park Avenue Armory in New York as part of this year's Salon Art + Design exhibition. By Katerina Perez

Under the creative and artistic direction of Alexandra Mor, ‘The Protagonist’ marks a three- year partnership between Salon Art + Design and the jewellery designer. Although the exhibition first began in 2014, Mor first conceptualised the new direction of Vogue Italia's event in 2017. The New York-based designer chose to use the tagua seed as an emblem of environmentally sustainable jewellery materials as it is considered the botanical alternative to ivory. Through her ambassadorial role in the annual exhibition, Mor has encouraged other designers and brands to participate focusing on those who use alternative materials and utilise mindful creative practices. https://www.katerinaperez.com/articles/Protagonist-exhibition-Vogue-Italia


For 2019, ‘The Protagonist’ will present 15 leading jewellery designers and apart from Alexandra Mor’s latest creations you will see jewellery by Alessio Boschi, Alexander Laut, Liza Borzaya, Feng J, Amedeo by Faraone Mennella, Lydia Courteille, Munnu the Gem Palace, Neha Dani, Yair Shimansky and a few others. Each of them will showcase five to six creations, featuring materials such as recycled gemstones and precious metals, as well as reclaimed wood. Alexandra Mor has chosen the event to present an incredible natural hexagon crystalline eternity band called ‘Honoring the Earth’. It is embellished with 15 rough Muzo-mined Colombian emeralds weighing 15.27 carats.

Faraone Mennella 'Fireworks' necklace with emeralds in titanium and yellow gold https://www.katerinaperez.com/articles/Protagonist-exhibition-Vogue-Italia


Another example of unfaceted gems in jewellery comes from Neha Dani’s latest galactic inspired ‘Shristi’ collection. The Indian designer will exhibit the ‘Arunima ’earrings and ‘Vruta’ cuff that centre around water and fire opals set in vibrant titanium. A true rising star of the jewellery industry - Chinese designer Feng J. - as well as the awardwinning Italian jeweller Alession Boschi will showcase their tribute to nature in flower inspired jewellery. Alexander Laut and Karen Suen will wow the audience with spectacular gemstones that their jewellery is famed for while Amedeo along with Lydia Courteille will demonstrate outstanding gem carvings in their creations.

Feng J. ‘Garden of Impressionism’ collection ‘Lily of the Valley’ brooch with diamonds, tsavorites and electroplated 18k gold Another highlight of the exhibition is the Russian designer Liza Borzaya who will present her highly detailed enamel jewellery at The Protagonist for the first time. I am sure Chiara Passoni’s jewellery won't be left unnoticed, as it is embellished with 5 million year-old shark teeth, as well as sapphires and diamonds. “Our intent with this show is to inspire and lead our industry, retailers and collectors alike. Our curated group of fine jewellery designers is pioneering the way to a transparent fine jewellery industry. We are changing practices and using sustainable, environmentally friendly and responsibly sourced materials without compromising value, craftsmanship, aesthetics or quality,” says Alexandra Mor. \

https://www.katerinaperez.com/articles/Protagonist-exhibition-Vogue-Italia


‘The Protagonist’ will open to a VIP salon of attendees on the 14th November, including the press, stylists, buyers, fine art and jewellery collectors. During the four-day exhibition, Vogue Italia will also host a panel event, where a discussion around the urgent importance of ethical practices in the fine jewellery industry will take place. Not only will the exhibit display and promote these ethical and sustainable values, but it offers a further incentive of donating 10% of all proceeds from sales at Salon Art + Design to The Rainforest Alliance.

ÉTATS-UNIS

Les Français en force au Salon Art + Design La 8e édition du Salon Art + Design ouvre ses portes aujourd’hui au Park Avenue Armory et se poursuivra jusqu’à lundi. La foire rassemble cette année 56 exposants issus des États-Unis et d’Europe occidentale mais aussi de Moscou, Beyrouth et São Paulo. Les galeries parisiennes sont Vallois, Gabriel & Guillaume, BSL, Chastel-Maréchal, Chahan, Maison Rapin, Negropontes et Thomas Fritsch. Une série d’expositions est organisée en parallèle, dont une consacrée à Mathieu Lehanneur, qui a récemment conçu le lounge de la classe business d’Air France à l’aéroport Charles de Gaulle. Béatrice Saint-Laurent, directrice de la galerie BSL, montre l’œuvre de l’architecte parisienne Isabelle Stanislas, qui a entre autres conçu les salles de réception du palais de l’Élysée pour le président Macron. Ses tables intègrent une marqueterie de marbre, des incrustations de laiton et des formes sculpturales. « La foire accueille de nombreux conservateurs de musée : c’est le lieu idéal pour présenter Isabelle et son travail », note Saint-Laurent.

Parmi les musées qui ont clairement épousé une stratégie globale, le Victoria & Albert Museum se situe aux avant-postes, à côté du Guggenheim, du Louvre ou du Centre Pompidou. Après avoir inauguré un établissement à Dundee l’an dernier (voir QDA du 13 septembre 2018), le musée travaille sur une antenne chinoise à Shenzhen. Il ne néglige pas pour autant son extension par capillarité dans l’agglomération londonienne même. Pour piloter l’ambitieux projet de V&A East, celui-ci vient de recruter Augustus Casely-Hayford, directeur depuis février 2018 du National Museum of African Art à Washington, dépendant de la Smithsonian Institution. Diplômé en études culturelles au King’s College, Casely-Hayford est membre de plusieurs conseils d’administration, dont le National Trust ou la National Portrait Gallery (qui vient d’annoncer sa fermeture pour travaux). Son arrivée est programmée pour le printemps 2020. V&A East consiste en deux nouveaux bâtiments, qui seront inaugurés en 2023 sur un ancien site des Jeux Olympiques de 2012 (Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park) : un musée à proprement parler (dessiné par O’Donnell + Tuomey) et des réserves pour 250 000 objets, doublées d’un centre de recherche avec une bibliothèque de 350 000 volumes (dessinés par Diller Scofidio + Renfro).

Crystal And Golden Hirondelles Are The Focus Of This Chic Wallcoverings Collab By Sarah Shelton

Lalique and Fromental’s latest Hirondelles collection is set to make its U.S. debut this week at the Salon Art + Design fair, kicking off November 14. Lalique, a leading maker of crystal glass in France, and Fromental, a London-based wallcovering atelier, combined forces to create a focal point far from your usual wallpaper. The backdrop is a hand-painted silk chinoiserie wallcovering embroidered with Lalique crystal. Accenting the feminine, floral pattern are crystal dahlias and hirondelles (swallows), luster-sprayed in 18-karat gold dust, that seemingly float above the design.

https://luxesource.com/lalique-fromental-hirondelles-collection-salon-art-design?amp


It’s said that founder René Lalique designed the dahlia pattern at the height of the Belle Epoque period, while the swallow was a continual source of inspiration for his designs. Appropriately, the bird is the anniversary symbol of the house’s 130th anniversary. This Hirondelles collection is now available for purchase for custom order. For more on Salon Art + Design, visit thesalonny.com.

TALKING SHOP LINDSEY ADELMAN

Perhaps no current designer is more synonymous with lighting than Lindsey Adelman. Known for her custom installations, Adelman works with local artisans and American manufacturers to create fixtures made from glass, metal, marble and more. More recently, she opened an appointmentonly studio that combines with her sales and designer offices on Lafayette Street in Manhattan. lindseyadelman.com What was the impetus for this new studio? I felt like my sales team was split up from everybody else. Now that everybody is together, I find that the process is much smoother, starting from what our clients say they’re looking for all the way through the design process. And then that translates through the sales team back to the client. It’s more seamless. Describe your creative process while designing the space. It was really natural and organic. I basically just pretended I lived in a loft—which I don’t—so it’s just my favorite decor. It’s really like living out a fantasy.

PHOTO: STEPHEN KENT JOHNSON.

Which light fixtures do you display in the New York studio? It’s a rotating schedule, so it’s really fun to customize your own work. We’ll do at least two big switches per year, but small changes are happening all the time. Tell us what clients can expect from this space. A connection to the design team and to me, which I think designers love. But because of the size, designers can have private conversations here with their clients, homeowners or whomever they want. 098 / LUXESOURCE.COM

SALON ART + DESIGN

For the eighth year in a row, Salon Art + Design will set up shop at the Park Avenue Armory November 14-18. For those four days, visitors will have the chance to view a high caliber of art and design from 56 galleries in 14 countries that cuts across genres, styles and periods to create a robust compilation of works highlighting current trends in collectible design. Both new and seasoned collectors can find contemporary designs from Cristina Grajales Gallery alongside postwar French ceramics from Thomas Fritsch-Artrium in the 55,000-square-foot space. Newcomers this year include WonderGlass, Peter Blake Gallery and Charles Burnand. thesalonny.com

9 a.m. One of my first stops is Farrow & Ball (above). I’m constantly there looking over paint samples for clients’ homes. This is one of a few stops I make in the burgeoning Design District. I can easily pop into three or four places within walking distance, such as Waterworks— which has gorgeous tiles and stone for kitchens and baths—and Circa Lighting, to gather a lot of ideas at once. 11 a.m. Greenwich is home to a number of great galleries—I like to see what’s going on in the art world because I love to place art in clients’ homes and I want to be up-todate on current trends. My favorites are Weber Fine Art, Samuel Owen Gallery and Isabella Garrucho Fine Art. 12 p.m. I make a quick stop into MéliMélo, a French-inspired cafe with great salads. I like it because it’s fast and I’m always on the run. 1 p.m. Heading to work, I stop at Rogers & Goffigon, a trade showroom that’s essentially a boutique of specialty fabrics. I love their textiles and trims,

100 / LUXESOURCE.COM

of which I’m currently using quite a few on a current project. 2 p.m. I take a detour to Hoagland’s, a gift shop that’s been around since 1937. They have fabulous items and treat their customers to a certain old-world charm. Then I swing by Lynnens on Greenwich Avenue for a wide array of high-end linens—they have a lot of custom items. 4 p.m. I always have to check out the fresh-cut flowers at McArdle’s Florist & Garden Center, a Greenwich staple. I use the beautiful buds in clients’ homes, in photo shoots and in my own home. 5 p.m. Whether I’m meeting a client or just need to end the day with a drink, I’ll go to Gabriele’s of Greenwich if I’m looking for something old-world—or The Spread if I want something a bit more hip. 6 p.m. I often finish the evening at Greenwich Historical Society, where they host lectures and events. They preserve all the history of this city while helping to expand on the history and keep the community vibrant.

GENERAL PAINTS GROUP

MEET the MAKER MARK JUPITER

The beauty of Ireland is so iconic that people who haven’t even visited often recognize it (partly thanks to films such as Braveheart and TV shows like Game of Thrones). General Paints Group, a leading paint manufacturer from the European island, has traversed the company’s homeland to recreate its signature colors and bring them to the United States. Curator, a 144-shade collection—which marks the company’s U.S. debut—is a collaboration of 29 Irish designers and artisans. “These artists are immersed in color on a daily basis; colors that are embedded into their work,” explains Rachel O’Connor, export director for the Curator collection. “While each of these designers works with different mediums, be it fabric, stone or bog oak—which is thousands of years old and holds a beautiful earthy, charcoal tone—they all cited Ireland and their surroundings as their muse. In this collection, they all have a color that means something special to them, that channels their life and art.” And that’s the story of this collection: what it’s like to live, work and create in Ireland. generalpaintsgroup.com

Furniture maker Mark Jupiter has been creating custom pieces from his Dumbo studio for seven years, but his passion for the art runs much deeper. As a fourth-generation craftsperson, Jupiter says furnituremaking is his “love and passion.” Here, he explains his style, how he works with his clients and where he gets inspiration. markjupiter.com

Describe the collaboration process. It begins with really good listening. The first part of the collaboration is discussing who the clients are, what they love and what they don’t love. I feel like everybody has a bit of an artist in them. I take those tidbits and bring them to life in a profound, meaningful way. Where do you find inspiration? The industrial elements of what I do come from the city where I live and the shapes of the architecture where the furniture will live.

Alexandra Mor to Lead Protagonist Exhibition at Salon Art + Design By Paul Goldbold

As a leader in the field of fine jewellery design and production, Alexandra Mor’s limited-edition and one-of-a-kind collections are sought out by collectors the world over. Acknowledging the weight of her role as a leader in her industry, Alexandra Mor has consistently used conflict-free fine gems in her designs.

https://www.luxuriousmagazine.com/alexandra-mor-salon-art-design/


In recent years, she has taken this practice further and evolved her role as an advocate for sustainability and mindful design. She has embraced her motto, ‘Designers Are the New Activists’ as a mission to educate others about the benefits of low impact practices and effectively rebrand sustainable materials in the field of fine jewellery. Alexandra Mor’s jewellery embraces mindful design. Unveiled in 2017, her Journey’s collection featuring the tagua seed spurred interest from fellow leaders in the field of Haute jewellery. She was named Creative Director of Vogue Italia’s annual Protagonist Exhibition and has since grown the event year over year, bringing together likeminded designers, artists, brands and collectors who believe in the ability of fine jewellery to make positive contributions to the fields of sustainability and preservation.

For the 2019 edition of the Protagonist held at the Salon of Art + Design on Park Avenue Armory, November 14-18, Alexandra presents a curated selection of her work from past and current partnerships that embrace exceptional craftsmanship and fair, low-impact practices. Through her work in public speaking and events, she has inspired her field and affected real, positive change in the movement towards mindful design. She is the recipient of several awards honouring her efforts in the sustainable luxury field. Alexandra Mor’s path to embracing mindful design began when she felt the need for a creative boost. After six years of managing her brand in New York City, Alexandra took a leap and moved to the island of Bali with her family.

https://www.luxuriousmagazine.com/alexandra-mor-salon-art-design/


It was in Bali that she found the space to focus on new ideas centred around the preservation and celebration of the natural world and its rich cultures of people. Enlisting the work of traditional Balinese carvers and fine metal artisans, Mor created her tagua seed capsule collection with the goal to elevate the tagua seed as a luxury material and effective replacement for elephant ivory. As Mor continued to learn about the horrors of elephant poaching and illegal harvesting of ivory, her discovery of the tagua seed was an obvious choice to contribute her talents toward a very worthy cause. About Salon Art + Design Salon Art + Design returns for its eighth edition at the Park Avenue Armory in New York City from November 14 – 18, 2019. Presenting the world’s best design – vintage, modern and contemporary – enhanced by blue-chip 20th century and contemporary art, Salon will feature 56 leading art and design galleries (from 14 different countries), spotlighting the trends of collectable design.

Enduring Appeal

DESIGN / ​THE US Enduring appeal The word from the design world’s trade-fair circuit this year is that the calendar has become too crowded. But one aspect of the industry we’re pleased to see grow is collectible design. Geared towards those investing in a piece of furniture for the long term – and not discarding it when the next “trend” emerges – events such as New York’s Salon Art + Design, which kicked off yesterday at Park Avenue Armory and runs until Monday, emphasise quality in their curation. High-end pieces from exhibitors including London’s Gallery Fumi and Barcelona’s Side Gallery will showcase work that straddles the border of art and design, highlighting craftsmanship, creativity and provenance while doing so. We hope that these principles will seep into the dialogue at larger design fairs, where “latest and greatest” sadly tends to trump “made to last”.

Both young and seasoned collectors approach the creative design market, seeking the new, the uncommon, and the accessible. The material offered at Salon ranges from periods that have now become classic: Bauhaus, Art Deco and mid-century design coexisting happily with work by young and established contemporary makers.

Stars flock, talk turkey at ‘The Inheritance’ on Broadway By Cindy Adams

From left: Tina Fey and Jeff Richmond, Jimmy Fallon and Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick Getty Ethel Barrymore Theatre. Broadway’s newest opening. “The Inheritance.” A two-part, seven-hour triumph. Writer, talented Matthew Lopez. Director, multibrilliant Stephen Daldry. The AIDSrelated story brought out more stars than the Planetarium. Cold, windy night. Easy, pleasant Jimmy Fallon — no coat, sweater, gloves, boots — stood outside hello-ing even strangers walking by. Then: “It’s the only reason I come to the theater — to catch people for my show.” So about Thanksgiving? “I’m in the parade. On an Entenmann’s float. I’m a dancing doughnut.”

https://pagesix.com/2019/11/18/stars-flock-talk-turkey-at-the-inheritance-on-broadway/


Andy Cohen. Spit-shined shoes. Gray flannel jacket. Matching pants. Coordinated coat. Black shirt and tie. Looking better than his crappy “Housewives of New York.” So, Thanksgiving? “St. Louis, my hometown. First time my son’s meeting the family.” Glenn Close: “Inviting people I love. I’m going to cook. This holiday’s my favorite. [Forget going] straight from Halloween to Christmas, what’s great about this is people can’t monetize it like they do Christmas. It’s just simply everybody eats.” Tina Fey: “Going to Philly to be with my mother and brother. But I don’t cook.” Pointing to husband Jeff Richmond, she said: “He does the cooking.” Said Jeff: “This time I’m not.” Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick. He said they’d do the regulation turkey. She said she’d work on doing the sides. The VIP list misspelled Victor Garber. His handsome photo read “Victor Gaber.” Anyhow, I didn’t see him. Being I was freezing, I ran inside. Fallon was still hugging people. “The Inheritance” is brilliant. Please try to pay attention Park Avenue Armory’s eighth annual Art + Design show. Before the 3 p.m. press preview, 4 p.m. VIP preview and 5 p.m. vernissage preview, David Geffen got his own lone superprivate tour. Wealth equals stealth … “Fiddler on the Roof” Yiddish-style has been booked in Sydney … A film called “Knives Out” is coming. To make everyone happy and feel friendly, Jamie Lee Curtis handed the whole cast silver spoons. Prince or pea Now, about handy dandy Prince Andy’s sex candy. News he doesn’t sweat means he’s also randy. But who knew he’s also stupid? Besides him, there’s Harry, who once wore a swastika and now runs around with that prize-winning wife they’ll sideline in Africa. The queen needs a fix-it and not just for Brexit. Priority check People are starving, dying, homeless, addicted. The elderly can’t afford medication, the young are committing suicide, the underemployed can’t afford health care, businesses closing, inner cities decaying, colleges indebting our youth, diseases rampant, the world exploding. There are fires, hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, wars, starvation. Humanity’s sick, hungry, aging, murdered. No funds to help in catastrophes — and Pelousy and her robbin’ hoods are blowing millions on their hate. In 1866, Mark Twain wrote: “No man’s life, liberty or property is safe while the legislature is in session.” Winston Churchill — I don’t know when he said it, I wasn’t there at the time — but he said: “The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings. The inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries.” He: “It’s coming Thanksgiving. Let’s even be grateful for all the little things.” She: “Like what?” He: “Like my lifetime pension lasting out the week.” Only in New York, kids, only in New York.

Magical Thinking at the Park Avenue Armory Eight years in, the Salon Art + Design continues to bewitch, dazzle, and sometimes bewilder visitors. By Wendy Goodman

Photo: Courtesy of David Gill Gallery This past week, the Park Avenue Armory held the eighth iteration of the Salon Art + Design, a yearly event that features the best offerings from 56 galleries from across the globe, all of which specialize in a type of art-slash-design that might be best described as “function follows form.” One of the first installations that caught my eye as I entered the vast Wade Thompson Drill Hall was David Gill’s; I was then quickly drawn, like a moth to a flame, to AMeBE Studio’s remarkable “Cupola” chandelier (seen here), a mini-replica of the dome of Rome’s St. Peter’s Basilica. Designers Alessandra Mantovani and Eleonora Barbareschi originally created the piece for the 2016 Milan Furniture Fair. https://www.thecut.com/2019/11/salon-art-design-park-avenue-armory.html


Katie Stout’s Unique Table Lamps. Photo: Courtesy of R & Company Nearby, I spied the work of one of my favorite designers, Katie Stout, alongside some incredible new pieces, displayed by R+Company, from the Haas Brothers (not shown here). Stout is creating her own unique design language that is playful, imaginative, and steadily more sophisticated. Her painted ceramic Unique Table Lamps are elegant without a whiff of pretension. Friedman Benda featured Chris Schanck’s “Oubliette,” a hanging wall-cabinet made with wood, polystyrene, resin, leather, and the magic ingredient, aluminum foil. At first glance, the piece brought to mind Paul Evans’s brutalist furniture from the ’60s, but as I got closer, the silver surfaced, creating an unexpected delicateness.

Well, this was a trip. A photograph doesn’t do justice to the kinetic qualities of multimedia artist Anthony James’s “Icosahedron,” pictured above, from Opera Gallery Miami. When you look at it up close, it feels like you’re staring into infinity. Liz O’Brien holds a special place in the design world — her pieces speak to a time of mannered elegance (think Frances Elkins, Cecil Beaton, and Jean-Michel Frank). I first discovered the work of Line Vautrin through Liz — and when I asked her about the fireplace in her exhibition space, I learned about another artist I’d never heard of. “The terrazzo panels are by Esther Bruton of San Francisco,” said Liz. “She and her two sisters were well-known artists in the Bay Area, particularly Monterey and Pebble Beach. They came up at auction in Texas, and we asked Stephen Antonson to build a surround so we could exhibit them — I think he knocked it out of the park.” The chestnuthued carpet, “Carnation Tapestry Weave,” is by Märta Måås-Fjetterström, and the pair of upholstered armchairs are by Ernest Boiceau.

Michael Eden’s 3-D-printed tureens. Photo: Wendy Goodman 3-D printing has taken off in all sorts of ways, but I still marvel at the potential the medium has to express artisanal intricacy, like with Michael Eden’s wonderful 3-D-printed tureens at Adrian Sassoon.

https://www.thecut.com/2019/11/salon-art-design-park-avenue-armory.html


Patrick Parrish’s installation, which displayed the work of Austrian modernist Carl Auböck on a lone plaster counter, felt like palette cleanser. “I have been exploring the plaster pedestal/plinths for displaying the works of Aubock for a few years now,” Patrick told me. “This is the third time. The first two times they were free floating; this time I had them come out of the wall. My ‘shape’ inspiration [for this display] comes from the work of Hans Arp, as well as biomorphic forms of sand traps.”

Ronald Rael’s pottery. Photo: Courtesy of Cristina Grajales Cristina Grajales gleefully showed me a brand-new discovery: the 3-D ceramic-printed pottery of artist Ronald Rael, who worked closely with 3-D-printing expert Virginia San Fratello. They were made with natural micaceous clay from the Manzano Mountains of New Mexico, making Rael and San Fratello among the first artists ever to use wild harvested clay to produce ceramic work with a 3-D printer.

https://www.thecut.com/2019/11/salon-art-design-park-avenue-armory.html


Mathieu Lehanneur’s installation. Photo: Leandro Viana/Courtesy of Mathieu Lehanneur With his installation “Soldier’s Retreat,” Mathieu Lehanneur wanted to create a “mental and physical refuge for a soldier.” Inside was the “Cloud Couch,” a green marble console, and an astonishing marble table (from Lehaunner’s collection “Inverted Gravity”), which appears to float on glass orbs. “Appearances can mislead and our perceptions tend to lie to us,” he said of the piece. “What seems massive may be lighter than it seems!” https://www.thecut.com/2019/11/salon-art-design-park-avenue-armory.html

ROY LICHTENSTEIN:

FINE LINES

Now on view at the Whitney Museum of American Art, “Order and Ornament: Roy Lichtenstein’s Entablatures” explores some of the artist’s lesser-known work from the early 1970s. Inspired by building façades throughout Lower Manhattan, Lichtenstein “pushed beyond the conventions of Pop by focusing Roy on pattern and repetition,” says curatorial Lichtenstein fellow David Crane, who organized the show. “In looking at both actual architectural features and his own photographs, he developed new strategies for translating entablatures into drawings and prints, demonstrating a unique emphasis on texture, relief, and reflectivity.” 99 Gansevoort St., NYC; for more information, call 212-570-3600 or go to whitney.org. —C. S.

Manhattan is always chock-full of exciting art and design happenings, particularly during the next several weeks. At Demisch Danant (30 W. 12th St.), more than 30 new lamps by Belgian accessories designer Jos Devriendt are on view from October 28 to December 14. Through November 5, Les Ateliers Courbet (134 Tenth Ave.) presents “Archaeos,” an exhibition of textured ceramic vessels by Manhattan-based multidisciplinary artist Peter Speliopoulos. At Twenty First Gallery (76 Franklin St.), “Evolution” features sculptural furnishings by Francebased Erwan Boulloud through November 15. And the fall edition of TEFAF is returning to the Park Avenue Armory (643 Park Ave.) from November 1 to 5, with 90 vendors selling fine art, antiques, and more. From November 14 to 18, the armory will switch gears to host the eighth annual Salon Art + Design, a showcase of spectacular holdings from 56 galleries around the world, including New York–based Friedman Benda, which is displaying Detroit designer Chris Schanck’s Puff and Stuff chairs (ABOVE). —Caitlin St John

I. M. PEI AND THE ART WORLD Between November 12 and November 14, 30 pieces from late architect I. M. Pei’s personal art collection—acquired with his wife, Eileen, over the course of 72 years—will go on the auction block at Christie’s New York. Included among the lots are paintings by Franz Kline and Barnett Newman Eileen and and sculpture by Jacques Lipchitz (FAR LEFT TO NEAR LEFT). I. M. Pei “The Peis had a broad curiosity about the world,” says Johanna Flaum, Christie’s senior vice president of postwar and contemporary art, “and their collection includes work by some of the most creative talents of the latter half of the 20th century.” 20 Rockefeller Plaza, NYC; for more information, call 212-636-2000 or go to christies.com. —C.

The Only Design & Art Fair You Can’t Miss This Fall

Robb Recommends: If You’re in New York This Weekend, Don’t Miss the Salon Art + Design Show Calling all culture vultures. By Helena Madden

The eighth edition of Salon Art + Design will descend upon New York City this month, bringing with it 56 galleries’ worth of vintage and contemporary works. Our first stop? Frida Fjellman’s “Crystal Atmosphere,” a site-specific exhibition that’s a veritable forest of the designer’s prismatic lights. Each of the nearly 35 multicolored prisms will be linked to one or more of its brethren to surround the viewer, their bulbs flickering as if the light were being passed from one to the other. “Walking among them, one gets the feeling that they’re small,” says Fjellman. “As if they are a child again.” The Swedish creative’s immersive work—plus that of many other luminaries—will be on view from November 14 to 18 at the Park Avenue Armory.

residence this year, characterized by a pudgy silhouette, curved edges and tubular appendages. Who’s to thank for the big new trend? Faye Toogood and her “Roly-Poly” chair (2014) for one, and Pierre Yovanovitch’s “Papa Bear” armchair (2017) for another—both of which have witnessed overwhelming success since their sketchings. Fine and great for a showcase or two, but how in blazes does one place these in a living room without risking comparison to Pee-wee’s Playhouse? Funnily enough, aesthetic nirvana hinges on a happy marriage with minimalist work, and Justin Donnelly of design duo Jumbo cautions against filling the entire room with “bright, overstuffed, glossy” items. “I pair sculptural furniture with thin-diameter steel pieces in my own home,” he says. “They play really well in the sandbox together.” Here, a few of our chunkier favorites—consider clipping one or two for your next redesign, rather than all four at once.

PAD London y The Salon Art+Design By Jose María Faerna

Console Borderline. Hervé van der Straeten Aclaremos algo. La un tanto cansina etiqueta art design denomina un nicho, no una práctica. El one off y la edición limitada son tan antiguos como el diseño industrial, en cuyos márgenes acamparon como un reguero de chispas que buscaban encender procesos enteros de diseño. Véanse, por ejemplo, los inicios de Ron Arad. El art design es más bien un reguero de galerías que roturan un campo de mercado nuevo y muy sustancioso para algunos diseñadores que, a menudo, incendian un bosque con tal de cazar al vuelo chispas oportunamente convertibles en divisas. Ese fenómeno impulsa la emergencia de foros como Pad London, secuela otoñal en Mayfair del Frieze londinense, que rebañan yacimientos abiertos en la escena del diseño actual como la nueva lectura que la disciplina viene haciendo del legado de la artesanía. https://www.roomdiseno.com/pad-london-y-the-salon-art-design/


Made of Brick. Gregor Jenkin Studio. Southern Guild Gallery Valgan seis botones como muestras de la última edición. Zaha Hadid frecuentó estas prácticas hasta principios de siglo para testar sus experimentos formales en el cruce de la geometría y el organismo, cuando aún no encontraba clientes para ellos en la escala arquitectónica. De 2007 data Stardune, que forma parte de un paisaje de dunas realizado para la Bienal de Venecia de ese año y marcó el inicio de su colaboración con la galería de David Gill.

https://www.roomdiseno.com/pad-london-y-the-salon-art-design/


Aristas Console. Garrido Gallery Madrid El joven británico Alex Hull traslada al bronce forjado a mano, con ayuda del artesano Andrew Langley, el trazo gráfico de una rúbrica sobre papel que configura una silla, algo que ya hicieron las suecas de Front con más enjundia traduciendo materialmente con herramientas digitales su trazo inmediato y performativo en el aire. También Claes Oldenburg exploró los cambios de escala del objeto convertido en escultura, en cuya estela navega la consola lacada con tecnología automotriz del francés Maurice Marty. Como Memphis ya dejó trazadas las contaminaciones figurativas que el sudafricano Gregor Jenkin ensaya en ladrillos de chapa galvanizada. Los españoles Juan y Paloma Garrido, que buscan nuevos territorios para la afinada tradición platera de su familia, y Hervé van der Straeten, moderna encarnación de los chispeantes artistes décorateurs del París de otros tiempos, son quienes más atentamente enfrentan las intersecciones de tecnología y artesanía. Solo queda preguntarse, con modales duchampianos: ¿Y bien?

The Breakout Year of Ini Archibong Embracing the tenets of spirituality and mysticism, Switzerland-based designer Ini Archibong is bringing beauty back into the design lexicon. By Jorge S. Arango

This orientation infuses a palpable dimension into Archibong’s work that has proved irresistible to a diverse roster of luxury clients, including Hermès (the “Galop” watch), Knoll (contract furnishings), Sé Collections (the 22-piece “Below the Heavens” range of furniture and lighting), Dario Pegoretti (“We’re going to make a cool steel-frame road bike”), Bernhardt (“one of our bestselling training tables, and by far the most elegant,” Helling says), and Vacheron Constantin (“a hand-sculpted, cast-aluminum table mirror based on the passage of time”). He has also been developing new work with the Chelsea gallery Friedman Benda after a fruitful collaboration with owner Marc Benda yielded the unique Vernus chandelier Friedman Benda gallery sold at last November’s Salon Art + Design in New York. Archibong is also conjuring an immersive art installation for a group exhibition that opens November 10th at the Dallas Museum of Art (through March 22nd). The multimedia show, “speechless: different by design,” is co-produced with the High Museum in Atlanta, which will host the exhibition April 25th through September 6th of 2020. It showcases a group of site-specific pieces by artists such as Matt Checkowski, Misha Kahn, and Laurie Haycock Makela that, says curator Sarah Schleuning, “use different sensory experiences to communicate,” rather than relying solely on the verbal. The son of Nigerian immigrants, the tall, lanky, 36-year-old Archibong grew up outside of Los Angeles hungrily absorbing the hip-hop culture of the city. After scrapping business school and becoming a musician, then pursuing a career in architecture, he eventually enrolled, at 24, in the environmental design program at the ArtCenter College of Design in Pasadena. “I saw the space in architecture as the backbone to people’s experiences,” he says. “It has a real effect on people’s state of mind, spiritual well-being, and their overall energy. I think the first time I started picking up on that was when I got into reading about Gothic cathedrals and the methods through which they allowed people to be in the position for their souls to become transcendent or elevated, or raise our consciousness through the use of light and the feeling of weightlessness. By the time I got down to the skill of furniture, I realized the role of furniture is setting how you navigate space, and it also carries an energy in a way: It holds and reflects light, and its volume and your volume in relation to it.” As a junior Archibong caught the eye of Helling, who was teaching an interdisciplinary studio course sponsored by Bernhardt. “It was a rather rigid design brief—commercial folding tables,” Helling recalls, “probably not the most glamorous. He was the obvious standout, but he was creating these amazing things that were way off the design brief.” Helling didn’t move his student’s studio pieces into production, but he did encourage the budding designer, telling him, “Remember something you designed and threw in the trash a few weeks ago and work on that.” Bernhardt awarded Archibong Student Designer of the Year Award as part of the American Design Honors in 2010 at the International Contemporary Furniture Fair in 2010. In 2011, a year after the course, the student project—a collaboration with fellow designers John Phillips and Stephanie Stalker— became the Serif table, which the company showed at ICFF as part of Bernhardt Studio in conjunction with Art Center College of Design, giving the designer global exposure to manufacturers, retailers, and media. Archibong spent time in Singapore working with Tim Kobe, the genius behind the Apple store concept, then continued his studies at L’École cantonale d’art de Lausanne in Switzerland. He eventually settled in Neuchâtel. Actor and designer Terry Crews then sponsored his “Secret Garden” collection of furnishings at the 2016 Salone Satellite, the emerging talent exhibition of Salone del Mobile in Milan. He’s been on an upward trajectory ever since.

For the Friedman Benda collaborations, says Marc Benda, one of those facets—Archibong’s background in street culture—was of particular interest. “Street culture today is a very different thing from 20 years ago. It’s completely supplanted high culture. You can wear a hoodie and be very well dressed, or buy a pair of sneakers as a status symbol. It’s not gritty anymore. It’s acquired a very high polish,” he says, noting Archibong’s high commitment to quality. “It retains a sensuality. I pushed him to show up in a different way, to strip his soul bare. It’s not just line, a material, or an aesthetic. You infuse all of yourself into that work.” The result, even when it’s less rounded and curvaceous, and more angular (as with three new sculptural Friedman Benda pieces targeted for a fall or winter debut) is unapologetically beautiful. To use Schjeldahl’s analogy, it “halts the flow” of feelings, changing their direction. Archibong’s work is a compelling argument for the revival of beauty in design. It’s high time. As Schjeldahl concludes, “There is something crazy about a culture in which the value of beauty becomes controversial. It is crazy not to celebrate whatever reconciles us to life.”

These 3D-Printed Vessels Create Their Own Fluid Universe Audrey Large’s amorphous objects may look alien, but are very much rooted in the world at large. By Ryan Waddoups

Photography by Pim Top Audrey Large’s amorphous, liquid-like vessels may initially come off as otherworldly pottery collected by an “alien” species—but they aren’t intended as such. The 25-year-old product designer, a recent Design Academy Eindhoven graduate, avoids ascribing meaning to her researchfocused Implicit Surfaces series, which is spontaneously hand-sketched using a graphic tablet and 3D printed to a shimmering, iridescent effect. Delve beneath the surface, she encourages, to instead find “reflections on ‘now,’ in terms of practice, codes, and techniques.” https://www.surfacemag.com/articles/audrey-large-nilufar-salon-art-design/


Large’s work defies categorization, existing within a fluid universe of its own hybrid materiality. Her interdisciplinary practice, ensconced somewhere between digital cinema and product design, blurs the lines between a physical object and its weightless visual representation. An image-maker at heart, she posits head-spinning theories about perception: “Instead of accepting objects as reality, why not think of them as visual effects of reality?” Ahead of Salon Art + Design at New York City’s Park Avenue Armory, where Nilufar Gallery will present Implicit Surfaces from Nov. 14–18, Large chats about the unexpected gray areas between cinema and design, and whether or not 3D printing can change the world.

Photography by Pim Top These objects involve an intricate creation process. How did you land on this? I studied product design at the Design Academy Eindhoven, but always worked with images. I bridge the two disciplines by envisioning objects as digital images—I design an image’s materiality and then figure out how it can be translated from digital to material. That’s where 3D printing comes in. In my downtime, I read cinema theory with the eyes of a product designer. The frontier between these two disciplines is so blurred. Now, objects are made to produce images, which influence how we relate to our surroundings. Instead of viewing this as a dichotomy, we should rethink how we make objects because we’re also making images. My thesis examined visual effects in movies— not cinema as capturing reality, but manipulating reality. When we see blockbuster films, we enter a strange room and accept its narrative as reality within that time and space. I apply this mode of thinking to objects: Instead of accepting objects as reality, why not think of them as visual effects of reality?

https://www.surfacemag.com/articles/audrey-large-nilufar-salon-art-design/


How does social media factor into this equation? My work reflects our surroundings. I reinject images of the world into what I make, and Instagram is definitely part of my research. I actually learned everything through YouTube tutorials, so technically speaking I didn’t even learn 3D modeling at school. I often ruminate on making objects for use in everyday life. I’m not inventing anything new— everything is already here! People ask me about my perspective on the future, but I’m just making things that represent the now.

A Designer’s Satisfying, Adaptable Year-Round Salad Gabriel Hendifar of the New York lighting and design studio Apparatus describes himself as an “assembler” — perfect for working with fresh vegetables. By Nick Marino

Gabriel Hendifar, pictured at home in Manhattan, grew up eating Persian food — which explains the herbs in his salad. “Some of my earliest memories of my grandmother,” he says, “are of her cooking a dish called ghormeh sabzi, which is an entire dining table full of fresh parsley.”

Gabriel Hendifar, pictured at home in Manhattan, grew up eating Persian food — which explains the herbs in his salad. “Some of my earliest memories of my grandmother,” he says, “are of her cooking a dish called ghormeh sabzi, which is an entire dining table full of fresh parsley.”

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/14/t-magazine/gabriel-hendifar-salad-recipe.html


In One Good Meal, we ask cooking-inclined creative people to share the story behind a favorite dish they actually make and eat at home on a regular basis — and not just when they’re trying to impress. Like a lot of couples, Gabriel Hendifar and Jeremy Anderson — the co-founders of the New York lighting and design studio Apparatus — have distinct roles in the kitchen. “He’s the baker,” Hendifar says of his partner, “the one who roasts and cooks things that require a lot more planning. I’m more of an assembler.” Being an assembler comes in handy, though, when making a salad. Over the years, Hendifar, 38, has developed a flexible recipe that works any time of day, at any scale, with any number of variations. If it’s beet season, they go in. In the summer, corn does. He can make it at the couple’s apartment north of Union Square or at their weekend house upstate, padding around the kitchen in socked feet with Anderson, 44, while Chet Baker plays on the stereo. “Salads are my thing,” Hendifar says. “I’ve had a love affair with butter lettuce, but I’ve found it doesn’t always support heavier ingredients.” So for the dish below, which includes beans and tomatoes, he replaces the lettuce with hardier pea shoots that form a kind of green nest. The result is a meal that’s both sculptural and functional — just like one of Apparatus’s pieces. With help from more than 60 employees, Hendifar’s work blends the architectural and the emotional: He tends to present his furniture and design objects with a sense of drama; each collection of late has been known as an “act.” This week, the studio is showing at the Salon Art & Design fair in New York, unveiling a series of limited-edition cabinets, sconces, ceiling pendants, torchiers and a sectional coffee table. Much of the work involves the interplay of intricate embroidery with metal. “A wise person once told me embroidery is the physical manifestation of time,” Hendifar says. “That became the guiding manifesto of the collection.”

The composed salad is clean, energizing and — with the eggs — suitable for breakfast.

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/14/t-magazine/gabriel-hendifar-salad-recipe.html


Gabriel’s Pea Shoot Salad Serves 4 For the salad 2 bunches pea shoots, using just the top couple of inches with the small leaves 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped 1 can cannellini beans (16 oz.) 4 to 8 eggs, soft boiled until yolk is just slightly runny (about seven and a half minutes) 8 oz. cherry tomatoes, sliced thinly into rounds 3 radishes, thinly sliced on a mandoline For the dressing ½ cup fresh parsley, coarsely chopped 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped ⅓ cup finely grated Parmesan, divided 6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided 2 ½ tablespoons golden balsamic vinegar, divided Pepper and flaky salt to taste

Though this salad is mostly savory, the golden balsamic supplies a touch of sweetness. “When you’ve made it right, it’s really well balanced,” Hendifar says. “It engages all the points of your tongue.”

Though this salad is mostly savory, the golden balsamic supplies a touch of sweetness. “When you’ve made it right, it’s really well balanced,” Hendifar says. “It engages all the points of your tongue.” 1. In a large bowl, mix the pea shoots with half of the dressing ingredients. Make sure the greens are well coated, then divide among 4 serving bowls. 2. In the original bowl, mix the tomatoes, beans, radishes, dill, parsley and the other half of the dressing ingredients (reserving a pinch of parsley for garnish). 3. Arrange the dressed ingredients on top of the greens in the serving bowls, leaving a divot in the middle to create a nest for the eggs. 4. Peel the eggs and place gently on the salad, one or two per bowl, sliced in half. Season eggs with salt and pepper. Finish with the extra parsley and another shower of Parmesan.

New York gallery fair Salon Art + Design seeks to attract a younger audience By Adrian Madelener

Stardust series by Pia Maria Raeder, Galerie BSL (Courtesy the gallery) Taking over New York‘s Park Avenue Armory for its eighth edition this November, prestigious gallery fair Salon Art + Design is seeking to draw in a younger collector base. Though exhibiting galleries have been charged with presenting more affordable pieces, this year’s offering of both vintage and contemporary wares promises to elate all tastes.

https://archpaper.com/2019/11/salon-art-design-seeks-to-attract-a-younger-audience/


A far more restrained and arguably refined offering than other somewhat boisterous gallery fairs that dot the annual calendar, the Salon Art + Design (November 14 to 18) brings together a highly select group of 56 collectible and vintage design galleries from around the world. Taking center stage this year are Paris’s Galerie BSL—presenting Pia Maria Raeder’s wonderfully ornate yet organically-formed Stardust benches and mirrors—newcomer WonderGlass—the independent practice’s Venetian-inspired glass sculptures—and Cologne’s ammann// gallery—showing new large-scale prints by famed Swiss architecture photographer Hélène Binet. New exhibitors this year include galleries from Russia, Brazil, and Lebanon. Objects range from an ancient bust circa 1000 BC to the newest trends including work made from a 3D printer. Other notable exhibitors will include Demisch Danant, Friedman Benda, Gallery FUMI, The Future Perfect, David Gill Gallery, Giustini / Stagetti, Cristina Grajales Gallery, Heller Gallery, J. Lohmann Gallery, Maison Gerard, Todd Merrill Studio, Sarah Myerscough Gallery, Nilufar Gallery, Patrick Parrish Gallery, Priveekollektie, Adrian Sassoon, Twenty First Gallery, and more.

MAY 1, 2019

The Salon Art + Design by Judith Gura VISITORS TO THE Salon Art + Design, in New York last November left the show with two distinct impressions: first, that the market for limited-edition art furniture is alive and well; and second, that the more provocative the design, the likelier it is to attract attention – and collectors. Although the Salon covers a broader scope than most fairs – combining styles and genres and including dealers of painting and sculpture, ancient art, furniture, ceramics and glass – the majority of the 57 exhibitors at the Park Avenue Armory were featuring furniture. And of those, almost half spotlighted works that were emphatically, even aggressively, unconventional.

Not only were the designs inventive, but most were 21st century, the newer the better. The preponderance of fresh-out-of-the-studio work, not all of it equally admirable, suggests that dealers are catering to the demands of moneyed clients looking for objects that nobody else owns, or indeed has ever seen. For novice collectors seeking the cachet of owning unique works — and ownership doesn’t come cheap — novelty, it would seem, sometimes takes priority over design merit.

Galerie Kreo, Salon Art and Design 2018 COURTESY: Peter Baker Many of the noteworthy pieces elicited smiles as well as astonishment, a welcome reminder that design needn’t always be serious. As Joseph Giovannini noted in his New York Times wrapup, this Salon delivered “a high delight quotient”. Along with the expected hand-crafted pieces were many made with digital technology, as designers add computerised equipment to their stock of tools. Regardless of the fabrication process, however, design is definitely getting more expensive. Major pieces of limited-edition furniture at Salon ranged from high five to six-figure prices (in dollars), although art collectors accustomed to the stratospheric cost of paintings and sculpture will still find design objects relative bargains.

Fredrikson Stallard, Coffee Table ‘Gravity (Round)’, 2015 COURTESY: David Gill Gallery AMONG THE STANDOUTS at the show: a swoopy, hand-carved bleached-maple armchair by Gildas Berthelot at Galerie BSL; a crystalline acrylic coffee table by Fredrikson Stallard at David Gill Gallery; a bold bronze-and-rock table by Misha Kahn at Friedman Benda; and a twisty-legged software-programmed maple console by Mathias Bengtsson at Galerie Maria Wettergren. Barberini & Gunnell’s bubble-cluster steel lounge stood out at Priveekollektie, and Sarah Myerscough featured striking wood pieces by Joseph Walsh. Among those galleries whose booths focused on 21st century design were Amman Gallery, R & Company, Galerie Kreo, Maison Gerard and Gallery Fumi. At Wexler Gallery however, an eight-foot-long dining table and chairs from 1980 by recently-deceased Wendell Castle was the star attraction.

https://thedesignedit.com/market/the-salon-art-design/


Wendell Castle, ‘Dining Table and Chairs’, 1980 COURTESY: Wexler Gallery The dearth of historical material was, according to knowledgeable dealers, in part because desirable pieces are increasingly hard to find – most are already held in private collections and museums. Mid-century modern and Scandinavian pieces are still being sold, but the categories are no longer making news, nor are even Art Deco, or mid-century French stars Corbusier/Perriand/Prouvé – and design shows are all about news. Significantly absent from Salon was work by éminences gris Ron Arad and Marc Newson, or media darlings like Studio Job, Joris Laarman or Maarten Baas. This is not an indication of waning interest, but new work takes time to produce and most work by marquee-name contemporary designers is either sitting in collections, or being accumulated for one-man shows.

https://thedesignedit.com/market/the-salon-art-design/


R & Company, Salon Art and Design 2018 COURTESY: Peter Baker Some exhibitors bucked the trend to contemporary design, staying with 20th century classics. Stalwarts like Moderne, with Nakashima, Vallois with French Art Deco, and Scandinavian specialists Modernity and Dansk Mobelkunst kept their focus with fine presentations. Bernard Goldberg showcased Frank Lloyd Wright furniture and Yves Macaux featured Wiener Werkstätteera designs. But from all indications, the market is moving towards current work, with the unexpected supplanting the familiar.

https://thedesignedit.com/market/the-salon-art-design/


Mathias Bengtsson, “Growth Table Maple”, 2017 COURTESY: Galerie Maria Wettergren This reflects the fact that artists (the term designer scarcely applies to this category any longer) are pushing the proverbial envelope to express themselves in new forms, unusual combinations of materials, and untried methods of fabrication. Their efforts are creditable, though it remains to be seen whether all of the novelties will survive. Nonetheless, many of these unconventional works seem well suited to the informality of contemporary life – even the most transgressive of them lack the “don’t touch me” air of the formal period styles that were once obligatory furniture in affluent homes.

https://thedesignedit.com/market/the-salon-art-design/


Gallery FUMI, Salon Art and Design 2018 COURTESY: Peter Baker IN FINISHING ITS seventh year, the Salon Art + Design carries the torch lit by Modernism, the first-ever show to focus on contemporary design, which was launched by Sanford Smith in 1985 – the same decade that saw Fifth/50 in New York, Galerie Downtown in Paris and David Gill in London pioneering the market for 20th century design. The market has grown and matured considerably since then, though it remains to be seen how much of this year’s introductions will stand the test of time. Dealers will continue to look for ways to attract attention at shows like Salon, which means we’re likely to see more unconventional, and conservatively-priced designs by unknown artists along with costly pieces by established names. Mirroring the changes in the contemporary art market, the market for collectible design is attracting a younger generation of new collectors who are affluent, but not super-rich, and are more open to fresh ideas. Since most of them appear to be buying for use rather than for speculation, all signs point to a healthy future.

Sanford Smith: founder of niche art and design fairs Judith Gura discovers how his instinct for design and innovative marketing was honed. by Judith Gura SANFORD SMITH LAUGHS at the brass sign on his desk proclaiming him: “The Man, The Myth, The Legend,” but he clearly enjoys the designation. And not without reason. Sandy, as he’s known to everyone in the industry, produces and manages The Salon Art + Design, widely acknowledged as the leading international venue of its kind, drawing thousands of visitors to the New York City’s Park Avenue Armory every November since it began seven years ago.

Sanford Smith https://thedesignedit.com/people/sanford-smith-founder-of-niche-art-and-design-fairs/


That kind of success didn’t come overnight. Now in his 80th year, Smith has spent more than half his life identifying undiscovered market categories, and creating design shows and art fairs to serve them. And the affable entrepreneur has no plans to retire; “I’ve outlived them all,” he says of erstwhile competitors, but admits to taking it a bit easier, “I have three shows now … at one time I was running eleven!” Smith followed a circuitous path to show management. Born and raised in New York City, he majored in economics at the Wharton School, received a Master’s degree in Communications from the University of North Carolina, and then joined the family funeral business. On weekend visits to his in-laws in rural Connecticut, he and his wife would go to auctions, where he bought old furniture and decorative objects. “I could fill up a station wagon with stuff for $25,” he reminisces. When his acquisitions had taken over the garage, he rented space at a weekend flea market in a Manhattan parking lot, and made $50 in his first day. Finding that preferable to the $150 he was earning for a five-day workweek, he became a dealer and participated in various indoor shows around New York for five years – before deciding he could do better by organising a show of his own. In September 1979 Sanford L. Smith & Associates launched the Fall Antiques Show, the first event anywhere devoted exclusively to American antiques. Its debut at the Seventh Regiment Armory (now the Park Avenue Armory) drew long lines of visitors, and inspired a New Yorker magazine cover showing people waiting to get into the show. It moved to Pier 92 on Manhattan’s West Side and became a regular event on collectors’ calendars, ending in 1999, when the market category had changed. While the Fall Antiques Show was still going strong, Smith noticed that dealers were showing 20th century material along with antiques, and decided the time was ripe for a show devoted to modern design. In November 1985, 70-odd exhibitors participated in the premier edition of Modernism, subtitled ‘100 years of Style and Design, 1884-1984’. Like the Fall Antiques Show, it was the first of its kind – there was no other all-contemporary event at the time, in the United States or anywhere else. The mix of furniture and objects shown by dealers included Arts & Crafts, Art Deco, and Aesthetic Movement pieces as well as Wiener Werkstätte, Bauhaus and mid-century design. Each year, the subtitled dates were moved forward, and the mix moved to more contemporary offerings. Modernism ended after 25 years, in 2010, and was succeeded in 2011 by the Pavilion of Art & Design (in partnership with French founders, Stéphane Custot and Patrick Perrin), and in 2012 by The Salon Art + Design, which Smith describes as an outgrowth of Modernism, with broader parameters. The objective was to have a top-level fair featuring the very best of design, from the earliest time to the contemporary era. “There are no restrictions, in category or age,” he explains. He hired Jill Bokor, a former design-magazine publisher as the Salon’s Executive Director, responsible for enlisting exhibitors and curating the show. The Salon generally accommodates about 55 invited dealers, with all offerings vetted by a jury of experts. Although art is included, it is predominantly a design show, and has increasingly skewed towards limited-edition, collectible furniture and objects, shown by a roster of blue-chip galleries from around the world. Smith expects the 2019 edition (November 14-18th), to be better than ever judging by the number of dealers signing up early this year.

VIPs attending the opening preview of New York’s 2018 Salon Art + Design COURTESY: Brandon C Tobin/BFA.com DURING HIS FOUR decades in the business, Smith has organised and managed a variety of other fairs, including Works on Paper, The National Black Fine Art Show, The original AIPAD Photography Fair, The Outsider Art Fair (sold in 2012 and still running), and several antique and art shows. His current roster includes The New York Antiquarian Book Fair (begun in 1979), and the Art Dealers Association of America Art Show (begun in 1985). Of his success in a challenging field, Smith explains, “My one claim to fame is that I saw openings and created shows that hadn’t been done before.” His instincts have met with considerable success. “Every show I’ve ever done has been profitable … even the very first year.” His ammunition includes a good mailing list (“we have the best in the business”), a loyal team (“they do most of the work”), skilled marketing and public relations (“I pay a lot – but it’s worth it”) and a good relationship with the Part Avenue Armory that has ensured a prime location for its shows, in a city with few venues for such events. In addition to managing shows, Smith has also patronised them: “I collect a bit of everything,” he says, starting with the shelves of shooting-gallery decoys that line the walls of his Chelsea townhouse office. “I try to buy at least one thing at every one of my shows. I’m getting money from the exhibitors, so I want to give back to at least one of them.” Among his modern favourites are the enormous U-shaped Paul Evans desk he sits at, and an Ettore Sottsass ‘Carlton’ bookcase at home. There are, Smith says, too many art fairs, but he thinks the market can handle more design events. “I can see similar rivals down the road – if they do it right!” He sees a rosy future for high-end contemporary design. “The younger generation owns antiques only if they inherit them, but the contemporary market is booming. With new materials and new ways of doing things, artists can create things that couldn’t be made before. But success isn’t guaranteed, he cautions, “The key to getting new design accepted is the way it’s marketed.” And Sandy Smith intends to keep doing it the right way.

November Fairs: New York TEFAF and Salon Art + Design: the former reported healthy sales to its loyal core audience, while the latter skewed towards younger collectors and new design. by Judith Gura

TEFAF New York, Fall 2019, Park Avenue Armory COURTESY: TEFAF / PHOTOGRAPH: Mark Niedermann THE PARK AVENUE Armory in New York hosted two important shows in November, providing interesting views of two distinct segments of the collector’s market. The fourth iteration of the prestigious Netherlands-based fine art fair, TEFAF New York (1st-5th November), brought in 90 international dealers, who offered a mouthwatering variety of fine art and antiques.

Ancient Greek and Roman sculpture, antique books and Tiffany lamps shared billing with paintings and graphics, and a number of dealers followed the current museum practice of mixing categories and time periods, in a clear bid to avoid looking out of date. The results, mostly successful, made the beautifully presented show look fresh and appealing, and dealers reported successful sales to its loyal base of collectors that, on observation, skewed towards an older demographic than those attending the second event later in the month.

Following hard on the heels of an up-and-down week of contemporary art sales, the eighth edition of the Salon Art + Design swept in from the 14th– 18th November, a welcome distraction from the impeachment hearings that were dominating television and Twitter. A total of 56 dealers from 13 countries presented Instagram-ready booths filled with a profusion of treasures to a lively audience of collectors and would-be collectors. As in the past several years, the most attention-getting pieces tended to be those not only new to market, but fresh out of studio or workshop. Although unlike most fairs, the Salon offers a mixture of categories and time periods — from ancient art to contemporary design-art, from paintings and sculpture to 20th and 21st century ceramics, glass and furniture — the objects that once more seemed to dominate the show were, if not necessarily the most beautiful, certainly the largest, the shiniest, and the most unusual in form. Happily, some were also original in concept.

Among the most memorable works, dominating the hallway inside the Armory entrance, was Mathieu Lehanneur’s gravity-defying table, in which a slab of marble is supported on a base of hand-blown glass bubbles — a visually striking effect achieved by blowing the glass much thicker than usual, though its translucence makes the marble appear to float on air. Just inside the entrance, Pollaro displayed an 80”-long ebony-and-steel partner’s desk ticketed at $165,000 — probably because the label credited Brad Pitt as designer. A genuine traffic-stopper was an 8-foot-tall suit of armour made of white porcelain, at Priveekollektie, a relative bargain at $75,000.

Gabriel & Guillaume installation view, with José Zanine Caldas ‘Dining Table’, circa 1980 COURTESY: Salon Art + Design / PHOTOGRAPH: Peter Baker Notable more for its uniqueness than any specific design merit was a combination dining-table and billiard table from the 1930s, offered by Maison Gerard for $180,000. At Garrido, a glass-topped console with a strikingly asymmetrical burnished-steel-base would set someone back $85,000. And for David Gill, architect Daniel Libeskind designed a massive bronze table conceived as a landscape, whose two abstract-shaped sections could be rearranged in different configurations … price on request.

Friedman Benda installation view, with Fernando and Humberto Campana ‘Arachnid White Chair’, 2019 COURTESY: Salon Art + Design / PHOTOGRAPH: Peter Baker Others focused on new design included Sarah Myerscough, Todd Merrill, Gallery FUMI, Patrick Parrish and The Future Perfect (whose display was devoted to Reinaldo Sanguino’s painted ceramic furniture). A number of established dealers, however, continued to place their bets on 20th century pieces that made no effort to be artwork, but just reflected excellent design, fine workmanship and function. These included Moderne Gallery (American Studio Crafts), Demisch Danant (1950s-70s French), Magen H (postwar French), Modernity Stockholm (20th century Scandinavian), and Vallois (French Art Deco).

Reinaldo Sanguino at Future Perfect COURTESY: Salon Art + Design / PHOTOGRAPH: Peter Baker Liz O’Brien, Hostler Burrows, Twenty-First Gallery and Cristina Grajales were among others whose well-edited and attractively-displayed offerings were generally less transgressive. This reflects, perhaps, a belief in long-term appeal rather than short-term novelty, though it’s also evidence that New York shows, in general, avoid the beach-party ambience of Design Miami in favour of a more glamorous, low-key mood. (This year, in particular, the mood — and to some degree, sales — were affected by the uncertain political situation and forecasts of a possible economic slowdown).

https://www.antiquesandthearts.com/innovative-style-at-salon-of-art-design/


Cristina Grajales installation view COURTESY: Salon Art + Design / PHOTOGRAPH: Peter Baker Interestingly, many of the hottest names in contemporary design, including Ron Arad, Marc Newson, Joris Laarman, Studio Job and Maarten Baas, were not seen at the show. Nor were auction-house record-breakers Les Lalanne – François-Xavier Lalanne’s unique Hippopotame I’ Bathtub from 1969 had just two days prior to the fair achieved the startling price of $4,335,000, with buyer’s premium, at Christie’s, nearly three times the top estimate of $1,500,000, establishing quite another league of pricing. Also absent were Bauhaus furniture and mid-century American design, both of which seem to have run their course in terms of design-show participation, in part because increasing numbers of these now-classic pieces have been put back into production. That accounts in great part for the rising interest in a new generation of under-40 designers (like the Haas Brothers, Misha Kahn, Chris Wolston and Max Lamb, all of whom had work in the show), and sure-things like Mattia Bonetti, enjoying a second wave of success after his late-20thincarnation as half of Garouste and Bonetti. (A massive traffic-stopper of a table with wroughtiron legs and rare stone top at David Gill sold on opening night for a healthy six-figure price.)

David Gill installation, with Mattia Bonetti ‘Atlantis’ dining table, 2014 COURTESY: Salon Art + Design / PHOTOGRAPH: Peter Baker Sales like that, however, seem to have been the exception this year. One problem that won’t go away is the fact that participation in trade fairs is costly, compelling dealers to show big-ticket items that will help them amortise the expense … but may deter any but the most committed (and free-spending) collectors. Moderate prices won’t pay the cost of coming to the show, especially for dealers travelling from overseas. Judging by comments from several dealers at Salon, that was the case this time around. The displays were beautiful, the atmosphere was congenial and upbeat, but for many exhibitors, there were more wait-and-see potential sales than immediate buyers.

https://www.antiquesandthearts.com/innovative-style-at-salon-of-art-design/


Installation view Salon Art + Design COURTESY: Salon Art + Design / PHOTOGRAPH: Peter Baker As for prices in general, the news is both good and bad: in general, the continued existence of five and six-figure price tags means that the gap between those who can afford the work, and those who can only aspire to own it, is growing ever larger. It’s no longer the case that designs (or artworks) by newly-discovered talents can be snapped up by budding collectors at budget prices, and increase as the designers, and their skills, mature. On the contrary, new discoveries become high-priced headliners early on, attracting cash-rich buyers in search of the next new thing. What does this mean for the market? Most probably that, in a few years, some of the works will be written off like out-of-date fashion. What will stand the test of time? It’s too early to speculate, though some buyers may be doing just that.

Southern Guild Heads to London for the First Time The South African Gallery is Exhibiting 16 South African Sculptors and Designers By Emma-Crichton Miller

South African artists are in focus in London this autumn, with a solo exhibition of the sculptor and painter Mary Sibande at Somerset House in October and the imminent arrival of the Johannesburg-based Goodman Gallery in London’s Cork Street. And PAD London fair is welcoming South Africa’s foremost design gallery, Southern Guild.

https://www.ft.com/content/fd0682ec-d549-11e9-8d46-8def889b4137


Founded in 2008 by Trevyn and Julian McGowan, it is Africa’s only gallery for homegrown collectable design. From its smart space in Cape Town’s Silo district, near the Thomas Heatherwick-designed Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa (MOCAA), the gallery has supported some of the most inventive limited edition and one-off craft and design on the continent.

Since 2011, Southern Guild has exhibited at the Design Miami and Design Miami/Basel fairs, as well as at the Salon Art + Design in New York. It has collaborated with international museums and commercial galleries, and first contributed works to Christie’s annual design auction in London in 2015. This, however, is the gallery’s first formal outing in the UK capital.

“We thought that this was the ideal moment,” Trevyn McGowan says. “As things become so conflicted in the northern hemisphere” she suggests that “people are more open-minded about other cultures.” She adds that Cape Town has seen unparalleled influxes of foreign collectors, dealers and curators over the past two years, drawn by the opening of Zeitz MOCAA, in 2017, and the Norval Foundation, in 2018; these visitors have discovered the city’s well-established galleries and boosted “the global contextualisation of the work”.

For McGowan, “The change is very tangible.” About Southern Guild, in particular, she explains, “For 10 years we have been mentoring, developing, exploring things with over 100 artists, architects and jewellers. Now, we are very clear about our mandate.”

The gallery has 23 artists and 13 with whom they work more loosely; 16 will have work on show with the gallery at PAD London. “[Our artists] produce work that is very personal, very visceral,” McGowan continues. “Everything is handmade. Each object can be plumbed deep.” She cites the Cape Town blacksmith Conrad Hicks’s quirky “Toolmaker’s-Server”, made of hand-hammered cast iron, copper, brass and high-carbon steel — “a very anthropological, experimental work”.

Many of the Southern Guild pieces that will be shown at PAD are new. The South African designer Porky Hefer will show a striking, surreal black, white and red leather bull, which is part of his series of sculptural seating pods. It has a nestlike space for a human to curl up inside the bull’s red mouth. The Kenyan-born sculptor and designer Stanislaw Trzebinski’s spiky, bronze “Archeoflavus Tripartitus (Turin Pattern Coffee Table — Large)”, inspired by exotic sea creatures, will contrast with the sleek, sexy “Nwa-Mulamula” chaise, the first furniture piece created by Rich Mnisi, one of South Africa’s rising talents in the fashion world.

The Cape Town-based artist Justine Mahoney will show her latest bronze figure, “Sleeping Samurai”. It was created, she explains, “to explore that in-between stage between being a child and being an adult”. As a white woman who grew up in a rapidly changing Africa, she draws both on African myths and imagery and on other cultures. The multidisciplinary design company Dokter and Misses, run by husband-and-wife team Adriaan Hugo and Katy Taplin, will show their subtle “Kassena Isibheqe” server, inspired by the adobe structures of the Kassena people of Burkina Faso, but covered in poems written by Johannesburgbased poet, Kgotso Pieter David Maphalla, in the pan-southern African writing system, Isibheqe Sohlamvu. “Johannesburg has always been part of our work,” Taplin says, “and mostly we thrive in this sometimes difficult environment.”

The ceramic artist Andile Dyalvane is known for his terracotta stools, vessels and objects, in inventive forms that recall the animals, people and architecture of the amaXhosa, glazed in striking primary coloured patterns inspired by ritual face painting and body scarification. Born in 1978 in a village in the rural Eastern Cape province, Andile grew up farming. He remembers sliding down the eroded river banks into the muddy river when he was supposed to be herding cattle, and using the clay to make models of his cows. A gift for drawing won him a place at art college in Cape Town, before he gained a National Diploma in Ceramic Design from Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University in Port Elizabeth. “As soon as I touch clay, I have these crazy emotions which take me back to when I was a child,” he says. “But at university I was able also to study deeply the artefacts and objects in museums, which I had not encountered as a child.”

https://www.ft.com/content/fd0682ec-d549-11e9-8d46-8def889b4137


Andile Dyalvane © Justin Patrick

This combination of his powerful connection with his Xhosa culture — which is reflected in the titles of his works — with a studied understanding of ceramic history, offers some explanation for his pots’ expressive vitality. He will be showing a series of four vessels made during a recent residency at the Leach pottery in St Ives, Cornwall. There, he says, he had time to explore the long-held idea of making work directly about those eroded river banks of his childhood, sheer walls of cracked and layered clay. Partly inspired also by the Cornish landscape, with its “enchanting coastal rock formations”, and partly by the red stoneware clay and traditional Tenmoku and Shino glazes used in St Ives, he has produced a series of whirling, cracked and wrapped pots that have a wild, dynamic energy. One piece nearly got away: “As I was making this pot, I had a desired form but the clay and the unfamiliar environment (the cold, the wooden floor) meant I lost control, and it developed these beautiful crags. I was astonished by these movements.” Dyalvane has called it “Umwonyo”, meaning a deep crevice in isiXhosa. While it was born from his memories of Africa, he tells me, “it shows the landscape of Cornwall.”

Salon: Art + Design 2019 Highlights There’s a unique atmosphere at the Salon: Art + Design, which returns to the Park Avenue Armory in New York for its eighth edition this week. Historical and contemporary artworks and objects co-exist in unusual harmony at the fair, perhaps because exhibitors there don’t simply put things on display—they create environments. There’s a sense that you’re visiting a series of open houses rather than dealer booths. “The traditional distinction between art and design fairs is blurred here,” says the Salon’s executive director, Jill Bokor. “It’s an immersive experience. It’s for collectors who want context.” Some highlights from this year’s fair-–sadly, out of context. For that, go to the Salon!

Lalique and Fromental The French crystal maker has partnered with the British wallcovering firm on a special exhibition that showcases a new hand-painted and -embroidered pattern called Hirondelles. The word is French for “swallow,” a bird René Lalique used as a frequent motif. The pattern also incorporates dahlias—another signature Lalique form, which the company has issued this year in gold luster crystal.

Salon Art+Design 2019: Everything You Need To Know

Salon Art+Design returns for its eighth edition at the Park Avenue Armory in New York City from November 14 – 18, 2019. Presenting the world’s best design, vintage, modern and contemporary, enhanced by blue-chip 20th century and contemporary art, the Salon will feature 56 leading art and design galleries, from 14 different countries, spotlighting the trends of collectible design. Join Most Expensive Homes and discover everything you need to know about Salon Art+Design 2019.

https://www.themostexpensivehomes.com/design-events/salon-artdesign-2019-need-know/


Salon Art+Design has differentiated 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 exhibitors are encouraged to create immersive environments mirroring the way we live today. The success of Salon Art+Design lies in the quality of its exhibiting galleries, the extremely international flavor of the material and eclecticism that is highly sought by today’s collectors and tastemakers. https://www.themostexpensivehomes.com/design-events/salon-artdesign-2019-need-know/


Across the board, there’s a great degree of regional diversity in the fair’s expected offerings, with exhibitors hailing from France, Lebanon, Morocco, the Netherlands, Sweden, and many more farflung nations. Brazilian design, which is currently experiencing a prolonged period of popularity, will be better represented than in years prior. And for the first time ever, the fair will include a Barcelona gallery. Both of these points, noted by Bokor, are indicative of the fair’s “ever-widening geography,” as she puts it.

https://www.themostexpensivehomes.com/design-events/salon-artdesign-2019-need-know/


Both young and seasoned collectors approach the design market, seeking the new, the uncommon, and the accessible. The material offered at Salon Art+Design ranges from periods that have now become classic: Bauhaus, Art Deco, and mid-century design coexisting happily with work by young and established contemporary makers. Salon is vetted and the only international fair of this caliber to combine styles, genres, and periods–cutting a universal and timeless swath.

https://www.themostexpensivehomes.com/design-events/salon-artdesign-2019-need-know/


With its immense 55,000-square-foot Wade Thompson Drill Hall, modeled after 19th-century European train stations, and historic rooms designed by leading period designers Louis Comfort Tiffany and the Herter Brothers, Park Avenue Armory offers an amazing space to view cutting edge art + design.

ART REVIEW

Trash-Stalking With Rachel Rachel Harrison’s midcareer survey includes all kinds of garbage bags and unloved junk. Her goals might even become clear if you linger long enough. ON A RECENT SATURDAY there was strong foot traffic on the fifth floor of the Whitney Museum of American Art where the New York artist Rachel Harrison’s exuberant midcareer survey is installed. And the traffic wasn’t moving fast. Visitors were spending time with sculpture that, despite — or because of — its enigmatic zaniness, inspired a slow look. And people seemed to be having fun looking, even if they weren’t exactly sure why. Maybe it was because puzzlement can be fun, and Ms. Harrison has set it as one of the tasks for her work. Many of her assemblage-style sculptures suggest the kind of accidental urban still lifes you see on New York City sidewalks on trash collection day: bottles, bedding, defunct appliances, outgrown toys, discarded Christmas trees in season and, always, sealed garbage bags filled with you don’t want to know what. All of these together, once you start to look, translate into information about commerce, class, value, accident, appetite, waste, color, shape, zeitgeist — even life and death. There’s material there for stories, many. But you have to write them. Ms. Harrison has photographed such arrays in the past and inserted the pictures in her sculpture, though the earliest piece in her current exhibition, “Rachel Harrison Life Hack,” a career survey covering some 25 years, looks like the unsavory something that the inside of a garbage bag might yield. That piece is titled “Dinner” and is — or once was — just that. One night in 1991, the

We Fought in Iraq. Don’t You Forget It. A new show features artists from the United States and the Persian Gulf revisiting conflicts that are too often overlooked. By JASON FARAGO and TIM ARANGO

Hanaa Malallah’s series of portraits, “She/He Has No Picture,” at MoMA PS1, are made from collaged pieces of burnt canvas. They commemorate the 400 civilian victims of the United States Air Force bombing of the al-Amiriyah shelter.

WALTER WLODARCZYK

Over the past month, Iraqis fed up with corruption and unemployment have staged the country’s largest protests since the fall of Saddam Hussein in 2003. Hundreds of them have died at the hands of national security forces. The Iraq conflict is still going on — and yet the country has largely disappeared from America’s news broadcasts, social media streams and campaign trails. “Theater of Operations: The Gulf Wars 1991-2011,” a major exhibition that fills MoMA PS1, returns American audiences to a place some would rather ignore. It offers an encounter between Western artists (among them Jenny Holzer, Luc Tuymans and Richard Serra) and more than 30 artists from Iraq, Kuwait and their diasporas. Together, their works narrate the entanglement of the United States and Iraq over two ruinous decades of violence, sanctions and

insurgency. Jason Farago, a New York Times art critic, and Tim Arango, The Times’s bureau chief in Baghdad from 2010 to 2017, saw “Theater of Operations” together, and discussed Mr. Arango’s memories of war and the ethics and aesthetics of art from Iraq. The show begins in 1991, when George H. W. Bush ordered the American military to storm Iraqi-invaded Kuwait. One of the first things you see are small, gnarly paintings of ghosts and martyrs by a Kuwaiti artist, Khalifa Qattan; and a video by the French artist Michel Auder that shows pounding footage of CNN and other vintage news broadcasts, projected at full scale, high volume. The war looms large

IRISH CHAMBER ORCHESTRA at Zankel Hall (Nov. 19, 7:30 p.m.). Jörg Widmann may hold the Richard and Barbara Debs Composer’s Chair at Carnegie this season, but the concerts associated with that appointment showcase his work as a clarinetist and a conductor, too. Hear him in all three roles in a concert that, just like his music, reflects deeply on the links between past and present. On the bill: a Mendelssohn string symphony, Mozart’s Adagio and Fugue in C minor, Weber’s Clarinet Quintet, and two Widmann works, “Versuch über die Fuge” and “180 Beats Per Minute.” 212-247-7800, carnegiehall.org

Plachetka, amazingly and quite amusingly, reappears as Figaro when the production returns in February. 212-362-6000, metopera.org

‘THE HALF-LIFE OF MARIE CURIE’ at the Minetta Lane Theater (in previews; opens on Nov. 19). Most of Audible’s theatrical enterprises are solo efforts, but to tell an episode from the life of the physicist and chemist Marie Curie, it takes two. In Lauren Gunderson’s drama, Francesca Faridany stars as Curie, with Kate Mulgrew as the engineer Hertha Ayrton, who spent a summer with Curie. Gaye Taylor Upchurch directs. audible.com/ep/minettalane

CONRAD TAO at Weill Recital Hall (Nov. 20, 7:30 p.m.). Talk about range: On his Carnegie debut, this brilliant pianist and composer skips from Bach, Schumann and Rachmaninoff all the way forward to pieces by Elliott Carter, David Lang, Julia Wolfe and Jason Eckardt. Pianophiles might also note recitals in the coming week by Vadym Kholodenko, playing Medtner, Beethoven and Godovsky as part of the Peoples’ Symphony Concerts at Washington Irving High School (Saturday, 7:30 p.m.); Alessio Bax doing a program of Dallapiccola, Liszt and more at the 92nd Street Y (Wednesday, 7:30 p.m.); and, most enticingly, Michael Brown and Orion Weiss at the Rose Studio, performing Messiaen’s “Visions de l’Amen” and the fourhanded version of Stravinsky’s “Rite of Spring” (Thursday, 7:30 p.m.). 212-247-7800, carnegiehall.org

‘THE INHERITANCE’ at the Barrymore Theater (in previews; opens on Nov. 17). Three generations of gay men live, grieve and love through the six and a half hours of Matthew Lopez’s epic, which Matt Wolf called “capaciously moving” when it was staged in London last year. The play arrives on Broadway directed by Stephen Daldry and starring the original cast members John Benjamin Hickey, Paul Hilton and Andrew Burnap, as well as Lois Smith. 212-239-6200, theinheritanceplay.com ‘MEASURE FOR MEASURE’ at the Public Theater (previews start on Nov. 18; opens on Nov. 22). The Public’s Mobile Unit has been solving Shakespeare’s political problem play at correctional facilities, homeless shelters and community centers throughout the city. The production, directed by LA Williams, now returns to the theater with a reminder of how lawmakers place their own interests above the commonweal. 212-967-7555, publictheater.org ‘THE UNDERLYING CHRIS’ at the Tony Kiser Theater at Second Stage Theater (in previews; opens on Nov. 21). Will Eno, a playwright who packs big emotions and ideas into small packages, returns with a meditation on identity and the things that make and mar us. Kenny Leon directs a cast that includes Hannah Cabell and Michael Countryman. 212-246-4422, 2st.com

LAST CHANCE ‘THE HEIGHT OF THE STORM’ at the Samuel J. Friedman Theater (closes on Nov. 24). Florian Zeller’s drama about a couple, long married and possibly dead, divorces itself from Broadway. Jesse Green wrote that Zeller’s “idée fixe about unfixed consciousness gets its fullest and least rewarding workout.” Still, he praised Jonathan Pryce and Eileen Atkins, “who face the adversity of the text in contrastingly and compulsively watchable ways.” 212-239-6200, manhattantheatreclub.com ‘HEROES OF THE FOURTH TURNING’ at Playwrights Horizons (closes on Nov. 17). Will Arbery’s moonlit chat with Christian conservatives ends its Off Broadway run. Jesse Green wrote that this astonishing play, set in Wyoming and directed by Danya Taymor, “explores the lives and ideas of conservatives with affection, understanding and deep knowledge — if not, ultimately, approval.” 212-279-4200, playwrightshorizons.org ‘SOFT POWER’ at the Public Theater (closes on Nov. 17). David Henry Hwang and Jeanine Tesori’s new play, a meditation on creativity and control, lowers its curtain. Directed by Leigh Silverman, this show about an Asian-American playwright asked to write a musical for a Chinese impresario is, as Jesse Green wrote, “something of a miracle but also something of a muddle.” 212-967-7555, publictheater.org ALEXIS SOLOSKI

stronghold for female and nonbinary music writers. To celebrate the website’s upcoming reboot, the platform’s proprietors booked a stacked musical lineup of women operating in various corners of the pop universe. Purple Pilgrims, a sister duo from New Zealand, make folksy dream pop, and Mothica, a Brooklynite, dabbles in gloomy synth pop. Topping the bill is Zola Jesus, the experimental electro-pop project of the onetime opera singer Nika Roza Danilova. In performances, her haunting stage presence is as intense as her music, which, on her most recent album, grapples with topics like suicide and depression. eventbrite.com BUCK MEEK AND THE BROTHER BROTHERS at the Sultan Room (Nov. 16, 9 p.m.). In his best-known work with the wildly popular indie-rock outfit Big Thief, Meek yields vocal duties — and, generally, the spotlight — to his bandmate Adrianne Lenker. But Meek, a singer, songwriter and guitarist, is a convincing frontman in his own right, as revealed by his self-titled solo debut. Released last year, the collection is ambling and good-spirited, its tone set by Meek’s freewheeling guitar playing and prominent Texas twang. In Bushwick, Brooklyn, he’ll share a bill with the twins Adam and David Moss, who perform as the Americana duo the Brother Brothers. thesultanroom.com ANGEL OLSEN at Brooklyn Steel (Nov. 21-23, 8 p.m.). For the first few years of her career, this singersongwriter was most often described as a folk artist; with her intense, brooding songs of heartbreak, she sounded like a student of Leonard Cohen, or a distant cousin of Bill Callahan. Olsen’s 2016 album, “My Woman,” marked something of a pivot, its bright, poppy single “Shut Up Kiss Me” revealing a newfound interest in lushness. “All Mirrors,” released last month, takes this recalibration a step further, with decadent string arrangements making for a record that is sonically (and emotionally) vast. Olsen’s performance on Nov. 22 at Brooklyn Steel is sold out, but tickets for the shows on

Thursday and Nov. 23 remain. 888-929-7849, bowerypresents.com KIM PETRAS at Avant Gardner (Nov. 16-17, 8 p.m.). This German singer’s songs are ostensibly about heartbreak, material excess, partying and other escapades, but they’re also about pop music. Sleek, highly produced and catchy almost to a fault, tracks like “Heart to Break” and “I Don’t Want It at All” push the form to its saccharine extremes. Controversy has swirled around Petras’s ongoing creative partnership with the accused abuser Dr. Luke; nonetheless, she maintains a loyal fan base, who are sure to turn out in droves for her performances at this Brooklyn event space. Saturday’s show is sold out, but tickets for Sunday’s performance remain. 347-987-3146, avant-gardner.com SUPER M at Madison Square Garden (Nov. 19, 7 p.m.). Described as the “Avengers of K-pop” in a press statement by the South Korean media mogul Lee Soo-man, this newly minted seven-piece supergroup comprises members of four established K-pop bands. Despite having only a handful of songs to their name, released last month on a self-titled EP, Super M booked a debut tour that will hit some of the country’s biggest stages, including the Garden, this fall and winter. The group caters first and foremost to an American audience, representing an effort by their label bosses to capitalize on the recent crossover success of groups like BTS and Blackpink. Their EDM-laced signature tune, “Jopping,” sounds like something from a Marvel soundtrack — in other words, like dollar signs. 212-465-6000, msg.com OLIVIA HORN

JAZZ GEORGE CABLES TRIO at Mezzrow (through Nov. 16, 7:30 and 9 p.m.). Cables, who turned 75 on Thursday, stands as one of the last standardbearers of the classic post-bop piano tradition. As sensitive as he is dynamic, he plays in a gently articulated but deeply rhythmic style, unify-

ing the influences of his two main idols, Herbie Hancock and Thelonious Monk. At Mezzrow he will be joined on Friday by the bassist Essiet Okon Essiet and the drummer Victor Lewis, and on Saturday by Lewis and the bassist Ed Howard. 646-476-4346, mezzrow.com DOUGLAS R. EWART/ADEGOKE STEVE COLSON DUO AND OLIVER LAKE ORGAN QUARTET at Symphony Space (Nov. 15, 8 p.m.). The Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians, among the most influential musician-run organizations in American history, is now in its 54th year. Its New York chapter, which has been around since 1983, presents a series of concerts each fall, and this year’s season comes to a close with this show: a double bill featuring one set from Ewart, a multi-instrumentalist and global musical explorer, in duet with Colson, a pianist; and one from the organ quartet led by Lake, an avant-garde alto saxophone luminary. That band includes Jared Gold on organ, Freddie Hendrix on trumpet and Pheeroan akLaff on drums. 212-864-5400, symphonyspace.org MATANA ROBERTS at Roulette (Nov. 17, 8 p.m.). Roberts is an alto saxophonist, electronic musician and multimedia artist who is now four albums into a planned 12-record exploration of her family’s lore, one that merges improvised music with anthropological inquiry and speculative history. Each album in the continuing “Coin Coin” suite has a different sonic identity, but they are typically characterized by a mix of spoken word (often from the perspective of Roberts’s relatives), free jazz and hauntingly beautiful, repetitious melodies. Last month she released “Coin Coin Chapter Four: Memphis,” and she will draw upon that disc’s material in this concert, where she’ll be joined by the multiinstrumentalist Hannah Marcus, the percussionist Ryan Sawyer, the trumpeter and reeds player Matt Lavelle and the guitarist and vocalist Kyp Malone. 917-267-0368, roulette.org CHUCHO VALDÉS WITH CHICK

COREA at the Rose Theater (Nov. 15-16, 8 p.m.). A son of Bebo Valdés, one the most popular Cuban bandleaders from the mid-20th century, the pianist Chucho Valdés first came to prominence in his own right in the 1970s with Irakere, a band that fused Afro-Caribbean tradition with American rock and jazz. In recent decades he has become known as a dean of Cuban pianism, typically working in more traditional and Latin jazzoriented styles. At Jazz at Lincoln Center’s main stage this weekend, Valdés will begin each night with a set of solo piano, followed by one in duet with Corea, an eminent American jazz pianist. 212-721-6500, jazz.org BRANDEE YOUNGER at the Miller Theater (Nov. 16, 8 p.m.). Over the past 10 years, Younger has almost single-handedly made a persuasive argument for the harp’s role in contemporary jazz. She draws from the crisply rhythmic style of Dorothy Ashby and the immersive, swirling sound of Alice Coltrane — the jazz harp’s towering historical figures — but also uses a hip-hop mentality to think about how different instruments can come together in a hypnotic groove. At this concert she’s likely to draw from her latest album, the impressive “Soul Awakening.” Her band will feature Chelsea Baratz on saxophone, Anne Drummond on flute, Dezron Douglas on bass and E. J. Strickland on drums. 212-854-7799, millertheatre.com GIOVANNI RUSSONELLO

CLASSICAL BOSTON SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA at Carnegie Hall (Nov. 18, 8 p.m.). Straight-down-the-line classics in this concert, the first of three the Boston Symphony gives in New York this season.

Andris Nelsons conducts. 212-247-7800, carnegiehall.org

‘GUTTERPLUM’ at Union Hall (Nov. 16, 7:30 and 10 p.m.). In this hourlong one-hander about a tomboy smacking precipitously into puberty, Courtney Pauroso, a comedian based in Los Angeles, gives clowning a sexually provocative edge. Dr. Brown (a.k.a. Phil Burgers), who won the best show award in 2012 at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe for his clown act, directs. 718-638-4400, unionhallny.com ‘THE JACKIE AND LAURIE SHOW LIVE!’ at the Stand (Nov. 16, 6 p.m.). Laurie Kilmartin and Jackie Kashian, who have performed stand-up since the 1980s, started their own podcast in 2015. Kilmartin is a writer for “Conan”; Kashian has a half-hour Comedy Central special to her credit and often tours with Maria Bamford. On Saturday, Kilmartin and Kashian will do a live taping of their show, which covers current events in comedy and spotlights a new female comedian on each episode. 212-677-2600, thestandnyc.com ‘LAP DANCE SALOON’ at 2A (Nov. 18, 9 p.m.). This weekly stand-up showcase presented by Jeffrey Emerson and Jill Weiner celebrates its 200th show with its standard formula of free pizza and a mostly equal number of men and women on the bill. On Monday, the lineup will feature Menuhin Hart and Caitlin Peluffo, two of the finalists from this year’s New York’s Funniest contest. Martin Urbano and Andrea Allan, among others, will also perform. eventbrite.com MOVIES R DUMB PRESENTS ‘SON OF DRACULA’ at Q.E.D. (Nov. 15, 11 p.m.).

OCTOBER 30, 2019 Show Us Your Wall

There’s No Business Like Art Fair Business for Sanford Smith Modern pieces, Outsider Art, Americana. You name it, he hunted it down, then he sold it and moved on. By Hilarie M. Sheets

When Sanford Smith talks about working in “show business,” he’s not referring to Broadway or Hollywood. Over the last four decades he has produced some 130 fairs nationwide, bringing together dealers in art, design and antiques.

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/30/arts/design/show-us-your-wall-sanford-smith.html


“At the high point of my career, I did 11 shows a year,” Mr. Smith, who recently turned 80, said at his home, an Upper West Side brownstone brimming with an eccentric personal collection. The examples of Americana and modern and contemporary art and design there reflect the fairs he has created over the years. Art by early American modernists including John Marin, Charles Burchfield and George Bellows is mixed with contemporary pieces by Judy Pfaff and Michael Zelehoski and furniture designed by George Nakashima, Charlotte Perriand, Paul Evans and Ettore Sottsass. It’s the kind of eclecticism that Mr. Smith favors in his high-end show Salon Art + Design, now in its eighth edition and opening Nov. 14 at the Park Avenue Armory in New York. In Mr. Smith’s house you’ll find more than two dozen antique weather vanes featuring sculpted animals, hundreds of miniature toy soldiers battling on the shelves and a cigar-store Indian. These were the kinds of objects sold in the All American Antiques Show that he started in 1980, the first fair devoted to such material.

A large carved wooden goat by Mark Perry.Credit...Charlie Rubin for The New York Times After noticing a niche within this show, he spun off the Outsider Art Fair in 1992, helping to establish a market for work by self-taught artists. Pointing to several Thornton Dial works on paper he bought at that first fair, he said: “I paid maybe 100 bucks for these originally. I just saw that Jane Fonda has consigned one of Dial’s big drawings to Sotheby’s for $200,000.” Growing up in Brooklyn on Ocean Parkway, Mr. Smith avidly collected comic books and baseball cards — “including some that today would be worth a fortune,” he said, lamenting that his mother had thrown them away when he went to college. After graduate school, he went to work in the office of his father’s funeral business. “I was bored out of my mind,” he said. On his way home he would alleviate the tedium by perusing the antique shops that used to line University Place in Greenwich Village. The collecting fever snowballed with weekend trips to auctions in Connecticut, where he would fill his Country Squire station wagon with pictures, furniture and bric-a-brac. What he didn’t have room to keep, Mr. Smith and his first wife began reselling at the now extinct 26th Street flea market. “In those days, the stalls were $15,” he said. “The first time we did it, we made $50 net. I said, ‘This is for me.’”

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/30/arts/design/show-us-your-wall-sanford-smith.html


Following are edited excerpts from our conversation. What was the first thing you collected as an adult? Little Vienna bronzes, painted figures of animals and people that were made in the late 19th century into the early 20th century in Austria. They stopped being produced around 1935 because the materials were then used for armaments by Nazi Germany. Did you know anything about them originally? No, but like everything else that I ever bought, or dealt with, I got library books so I could learn. I liked them aesthetically. Some were vignettes. Pigs playing instruments. Acrobatic animals standing on each others’ shoulders. They were whimsical.

A stone head, far left, and horse, far right, by John Flanagan; silver circus figures by Tiffany Studios; a bronze Bali dancer by Alan Clarke; candle holders by Swid Powell; and a watercolor, “New York Harbor,” by George Grosz.Credit...Estate of George Grosz/Licensed by VAGA at Artists Rights Society (ARS), NY; Charlie Rubin for The New York Times How have you typically found things? I used to go to every antique store on Routes 5 and 10. I’d start out in Connecticut and work my way up into Massachusetts and back. This is before online. Now it’s so much easier. All these shooting gallery targets and the soldiers came from eBay or somewhere else online. But I go through every show I do. I look through almost every place I go to see if there’s something that interests me. I get every magazine published in the business. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/30/arts/design/show-us-your-wall-sanford-smith.html


Are you still acquiring as actively these days? I’m not buying any more weather vanes because I have no place to put them. But I’m bidding on a lamp by Ettore Sottsass of the Memphis school. I can’t help myself. I go through collecting binges. That entire collection of toy soldiers I picked up in about four months. I will build a collection, like of American pewter, and then I’ll sell it all. The acquisition is the fun. I love the hunt.

NOVEMBER 14, 2019

18 Art Exhibitions to View in N.Y.C. This Weekend Our guide to new art shows and some that will be closing soon.

Lionel Jadot’s “Blue Tie Roofing,” one of many contemporary items on display at the Salon Art + Design Fair. The exposition will be at the Park Avenue Armory through Monday.

‘ARTISTIC LICENSE: SIX TAKES ON THE GUGGENHEIM COLLECTION’ at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum (through Jan. 12). Displays that artists select from a museum’s collection are almost inevitably interesting, revealing and valuable. After all, artists can be especially discerning regarding work not their own. ​Here​, six artists — Cai Guo-Qiang, Paul Chan, Richard Prince, Julie Mehretu, Carrie Mae Weens and Jenny Holzer — guided by specific themes, have chosen, which multiplies the impact accordingly. With one per ramp, each selection turns the museum inside out. The combination sustains multiple visits; the concept should be applied regularly. (Roberta Smith)

‘AUSCHWITZ. NOT LONG AGO. NOT FAR AWAY’ at the Museum of Jewish Heritage (through Aug. 30). Killing as a communal business, made widely lucrative by the Third Reich, permeates ​this traveling exhibition about the largest German death camp, Auschwitz, whose yawning gatehouse, with its converging rail tracks, has become emblematic of the Holocaust. Well timed, during a worldwide surge of anti-Semitism, the harrowing installation strives, successfully, for fresh relevance. The exhibition illuminates the topography of evil, the deliberate designing of a hell on earth by fanatical racists and compliant architects and provisioners, while also highlighting the strenuous struggle for survival in a place where, as Primo Levi learned, “there is no why.” (Ralph Blumenthal) 646-437-4202, ​mjhnyc.org ‘PIERRE CARDIN: FUTURE FASHION’ at the Brooklyn Museum (through Jan. 5). He was never a great artist like Dior, Balenciaga or Saint Laurent, but Pierre Cardin — still at work at 97 — pioneered today’s approach to the business of fashion: take a loss on haute couture, then make the real money through ready-to-wear and worldwide licensing deals. He excelled at bold, futuristic day wear: belted unisex jumpsuits, vinyl miniskirts, dresses accessorized with astronaut-chic Plexiglas helmets. Other ensembles, especially the tacky evening gowns souped up with metal armature, are best ignored. All told, ​Cardin comes across as a relentless optimist about humanity’s future, which has a certain retro charm. Remember the future? (Jason Farago) 718-638-5000, ​brooklynmuseum.org ‘THE JIM HENSON EXHIBITION’ at the Museum of the Moving Image (ongoing). The rainbow connection has been established in Astoria, Queens, where this museum has opened ​a new permanent wing devoted to the career of America’s great puppeteer, who was born in Mississippi in 1936 and died, too young, in 1990. Henson began presenting the short TV program “Sam and Friends” before he was out of his teens; one of its characters, the soft-faced Kermit, was fashioned from his mother’s old coat and would not mature into a frog for more than a decade. The influence of early variety television, with its succession of skits and songs, runs through “Sesame Street” and “The Muppet Show,” though Henson also spent the late 1960s crafting peace-and-love documentaries and prototyping a psychedelic nightclub. Young visitors will delight in seeing Big Bird, Elmo, Miss Piggy and the Swedish Chef; adults can dig deep into sketches and storyboards and rediscover some old friends. (Farago) 718-784-0077, ​movingimage.us ‘ERNST LUDWIG KIRCHNER’ at the Neue Galerie (through Jan. 13). You could be forgiven for drawing a connection between Kirchner’s shocking color palette and his character. It would be understandable enough, considering his problems with morphine, Veronal and absinthe; the nervous breakdown precipitated by his artillery training in World War I; and his suicide in 1938, at the age of 58, after the Nazis had denounced him as a degenerate. But to linger on Kirchner’s lurid biography would be unfair to the mesmerizing technical genius of his style, amply on display in ​this exhibition​. Surrounding more or less sober portrait subjects with backgrounds of flat but brilliant color, as Kirchner did, wasn’t just a youthful revolt against the staid academic painting he grew up with. It was also an ingenious way to articulate subjective experience in an increasingly materialist modern world. (Will Heinrich) https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/14/arts/design/nyc-this-weekend-art-and-museums.htm l


neuegalerie.org ‘YAYOI KUSAMA: EVERY DAY I PRAY FOR LOVE’ at David Zwirner (through Dec. 14). Ignored for decades in New York and Tokyo, this 90-year-old artist is enjoying a not-unmerited surge in public visibility, but just what do audiences get from taking photographs of their colored reflections in her Infinity Mirror Rooms? Kusama first made a mirror environment in 1965, when she was staging orgiastic happenings that encouraged “self-obliteration”; now the self has been subsumed by the social media profile, and our digital narcissism has made the abandonment Kusama once encouraged impossible. If you want to line up for an hour or more for your selfie opportunity, be our guest, but the rest of the show, including some excellent new steel sculptures, requires no wait. (Farago) davidzwirner.com ‘THE LAST KNIGHT: THE ART, ARMOR, AND AMBITION OF MAXIMILIAN I’ at the Metropolitan Museum of Art (through Jan. 5). Kaiser Max, who ruled the Holy Roman Empire in the years around 1500, anchors ​the Met’s largest show of arms and armor in decades: a gleaming showcase of heavy metal and Hapsburg propaganda. Maximilian I, who ruled a swath of Europe stretching from the Netherlands to Croatia, would have looked resplendent on the battlefield when he wore the tapered suit of ribbed and fluted steel here. What really broadcast his power were public spectacles of chivalric glory, in which he jousted with local noblemen and foreign champions in ritualized mock combat, still dangerous despite the staging. He also embraced the hottest technology of the late 15th century: printmaking, which allowed the emperor to broadcast his military prowess through books and monumental woodcuts. The pen, or at least movable type, was for Maximilian even mightier than the sword. (Farago) 212-535-7710, ​metmuseum.org ‘THE LIFE AND TIMES OF ALVIN BALTROP’ at the Bronx Museum of the Arts (through Feb. 9). New York City is a gateway for new talent. It’s also an archive of art careers past. Some come to light only after artists have departed, as is the case with Baltrop, an American photographer who was unknown to the mainstream art world when he died in 2004 at 55, and who now has ​a bright monument of a retrospective at this Bronx museum. That he was black, gay and working class accounts in part for his invisibility, but so does the subject matter he chose: a string of derelict Hudson River shipping piers that, in the 1970s and ’80s, became a preserve for gay sex and communion. In assiduously recording both the architecture of the piers and the amorous action they housed, Baltrop created a monument to the city itself at the time when it was both falling apart and radiating liberationist energy. (Holland Cotter) 718-681-6000, ​bronxmuseum.org ‘NATURE: COOPER HEWITT MUSEUM DESIGN TRIENNIAL’ at the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum (through Jan. 20). Plastics transformed the material world after World War II. Today, they pollute our oceans. A better future will be made with … algae. Or bacteria. That’s the dominant theme of ​this sweeping exhibition​. On display here at the Smithsonian’s temple to the culture of design are objects you might once have expected only at a science museum: Proteins found in silkworms are repurposed as surgical screws and optical lenses. Electrically active bacteria power a light fixture. The triennial displays some 60 projects and products from around the world that define a reconciliation of biosphere and technosphere, as Koert van Mensvoort, a Dutch artist and philosopher, puts it in the show’s excellent catalog.

“Nature” provides us with a post-consumption future, in which the urgency of restoring ecological function trumps the allure of the latest gadget. (James S. Russell) 212-849-2950, ​cooperhewitt.org [​Read about the events that our other critics have chosen for the week ahead.​] ‘NOBODY PROMISED YOU TOMORROW: 50 YEARS AFTER STONEWALL’ at the Brooklyn Museum (through Dec. 8). In this large ​group show​, 28 young queer and transgender artists, most born after 1980, carry the buzz of Stonewall resistance into the present. Historical heroes, including Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera, are honored (in a film by Sasha Wortzel and Tourmaline). Friends in life, Johnson and Rivera are tutelary spirits of an exhibition in which a trans presence, long marginalized by mainstream gay politics, is pronounced in the work of Juliana Huxtable, Hugo Gyrl, Amaryllis DeJesus Moleski and Elle Pérez (whose work also appeared in this year’s Whitney Biennial). (Cotter) 718-638-5000, ​brooklynmuseum.org ‘OCEAN WONDERS: SHARKS!’ at the New York Aquarium (ongoing). For years, the aquarium’s 14-acre campus hunkered behind a wall, turning its back to the beach. When aquarium officials last year finally got around to completing the long-promised building that houses ​this shark exhibition​, maybe the biggest move, architecturally speaking, was breaking through that wall. The overall effect makes the aquarium more of a visible, welcoming presence along the boardwalk. Inside, “Ocean Wonders” features 115 species sharing 784,000 gallons of water. It stresses timely eco-consciousness, introducing visitors to shark habitats, explaining how critical sharks are to the ocean’s food chains and ecologies, debunking myths about the danger sharks pose to people while documenting the threats people pose to sharks via overfishing and pollution. The narrow, snaking layout suggests an underwater landscape carved by water. Past the exit, an outdoor ramp inclines visitors toward the roof of the building, where the Atlantic Ocean suddenly spreads out below. You can see Luna Park in one direction, Brighton Beach in the other. The architectural point becomes clear: Sharks aren’t just movie stars and aquarium attractions. They’re also our neighbors — as much a part of Coney Island as the roller coasters and summer dreams. (Michael Kimmelman) 718-265-3474, ​nyaquarium.com ‘PUNK LUST: RAW PROVOCATION 1971-1985’ at the Museum of Sex (through Nov. 30). This show begins with imagery from the Velvet Underground: The 1963 paperback of that title, an exploration of what was then called deviant sexual behavior and gave the band its name, is one of the first objects on display. Working through photos, album art and fliers by artists like Iggy Pop, the New York Dolls, Patti Smith and, yes, the Sex Pistols, the exhibition demonstrates how punk offered a space for sexual expression outside the mainstream. In the story told by “Punk Lust,” much of it laid out in placards by the writer and musician Vivien Goldman, one of the show’s curators, graphic sexual imagery is a tool for shock that frightens away the straight world and offers comfort to those who remain inside. While some of the power dynamic is typical — underage groupies cavorting with rock stars — images from female, queer and nonbinary artists like Jayne County and the Slits make a strong case for sex as an essential source of punk liberation.

‘BETYE SAAR: THE LEGENDS OF “BLACK GIRL’S WINDOW”’ at the Museum of Modern Art (through Jan. 4). “Black Girl’s Window,” which consists of an old window frame that Saar filled with a constellation of images, is the focus of ​this exhibition​, one of several helping to reopen MoMA. Concentrating on Saar’s early years as an artist, it tracks the experiments in printmaking and assemblage that led her to arrive at the titular work. Despite the unusual color of the gallery’s deep purple walls, the show is relatively modest — a scholarly study of a specific period, anchored by MoMA’s recent acquisition of a group of 42 of her works on paper. Two pieces from 1972 that represent her shift from the mystical to the political — “Black Crows in the White Section Only,” which brings together a variety of racist advertisements, and “Let Me Entertain You,” which shows a minstrel singer with a guitar transforming into a black liberation fighter with a rifle — serve as a kind of coda. Their appearance at the end offers a tantalizing glimpse of the iconoclastic artist Saar was on her way to becoming.

Featuring 56 art and design galleries from more than 10 countries, this interior design exposition, in its eighth year, offers a look at myriad approaches and techniques, as well as a sampling of the results of their application. In the immersive environments Salon’s exhibitors have created for the fair, Art Deco, Bauhaus and midcentury pieces mingle with contemporary items.

For its commemoration of the anniversary of the Stonewall rebellion, the society continues with two micro-shows​: “By the Force of Our Presence: Highlights From the Lesbian Herstory Archives” documents the founding in 1974 — by Joan Nestle, Deborah Edel, Sahli Cavallero, Pamela Olin and Julia Stanley — of a compendious and still-growing register of lesbian culture. And “Say It Loud, Out and Proud: Fifty Years of Pride” ​turns a solo spotlight on charismatic individuals: Storme DeLarverie (1920-2014), Mother Flawless Sabrina/Jack Doroshow (1939-2017), Keith Haring (1958-90) and Rollerena Fairy Godmother. (Cotter) 212-873-3400, ​nyhistory.org ‘T. REX: THE ULTIMATE PREDATOR’ at the American Museum of Natural History (through Aug. 9). Everyone’s favorite 18,000-pound prehistoric killer gets the star treatment in this eye-opening exhibition​, which presents the latest scientific research on T. rex and also introduces many other tyrannosaurs, some discovered only in this century in China and Mongolia. T. rex evolved mainly during the Cretaceous period to have keen eyes, spindly arms and massive conical teeth, which packed a punch that has never been matched by any other creature; the dinosaur could even swallow whole bones, as affirmed here by a kid-friendly display of fossilized excrement. The show mixes 66-million-year-old teeth with the latest 3-D prints of dino bones, and also presents new models of T. rex as a baby, a juvenile and a full-grown annihilator. Turns out this most savage beast was covered with — believe it! — a soft coat of beige or white feathers.

‘VIOLET HOLDINGS: LGBTQ+ HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE N.Y.U. SPECIAL COLLECTIONS’ at Bobst Library (through Dec. 31). With the Stonewall Inn now a National Historic Landmark (and a bar again; it was a bagel shop in the 1980s), nearby New York University has produced a ​homegrown archival exhibition at Bobst Library, across the park from Grey Art Gallery. Organized by Hugh Ryan, it takes the local history of queer identity back to the 19th century with documents on Elizabeth Robins (1862-1952), an American actor, suffragist and friend of Virginia Woolf, and forward with ephemera related to the musician and drag king Johnny Science (1955-2007) and the African-American D.J. Larry Levan (1954-92), who, in the 1980s, presided, godlike, at a gay disco called the Paradise Garage, which was a short walk from the campus.

How does a contemporary artist enter a scene as formidable as Henry Frick’s Gilded Age mansion? For de Waal, the English ceramist and author of the acclaimed family memoir “The Hare With Amber Eyes,” the answer is with modesty. Only as you follow de Waal’s ​site-specific installations in nine of the museum’s galleries does his own restrained music begin to ring out. Below Ingres’s dangerously seductive “Comtesse d’Haussonville,” he installs little strips of solid gold leaning against two huddles of white porcelain; in the richly appointed West Gallery, two pairs of overlapping flat-screen-shaped glass boxes (“From Darkness to Darkness” and “Noontime and Dawntime”) distill the experience of being overwhelmed by painted imagery into a lucid kind of serenity.

ART REVIEW

Trash-Stalking With Rachel Rachel Harrison’s midcareer survey includes all kinds of garbage bags and unloved junk. Her goals might even become clear if you linger long enough. ON A RECENT SATURDAY there was strong foot traffic on the fifth floor of the Whitney Museum of American Art where the New York artist Rachel Harrison’s exuberant midcareer survey is installed. And the traffic wasn’t moving fast. Visitors were spending time with sculpture that, despite — or because of — its enigmatic zaniness, inspired a slow look. And people seemed to be having fun looking, even if they weren’t exactly sure why. Maybe it was because puzzlement can be fun, and Ms. Harrison has set it as one of the tasks for her work. Many of her assemblage-style sculptures suggest the kind of accidental urban still lifes you see on New York City sidewalks on trash collection day: bottles, bedding, defunct appliances, outgrown toys, discarded Christmas trees in season and, always, sealed garbage bags filled with you don’t want to know what. All of these together, once you start to look, translate into information about commerce, class, value, accident, appetite, waste, color, shape, zeitgeist — even life and death. There’s material there for stories, many. But you have to write them. Ms. Harrison has photographed such arrays in the past and inserted the pictures in her sculpture, though the earliest piece in her current exhibition, “Rachel Harrison Life Hack,” a career survey covering some 25 years, looks like the unsavory something that the inside of a garbage bag might yield. That piece is titled “Dinner” and is — or once was — just that. One night in 1991, the

We Fought in Iraq. Don’t You Forget It. A new show features artists from the United States and the Persian Gulf revisiting conflicts that are too often overlooked. By JASON FARAGO and TIM ARANGO

Hanaa Malallah’s series of portraits, “She/He Has No Picture,” at MoMA PS1, are made from collaged pieces of burnt canvas. They commemorate the 400 civilian victims of the United States Air Force bombing of the al-Amiriyah shelter.

WALTER WLODARCZYK

Over the past month, Iraqis fed up with corruption and unemployment have staged the country’s largest protests since the fall of Saddam Hussein in 2003. Hundreds of them have died at the hands of national security forces. The Iraq conflict is still going on — and yet the country has largely disappeared from America’s news broadcasts, social media streams and campaign trails. “Theater of Operations: The Gulf Wars 1991-2011,” a major exhibition that fills MoMA PS1, returns American audiences to a place some would rather ignore. It offers an encounter between Western artists (among them Jenny Holzer, Luc Tuymans and Richard Serra) and more than 30 artists from Iraq, Kuwait and their diasporas. Together, their works narrate the entanglement of the United States and Iraq over two ruinous decades of violence, sanctions and

insurgency. Jason Farago, a New York Times art critic, and Tim Arango, The Times’s bureau chief in Baghdad from 2010 to 2017, saw “Theater of Operations” together, and discussed Mr. Arango’s memories of war and the ethics and aesthetics of art from Iraq. The show begins in 1991, when George H. W. Bush ordered the American military to storm Iraqi-invaded Kuwait. One of the first things you see are small, gnarly paintings of ghosts and martyrs by a Kuwaiti artist, Khalifa Qattan; and a video by the French artist Michel Auder that shows pounding footage of CNN and other vintage news broadcasts, projected at full scale, high volume. The war looms large

IRISH CHAMBER ORCHESTRA at Zankel Hall (Nov. 19, 7:30 p.m.). Jörg Widmann may hold the Richard and Barbara Debs Composer’s Chair at Carnegie this season, but the concerts associated with that appointment showcase his work as a clarinetist and a conductor, too. Hear him in all three roles in a concert that, just like his music, reflects deeply on the links between past and present. On the bill: a Mendelssohn string symphony, Mozart’s Adagio and Fugue in C minor, Weber’s Clarinet Quintet, and two Widmann works, “Versuch über die Fuge” and “180 Beats Per Minute.” 212-247-7800, carnegiehall.org

Theater PREVIEWS & OPENINGS ‘A CHRISTMAS CAROL’ at the Lyceum Theater (in previews; opens on Nov. 20). Ghosts of Broadway past, present and future unite in a new adaptation of the Charles Dickens Yuletide-cheer monger. The playwright Jack Thorne and the director Matthew Warchus weave Christmas songs into the tale of a miser redeemed. Campbell Scott stars, with Andrea Martin and LaChanze as spirits. 212-239-6200, achristmascarolbroadway.com

NATIONAL SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA at David Geffen Hall (Nov. 17, 3 p.m.). On the afternoon that Carnegie Hall rests between its visitors from Chicago and Boston, head over to Lincoln Center to catch this Washington ensemble, very much on the upswing. Revitalized by the conductor Gianandrea Noseda, the National Symphony performs Act II of Wagner’s “Tristan und Isolde” with Stephen Gould and Christine Goerke in the title roles, and Ekaterina Gubanova as Brangäne and Günther Groissböck as Marke. 212-721-6500, lincolncenter.org

‘FEFU AND HER FRIENDS’ at the Polonsky Shakespeare Center (previews start on Nov. 16; opens on Nov. 24). María Irene Fornés’s lapidary comedy-drama, an early example of a promenade play, returns Off Broadway. At a country house, in 1935, eight women gather to discuss love, violence, gender and philosophy. Lileana Blain-Cruz directs a cast that includes Amelia Workman and Jennifer Lim. 866-811-4111, tfana.org

VIA TODD MERRILL STUDIO

‘LE NOZZE DI FIGARO’ at the Metropolitan Opera (Nov. 16, 1 p.m.; Nov. 20, 7:30 p.m.; through Dec. 14). Mozart’s great comedy returns in Richard Eyre’s production, for the first of two runs this season. Antonello Manacorda conducts a cast that includes Susanna Phillips as the Countess, Nadine Sierra as Susanna, Luca Pisaroni as Figaro and Adam Plachetka as the Count. Plachetka, amazingly and quite amusingly, reappears as Figaro when the production returns in February. 212-362-6000, metopera.org

‘THE HALF-LIFE OF MARIE CURIE’ at the Minetta Lane Theater (in previews; opens on Nov. 19). Most of Audible’s theatrical enterprises are solo efforts, but to tell an episode from the life of the physicist and chemist Marie Curie, it takes two. In Lauren Gunderson’s drama, Francesca Faridany stars as Curie, with Kate Mulgrew as the engineer Hertha Ayrton, who spent a summer with Curie. Gaye Taylor Upchurch directs. audible.com/ep/minettalane

CONRAD TAO at Weill Recital Hall (Nov. 20, 7:30 p.m.). Talk about range: On his Carnegie debut, this brilliant pianist and composer skips from Bach, Schumann and Rachmaninoff all the way forward to pieces by Elliott Carter, David Lang, Julia Wolfe and Jason Eckardt. Pianophiles might also note recitals in the coming week by Vadym Kholodenko, playing Medtner, Beethoven and Godovsky as part of the Peoples’ Symphony Concerts at Washington Irving High School (Saturday, 7:30 p.m.); Alessio Bax doing a program of Dallapiccola, Liszt and more at the 92nd Street Y (Wednesday, 7:30 p.m.); and, most enticingly, Michael Brown and Orion Weiss at the Rose Studio, performing Messiaen’s “Visions de l’Amen” and the fourhanded version of Stravinsky’s “Rite of Spring” (Thursday, 7:30 p.m.). 212-247-7800, carnegiehall.org

‘THE INHERITANCE’ at the Barrymore Theater (in previews; opens on Nov. 17). Three generations of gay men live, grieve and love through the six and a half hours of Matthew Lopez’s epic, which Matt Wolf called “capaciously moving” when it was staged in London last year. The play arrives on Broadway directed by Stephen Daldry and starring the original cast members John Benjamin Hickey, Paul Hilton and Andrew Burnap, as well as Lois Smith. 212-239-6200, theinheritanceplay.com ‘MEASURE FOR MEASURE’ at the Public Theater (previews start on Nov. 18; opens on Nov. 22). The Public’s Mobile Unit has been solving Shakespeare’s political problem play at correctional facilities, homeless shelters and community centers throughout the city. The production, directed by LA Williams, now returns to the theater with a reminder of how lawmakers place their own interests above the commonweal. 212-967-7555, publictheater.org ‘THE UNDERLYING CHRIS’ at the Tony Kiser Theater at Second Stage Theater (in previews; opens on Nov. 21). Will Eno, a playwright who packs big emotions and ideas into small packages, returns with a meditation on identity and the things that make and mar us. Kenny Leon directs a cast that includes Hannah Cabell and Michael Countryman. 212-246-4422, 2st.com

LAST CHANCE ‘THE HEIGHT OF THE STORM’ at the Samuel J. Friedman Theater (closes on Nov. 24). Florian Zeller’s drama about a couple, long married and possibly dead, divorces itself from Broadway. Jesse Green wrote that Zeller’s “idée fixe about unfixed consciousness gets its fullest and least rewarding workout.” Still, he praised Jonathan Pryce and Eileen Atkins, “who face the adversity of the text in contrastingly and compulsively watchable ways.” 212-239-6200, manhattantheatreclub.com ‘HEROES OF THE FOURTH TURNING’ at Playwrights Horizons (closes on Nov. 17). Will Arbery’s moonlit chat with Christian conservatives ends its Off Broadway run. Jesse Green wrote that this astonishing play, set in Wyoming and directed by Danya Taymor, “explores the lives and ideas of conservatives with affection, understanding and deep knowledge — if not, ultimately, approval.” 212-279-4200, playwrightshorizons.org ‘SOFT POWER’ at the Public Theater (closes on Nov. 17). David Henry Hwang and Jeanine Tesori’s new play, a meditation on creativity and control, lowers its curtain. Directed by Leigh Silverman, this show about an Asian-American playwright asked to write a musical for a Chinese impresario is, as Jesse Green wrote, “something of a miracle but also something of a muddle.” 212-967-7555, publictheater.org ALEXIS SOLOSKI

stronghold for female and nonbinary music writers. To celebrate the website’s upcoming reboot, the platform’s proprietors booked a stacked musical lineup of women operating in various corners of the pop universe. Purple Pilgrims, a sister duo from New Zealand, make folksy dream pop, and Mothica, a Brooklynite, dabbles in gloomy synth pop. Topping the bill is Zola Jesus, the experimental electro-pop project of the onetime opera singer Nika Roza Danilova. In performances, her haunting stage presence is as intense as her music, which, on her most recent album, grapples with topics like suicide and depression. eventbrite.com BUCK MEEK AND THE BROTHER BROTHERS at the Sultan Room (Nov. 16, 9 p.m.). In his best-known work with the wildly popular indie-rock outfit Big Thief, Meek yields vocal duties — and, generally, the spotlight — to his bandmate Adrianne Lenker. But Meek, a singer, songwriter and guitarist, is a convincing frontman in his own right, as revealed by his self-titled solo debut. Released last year, the collection is ambling and good-spirited, its tone set by Meek’s freewheeling guitar playing and prominent Texas twang. In Bushwick, Brooklyn, he’ll share a bill with the twins Adam and David Moss, who perform as the Americana duo the Brother Brothers. thesultanroom.com ANGEL OLSEN at Brooklyn Steel (Nov. 21-23, 8 p.m.). For the first few years of her career, this singersongwriter was most often described as a folk artist; with her intense, brooding songs of heartbreak, she sounded like a student of Leonard Cohen, or a distant cousin of Bill Callahan. Olsen’s 2016 album, “My Woman,” marked something of a pivot, its bright, poppy single “Shut Up Kiss Me” revealing a newfound interest in lushness. “All Mirrors,” released last month, takes this recalibration a step further, with decadent string arrangements making for a record that is sonically (and emotionally) vast. Olsen’s performance on Nov. 22 at Brooklyn Steel is sold out, but tickets for the shows on

Thursday and Nov. 23 remain. 888-929-7849, bowerypresents.com KIM PETRAS at Avant Gardner (Nov. 16-17, 8 p.m.). This German singer’s songs are ostensibly about heartbreak, material excess, partying and other escapades, but they’re also about pop music. Sleek, highly produced and catchy almost to a fault, tracks like “Heart to Break” and “I Don’t Want It at All” push the form to its saccharine extremes. Controversy has swirled around Petras’s ongoing creative partnership with the accused abuser Dr. Luke; nonetheless, she maintains a loyal fan base, who are sure to turn out in droves for her performances at this Brooklyn event space. Saturday’s show is sold out, but tickets for Sunday’s performance remain. 347-987-3146, avant-gardner.com SUPER M at Madison Square Garden (Nov. 19, 7 p.m.). Described as the “Avengers of K-pop” in a press statement by the South Korean media mogul Lee Soo-man, this newly minted seven-piece supergroup comprises members of four established K-pop bands. Despite having only a handful of songs to their name, released last month on a self-titled EP, Super M booked a debut tour that will hit some of the country’s biggest stages, including the Garden, this fall and winter. The group caters first and foremost to an American audience, representing an effort by their label bosses to capitalize on the recent crossover success of groups like BTS and Blackpink. Their EDM-laced signature tune, “Jopping,” sounds like something from a Marvel soundtrack — in other words, like dollar signs. 212-465-6000, msg.com OLIVIA HORN

JAZZ GEORGE CABLES TRIO at Mezzrow (through Nov. 16, 7:30 and 9 p.m.). Cables, who turned 75 on Thursday, stands as one of the last standardbearers of the classic post-bop piano tradition. As sensitive as he is dynamic, he plays in a gently articulated but deeply rhythmic style, unify-

ing the influences of his two main idols, Herbie Hancock and Thelonious Monk. At Mezzrow he will be joined on Friday by the bassist Essiet Okon Essiet and the drummer Victor Lewis, and on Saturday by Lewis and the bassist Ed Howard. 646-476-4346, mezzrow.com DOUGLAS R.

The Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians, among the most influential musician-run organizations in American history, is now in its 54th year. Its New York chapter, which has been around since 1983, presents a series of concerts each fall, and this year’s season comes to a close with this show: a double bill featuring one set from Ewart, a multi-instrumentalist and global musical explorer, in duet with Colson, a pianist; and one from the organ quartet led by Lake, an avant-garde alto saxophone luminary. That band includes Jared Gold on organ, Freddie Hendrix on trumpet and Pheeroan akLaff on drums. 212-864-5400, symphonyspace.org MATANA ROBERTS at Roulette (Nov. 17, 8 p.m.). Roberts is an alto saxophonist, electronic musician and multimedia artist who is now four albums into a planned 12-record exploration of her family’s lore, one that merges improvised music with anthropological inquiry and speculative history. Each album in the continuing “Coin Coin” suite has a different sonic identity, but they are typically characterized by a mix of spoken word (often from the perspective of Roberts’s relatives), free jazz and hauntingly beautiful, repetitious melodies. Last month she released “Coin Coin Chapter Four: Memphis,” and she will draw upon that disc’s material in this concert, where she’ll be joined by the multiinstrumentalist Hannah Marcus, the percussionist Ryan Sawyer, the trumpeter and reeds player Matt Lavelle and the guitarist and vocalist Kyp Malone. 917-267-0368, roulette.org CHUCHO VALDÉS WITH CHICK

COREA at the Rose Theater (Nov. 15-16, 8 p.m.). A son of Bebo Valdés, one the most popular Cuban bandleaders from the mid-20th century, the pianist Chucho Valdés first came to prominence in his own right in the 1970s with Irakere, a band that fused Afro-Caribbean tradition with American rock and jazz. In recent decades he has become known as a dean of Cuban pianism, typically working in more traditional and Latin jazzoriented styles. At Jazz at Lincoln Center’s main stage this weekend, Valdés will begin each night with a set of solo piano, followed by one in duet with Corea, an eminent American jazz pianist. 212-721-6500, jazz.org BRANDEE YOUNGER at the Miller Theater (Nov. 16, 8 p.m.). Over the past 10 years, Younger has almost single-handedly made a persuasive argument for the harp’s role in contemporary jazz. She draws from the crisply rhythmic style of Dorothy Ashby and the immersive, swirling sound of Alice Coltrane — the jazz harp’s towering historical figures — but also uses a hip-hop mentality to think about how different instruments can come together in a hypnotic groove. At this concert she’s likely to draw from her latest album, the impressive “Soul Awakening.” Her band will feature Chelsea Baratz on saxophone, Anne Drummond on flute, Dezron Douglas on bass and E. J. Strickland on drums. 212-854-7799, millertheatre.com GIOVANNI RUSSONELLO

Laurie Kilmartin and Jackie Kashian, who have performed stand-up since the 1980s, started their own podcast in 2015. Kilmartin is a writer for “Conan”; Kashian has a half-hour Comedy Central special to her credit and often tours with Maria Bamford.

NOVEMBER 16, 2019 By Aileen Kwun

The French designer Mathieu Lehanneur is known for creating both artful furniture and lighting as well as electronics, with a rare technical craftsmanship that combines art and design with science and technology. For his latest presentation, at New York’s Salon Art + Design fair, on view through Nov. 18 at the Park Avenue Armory, Lehanneur responded to the history of the building itself— a late 19th-century brick Gothic Revival structure, formerly the headquarters for the 7th regiment of the New York Militia—with “Soldier’s Retreat,” a collection of objects that embody the natural elements, seemingly frozen in time.

https://mailchi.mp/slowdownmedia/newsletter-111619?e=f80de3d387


Among the works on view are Lehanneur’s weighty, hunky Ocean Memories marble tables, which mimic the fluid, rippling surface of an ocean with unreal detail—created by translating ocean currents into digital forms using 3-D software—and the luscious Inverted Gravity cabinets, made from solid marble and perched atop a cluster of blown-glass baubles, toeing the line between solidity and lightness. “I wanted to create a space absolutely isolated from the turmoil of the world,” he says. “A place where time is suspended, an Eden’s Garden. Like a peace found after the battlefields.” Here, three other things to keep an eye out for at the fair this weekend: 1. Apparatus Studio’s Interlude collection of intricate, handcrafted lighting and furniture takes a page from the world of couture, featuring delicate embroidered patterns that are inspired by a musical score and the perceptual phenomenon of synesthesia. In the Library.

Auctions, antique fairs and diverting activities, chosen by Gareth Wyn Davies

Collecting and connoisseurship are the mots du jour in auction houses, not just the pages of this issue of WoI. Every other dispatch from the former seems to announce another landmark sale, the magic words ‘The Collection of…’ adding a certain glamour to proceedings. Perhaps the most charming comes courtesy of an American couple (actually anonymous, but no matter) who spent 40 years sating their passion for British studio pottery, from Hans Cooper to Lucie Rie, on countless buying trips. The pieces they amassed will be auctioned online by Maak Contemporary Ceramics, with a viewing in London, from 11-14 NOVEMBER. Details: 01628 290050; maaklondon.com. Equally acquisitive were the Chinese/American architect IM Pei and his wife, Eileen, who spent a good deal of their 72-year marriage – and money – shopping for art. Works by Alexander Calder, Willem de Kooning and Henry Moore all feature in Christie’s sales of their spoils, kicking off in New York on 12 NOVEMBER. Details: christies.com. Still in the Big Apple, you can pick up a Paul Klee or a jazzy Josef Albers on 13 and 14 NOVEMBER when Phillips auctions some of the design legend Florence Knoll Bassett’s belongings. Details: 001 212 940 1200; phillips.com. Finally, back in Blighty, on 20 NOVEMBER Bonhams presents paintings, furniture, antiques and books from the interior designer Nicky Haslam’s former Hampshire hidey-hole, the Hunting Lodge. Look out for the odd Leon Kossoff, Eric Gill and – bien sûr – Cecil Beaton. Details: 020 7447 7447; bonhams.com. Happy bidding!

Salon Art + Design Fair 2019: 7 Highlights You Must See A cheat sheet to the 56 galleries from 13 different countries showing at the premier design fair this weekend. By Olivia Martin

The ​Salon Art + Design returns for its eighth edition at New York’s Park Avenue Armory. A fixture on the holiday gallery-hopping circuit, the fair is known for taking advantage of the Armory’s cavernous Drill Hall by encouraging exhibitors to create full installations that envelop visitors in their respective worlds. Unlike many art fairs who show either furniture or art, the Salon mixes all of its offerings, from vintage and modern furniture to 20th and 21st century blue-chip art together. This holistic approach, along with its exhibitor list—56 galleries from 13 different countries—is part of a general strategy to draw in younger collectors who tend to collect furniture and art in equal measure.

Twenty First Gallery Twenty First Gallery offers an ever – changing display of art and furnishings exclusively created by European artists.

IMAGE COURTESY OF ALEXANDRA MOR

The leading character of any story is a protagonist, the one making the key decisions, the one who is advocating for change. As the conversation on sustainability becomes global, Vogue Italia has scouted the world’s greatest talents to join forces as protagonists of an important cause. What started as a platform to promote a new generation of gifted jewelers is now “The Protagonist”, a top-tier event leading the conversation about responsible practices in fine jewelry making. Under the creative helm of Haute Couture jewelry designer Alexandra Mor, The Protagonist sends out a powerful message: “Our intent with this show is to inspire and lead our industry, retailers and collectors alike.” Mor has raised the bar even further in this year’s edition, pioneering a shift towards responsible sourcing, inviting the designers to create their finest work using ethically mined gemstones, and recycled precious metals. The outstanding pieces created for The Protagonist will be on show at the Salon of Art + Design from November 14-18th at New York’s Park Avenue Armory. Empowered by the past editions’ overwhelming response, the event is broadening its scope, hosting a series of events including a panel discussion lead by The Protagonist designers themselves. The talk will focus on creativity, mindful design, and the ethical duty to foster change in the luxury industry by encouraging practices that are not harmful to the environment. After the opening reception, attended by guest collectors and industry luminaries, The Salon will be open to the public November 15-18th, during which The Protagonist’s designs will be displayed and available for purchase exclusively in the Mary Divver room. 10% of the proceeds will go to Space for Giants, a charity dedicated to the protection of African elephants and the conservation of landscapes which they are dependent on. What began as a trend on the red carpet has now become a way of life, crucial to the future of our planet: The Protagonist—the event where creativity meets responsibility.

She was named Creative Director of Vogue Italia’s annual Protagonist exhibition and has since grown the event year over year by bringing together designers, artists, brands, and collectors who believe in the ability of fine jewelry to positively impact the fields of sustainability and preservation. For the 2019 edition of the Protagonist, Mor presents a curated selection of her work from past and current partnerships that embrace exceptional craftsmanship and fair, low-impact practices, including this new One-Of-a-Kind Natural HexagonCut 20 Carat Emeralds & Diamonds Wide Eternity Band using responsibly mined Muzo-Mine Colombian Emeralds.

walking home with my dear friend Manuela, I saw a stunning Frangipani tree: drawn by its intoxicating beauty and aroma, I picked one flower for her.” A recreation of his experience, The Frangipani Earring Set includes a single floral ear wrap & stem with a pair of petal earrings. “It has been a painstaking process: our artisans meticulously recreated the petals by hand, one by one carving the Tagua seeds with the finest detail. We used Persian saffron, a natural dye, to recreate the various shades of yellow, embellishing each petal with natural yellow and white diamonds sourced from conflict-free zones. The stem is a delicately carved piece of recycled mango wood, scented with natural Frangipani essence, linked to an anatomically designed attachment in 18K gold, recycled from old jewelry pieces. A leaf-shaped clip is fixed halfway to the stem to stabilize the flower. This set is a tribute to Mother Nature.”

Roberto Faraone Mennella and Amedeo Scognamiglio, the dynamic creative duo behind the Faraone Mennella brand, know a thing or two about timeless beauty and heritage. Both born and raised at the foot of Mount Vesuvius, they grew up absorbing the Neapolitan Baroque visual splendors. In 2002, they launched “Stella”, their all-Italian-handmade first collection that took the world of jewelry by storm, and garnered much attention from international collectors. Infused with effortless confidence, Italian heritage, and New York pop influence, Faraone Mennella’s collections speak of whimsical luxury, strong craftsmanship and unrestrained creativity. “Our clients are becoming our Muses, as every single piece is designed with them in mind: our creative mission would be vain if we only delivered what the market wants. We wish to bring art back into jewelry, presenting each piece as an artwork, paying homage to our artistic Italian heritage,” they say, speaking as one. The latest Faraone Mennella collection, “Abracadabra” is comprised of unique, fashion-forward pieces: each design is a true one-of-a-kind masterpiece, inspired by the designers’ personal life and the many architectural references of their hometown, Naples. For The Protagonist, Faraone Mennella introduces the AMEDEO collection of original cameos designed by Amedeo Scognamiglio. Carved from a genuine shell and set in precious metal, these cameos reveal Amedeo’s inventive, humorous streak: “I try to create hand crafted jewels which make you smile; unexpected, a bit sarcastic and controversial, but always with the very Italian handmade touch: It is important to buy jewelry with heirloom quality, something your grandchildren will remember you for.”

These prehistoric elements - dug out in the Bone Valley Formation, an archeological site in Florida- are the inspiration of her latest collection comprised of twelve unique pieces. Chiara fits the fossils into bold settings; the design’s sharp lines vibrate with harmonious combinations of sapphires and diamonds…: elegant yet utterly contemporary. For The Protagonist, she presents a stunning necklace, fitted with fossil sandbar shark teeth, dating back to the Pliocene and Miocene epochs. Chiara engraved “Respect Your Nature” on the back of the design: a reminder and an exhortation to value all that is precious.

Necklace in 18K white gold, 925 sterling silver, blue sapphires, diamonds. Fossil shark teeth Carcharinus Plumbeus, sandbar shark, Pliocene-Miocene epoch, appx. 5 million years old.

Italian-born Chiara Passoni believes that, in a previous life, she probably was a drop of salt water… a tear maybe or a tiny drop of water in the vast oceans. As a professional diver, she spent many years in the Red Sea, learning to love, protect and respect our precious oceans. Although she majored in business management, she embarked on a different and more creative journey: “I love to describe myself as an eclectic self-taught person who is able to interpret many different objects in an uncommon way.” Her creations encompass most crafts- drawing, design, painting, woodcarving … - but her favorite activity is creating unique, beautiful jewels. Her most original, sought-after designs stem from her deep connection with Mother Earth’s natural treasures: rare woods, uncommon precious stones, repurposed

For The Protagonist, Chris Davies presents the fantastic “Two Breaths” brooch entirely “hand-woven” in 18K gold, inspired by the Hawaiian Creation Chant. Chris Davies jewels are ethically and sustainably sourced, using all recycled 18K gold as well as conflict free diamonds, reclaimed stones and repurposed antique and vintage elements. Most importantly to the designer, the pieces are made locally by hand in his New York studio. Davies fabricates his work alongside a small and dedicated in-house team: “The couture atelier is a model of ethical and sustainable practice and this is how we make our jewelry,” says Davies. “We work together, we eat together and we labor lovingly over these pieces for months at a time. This is not about mass output or fast fashion. This is about nourishing the human spirit, both for the makers and the collector.”

The “Two Breaths” brooch is entirely handmade from 18K recycled gold.

From the beginning, Chris Davies’ approach to design has been intellectual as well as technical, inspired and informed by the knowledge he has acquired in different fields. A Vassar alumnus and Parsons graduate, the Los Angeles-born designer fuses haute couture dressmaking with goldsmithing techniques to create one-of-a-kind statement pieces. Davies has built a cross-disciplinary studio practice with a distinctive visual language that is immediately recognizable. At once ancient and modern, his designs have a sculptural presence that elevates the work beyond fashion. Known for his innovative approach to jewelry making, Chris has developed the “woven granulation” technique, a fascinating and complex process, inspired by cloth weaving, where myriads of tiny gold spheres are literally woven into supple floating patterns… The result is a tour de force of skill and creativity.

Inspired by Haute Couture’s finest techniques comes an enchanting collection with deep aesthetic and metaphysical purpose: jewelry for body and soul.

“Lily of the Valley” Brooch - Tsavorite, colored sapphire, chrysoberyl, rose-cut diamond, diamond, 18K electroplated gold.

Chinese born Feng Ji grew up surrounded by art: some of her ancestors were painters at the imperial court, and her parents are keen collectors of jewelry and art. The young Feng followed in their footsteps almost naturally, making their passion her own. Feng attended some of the most prestigious gemology institutes in Europe, earning her Master’s Degree from the University of Arts London. She launched her eponymous brand, Feng J Haute Joaillerie in 2016, aiming to create unique high jewelry for the younger generation. In less than three years, she has won the heartfelt admiration of collectors and the media because of her unrivalled talent of creating true masterpieces at an impressive age. Named “Jeweler of the 21st Century” by The New York Times, Feng refers to her creative process as “painting with gemstones.” Her one-of-a-kind jewels are like canvases on which the Chinese artist/ designer mixes fantastic color combinations. Rubies, sapphires, emeralds, and colored diamonds are like pigments on a palette: Feng plays with light, hues and shadows like a painter, treating each gemstone as a lively brush-stroke… Moreover, Feng has reached new levels of technical prowess by introducing the “double-rose-cut” - a daring, cutting technique-, and the “Floating Set”- a setting style to make the metal set extremely light and almost invisible, as if the gems were floating. For The Protagonist, Feng J presents an exquisite brooch inspired by Claude Monet’s gardens in Giverny: a poetic homage to the undisputed master of Impressionism from an emerging master of high jewelry.

A Natural Pearl Tassel Necklace set with rose cuts and old mine diamonds with diamond briolettes at the bottom.

For nine generations now, The Kasliwal family has been handcrafting jewelry that challenges the traditional Indian artistry by merging the best craft of the East and the West. The Kasliwals and their team of skilled artisans have transcended time, passing on traditions and teaching techniques, dating back several centuries. Appointed crown jewelers to the region’s Maharajas, the Kasliwals’ reputation grew from local jewelers of Jaipur, to world class revered masters. Their jaw-dropping designs have showcased at several museums including New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art. Staying true to its Rajasthani roots, the family opened a fairy-tale-like place in Jaipur, aptly named the Gem Palace, which has become a go-to treasure trove for jewelry aficionados, as well as the brand’s namesake. “To hold a Gem Palace creation is to unfold an entire universe within the palm of your hand” says Siddharth Kasliwal, the brand’s Artistic Director. Strikingly lavish settings, fitted with the most precious gemstones, blossom into stunningly elaborate designs, imbued with a modern aesthetic that appeals to true connoisseurs of fine jewelry. Central to all designs is the old belief that jewelry is not just a feast for the eye; the body of the wearer, “should enjoy seeing and feeling beauty in that which rests against it.” As a result, the back of any Munnu The Gem Palace creation is handcrafted with the same degree of care and attention to detail as the front. For The Protagonist, Munnu The Gem Palace presents a magnificent necklace “inspired by the beauty of our Earth and its natural resources,” says Siddharth: A whimsically enchanting design with hypnotic qualities, worthy of a maharaja…

Organic design elements weave into the symbolism of each piece: Katey Brunini creates fine jewelry that truly embodies the power and grace of nature. In her latest collection, K. Brunini explores the use of carved Cassis Rufa - a cameo shell commonly found on the shores of Madagascar-, and 1920’s repurposed rock crystal. The collection seeks to add to the story of human interaction and infatuation with nature’s treasures, each piece connecting the wearer to the wonders of Mother Earth. For the Protagonist, Katey Brunini presents two delicate designs that represent the combination of man, shell, and mineral, linked via the genetic structure of the double helix spiral in 18K gold: a shining symbol of living united in harmony.

Brunini’s desire to immerse herself in history, Mother Earth, cultures and art forms defined her creative process from an early age. Strongly committed to preserving our environment for future generations, she takes great pride in crafting jewelry that is meant to be worn & cherished by likeminded unique individuals. Known for traveling the world in search of artistic, spiritual, and ethereal inspiration, the coastal California-based designer is very vocal about the most pressing environmental issues. She is specifically passionate about protecting the oceans from plastics, “It’s in my DNA,” she says. Her jewelry speaks of sustainability and reconnecting with nature in an age of technology

flora and fauna,… They have all become part of her intoxicating mix. Slightly provocative, yet truly wearable, her jewels are conversation pieces with a story to tell. The “Curiosity Cabinet” Collection is inspired by the 16th century wunderkammer, the famous cabinets filled with notable objects found while traveling. Lydia’s own curiosity cabinet holds a collection of large shells, repurposed pieces of amber and lava, and ancient agate cameos. For The Protagonist, Lydia created a whimsically eccentric bangle using ancient glyptics updated with messages from the 21st century: the sacred “ankh” (the ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic symbol of life) and the French phrase “Gala Ma Muse” (a reference to Dali’s wife and muse Gala) come together to shed a single tear…

A modern-day Renaissance woman, Lydia Courteille is a scientist, collector, gemologist and traveler, but above all she is an antique jewelry dealer turned jewelry designer. Her Parisian boutique, located near Place Vendôme, has been the go-to place for years when serendipitously searching for ancient treasures. A keen collector herself, Lydia Courteille started creating her original designs over twenty years ago, hoping to share her passion, knowledge, and eccentric taste with others. Since then, she has created more than 50 collections, each one different from the other, but all imbued with bold humor and whimsical romanticism. Thanks to her wondrous imagination, Courteille is inspired by the cultural imagery of the past, reinterpreting it with a twist: mysterious symbols, archaeological references,

such as transformative jewelry, painted enamel, and pave details, paired with her use of intricate shapes inspired by nature, mark her signature style. Her unique jewelry is designed to be worn and shown off, as it is not meant to be stored in a safe. The first memorable design conceived by Elizaveta Borzunova is the ‘Swallows’ palm bracelet—designed & presented exclusively for The Protagonist. She originally made the bracelet for herself out of frustration, as she could not find jewelry she liked. That first palm bracelet was an instant success worldwide, and now, this unique hand decoration is the brand’s signature piece. Liza Borzaya’s focus has never changed: to produce high quality yet timeless jewelry with transformative designs that can change both in appearance and in function regardless of changing fashions.

A marvelous world of wonders comes to life in this “Curiosity Cabinet” Collection, where past and present treasures transform into innovative, whimsical designs.

Since the early eighties, Peggy Stephaich Guinness has been creating jewelry for the sophisticated and confident women who love her modern interpretation of stones and her innovative take on timeless designs. Peggy’s striking one-of-a-kind pieces effortlessly incorporate purity, comfort and innovation with a touch of industrial nostalgia. As a gem expert, she enjoys the excitement of searching for and selecting the most uncommon stones. However, unlike most designers who design settings to fit the stones, Peggy cuts the stones to fit the settings, something that has become a distinctive trait of her creative process. Influenced by her world travels – Europe, Asia, and Brazil, where she lived for many years– she draws her inspiration from the traditional crafts and cultures of each country, challenging her bold imagination to reinterpret classic pieces of jewelry. Her designs speak a language of fluid shapes that are accented by pure and unusual gems, as shown in her latest collection—featuring a pair of amethyst encrusted earrings, a bracelet composed of blue topaz stones suspended by an 18 karat yellow gold wire, and a bold reinterpretation of classic pearl and diamond earrings. For The Protagonist, Peggy presents one of her signature pieces, the Deep Blue Kyanite Bead “Torsade” necklace, highlighted with an industrialinspired clasp, made of white gold and surrounded by blue sapphires cabochons. A striking conversation piece that embodies Peggy’s contemporary approach to wearable fine jewelry: her designs easily transition from jeans by day to cocktail dresses by night… Effortless elegance—it’s what women want.

YAIR SHIMANSKY Hidden in the heart of Africa, Tanzanite is one of the rarest, most precious gemstones, now the inspiration for a meaningful true-blue collection.

1967, this famously iridescent violet and blue gemstone is carefully coaxed from the earth with hammer and chisel, an artisanal process that ensures a sustainable and respectful interaction with nature. Moreover, Shimansky Tanzanite is sourced directly from the Maasai tribe, the undisputed caretakers of this rare gemstone. Ultimately, the brand has built a longstanding personal relationship with the local Maasai tribe to obtain sparse gemstone. For The Protagonist, Yair Shimansky presents a breathtaking design featuring a rare Blue brilliant cut Tanzanite held in 18 Karat ethically mined South African Gold. Tanzanite is known as a single generation gemstone, that will run out in 2-3 decades, every piece is destined to become an heirloom and collector’s item. This contemporary setting echoes, an age-old Maasai tradition of surrounding the heart of a village by a circle that guards and protects all that is precious.

Renowned for his bespoke designs and highly innovative diamond cuts, Yair Shimansky wanted to build a creative bridge between his famed Cape Town studio and the other side of the hemisphere. Now, from the elegant and newly opened showroom pristinely located on Fifth Avenue in New York, the brand is introducing its unique designs to a wider audience of collectors and connoisseurs. Besides his famed signature cut diamonds, Yair Shimansky is known as one of the first jewelers to shine a light on Tanzanite, having immediately grasped its inherent, priceless beauty and symbolic value. “There is a part of me in every creation” - he says “But Tanzanite is unique, magical and has an extraordinary story behind it.” A thousand times rarer than diamonds, Tanzanite comes from a single finite vein in the foothills of majestic Mount Kilimanjaro. Formed over 550 million years ago, yet discovered as recently as of

A couple of days after releasing his piercingly melancholic single “Persephone,” Tamino-Amir Moharam Fouad got an Instagram message from a certain @LanadelRey. “She said she thought my voice was beautiful,” he explains, sounding astonished still. “I couldn’t believe it.” Months later, the 22-year-old was onstage opening for del Rey at Malahide Castle in Dublin. The singer, who performs as Tamino, tends to have that effect on people, turning them into rabid fans upon their first listen. Though the attention from the platinum-album artist took him by surprise, a certain worldliness runs in his genes. Tamino—named after the hero of The Magic Flute—is the grandson of iconic singer and actor Moharam Fouad, perhaps the man who most defined Egypt’s golden age of cinema in the 1960s. But Tamino, who grew up in Antwerp (his Belgian mother and Egyptian father divorced when he was a young child), says that he didn’t really

feel the weight of this legacy: “Where I was raised he wasn’t famous.” In September, the singer—who speaks Dutch, French, and English—kicked off a North American tour, showcasing new music, a deluxe, expanded version of his debut album, Amir, which came out last year. That tour will eventually take him to Egypt, where he will perform for the first time. (Reading keeps him grounded during times of constant travel; he’s just finished the first volume of Karl Ove Knausgaard’s My Struggle.) Influenced by Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan, the music marries undulating, drawn-out vocals with a vulnerable ethereality. “I don’t really look around me at what is hip,” he says. “If I were to add in some trap hi-hats, maybe I’d make more money. But that’s just not how I write.” His new music samples some of his grandfather’s old tapes. “They’re not recognizable anymore,” he says. “They’re just these weird soundscapes, but they come from something that’s very close to me.”—L.R.

“We didn’t have art in our schools, so instead I did graffiti,” explains Roberto Lugo, a ceramist raised in the Kensington neighborhood of Philadelphia. Lugo eventually sought out a formal fine arts education, including a residency at a studio in Kecskemét, Hungary, which equipped him with the technical skills to apply icons of the street culture of his youth (Air Jordans, bubble letters, portraits of the Notorious B.I.G.) to classically sculpted porcelain. At this month’s Salon Art + Design show in Manhattan, Lugo will debut new objects in his Stuntin’ series. “Historically, anthropology used ceramics to let us know what was happening,” he says. “I see my role as an artist but also as an archivist. I don’t want things we are doing in my community to get lost.”—LILAH RAMZI

14 must-see exhibits at Salon Art + Design in New York Vintage, modern and contemporary art and design for days. By Francesca Wallace

An entire window of glass cased in steel, designed by Paolo Venini in the 1950s. This year Salon Art + Design in New York will run from November 14-18, showcasing vintage, modern and contemporary art and design from 56 of the world’s most influential galleries. According to Jill Bokor, executive director of the fair, these are the 14 exhibits you should not miss.

https://www.vogue.com.au/vogue-living/design/14-mustsee-exhibits-at-salon-art-design-in-new-yor k/image-gallery/8d369ded9b80764e03b76a838cdd1018


Painting by Ermilov Vasilli. 1. ABA Gallery Our new Russian paintings gallery, ABA, will show 20th century blue-chip art, a first for Salon, including the masterful piece above by Vasili Ermilov. Ermilov was called the Kharkov Picasso. He was very important in the development of Ukrainian and Russian avant-garde.

Frank Lloyd Wright table. 2. Bernard Goldberg Fine Arts Last year, Bernard Goldberg actually had an entire booth dedicated to Frank Lloyd Wright. This year they are showing this table, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1956 for the Price Tower in Bartlesville, Oklahoma. Price Tower was originally proposed by Wright in 1925 as an apartment building in New York City - built in 1952 the tower is Wright’s only skyscraper. This table, with Wright’s signature horizontal design and inspired by the broad and flat landscape of America’s Midwest, was retained as a treasure by the Price family.

Mid-century Italian chair by Franco Albini. 3. Casati Gallery A first time exhibitor, Casati Gallery has created an homage to the best of mid-century Italian design. The chair above was originally in Casa Carati, developed by architect Franco Albini. The only difference between the living room settee today in comparison to how it was in 1945 is that it was then covered in green fabric with red threads.

Console by​ ​Gustave Gautier. 4. Demisch Danant This console came from a house entirely designed by Gautier in 1960 in a prestigious neighbourhood of Cannes named "La Californie." Picasso owned a house near there at the time.

Béraudière by Jim Dine, 2003.

5. Galerie de la Béraudière Jim Dine Hearts is beloved for its romantic qualities, a central theme in Dine’s work. While hearts are universally recognizable, Dine has laid undisputed claim to the shape, suggesting boundless possibilities endowed with complex meaning. Together with other everyday forms, including bathrobes and tools, Dine’s work is often placed within the realm of Pop Art but Dine never considered himself a member of this movement.

Table on rifle legs from the Soviet Union, 1920. 6. Heritage International Gallery Heritage International Gallery is the first Russian gallery to participate in Salon. Even though the Russian Revolution of 1917 and its consequences were extremely dramatic, for a couple of decades artists were offered unprecedented possibilities, and propaganda art was among them. Not only was it commissioned by the State, but it was also explored by artists as a new way of creating a language able to effectively communicate with the people. The table on rifle legs is a perfect example of this style and state of mind.

Brutalist cabinet from 1970s America. 7. Magen H Gallery Brutalism came into fashion in the 1960s and 1970s. Best known for ragged edges and industrial appearance, the trend was embraced for it’s mixed materials and rough hewn edges. This cabinet embraces all that one seeks in a brutalist piece.

Chandelier by Robert Goossens for Mademoiselle Chanel. 8. Maison Rapin The model for this chandelier was created by Robert Goossens for Mademoiselle Chanel in the ‘60s. This chandelier was edited in the early ‘80s. The chain and heart pay homage to some of Mademoiselle Chanel’s favorite symbols.

Table by Pietro Chiesa, 1935. 9. Nicholas Kilner The table in walnut and blue-mirrored glass was designed by Pietro Chiesa shortly after he was invited by Gio Ponti to become artistic director of the newly formed and highly influential Fontana Arte in 1932.

Furniture by Geraldo de Barros, 1955. 10. Side Gallery Side Gallery is another newcomer to Salon this year, focusing on Latin American historical design. This piece was designed by Gerardo De Barros who designed furniture based on his constructive references related to Concrete Art, serving from 1954 to 1961 as one of the main furniture designers in SĂŁo Paulo, Brazil.

Settee and armchairs by Pierre Chareau, 1923. 11. Galerie Vallois It is quite rare to find a complete set with settee and armchairs of this quality and it is easy to recognise in the design of these pieces Chareau’s genius as an architect and master of proportions.

Chandelier by​ ​Koloman Moser, 1905. 12. Yves Macaux Yves Macaus has been a Salon exhibitor since our very first show. He is one of the great dealers of Vienna Secessionist material in the world, known for his discerning eye. Kolomon Moser was a leading designer of the period and one of the co-founders of the Wiener Werkstatte movement.

This chandelier perfectly exemplifies the best characteristics of early Viennese 20th century design.

An entire window of glass cased in steel, designed by Paolo Venini in the 1950s. 13. Karl Kemp This year Karl Kemp is presenting an entire window of glass cased in steel designed by Paolo Venini in the 1950s. Years later, once the building was being renovated, the window was removed and turned into a screen. This piece would look incredible repurposed as part of wall in home.

Armchair by RoWin Atelier, 2019. 14. Twenty First Gallery While this armchair in particular pays homage to French craftsmanship, the prototype of the Conq armchair was created using virtual reality (VR 3D), embracing new technologies to create an exquisite design. https://www.vogue.com.au/vogue-living/design/14-mustsee-exhibits-at-salon-art-design-in-new-yor k/image-gallery/8d369ded9b80764e03b76a838cdd1018

Salon Art + Design enters cosmic and dramatic realms Exhibitors to look out for at Salon Art + Design (14-18 November) at New York’s Park Avenue Armory By Siska Lyssens

Soon, New York’s Park Avenue Armory will again abound with pieces of design and works of fine art, curated by 56 international galleries this year for the eighth edition of Salon Art + Design. The fair offers a highly contextual premise of a considered mixing and matching of vintage, modern and contemporary objects with a thread between tradition and experimentation. Below, we select a handful of highlights that progress this aesthetic, including local talent, first time showcases and more.

https://www.wallpaper.com/design/salon-art-design-2019-highlights


Friedman Benda

Friedman Benda’s drawing room setting, designed by Leila Arruda, will reflect Salon’s mission of mirroring the way people approach the decorative aspects of their homes today: with attention to craft and a juxtaposition of textures. For this showcase, Israeli designer Raphael Navot has created an oak console of fluid, sober lines, titled Aleatoric (pictured). Jonathan Trayte’s playfully bronze painted corn, pear and lemon and Chris Schanck’s idiosyncratic upholstered shell chairs – amongst other pieces – add colour and drama to the scene.

https://www.wallpaper.com/design/salon-art-design-2019-highlights


Casati Gallery

Drawing from past exponents of Italian design, Casati Gallery was inspired by the 1994 Guggenheim Museum exhibition ‘The Italian Metamorphosis, 1943-1968’ for its exhibition. The Chicago-based gallery takes an architectural drawing of the exhibition by architect Gae Aulenti as a starting point, to paint a wider picture of the visual culture of Italy in the postwar era, showcasing furniture by Franco Albini, Carol Rama, Carlo Mollino and Studio BBPR.

https://www.wallpaper.com/design/salon-art-design-2019-highlights


Galerie BSL

Probing the blurred boundaries between design and sculpture into ever more whimsical territory, Paris-based Galerie BSL presents Pia Maria Raeder’s new STARDUST collection comprising of a four-seater bench, two-seater benches and a mirror. The German artist often borrows from nature’s organic forms to create her otherworldly yet functional pieces, and for this collection she utilises hand-carved beechwood elements coated with silver-based metal and waxed concrete.

https://www.wallpaper.com/design/salon-art-design-2019-highlights


Mathieu Lehanneur

Amid the bustle of the Salon, French designer Mathieu Lehanneur has created a place of refuge. His ‘Soldier’s Retreat’ installation within the historic Colonel’s Room, is ‘a space absolutely isolated from the turmoil of the world’, he says, ‘like peace found after the battlefields.’ Here, shown together with his new collection ‘Inverted Gravity,’ pieces that radiate stillness and lightness, like his cloud-shaped Familyscape couch and a green marble console anchored by wide column-like legs, merge human history with natural history in Lehanneur’s signature visually poetic style. https://www.wallpaper.com/design/salon-art-design-2019-highlights


Apparatus – Library Room

Whether it’s throwing a decadent party or the ingenious lighting inside its showrooms, Manhattanbased design studio Apparatus turns heads with its opulent, detail-driven and narrative aesthetic. For Salon, the studio – founded by Gabriel Hendifar and Jeremy Anderson – presents its desirable world through the Interlude collection – furnishings that wouldn’t look out of place in a modernist music hall. The decorative yet measured approach of the studio will come to life through pieces like the hand-embroidered hanging lamp and a cabinet made of eel and brass.

https://www.wallpaper.com/design/salon-art-design-2019-highlights


Wonderglass

For WonderGlass’ Salon debut, the London-based gallery asked artistic duo J&PEG to create a site-specific installation. ‘Dark matter’ is composed of artificial spaces in which visitors can explore mankind’s relationship to the universe and unravel its mysteries. Glass pieces created by studiopluz, Gwenael Nicolas and Curiosity create a cosmic architecture that filters light and shadow, and blends together colours and geometries at the edge of the unexplored. §

Jill Bokor on the Eighth Edition of Salon Art + Design By Katy Donoghue

Returning for its eight year, Salon Art + Design will be open at New York City’s Park Avenue Armory from November 14—18. Featuring presentations by 56 leading art and design galleries from 14 different countries, the fair offers a highly curated selection of vintage, modern, and contemporary collectible design and fine art. The only international fair of its caliber to intermingle styles, periods, and genres, Salon is the top destination for both new and seasoned collectors to experience pieces presented in environments that mirror the way we live today.

https://www.whitewall.art/design/jill-bokor-eighth-edition-salon-art-design


To hear more about this year’s edition, Whitewall spoke to the fair’s Executive Director, Jill Bokor. WHITEWALL: What should we expect from this year’s edition of The Salon Art + Design? Is there anything new as far as programming or setup goes? JILL BOKOR: While the restrictions of the Armory doesn’t allow us much margin to change the structure of Salon, the fair continues to be ever more diverse in the material exhibited by our 56 top international galleries. However, the Armory’s historic rooms will be filled with vibrant, innovative design unlike any we’ve had before. Lalique returns with an installation that includes custom wallpaper from Fromental paired with the crystals for which Lalique is world renowned. We’re also honored that French design genius Mathieu Lehanneur has chosen to launch his New York presence with a site-specific installation at Salon. He will be joined by Apparatus, the elegant New York studio, which is exhibiting a new line of limited edition pieces, and Frank Pollaro, yacht designer to the stars, who is premiering a line of work at the entrance to the fair. There are talks associated with all of these designers that should not be missed! Overall, these installations elevate Salon’s programming to an exciting new level. WW: What can you tell us about the narratives or dialogue being created between art and design, as well as vintage and contemporary works, specific to this year’s fair? JB: In past editions of Salon, trends tend to make themselves known or validated by the material on view. Interestingly, this year there isn’t a specific narrative that can be affirmatively identified In fact, what we’re seeing more than ever is inclusivity. In terms of materiality, wood is being used by contemporary designers like Michael Hurwitz at Wexler Gallery and John Makepeace at Sarah Myerscough. Marble remains insanely popular and can be seen in new works at Galerie BSL and Negropontes. Bronze is frequently a connector between art and design as is glass. One of our new exhibitors, Wonderglass from London works with renowned designers such as John Pawson and Nendo to create unexpected iterations of glass in design. Similarly, The Future Perfect presents ceramic functional design by Reinaldo Sanguino. As ever at Salon, the contemporary pays homage to what came before and there will be lots of reminders of how greatly the 20th century has influence our contemporary sensibility. WW: Are there any fair first timers we should keep an eye out for? JB: New offerings will include Brazilian design featured in the booths of newcomers, Peter Blake Gallery of California and Legado Arte, our first South American gallery. First time exhibitor SIDE gallery of Barcelona specializes in a range of Latin American designers. New, too, and very exciting to us is the inclusion of Russian design and art, brought respectively by Moscow’s Heritage Gallery and New York’s ABA. Thus, for the first time we will present a range of Russian material from the early and mid-20th centuries. Exciting too, is our first 3-D created work designed by Audrey Large and presented by Nilufar Gallery. So it’s safe to say that we continue to widen the lens of the fair to look backward and forward.

https://www.whitewall.art/design/jill-bokor-eighth-edition-salon-art-design


WW: Are there any solo or curated presentations we can expect this year? JB: Our Collectors lounge has been designed specifically for Salon by Grazyna Solland of the eponymous London showroom. Grazyna, whose pieces are highly sought in Europe and the Middle East, makes her inaugural presence in New York at Salon. The lounge, a sophisticated riot of color, pattern and materials has a sensibility unlike anything else at this year’s fair! WW: We’ve come to look forward to the jewelry exhibitors each year. Will there be a focus on jewelry again at this year’s edition? JB: This year’s jewelry exhibition, The Protaganist, is all about sustainability in jewelry. Seventeen international jewelry designers will present work incorporating only sustainable material. Each piece has been designed especially for Salon. Excitingly, the jewelers have been chosen and the exhibition curated by Vogue Italia, so we are assured of something spectacular!

Robb Recommends: If You’re in New York This Weekend, Don’t Miss the Salon Art + Design Show Calling all culture vultures. By Helena Madden

The eighth edition of Salon Art + Design will descend upon New York City this month, bringing with it 56 galleries’ worth of vintage and contemporary works. Our first stop? Frida Fjellman’s “Crystal Atmosphere,” a site-specific exhibition that’s a veritable forest of the designer’s prismatic lights. Each of the nearly 35 multicolored prisms will be linked to one or more of its brethren to surround the viewer, their bulbs flickering as if the light were being passed from one to the other. “Walking among them, one gets the feeling that they’re small,” says Fjellman. “As if they are a child again.” The Swedish creative’s immersive work—plus that of many other luminaries—will be on view from November 14 to 18 at the Park Avenue Armory.
