In November 2012, The Salon: Art + Design premiered to rave reviews.   Sanford Smith, the eminent New York fair organizer, created the Salon in conjunction with the Syndicat National des Antiquaires, Europe’s most prestigious dealer association.  Last year’s Salon was enthusiastically received, The New York Times calling it, “a museum in the making at the Park Avenue Armory.”

The Salon hosts an eclectic mix of art, design and decorative art objects from 53 exhibitors in 7 countries. Material includes modern and contemporary furniture, lighting and decorative arts from modern master designers and architects side by side with work from intriguing designers on the rise.  Similarly, the most important artists from the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries are joined by some of today’s most innovative young artists. Adding interest to the mix is the presence of three world-renowned ethnographic galleries from Paris.

The appeal of the Salon lies in the eclectic mix of work and elegantly curated booths, many of which have been created by well-known designers.  Its resounding is also attributed to the addition of the SNA members, many of whom had never exhibited in the United States.

Dubbed by The New York Times as “a museum in the making at the Park Avenue Armory”, this week The Salon Art + Design, once again, will aim at being the year's top fair on East 66th Street & Park.  This show is very well known to mix art, design and decorative art objects from dozens of dealers from around the globe. Of the original European dealers, many including names like, L’Arc en Seine, Carpenters Workshop Gallery, Galerie Christian Deydier, Vallois, Galerie Gmurzynska, Galerie Boulakia, Robilant + Voena, Galerie Beres, Brame + Lorenceau and Kraemer are returning.
 The new contingent of dealers includes three new ethnographic galleries: Mermoz and Galerie 1492, both specializing in Pre-Colombian art, and Galerie Lucas Ratton, a 3rd generation specialist in African Art. New entries in art include Keitelman Gallery from Brussels who features 20th century avant-garde masters and the Tasende Gallery from Los Angeles and LaJolla, who will bring outstanding 20th century paintings and sculpture. On the design front, Cristina Grajales a leading New York decorative arts dealer who cultivates emerging contemporary designers will show eclectic new work. The combination of a preponderance of 20th century fine and decorative arts, some ethnographic and antique pieces created a unique and memorable show. Of the Salon, Christian Deydier, President of the Syndicate had this to say: “I am extremely happy that the SNA, in partnership with Sanford Smith for the second time, will present some of its top dealers during The Salon in New York. Personally, I feel that the first edition of The Salon was very successful  and there has never been any question in my participation in the second edition." Benoit Sapiro of Le Minotaure, a leading Parisian art gallery commented: “it is very important for us to be present in New York. The first edition of The Salon NY was a great success and for us it was obvious to return.” The fair opens to the public on November 14th through November 18th. The Park Avenue Armory is located at 643 Park Avenue at 66th Street, New York City. Opening Night Preview Event is on Thursday, November 14th, 2013, from 6:30 – 9:30 PM, and the price is $125 per person. A portion of the proceeds will be gifted to the Kips Bay Boys and Girls Club.

AD looks forward to the San Francisco Fall Antiques Show and Salon: Art + Design in New York

Two of this fall’s major art and antiques events, one on each coast, are packed with possibilities and provenance. Sixty-plus dealers will participate in the San Francisco Fall Antiques Show (October 24–27), presenting such lovely finds as a Regency rosewood library chair from Michael Pashby Antiques in New York and an Art Deco Murano-glass chandelier from San Francisco’s Epoca. In New York, Architectural Digest will host the November 14 preview of the second annual modern-oriented Salon: Art + Design fair (November 15–18), where the highlights include a prickly Porcupine cabinet by star Chilean designer Sebastian Errazuriz, shown by Manhattan gallerist Cristina Grajales.

The Salon: Art & Design,” the smart young fair at the Park Avenue Armory this weekend, is doing an excellent job of splitting the difference between the auction-house randomness and white-cube-gallery control. As its title suggests, it is wide open in terms of material — art, craft, design, antiques from any period or place can be found here. It is up to the dealers to provide the focus, which they do. This means controlled diversity. You can bounce from concentrated views of French Art Deco to early Modern art to pre-Columbian ceramics in one aisle.

It helps that Salon is just hitting its stride, in its second year under this name, its third altogether. With 53 participants instead of the 60 or 65 usual to the armory, it is spacious and logistically relaxed. The large majority of outstanding European dealers (31), many of them from Paris, may guarantee freshness for several years to come.

 

The initial impression is of contrasting phases and styles of Modern design. Left to right, just inside the entrance, there is a lineup of impertinent decorative objects in glass and ceramics from the 1950s by the restless Ettore Sottsass, arrayed on two startling consoles made of steel and birch-tree trunks (bark intact) by Andrea Branzi, at Friedman Benda. Across the aisle, Galerie Downtown — François Laffanour is juxtaposing Charlotte Perriand’s signature shelves and a great table from the 1930s with the low-lying, nearly abstract furniture in black wood with cowhide upholstery that the Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer designed for his own home in the 1960s.

 

And a few more steps away, Galerie L’Arc en Seine has mounted an impeccable  white-on-white presentation of French Art Deco that includes parchment-covered cabinets by Jean-Michel Frank and a pair of small armchairs by Pierre Chareau upholstered in alpaca, announcing a theme of white fuzzy seating that has echoes elsewhere. Also here: a small gourdlike, lusciously glazed ceramic jar from 1892-93 by the French Art Nouveau s master Pierre-Adrien Dalpayrat with a tiny bronze stem-shaped lid by Alphonse Voisin-Delacroix. It announces the DNA of the ceramic eccentricities of our own Adrian Saxe.(...) Click on the title to read all the article on the nytimes website

New York City is the place to be this time of year. The autumn leaves are at their peak hues in Central Park just in time for Sunday’s  Marathon. Macy’s is finalizing their check lists for the Thanksgiving Day Parade. And soon, the holiday crystal star will be hung over Fifth Avenue and 57th Street.

Along with these lively and colorful New York traditions, visitors from around the world will travel to the Big Apple for the upcoming  sensational social season. Everything is about to kick into high gear, especially for art and design lovers. (...)

Another new show is The Salon: Art + Design which has become the premier international art and design fair highlighting 20th Century and contemporary art and design from 1890 to the present. The Salon: Art & Design will launch with an Opening Night Preview on Thursday, November 14th and run through November 18th. The Opening Night Preview will be hosted by Margaret Russell, Editor in Chief of Architectural Digest and Jacques Grange. The tickets are $125 per individual and $200 a couple. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to the Kips Bay Boys and Girls Club.  (http://www.thesalonny.com

The SALON: Art+Design, produced by Sanford L. Smith & Associates LTD in collaboration with The Syndicat National des Antiquaires,was premiere at the Park Avenue Armory with a Gala Preview benefitting Kips Bay Boys & Girls Club

The combination of contemporary art and design, mixed with ethnographic pieces speaks to the way people are currently furnishing their homes. The days of collecting in a single category of fine art or antiques have since passed. Adventurous collectors show a preference for mixing genres and artifacts. Reflecting the way we live now, The SALON is sure to be a destination for collectors, designers and architects with a preference for eclecticism.

THE SALON  featured 53 leading international dealers exhibiting the finest modern art and design from 1890 to the present, along with major works of ethnographic art. The roots of modern design are also represented by dealers of earlier material. Half of the dealers are members of the prestigious Syndicat National des Antiquaires, many of whom were exhibiting in New York for the first time.

 

Next édition : November, 14-18 novembre

 

 

 

 

It was around a year ago today that Paris-based gallerist Patrick Perrin and veteran fair organizer Sanford Smith opened the inaugural Pavilion of Art and Design New York at the Park Avenue Armory, the locale the blue-chip fair had long coveted for its first stateside foray. Despite the show’s commercial and critical success, PADNY turned out to be a one-time endeavor, following the widely publicized falling out between Perrin and Smith (it involved petitions to boycott each others’ fairs, billing disputes, name-calling in the media, and other quarrels less-than-becoming of grown men).

Bouncing back from the very public dissolution of PADNY, Smith, the longstanding producer of Works on Paper, Modernism and Outsider Art Fair, was quick to put together a new show in its stead (he has, after all, a five-year contract for the Armory’s November slot). This time around he’s also found French backing, but now on a larger scale. He and the Syndicat National des Antiquaires, the highly respected organizers of the behemoth Paris Biennale des Antiquaires (for which Karl Lagerfeld designed an opulent mise-en-scene in the storied Grand Palais earlier this year, sans payment), debut The Salon: Art + Design tonight.
