“Our show is known for offering a unique and varied selection that covers a wide span of eras and genres. We have followed the trends as collectors increasingly combine period items with modern and contemporary art and design,” said show director Barbara Goodwin.
This year’s show offers a notable selection of European and American fine art from the 1800s through 2013, including pieces from modern masters Picasso, Braque, Chagall, Calder and Lichtenstein from leading dealers, such as Waterhouse & Dodd, Michael Borghi Fine Art, Bridgehampton Fine Art, Arcadia Contemporary, Daphne Alazraki Fine Art, and Lawrence Fine Art. Painting and sculpture will be seen alongside vintage and contemporary photography, American and European furnishings from the 17th century to the Art Déco and mid-Century modern periods. Additionally, there will be estate and fine jewelry, silver, textiles, rugs and tapestries, and much more. Images of hundreds of offerings can be previewed on the show’s Pinterest boards (www.Pinterest.com/avenueshows).
This much loved “shopping show” receives great support from renowned interior designers, who serve on the event’s design committee with co-chairs Ellie Cullman and Mario Buatta. About the mix of periods and styles at the show, Ellie Cullman said, “We are passionate about antiques and especially delight in using modern and contemporary art as a counterpoint. Current art brings new life to antiques, and the provenance and history of antiques brings substance to new art.”
The show also offers a full program of original lectures and events that enhance the shopping and collecting experience. Design expert, author and TODAY Show contributor Susanna Salk will moderate a “Best in Show” panel discussion with top decorators sharing details about their favorite finds. On Friday, October 11, the New York School of Design will host a “Design Day,” featuring lectures by Geoffrey Bradfield, Mario Buatta, Benjamin Noriega-Ortiz, Sandra Nunnerly, Vicente Wolf and more. Dates, times and details about the programming can be seen on the show’s website.
