NEW YORK – The Winter Show announces highlights, special presentations, and programming for its 69th edition at the Park Avenue Armory. The show, taking place January 20–29, brings together 68 exhibitors – leading experts in the fine and decorative arts – presenting objects that range from ancient times to present day. As the US’s leading antiques and fine art fair, the Winter Show features an outstanding and global mix of exhibitors from Europe, South America and the US, including new, returning and longtime participants, offering museum-quality works. All ticket proceeds from the fair and benefit events, including the Opening Night Party on January 19 and Young Collectors Night on January 26, directly fund East Side House Settlement.
In keeping with the Winter Show’s commitment to presenting works that are the highest standards of quality in the art market, every object that is presented on the show floor is vetted for authenticity, date and condition by a committee of more than 120 experts from the United States and Europe.
Design Council Co-Chair Vignettes
Each year the show invites leaders from the worlds of interior design and architecture to lend their voices as Design Council co-chairs, honoring its deep relationship with the design community. This year, to celebrate the fair’s return to the Park Avenue Armory, the 2023 Design Co-Chairs Bunny Williams and Elizabeth Lawrence, Alex Papachristidis, and Stephen Sills, have designed special vignettes and installations throughout the fair. The three displays are inspired by and include objects from the show’s 2023 exhibitors, shining a spotlight on the designer’s distinct curatorial and design vision.
Programming
The Winter Show presents a suite of public programming and special events throughout the run of the fair that offers visitors opportunities to deepen their knowledge and engage with current trends and topics. Emphasizing the show’s collaborative focus and educational approach, the panel discussions and talks are presented by experts in art, antiques and design as well as leaders from museums and institutions. A full schedule of programs will be available online at thewintershow.org/programs.
The Winter Show also presents several ticketed events to benefit East Side House, including special programming and presentations. Highlights include the annual Design Luncheon panel discussion on January 20 featuring the 2023 Design Council Co-Chairs Bunny Williams, Alex Papachristidis, Stephen Sills and Elizabeth Lawrence, moderated by Design Editor of New York Magazine Wendy Goodman; and a seated luncheon and talk on January 21 titled The Hunt for and Joy of Living with Art, Antiques, and Objects, with American Editor of World of Interiors Mitch Owens, and acclaimed interior designer Suzanne Tucker.
