The country’s original, largest, and most important venue for authentic garden antiques — newly titled Garden Sculpture and Antiques Fair: 1750–2013 — has been refreshed to include many new and exciting dealers specializing in sculpture, ornament, and furniture for the garden, and garden-related art and objects for the home. Bold and refined, contemporary and classic — and more engaging than ever — the Fair will run from April 26 through April 28, 2013 at The New York Botanical Garden. Explore unique antiques and classic through contemporary sculpture from the mid-18th century to the present, including fountains, sundials, statues, birdbaths, benches, botanical prints, and more. The Fair takes place in an expansive tent surrounded by flowering trees and plants adjacent to the landmark Enid A. Haupt Conservatory and is essential for collectors and designers as well as buyers seeking expert advice. More than 30 leading exhibitors plus contemporary artists specializing in outdoor sculpture offer their finest pieces. America’s most celebrated venue for garden ornament will inspire you to enhance your home or garden with works from the United States, France, England, Belgium, Sweden, and Italy.
