NEW YORK, NY.- Salon Art + Design, produced by Sanford L.

Throughout its decade, Salon has evolved into the choice platform for exhibiting, experiencing, collecting, and discussing design and art. A high point of New York’s Fall arts calendar, the fair will celebrate its 10th year in person with an international exhibitor list, immersive programming and museum quality offerings. Salon has continued to differentiate 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.

“We couldn’t be happier that we are able to hold a live event this year, particularly on the occasion of this momentous anniversary, and just as art and culture returns to New York City”, says Jill Bokor, Director of Salon Art + Design. “We anticipate a new, reinvigorated audience of design collectors and enthusiasts who have become more interested in the aesthetics and function of the home this past year. We hope to serve as the gateway to these aspiring collectors to experience the world’s best design and art.”

This November, Salon welcomes back many of its core exhibitors who have participated in the fair since its inception and have found success in the fair year after year including Friedman Benda, R + Company, Maison Gerard, Chastel Marechal, and Vallois. Also returning after several years’ absence will be such former exhibitors as Michael Goedhuis and Galerie Marcilhac.

“Salon Art + Design fair has for many years successfully brought together the worlds of fine art, contemporary and historical design,” says Evan Snyderman, Co-Founder of R + Company. “This November, the Salon Fair also will play the very significant role of being the first international design fair to welcome its patrons back for in person visits. In celebration of this welcome return, R & Company has put together a booth designed to celebrate the joys of collecting. Focusing on new works by some of our favorite designers including Jeff Zimmerman, Nancy Lorenz, Hun Chung Lee, Rogan Gregory, Sebastian Errazuriz, and Zanine de Zanine. All of these artists share one common thread which is the use of a single tool...the oldest tool... the hand.”

Marc Benda, founder of Friedman Benda, says: “This year’s Salon marks a special moment. We are all returning to a life where we can share artworks in the flesh and our artists are eager for their creations to be shared with a wider community. For ten years, Salon founder Jill Bokor and her team have built a unique platform, enabling us to exhibit the visions of our artists and the gallery in a wonderful context.”

Through its unmatched reputation, the fair continues to attract new exhibitors from around the world and is proud to welcome newcomers including Galerie SCENE OUVERTE, Les Ateliers Courbet, Lebreton Gallery, and Dobrinka Salzman Gallery.

“I am honored and very excited to participate in Salon Art & Design, celebrating the beauty and spirit of New York,” said Dobrinka Salzman, founder of Dobrinka Salzman Gallery “Visiting and admiring the fair for many years, Salon has inspired my aesthetics and helped me grow as a collector and dealer. I can’t wait to be a part of it.”

More recently, Salon has been recognized for its innovative programming as seen through exhibitions in the historic rooms at the entrance of the Park Avenue Armory that transcend the gallery booth. Visitors may also expect to have access to intimate events within the fair and exclusive, site-specific commissions.

Man accused of art forgeries sales A man who authorities say was trying to sell forgeries of works by artists including JeanMichael Basquiat and Keith Haring was arrested on federal fraud charges, according to news agency AP. In a federal court in Manhattan prosecutors allege 49-year-old Angel Pereda, of Mexico, “conned art buyers” who he hoped wouldn’t notice the art was forged. Prosecutors also allege that Pereda falsified the ownership history of the forged artwork on at least one occasion.

9 Design Events to Add to Your Calendar This Fall: From TEFAF to Design Miami/Basel While some events remain online, others are embracing IRL gatherings once again

By Alia Akkam

After a long hiatus, much-missed design events are ramping up again, slowly restoring a sense of normalcy across the industry. Fall calendars have always been jam-packed with fairs, festivals, and activities, and this year is no exception. (There may be a few COVID tests tossed in, however.)

While gatherings like High Point Market, Maison et Objet, and—most recently—Salone del Mobile are keeping our editors busy, here are nine autumn events AD PRO is anxiously anticipating. (P.S.: Be sure to follow the AD PRO calendar for more intel on what else is to come.)

Salon Art + Design Over the last year and a half, creating warm living environments became the priority for many.

Salon Art + Design, produced by Sanford L. Smith + Associates, aims to keep that momentum going. This 10-year anniversary edition of the fair is once again a collector’s paradise, melding vintage, modern, and contemporary design with blue-chip 20th-century artworks. 50 venerable galleries from nine countries, including Friedman Benda, Michael Goedhuis, Chastel Maréchal, and Vallois, as well as newcomer Dobrinka Salzman, are all part of the mix. November 11–15, Park Avenue Armory, New York City, thesalonny.com

This Fall’s Can’t-Miss Jewelry Events, From a Major Charity Auction to a GemCollector’s Summit There is no shortage of gatherings, both in person and virtual, to keep jewelry lovers entertained this season.

By Victoria Gomelsky

Fabio Salini

If the number of jewelry events on the fall 2021 calendar is any indication, we’re in for a much different season than this time last year. Between a first-of-its-kind showcase of gems, fossils and minerals in Denver; a brilliant selling exhibition of jewelry by Black designers at Sotheby’s New York; a blockbuster Christie’s sale in Geneva; and two exciting New York City events for lovers of jewelry and art, things feels almost, dare we say, normal. There is, however, one virtual event we’re excited about: a charity auction of jewels by Britain’s most beloved designers to benefit the women and children of Afghanistan. Check out the highlights below! https://robbreport.com/style/jewelry/fall-2021-jewelry-events-auctions-summits-1234635282/

Salon Art + Design in New York City

Nevelson Pendant Salon Art + Design

When Salon Art + Design returns for its 10th anniversary at the Park Avenue Armory in New York City from Nov. 11-15, fine jewelry will, for the first time, have a major presence. The event is best known as a showcase for blue-chip 20th century art and the world’s best design — be it vintage, modern or contemporary. Among the more than 50 leading art and design galleries spotlighting collectible design trends, attendees will find the jewelry firms Macklowe Gallery, Ornamentum Gallery, Didier LTD, Galerie Negropontes and the Brazilian fine jewelry designer Silvia Furmanovich, who is planning to debut a special installation of her newest design collection, a bejeweled homage to the Amazon rainforest.

Hanging with Sandy Smith

ne might expect antiques show impresario Sanford “Sandy” Smith to have a colorful background. He does.

His mother named him for the polo player Stephen “Laddie” Sanford, whom “she was impressed with,” as he put it.

At Adelphi Academy in Brooklyn, New York, he edited the yearbook and was business manager for the literary magazine.

Salon Art + Design NOVEMBER 11–15, 2021 PARK AVENUE ARMORY / NEW YORK / ART 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 tenth anniversary, is an international fair that encourages its exhibiting galleries (over 50 this year) to present vintage, modern, and contemporary art and design in an immersive and inspiring setting—witty, sparkling, stylish. —L.J.

CINCO PREGUNTAS A... MANOLO VALDÉS

Del 11 al 15 de noviembre, el artista presenta su obra reciente en el Salon Art+Design de Nueva York. Aquí nos habla de esto y de sus próximos planes.

2. Obra nueva.

De gran formato, el óleo Matisse como Pretexto en Rosa, 2021, se expondrá en la feria Salon Art+Design.

3. Escultura.

La pieza Constructivismo como Pretexto, 2021, también estará en la feria neoyorquina.

Este año sus obras se han expuesto en muestras individuales en Roma y Nueva York, y en calles de Miami y París. Y están en los jardines de dos hoteles emblemáticos de la Costa Azul hasta el 15 de octubre. ¿Qué obras suyas veremos con Opera Gallery en el Salon Art+Design de NY? Obras recientes que hice en el estudio de Long Island en el primer año de la pandemia. He trabajado con materiales nuevos para mí, como el cristal, y he insistido con la madera y el bronce. Las pinturas son de gran formato y tienen más color ¿Cuáles son sus próximos proyectos ?

Cuando empezó la pandemia, se suspendieron algunas exposiciones a punto de inaugurarse en Corea del Sur, Hong Kong y Moscú. Espero poder hacerlas en 2022.

Y he retomado las obras con la esperanza de mejorarlas. Estoy enseñando nuevas esculturas de resina en Berkeley Square (Londres) y me estoy preparando para las ferias de París, Sao Paulo y Miami. ¿Ha cambiado su vida esta pandemia ?

En el primer año de la pandemia, estuve en

mi estudio de Long Island y me encontré con menos medios y pensé en Paul Klee, que hizo estupendas obras con pequeños papeles y con técnicas sencillas como la acuarela. Pensé en las estupendas esculturas de Giacometti hechas en ese pequeño estudio de París. Me dije: "No hay excusas". ¿Qué le ha sorprendido en el arte?

El otro día alguien me preguntaba por qué seguía viviendo en Nueva York. Sigo aquí porque cuando tienes la impresión de que aprendes cosas nuevas, eso no lo quieres dejar. Jóvenes artistas que llegan con sus propuestas, y que yo miro con mucho interés... Me ayudan a reflexionar sobre las nuevas maneras de hacer. ¿En qué trabaja actualmente?

En Miami hay una fundición con la que trabajo, cuyo dueño, Lázaro Valdes, esta siempre poniendo sobre la mesa nuevas maneras de fundir, nuevas técnicas y materiales. Esto produce mucha energía y posibilidades. Ahora trabajamos en poner color a las esculturas y experimentamos con materiales como las resinas.

The city is teeming with design inspiration this fall.

WORLDWIDE INFLUENCE

IN CONTEXT

Founders of brand Objects of Common Interest Eleni Petaloti and Leonidas Trampoukis are debuting a shining new design exhibition at The Noguchi Museum in Queens named Hard, Soft, and All Lit Up with Nowhere to Go. The exhibit, by Senior Curator of The Noguchi Museum Dakin Hart, interplays Objects of Common Interest’s experimental furniture and extraordinary lighting with the eclectic artworks and spaces of artist Isamu Noguchi.

Featuring playful, inventive pieces like the Tube Lights and Opal Rocks, the show presents “moments of unfamiliar simplicity” that inspire Petaloti and Trampoukis. “Noguchi’s

work has always been—through our eyes—tied to space and about perception within a given context,” Petaloti says. “This show is a conversation around these shared notions.”

Through Feb. 13, 9-01 33rd Road, noguchi.org –LS

Celebrate the eclectic spirit of New York at the first in-person international design fair since the city shut down. Featuring a diverse assortment of exhibitors from nine countries, Salon Art + Design will celebrate its 10-year anniversary of the fair at the Park Avenue Armory in November. “We couldn’t be happier that we are able to hold a live event this year, particularly on the occasion of this momentous anniversary, and just as art and culture returns to New York City,” says Jill Bokor, director of Salon Art + Design.

Salon was built on the belief that designers and artists create environments rather than objects, so expect to encounter immersive experiences and spaces that reflect just that. As Salon has always set itself apart by its artistic inclusivity, guests can also anticipate a wide variety of highly curated pieces from historic and contemporary design to fine art. The event, which is welcoming core exhibitors from previous years alongside new ones, will surely have something for everyone. Nov. 11-13, 643 Park Ave., thesalonny.com –LS

Những sản phẩm nổi bật tại Salon Art + Design

By Duc Nguyen Sự kiện Salon Art + Design do Sanford L.Smith + Associates tổ chức sẽ được diễn ra tại Part Avenue Armory, New York City vào ngày 11-15 tháng 11/2021 thông qua phiên bản kỷ niệm 10 năm. Đây là buổi triển lãm trưng bày các sản phẩm nghệ thuật thuộc nhiều lĩnh vực đến từ 9 quốc gia khác nhau. Kể từ lần đầu tổ chức, Salon Art + Design đã trở thành điểm đến không thể bỏ qua dành cho các tín đồ đam mê nghệ thuật quốc tế.

Các sản phẩm xuất hiện trong khuôn khổ Salon Art + Design năm nay là sự kết hợp giữa giá trị lịch sử pha lẫn văn hóa đương đại, đồng thời các NTK khi tạo ra tác phẩm còn hướng đến giá trị sưu tầm cho người sở hữu. Mỗi tác phẩm là một hình ảnh phản chiếu môi trường sống động xung quanh con người, sự gần gũi qua bàn tay của các nghệ nhân, nhà sản xuất lại trở thành sản phẩm độc đáo lạ mắt.

EDITIONS COURBET Sự góp mặt của các thương hiệu và sản phẩm thiết kế là yếu tố cốt lõi tạo nên điểm thu hút cho sự kiện. Có thể kể đến lần tham gia đầu tiên của Les Atelier Courbet với BST Editions Courbet bao gồm các phiên bản đồ nội thất giới hạn do NTK người Bỉ Pieter Maes cộng tác cùng các nghệ nhân như Rutger Graas người Hà Lan đảm nhiệm phần gỗ, nhà bọc ghế tài hoa người Pháp Jouffre, nghệ nhân đá của Il Granito, xưởng sản xuất 3DW. Mỗi sản phẩm đơn lẻ trong BST đều được đóng dấu và ký tên bởi NTK và nghệ nhân thực hiện.

Hàng loạt các tác phẩm đều được thực hiện bằng các sử dụng kỹ thuật marquetry – loại kỹ nghệ có truyến thống lâu đời tại địa phương. Đây là câu chuyện thú vị về quy trình thủ công giúp tạo ra những tác phẩm đẹp mắt mang tinh thần đương đại.

BST lấy cảm hứng từ “câu chuyện về nhiều cõi trần gian” như Trái đất, bầu trời, không gian và biển cả. Các tác phẩm sẽ được sắp đặt trong một căn phòng có ánh sáng đặc biệt, đưa người xem đắm chìm vào khoảng không nơi các vách tường mô phỏng lại vùng núi Montana vào nhiều thời điểm trong ngày, từ bình mình cho đến hoàng hôn.

What Will Become the Next Big Art Destination in the Coming Decade? We Asked 10 Art-World Insiders The next major art destination could be closer than you think.

The world is working to emerge from a once-in-a-century pandemic. Employment is beginning to bounce back from record lows, but inequality remains high. The U.S. president is preaching the value of unity in a moment when the country is bitterly divided. But there’s one thing almost everyone can agree on: they really want to party. https://news.artnet.com/art-world/intelligence-report-fall-2021-next-big-art-city-2018276

Sound familiar? The above paragraph could describe the Roaring ’20s of the previous century just as well as our own era. The 1920s gave us Art Deco, the automobile, the vote for women, motion pictures, and the Harlem Renaissance. What might the 2020s have in store?

To find out, we asked leading experts to gaze into their crystal balls and imagine how the art industry might transform over the next decade—from where we travel to how we raise money to what art we look at.

See their picks for the next big art destination below. For more of takes on the art industry’s Roaring 2020s, download the fall 2021 Artnet Intelligence Report.

It may sound prosaic, but like Paris in the 1920s, I would say that New York is unequivocally and once again the greatest destination for art in the 2020s. When I speak to International artists, dealers, and collectors, they speak longingly of returning to the vibrance and disturbance of New York. Through these many long months, creativity has exploded here and people want to be a part of that.

How Artist Niamh Barry Creates High Concept LED Chandeliers From Bronze and Glass The Dublin-based light designer makes bending bronze look like a conjuror’s illusion.

By Helena Madden

Nigel Swann

An led lamp may be efficient, but its output isn’t always so beautiful. In their raw form, LEDs emit a cool, often harsh glow not unlike the kind radiating from your smartphone. It takes a skilled artisan, then, to make the medium look less iPad and more sculpture.

Niamh Barry’s high-concept chandeliers are made of carefully worked bronze and glass. Together, the two materials diffuse the LEDs’ light so it’s warmer and considerably more inviting.

The design for one of Barry’s new works, Artist’s Hand, comes from a curvy sketch—easy enough to scribble in a notebook but much harder to make into a more than nine-foot-long bronze https://robbreport.com/style/jewelry/fall-2021-jewelry-events-auctions-summits-1234635282/

chandelier. Altogether the piece, on view next month at New York’s Salon Art + Design, takes about 600 hours to create; the result is a lithe sculpture that looks as if it’s made of molten metal.

The meticulous process is informed by Barry’s three decades of experience working with bronze and light. Nothing is left to chance once construction begins. “There are always moments along the way where I stop, take stock and perhaps tweak a piece,” she says. “But the fundamentals are all set in stone from the get-go.”

Sketchy

Nigel Swann

Barry draws the shape that Artist’s Hand will take. It’s as much about emotion as concept. “Usually with my work… it’s like a feeling,” she says. “It’s hard to articulate, hard to pin down.”

Wires Crossed

Nigel Swann

https://robbreport.com/style/jewelry/fall-2021-jewelry-events-auctions-summits-1234635282/

Once that’s done, she bends and manipulates wire by hand to create a maquette. This gives her a better sense of what the chandelier will look like in physical form and allows her to play with or tweak its shape more precisely.

Computer Games

Nigel Swann

Barry creates a 3-D model of Artist’s Hand in a computer program called SolidWorks. She can then take the design apart digitally and transform it into many 2-D models that can be used as reference when cutting and welding the individual pieces.

Heavy Metal

https://robbreport.com/style/jewelry/fall-2021-jewelry-events-auctions-summits-1234635282/

Nigel Swann

Artist’s Hand consists of numerous separate bronze pieces, all of which must be hammered, rolled and bent depending on their final form. At this point the metal is still raw and unpolished.

Fired Up

Nigel Swann

Once the components have been molded to their desired shape, Barry works with a member of her team to weld them together. It’s a back-and-forth of hammering and annealing, which involves heating the metal and cooling it very slowly. This relieves internal stresses from the material. https://robbreport.com/style/jewelry/fall-2021-jewelry-events-auctions-summits-1234635282/

Meet the New York Based Artist Crafting Curious Microbe-Inspired Forms Out of Wool Liam Lee is AD’s newest One to Watch

By Hannah Martin

“Seed pods, microbes, fungi, intestines…it’s all a jumble,” says the New York–based artist and designer Liam Lee, describing the inspirations for his curious textiles and furniture. The brightly colored, freaky forms—it takes a moment to realize—are made from hand-dyed, needle-felted wool. “I think of them as drawings, almost,” says Lee, who first experimented with the technique (wherein serrated needles bind fibers together, building them up into a desired shape) a few years ago. What were initially small-scale textile works have since given way to three-dimensional pieces, the latest of which are slated to debut this November, as part of Patrick Parrish’s booth at New York’s Salon Art + Design fair. “Wool is such a seductive material because it can be really soft and supple but also very rigid and sculptural depending on the density,” Lee explains. Acid-dyed to electrifying effect, American merino fibers are attached to simple cedar frames and felted into oozing, bubbling exteriors. (“Hopefully the wood will repel moths, my worst enemy.”) Consider these bizarre seats his pandemic babies. https://www.architecturaldigest.com/story/meet-the-new-york-based-artist-crafting-curiousmicrobe-inspired-forms-out-of-wool

—Optaron por la figuración cuando la abstracción parecía la única forma de vanguardia.

—Casi todos los intelectuales aportamos lo que pudimos. Equipo Crónica lo hizo de forma directa y con mensajes claros. Pero también lo hicieron los abstractos, que tenían una implicación, aunque no tan explícita. Saura, Tàpies, tantos otros. Yo no cuestionaría su compromiso con la democracia, su manera de contar no tenía nada que ver con la nuestra.

—El grupo se disolvió en 1981. ¿Qué legado le dejó?

—Al día siguiente de la desaparición de Crónica, lo primero que tuve que aprender fue a decidir por mí mismo, y ahí se produjo un vértigo. Solbes y yo, medio en broma y medio en serio, decíamos: “Pienso que el cuadro lo has hecho tú”. Lo que no era cierto, porque lo discutíamos entre todos, pero las imágenes estaban ahí.

10th edition of Salon Art + Design opens November 11

By Staff Writer The Salon Art + Design Fair will celebrate its 10th Anniversary when the latest edition opens at the Park Avenue Armory in New York City from November 11 – 15, 2021. The fair, produced by Sanford L. Smith + Associates, features nearly 50 leading galleries from around the world who will showcase their vintage, modern and contemporary design, as well as blue-chip 20th century art, contemporary art, and classical antiquities.

Two examples, showing the diverse nature of objects being presented, include this Ancient Greek Attic Red-Figure Lekythos, Dating to Circa 450 BC, from Ariadne Gallery, and this Masking Tape Light by Faye Toogood, courtesy of Friedman Benda

The Salon’s inclusivity and willingness to consider both fine and decorative art in the context of contemporary life is based on the belief that today, more than ever, designers and collectors like to create environments rather than collect objects. Just as top interior designers create eclectic homes for discerning clients, Salon Art + Design exhibitors are encouraged to create immersive environments mirroring the way we live today.

Jean Christophe Malaval, “Bague Sculptees,” presented by Galerie Negropontes.

The success of the Salon lies in the quality of its exhibiting galleries (see a list of this year’s exhibitors here), the extremely international flavor of the material and an eclecticism that is highly sought by today’s collectors. Appealing to seasoned and young collectors alike, Salon offers an extensive range of pieces, ensuring something for everyone.

Art You Can Wear: Two New Exhibitions Explore the Link Between Jewelry and Design On Oscar Wilde, Spanish sculpture, Alexander Pope & more from the world of culture. Both New York's Salon Art + Design and a Cartier show in Paris study the artistry of making jewelry.

By Victoria Gomelsky

Jewelry is often described as wearable art—but, really, why not just have both? That seems to be the thinking behind this year’s 10th anniversary of selling exhibition Salon Art + Design, at Manhattan’s Park Avenue Armory from November 11 through 15, which for the first time will showcase a sizable selection of fine jewelry alongside its blue-chip 20th-century art and some of the world’s best vintage, modern and contemporary designs. https://robbreport.com/style/jewelry/salon-art-design-cartier-and-islamic-art-1234642092/

Among the more than 50 leading art and design galleries, attendees will find jewelry firms Macklowe Gallery, Ornamentum Gallery, Didier Ltd. and Galerie Negropontes, along with Brazilian fine-jewelry designer Silvia Furmanovich, who is planning to debut a special installation of her latest design collection, including jewelry and home objets inspired by the natural landscape of the Amazon rainforest. Furmanovich collaborated with Brazilian artist Mestre André da Marinheira, whose wood sculptures will also be up for grabs.

Meanwhile, in Paris, a new exhibition at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs underscores Cartier’s connection to India, whose maharajas commissioned some of the house’s most extravagant 20thcentury jewels. Cartier and Islamic Art: In Search of Modernity, on display through Feb. 20, 2022, features more than 500 pieces of jewelry and precious objects, art, drawings, books, photographs and archival documents that tell the story of how Cartier found inspiration in the Islamic world.

Co-organized by the Dallas Museum of Art, in collaboration with the Musée du Louvre, the exhibition will occupy galleries on two floors, with displays designed by New York firm Diller Scofidio + Renfro.

The first part of the exhibition explores the cultural backdrop of 1920s Paris, where Cartier’s interest in Islamic art took root. On display are jewels acquired by Jacques Cartier on his 1911 visit to India, plus books from Louis Cartier’s expansive Islamic art collection, reconstructed here for the first time.

https://robbreport.com/style/jewelry/salon-art-design-cartier-and-islamic-art-1234642092/

The second half of the exhibition houses some 200 pieces of jewelry boasting recognizably Islamic patterns, silhouettes and forms, including a spectacular bib necklace of diamond, amethyst and turquoise commissioned in 1947 by the Duke of Windsor for the Duchess.

The show was brought together by Évelyne Possémé, chief curator of ancient and modern jewelry at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, and Judith Hénon-Raynaud, curator and deputy director of the Department of Islamic Art at the Musée du Louvre. “The shapes and motifs from the Islamic lexicon within Cartier creations are sometimes obvious, but other times they’re more difficult to detect,” the pair wrote to Robb Report. “This source of inspiration is an essential part of the house’s creations, but one that has not been explored in depth until now.”

The curators say they hope visitors will come away with a better understanding of the artistic process at a house like Cartier as well as of the Islamic world’s rich and fascinating legacy of decorative arts.

EVENTS AT SALON SPOLIĀ BY VALERIE NAME FASHION SHOW | BOARD OF OFFICERS Saturday, November 13, 3PM. Spoliā, a fashion line founded in New York City by Valerie Name Bolaño in 2021, is an attempt to eternalize the ephemeral; a homage to ancient traditions informed by the reuse of fine materials. Having spent a good part of the last decade designing some of the most storied residences in New York City, Valerie saw large amounts of fine fabrics go to waste after custom furniture productions, discontinued textiles, and began thinking of ways to repurpose them gracefully.

We Asked 10 Art-World Insiders Which Artists They’re Most Excited to Watch Over the Next Decade. Here’s What They Said We asked art dealers, auction-house honchos, curators, and advisors which artists they're keeping an eye on.

By Eileen Kinsella

There is a lot of art out there in the world. It can be hard to keep up.

That’s why, in our fall 2021 Artnet Intelligence Report, we asked experts on four continents to select the artists whose work they are most excited to see evolve in the coming decade. Many couldn’t pick just one. https://news.artnet.com/art-world/artists-to-watch-from-intel-2021-2018264

Some of the names below may be unfamiliar. A few might be recognizable, but our experts feel they are poised to ascend to the next level in the coming years.

Altogether, the lineup offers a snapshot of talents on the rise at a moment when the mainstream art world is working to address the historical exclusion of many creators from beyond the West.

See their selections below. And for more takes on the future of the art industry, download the Artnet Intelligence Report.

Installation view, “Chris Schanck: Unhomely” at Friedman Benda.

The designers whose work I am most excited about are Chris Schanck, Marcin Russak, and Serban Ionesco. All are brilliant and could not be more different from each other in terms of form, of palate, and of materiality.

Salon Art + Design fair presents collectible art and design in New York

By Staff Writer

Dezeen promotion: Salon Art + Design takes place in November, making it the "first major design fair to take place in New York since 2019". Dezeen readers can receive a 20 per cent discount on their ticket.

Based at Park Avenue Armory in New York, Salon Art + Design was launched by Sanford L Smith + Associates as a major fair dedicated to celebrating global art and design.

The fair celebrates its ten-year anniversary at this year's edition from 11-15 November, when it will showcase a diverse range of collectible art and design, including ceramics and lighting. https://www.dezeen.com/2021/10/27/salon-art-fair-collectible-craft-design-new-york/

Pieces on show date from the 1920s to the present day and include work by both well-known and emerging artists.

The fair will exhibit collectible design from over 11 countries, including tribal and Japanese design and pre-Columbian work.

This year the fair will also show jewellery for the first time, including Didier Ltd of London's collection, which includes a Lalanne necklace and bracelet.

"The fair's 10th anniversary will celebrate not only the world's finest art and design but the opportunity to experience it in person, the first major design fair to take place in New York since 2019," said the Salon Art + Design organisers.

A diverse range of western design will be exhibited, including contemporary and art nouveau pieces from galleries such as Chastel Maréchal, Maison Gerard, Friedman Benda, Priveekoelletie, and R & Company.

"The fair is also excited to welcome back such galleries as London's Michael Goedhuis Gallery who had been a past exhibitor but taken a break for the last few years," said the organisers.

American galleries that have partnered with the fair include Carole Davenport Japanese Art, Throckmorton Fine Art, Onishi Gallery, Ateliers Courbet, Gallery Dobrinka Salzman, and Culture Object.

Portuondo, which has galleries in Madrid, London, and New York, will exhibit a curved sofa designed by late American designer Vladimir Kagan.

Lost City Arts will exhibit a range of American and European pieces, including the Seagull Chair and Ottoman by Gosta Berg.

A number of sculptural pieces will also be on display, including Luiza Miller's coffee table exhibited by Magen H Gallery, Wendell Castle's Blowin' in the Wind, and Ron Arad's chair-like sculpture showcased by Geoffrey Diner Gallery.

"Collectible design is now more desirable than ever," said Jill Bokor, executive director of Salon.

"People who have been stuck at home look around, and after a certain point, their eyes need refreshing."

"They realise the need for a new dining table, they want to change their lighting, or realise that a new ceramic would brighten their homes; they may have moved or renovated, and this has created newfound craving to change their mise-en-scene," she added.

"As New York returns to normal, there is a hunger for connection and engagement, and Salon will provide that to its audience."

Dezeen readers will receive a 20 per cent discount to Salon Art + Design with the code 21DZPT. To learn more about the fair, visit its website.

Salon Art + Design Returns to New York for Its 10th Year

Salon Art + Design is celebrating its 10th year with a return to the Park Avenue Armory in Manhattan at its usual time in the fall.

https://www.barrons.com/articles/salon-art-design-returns-to-new-york-for-its-10th-year01635362931

The fair, which is produced by Sanford L. Smith + Associates and runs from Nov. 11-15, features a range of material “from the beginning of the 20th century to yesterday,” says Jill Bokor, executive director.

The goal of the fair’s exhibiting galleries is to create “immersive” booths that blend objects the dealers work with into inviting environments, rather than putting things on pedestals, she says.

Bokor views this 10th year of Salon as a “double celebration,” because “a lot of fairs don’t last for 10 years,” and because it’s actually taking place in person with 46 galleries in attendance, including 10 from outside the U.S. The fair typically has around 55 gallery booths, but several international dealers couldn’t commit in time because of fluctuating travel restrictions amid the pandemic.

The galleries that have confirmed were busy with customers through the summer, Bokor says, which means they are bringing a lot of new inventory. And despite the slightly smaller roster of dealers the fair is able to showcase its usual array of design and art categories, from furniture, to ceramics, art, and lighting, she says.

https://www.barrons.com/articles/salon-art-design-returns-to-new-york-for-its-10th-year01635362931

For the first time Salon will feature works from Japan, with representation from Carol Davenport and Onishi Gallery, both from New York. Throckmorton Fine Art in New York, also new to the fair, will bring pre-Columbian art.

Another first will be the addition of jewelry, which a few galleries will display in accompaniment to their lighting and design objects.

Galerie Negropontes in Paris, for instance, will bring a collection of bronze jewelry in addition to ceramics and furniture, while Macklowe Gallery in New York—also at Salon for the first time— will bring 20th-century jewelry in addition to Art Nouveau furniture and lighting. The jewelry includes a serpent bracelet valued at US$250,000.

Another featured item at the fair is what Bokor calls “the world’s craziest ping-pong table”—a work imagined by one individual and designed by 14, that is being sold for about US$450,000.

“It’s about as one of a kind as anything we'll have at the fair,” she says.

Geoffrey Diner Gallery in Washington, D.C., who deals in 20th- and 21st-century furniture, is also bringing a 1966 watercolor by Alexander Calder titled Loose Yolks, which is valued at about US$200,000.

Salon also includes eight special installations this year from fair partners that will fill historic rooms in the Armory’s front halls. Four of these exhibitors, including Didier Ltd. from London— https://www.barrons.com/articles/salon-art-design-returns-to-new-york-for-its-10th-year01635362931

Among the special installations is the debut of Studio Greytak of Montana’s immersive installation of furniture and objects that incorporate stones and minerals. John Greytak has “created some amazing pieces including nesting tables with stalactites,” Bokor says.

Also, Silvia Furmanovich, a Brazilian jewelry designer, will be debuting a line of home furnishings at the fair in a setting that gives tribute to the Amazon Rainforest.

After a year in which the fair couldn’t be held because of the pandemic, Bokor is happy Salon can bring the first design fair to New York this year.

“People are seeking community and engagement and talking to other people about the things that they love as much as they are buying what’s for sale,” she says. https://www.barrons.com/articles/salon-art-design-returns-to-new-york-for-its-10th-year01635362931

EXCLUSIVE: Interview with Jill Bokor, Executive Director of NYC’S Salon Art +Design

By Alicia Kunkel

Art is transformative, groundbreaking and seductive. Something as delicate as a drawing of a butterfly or imposing like large sculptural columns dripping in gold; historic as a tiny carved animal from ancient Greece or a glittering contemporary glasswork, art transports the viewer to a shared vision and moment in time with the creator, a glimpse inside the often inscrutable human mind. There we find beauty.

Once again New York City is privileged to host a veritable consortium of the most trained eyes in the art world during the annual Salon Art + Design. The premiere event showcases world renown galleries and designers all under the expansive roof of the Park Avenue Armory. A wonderland where museum quality ancient artifacts from Ariadne Galleries meets decadent high jewelry designs of Giampiero Bodino and the Spanish silversmiths of the remarkable Garrido Gallery are comfortable companions to the iconic palpitation inducing Ferrari brand. And, who, you may ask, magics all of this together? None other than a cornerstone of New York City’s art world, Jill Bokor.

You have had a remarkable career. Why did you choose the arts to be a central focus in your life’s work?

In a funny way, I didn’t choose the arts, the arts chose me. When I was a child, we lived near the Met and the Guggenheim and my mother would take me to museums on rainy days. There always seemed to be hushed reverence about these places and they made me feel peaceful. When I got my first job in the arts, at Art + Auction Magazine in 1985, I had to pinch myself to believe that someone was actually paying me to spend my days in galleries looking at beautiful and rarified art and objects. It felt like it was in my DNA.

Todd Merrill: Vikram Goyal

The Salon: Art + Design is the most highly anticipated art event of the year in New York City. How are you able to bring such a large collection of curated galleries from around the world together to make this possible?

Prior to COVID, I spent a lot of time traveling to look at galleries that might be a good fit for Salon. We started with a great group of galleries—many of them French and many of whom sold vintage works. As the show developed we decided to make it more international and, at our height, had galleries from 16 countries. We also decided to bring more contemporary work to the fair. For exhibitors, having the Park Avenue Armory as our venue was a great draw and there’s always a waiting list for the fair. Everyone wants to go there. https://lescarats.com/2021/10/13/exclusive-interview-with-jill-bokor-executive-director-of-nycssalon-art-design/

Each year there are some new faces at the event. Which galleries or brands can we look forward to meeting this year?

We’re very excited to welcome two new galleries dealing in Asian material, Carole Davenport and Onishi gallery, both from New York, will be joining us. Carole Davenport specializes in a variety of classic Asian works, and Onishi in Japanese metal work and ceramics. We also look forward to welcoming Tambaran our first tribal arts gallery. It’s always fun to look around the fair and figure out what periods or genres of design aren’t represented. Asian and tribal arts were a huge gap and we’re to happy to have them included in this year’s roster.

You often bring high jewelry designs to the event. Do you feel fine jewelry and fine art often intersect with collectors?

While art and design and high jewelry are purchased by the same collectors, we’ve always been a bit purist about not having jewelry on the floor of the fair. Instead, we’ve supported exhibitions by individual or groups of jewelers in the historic rooms at the front of the Armory.

However, this year, there will be some jewelry on the floor for the first time. While we haven’t invited any galleries that sell only jewelry, Ornamentum, Macklowe and Negropontes galleries will all feature jewelry in their booths in the larger context of design. Our special jewelry exhibition this year is Didier of London who will bring a curated exhibition of jewelry by artists and architects.

Macklowe: 1956

From 20th century to contemporary art, what constitutes ‘blue-chip’ art?

Blue chip art is modern or contemporary art that’s been made by artists who have become household names. Most likely, it has been proven at auction over time and generally brings large prices. In the design sphere it’s a little more complicated and nuanced. For example, Wendell Castle, Ettore Sottsos, and Frank Lloyd Wright obviously fall into that blue chip category, but there are living contemporary designers who are certainly considered extremely desirable by man.

The Campana brothers come to mind as does Gaetano Pesce or Faye Toogood.

Friedman Benda: Faye Toogood

What advise would you give to someone who would like to begin curating an art collection?

I would tell anyone starting a collection to spend as much time as possible looking before they buy and to buy what they love. Markets shouldn’t enter into it. Though, of course, fine art commands huge prices, I would never tell anyone to consider resale value. They should buy the very best pieces they can afford and, above all, enjoy their acquisitions.

Do you have a favorite piece of art that you personally cherish?

I’m lucky enough to have quite a few pieces that I love. If there was one thing I would like to keep forever, it’s a painting by a Hungarian artist name Stefan Kurtan. Stefan made an incredible series of mid-century modern houses and you think you know what they are. In fact, none exists, they are all from Stefan’s imagination. I have one 6×8’ painting of a house that looks like it’s in Palm Springs and is very Wrightian. It’s painted with gold leaf applied to the leaves of the trees against a silvery blue sky. The colors look like they came out of a medieval manuscript. It has pride of place in my living room.

You are also known for your supportive work for various children’s charities in New York.

Do you feel that the arts and design should be a larger focus in children’s education?

This is a hard one. Most of my work with children has been advocacy and direct service addressing food insecurity and the foster system. However, I was lucky enough to have a consulting stint at the Children’s Museum of Manhattan which had all kinds of programs for kids of all economic backgrounds. Seeing their faces light up—especially in interactive exhibits—was an incredibly rewarding experience and then I remembered my own childhood and how well art served me when I was young.

Silvia Furmanovich, 64, a Brazilian jeweler and scion of goldsmiths, is extending her reach into home furnishings. Her new collection — the result of a continuing collaboration with artisans in Brazil’s Amazon rainforest — includes vessels, furniture and sculptured objects made of wood.

Many of these pieces, which she describes as “jewelry for the house,” are decorated with inlaid veneers applied through the technique known as marquetry, and some are embellished with small brass creatures reminiscent of Japanese netsuke.

The items, which will be displayed in the Tiffany-designed Library Room at the Park Avenue Armory during the 10th-anniversary Salon Art + Design fair, opening in New York on Nov. 11, evoke tropical flora like white lotus, hibiscus, bromeliads, spotted orchids and gustavia pulchra flowers. The group also includes renditions of jungle cats, a sloth and a tortoise, carved by André da Marinheira, an artist in the state of Alagoas, in northeastern Brazil, with whom Ms. Furmanovich partnered. Prices are from about $2,000 to $35,000. Through Nov. 15, at 643 Park Avenue. thesalonny.com

CHRIS SCHANCK | LIVING BETWEEN THE PRACTICAL AND THE BEAUTIFUL

By Olivia Novato

Whoever said that furniture can only be practical has not met Chris Schanck. The Detroit-based artist and furniture designer constantly toes the line between art and furniture, sculpture and chair.

Schanck believes that disciplinary boundaries are to be pushed and genres to be blended, especially when it comes to his own designs.

Schanck will present new sculptural works with Friedman Benda at this years Salon Art + Design from November 11 to 15. His distinctive bright colors, odd shapes, and out-of-the-box use of materials have brought attention to Schanck, who has mastered the practice of bringing out unconventional beauty from the strangest places. For the 10th anniversary of the fair, Schanck will https://flaunt.com/content/chris-schanck

showcase a new cast mirror in anticipation of his retrospective at the Museum of Arts and Design in New York this upcoming February.

Flaunt had the chance to speak with Schanck and talk about all things Friedman Benda, navigating between art and design, and even his favorite piece of work.

How does it feel to be a part of Friedman Benda’s exhibition for the 10th anniversary of Salon Art + Design?

I feel grateful to be in the right place at the right time. This is an occasion to celebrate the collective efforts of all those who have labored with love to bring this fair to us over the past ten years. A time to recognize all the galleries that have committed to fill the Salon’s pavilion with their best offerings over the past decade. I believe the Salon goes beyond transactional relationships. It’s an annual cultural event that brings our odd little world together. A chance to connect with colleagues IRL we’ve only known through digital media. Most of all, the fair is now a part of the city's DNA. It opens its doors to the curious newcomer and expert alike to experience the spirit of design today.

Who else’s work are you excited to see at the anniversary celebration?

I’m in love with Shari Mendelson’s work. I believe their work is an enchanting bridge between our collective ancestral past and our littered present day from which Mendelson gathers their material. The work is imperfectly beautiful, reminiscent of ancient Greek artifacts, handmade, and finished in soft industrial palettes of blues, greens, and transparent milky whites. All which seems charming enough on first appearances but approach with caution, this work has sharp edges. It reminds us of where we come from and prompts us to consider where we’re headed or may have already arrived. What more can one ask of a single artist? They are of this moment and they have my admiration. https://flaunt.com/content/chris-schanck

How do you navigate between being an artist & a furniture designer?

I navigate between the two disciplines by following and listening to my own curiosity and intuition. From my earliest memories, I’ve always imagined I would become an artist. I could not know what form that would take over my 45 plus years of life. My foundation was built on the history and basic principles of the fine arts and design. Yet for some reason—perhaps some good ones—we find ourselves trying to distinguish and separate art from design. In a lay world, we could say design is a rational and utilitarian practice while the fine arts is an intuitive pursuit of beauty and meaningfulness. Or plainly put one is meant to be handled and used while the other is meant to be gazed and meditated upon from a distance. Consider that within the fine arts own historical critical cannon it was at one time best believed to keep the mediums wholly separated, out of fear of diluting them. But who now would deny the value and power of a fine arts practice mixed and multi-layered in diverse mediums?

A competent creative person can hold two ideas in their mind at the same time. Creative borders and boundaries are meant to be stress tested so that new forms and genres can emerge to more accurately describe our present day. Like the great songwriter said ‘The Times They Are AChangin.’

The chair you designed doubles as a sculpture and a form of seating—do you think of your designs first as practical or as being visually appealing?

A chair is first experienced with sight and then explored with the body. The combined experience is the power of design. https://flaunt.com/content/chris-schanck

You have an upcoming retrospective at the Museum of Arts and Design in NY that opens in February of next year. What can we look forward to seeing from you then?

Hopefully growth. It’s an homage to the mentors of my youth, my present day community, and a meditation on our fragile present day.

Finally, do you have a favorite piece that you’ve worked on?

The Mum chandelier—the power of art is whatever you will it to be. In this case, it was to make a collaborative piece with my mum. To heal and bond a relationship and mentorship separated years ago. In one hundred years no one is likely to remember my name, but my time here and now with my family, friends, and dreams of my work is the best way I know how to experience this worldmy work is my faith.

fter the odyssey we have been through over the past 18 months, everybody wants to do something to enhance their home, even if it’s simply adding a stunning new focal point to a room,” says Salon Art+Design executive director Jill Bokor.

“Now more than ever, we are hyperaware of our surroundings, down to the smallest detail.”

The 10th anniversary edition of the vaunted blue-chip design fair opens at the Park Avenue Armory on November 11 with a curated roster of some 50 galleries—among them newcomers Dobrinka Salzman, which specializes in mid-century modern design, and the tribal art dealer Maureen Zarember of the Tambaran gallery. Also for the first time, there will be a duo of dealers, Onishi Gallery and Carole Davenport, offering exquisite Japanese design.

by Brazilian designer Silvia Furmanovich.

Among the standouts, says Bokor, is Spin Love, an outrageously idiosyncratic “ping-pong table” conceived by Belgian artist Lionel Jadot and crafted by a team of 15 artisans, which is available from Todd Merrill Studio. The work, says Bokor, “is just killer.” “Personally, I can't imagine playing ping-pong on it because it’s just so great as an object, but, hey, why not have some fun?”

Other notable offerings include a suite of luminous works by maverick Irish lighting designer Niamh Barry, presented by fair stalwart Benoist Drut of Maison Gerard; a new line of colorful home furnishings by Brazilian designer Silvia Furmanovich; quirky pieces by Studio Job, tendered by R & Company; and sleek sculptural furniture by Pieter Maes at the stand of Les Ateliers Courbet.

The fair, says Bokor, is sure to offer a much needed “feast for the eyes.”

THE WHITELEY

Revival in London Remaking a Landmark The Victorian-era retail entrepreneur William Whiteley long dreamed of building a London emporium to rival the Crystal Palace in its grandeur, a place where, as he purportedly put it, you could buy everything from a pin to an elephant. But in 1907, he was murdered by a man claiming to be his son, and it was left to his acknowledged sons to realize his vision.

Working with Belcher & Joass, leading neo-Baroque architects of

the day, they created a sprawling department store on Queen’s Road (now Queensway), in west London, that became one of the city’s premier shopping destinations when it opened in 1911.

Whiteley’s, as the store was known, was a “magnificent theatrical design, with a very articulated columned facade, featuring granite along the base and Portland stone above, with cupolas and domes on top,” said Patrick Campbell, an architect with Foster + Partners. The firm has

master-planned a $1.4 billion redevelopment of the landmark, which fell into decline after its conversion to a shopping mall in the 1980s.

The project, scheduled for completion in 2023, will largely preserve the building’s facade and repurpose original architectural elements such as the central glass-and-steel dome and a curved ironwork staircase. But the remainder is being demolished and rebuilt as a mixed-use complex with 139 residences, a Six

Alan Eliot Goldberg, an architect based in New Canaan, Conn., and his wife, Gertrude Schaffner Goldberg, started collecting Mexican folk art in the 1960s, and in 2017 donated 1,000 pieces to the Mexican Museum, a Smithsonian affiliate.

(Its new home is under construction in San Francisco.) Since then, the couple has focused on Oaxacan folk art, which Mr. Goldberg said he admired for its high quality and for the artists’ embrace of their Zapotec and Mixtec heritage. Last year, when the pandemic decimated tourism in Mexico, and with it, artists’ incomes, he organized a competition for the artists and produced a book showcasing 27 of their entries. Published by the Mexican Museum, “Oaxacan Folk Art: Response to Covid-19” is edited and designed by Mr. Goldberg, with a text by Gwen North Reiss,

The printed copies were held up in a supplychain snag but are now available at mexicanfolkartbook.com. The price is $29.95 for the English edition and $24.95 for the Spanish edition.

State of Density Design in New Jersey Most state-themed magazines offer restaurant reviews and personality profiles. But not Dense. The twicea-year publication, which debuts on Nov. 4 — and which was founded by the writer and editor Lune Ames and the architect Petia Morozov — is subtitled “when design meets New Jersey.” Its name refers to New Jersey’s having the highest

population density in the country, and the first issue’s theme is “1951: The turnpike’s opening day & beyond.” The New Jersey Turnpike, with its major role in the state’s economic growth, offers a way to frame issues of history, public space, culture, equity and environmental justice. Among the 18 articles are a conversation with the chief of the Ramapough Lunaape Turtle Clan about the negative effects of growth on Indigenous populations; an interview with a man who hunts deer in a surprisingly robust ecosystem along the turnpike’s right-of-way; and a look at the turnpike’s role in pop culture, from “The Sopranos” to Simon and Garfunkel’s song “America.” Dense will run for only 10 issues, but each will “construct a larger framework for how we talk about design,” Ms. Morozov said. densemagazine.org PILAR VILADAS

Journey to a Center of the Earth Ceramics will be the focus of a gallery in New York by Roman and Williams.

By TED LOOS

The married founders of the architecture and design firm Roman and Williams, Robin Standefer and Stephen Alesch, are known for their dramatic room schemes that often use saturated colors and layers of objects to communicate richness and depth.

Their work includes the restaurant Le Coucou at the edge of Chinatown in Manhattan; the Ace Hotel in New York’s NoMad neighborhood; the British Galleries at the Metropolitan Museum of Art; and an indoor-outdoor dining hall for Facebook’s Silicon Valley headquarters. They designed many projects for the actor Ben Stiller, who made the introduction when they won a 2014 National Design Award, regarded as the highest honor in their field. They also did the Goop offices for Gwyneth Paltrow.

Their latest project has them coming down to earth: They are opening the ceramics-focused Guild Gallery on Canal Street in New York that will exhibit works by a dozen artists. The gallery opens on Nov. 11 with a show of the London-based ceramist Akiko Hirai.

The project grew out of Roman and Williams Guild, the couple’s four-year-old design boutique and cafe just a few steps away from the new gallery, though the true source may be “our total object lust,” Ms. Standefer said.

As they worked with ceramists to stock the Guild, where vases and dishes are mixed with furniture, lighting and many other items, the duo started to see the pieces in a new way.

“We realized there weren’t that many places that really housed, really supported these artists, especially in the U.S.,” Ms. Standefer said.

She added, “This is about isolating form, taking it out of context and really experiencing the object.”

Guild Gallery will have six to eight shows a year and may include artists who work with materials other than clay. The space itself, with mostly off-white walls, is restrained in a way that is fairly new for Ro-

man and Williams.

“We’ve been asking, ‘What does it mean to be more distilled?’ ” Ms. Standefer said, noting that the downtime of the coronavirus pandemic encouraged a new approach. “It took a while to get to a different level of quiet.”

The oak plinths that will hold objects will be a pared-back version of the firm’s signature retro-industrial style, but they will still have details aplenty. Long discussions went into the shadow line, or three-dimensional appearance, of the plinth’s edges, Mr. Alesch said; ditto for the delicate linen scrims that will separate the works.

The gallery’s opening comes at a time of

A time of renewed interest in ceramics. renewed interest in ceramics, as evidenced by exhibitions like the recently opened “Ceramics in the Expanded Field,” at the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art in North Adams, Mass., until April 2023.

“The revival has been happening for a decade or more,” said Luke Syson, the director of the Fitzwilliam Museum at the University of Cambridge, in England, and formerly the Met’s curator in charge of European sculpture and decorative arts.

“As we get further into the digital age, those aspects of craft that depend on contact between material and hand have become more prized,” Mr. Syson said.

He added: “There’s always been a connection between pots and people. Just think of the terms we use to describe them, like shoulder, belly and neck.”

Mr. Syson was part of the Met team that worked with Roman and Williams on the British Galleries, which opened in March 2020, only to be temporarily closed a week later because of the pandemic.

“As things evolved, we realized certain artists just required, and deserved, to be seen with more space — and I think the British Galleries had a lot to do with it,” Ms.

Standefer said.

The couple received tips on compensating artists and other dynamics from the international art dealer David Zwirner, who operates multiple galleries and is a friend and client. (Mr. Alesch and Ms. Standefer are working on a project for him in Montauk, N.Y., where they also have a home.)

“I egged them on a little,” Mr. Zwirner said. “I warned Robin, be careful what you wish for. Artists tend to be complicated.”

In particular, he thought that Guild could fill a gap in the gallery scene.

“We’re always talking about inclusivity in

the art world, and we mean that sociologically,” Mr. Zwirner said. “But we have to be inclusive making-wise, too. We have a brutal hierarchy” — one that tends to devalue craft.

“It’s a diss at Art Basel to say something is decorative,” Mr. Zwirner said.

As Mr. Alesch put it, “It’s a little old-fashioned to think of fine art as always of painting.”

He and Ms. Standefer are known for digging deeply into their interests. They have a kiln in Montauk and have experimented with firing clay there. When their travels over the past few years took them to Tokyo on business more than a dozen times, they explored Japanese ceramics.

“Our recreation on a Tokyo weekend was to walk around and see all the exhibits, all the small galleries with these poetic, perfect shows,” Mr. Alesch said. He noted that the robust British tradition of clay will also be reflected in the gallery’s program.

Ms. Hirai, born in Japan and educated in England, reflects both influences. She will be showing about 40 works, including large “moon jars” standing more than two feet tall. The jars, whose surfaces are covered with cracks, speckles and heaps of messy accretions, are inspired by a Korean example in the British Museum.

As they discussed how to arrange such objects, the newly minted gallerists noted that they had some early résumé qualifications. Ms. Standefer worked reception for the legendary dealer Leo Castelli and as an assistant for the Pop artist James Rosenquist; Mr. Alesch was once a guard at what is now MoMA PS1 in Queens.

Their more recent history with design projects has taught them that people are seeking tactile experiences, an urge that Guild Gallery may be able to satisfy, at least for some collectors (prices will range from $5,000 to $50,000).

“I think people are really interested in material now,” Ms. Standefer said. “With ceramics and clay, it’s from the earth, and there’s a purity. I think people love that tradition and that story.”

Furmanovich collaborated with Brazilian artist Mestre André de Marinheira, whose wood sculptures will also be up for grabs.

Museum of Art, in collaboration with the Musée du Louvre, the exhibition will occupy galleries on two floors, with displays designed by New York firm Diller Scofidio + Renfro.

The first part of the exhibition explores the cultural backdrop of 1920s Paris, where Cartier’s interest in Islamic art took root. On display are jewels acquired by Jacques Cartier on his 1911 visit to India, plus books from Louis Cartier’s expansive Islamic art collection, reconstructed here for the first time.

The second half of the exhibition houses some 200 pieces of jewelry boasting recognizably Islamic patterns, silhouettes and forms, including a spectacular bib necklace of diamond, amethyst and turquoise commissioned in 1947 by the Duke of Windsor for the Duchess.

The show was brought together by Évelyne Possémé, chief curator of ancient and modern jewelry at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, and Judith Hénon-Raynaud, curator and deputy director of the Department of Islamic Art at the Musée du Louvre. “The shapes and motifs from the Islamic lexicon within Cartier creations are sometimes obvious, but other times they’re more difficult to detect,” the pair wrote to Robb Report.

“This source of inspiration is an essential part of the house’s creations, but one that has not been explored in depth until now.”

The curators say they hope visitors will come away with a better understanding of the artistic process at a house like Cartier as well as of the Islamic world’s rich and fascinating legacy of decorative arts.

Meanwhile, in Paris, a new exhibition at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs underscores Cartier’s connection to India, whose maharajas commissioned some of the house’s most extravagant 20th-century jewels. Cartier and Islamic Art: In Search of Modernity, on display through Feb. 20, 2022, features more than 500 pieces of jewelry and precious objects, art, drawings, books, photographs and archival documents that tell the story of how Cartier found inspiration in the Islamic world.

Discuss Salon Art + Design with the Fair’s Executive Director

By Jeremy Howell

This year marks the tenth anniversary of Salon Art + Design, one of the most unique fairs in the country. After being forced to cancel the 2020 edition due to COVID-19, the fair is back in 2021 to showcase breathtaking fine art and incredible design. Art & Object's editor-in-chief spoke to the fair's executive director, Jill Bokor, about the history of Salon Art + Design, the upcoming edition, and the future of art fairs in a post-pandemic world. https://www.artandobject.com/news/discussing-salon-art-design-fairs-executive-director

Jeremy Howell: Congratulations on the tenth anniversary of Salon Art + Design. In what ways has the fair evolved and remained the same over the last decade?

Jill Bokor: Thanks for the congratulations. We’re particularly excited because as recently as August we weren’t sure we would be able to hold a Salon this year. So not only is it our tenth anniversary, but it’s live!

The most important way we’ve stayed the same (or gotten better) is in the excellence of our participating galleries. From the beginning, we sought galleries who were at the forefront of their fields and that remains true today. The fair, in its early years, had a lot of French galleries and one of our goals was to make it more international. Most years, we have exhibitors from thirteen countries; this year it’s eleven. Further, ten years ago, there was more vintage furniture and design.

Over time, there is a greater focus on contemporary work. Finally, due to COVID and the travel ban having been lifted so late, we have fewer international exhibitors than in the past and, of course, we hope that by next year we’ll have a lot of our old friends back in the fair.

JH: Your fair is unique in that it showcases art and design from a range of time periods. How do you think about curating Salon Art + Design? Are there any exhibitors or programs at this year's edition that you are particularly excited about?

JB: That’s a great question. Of course, curating a show where things are for sale is quite different from curating an exhibition. Still, we work very hard to bring the best of art and collectible design to the fair. Every year we seek out material that we’ve never had before, largely sticking to twentieth and twenty-first century art and design. We have a great core of dealers who’ve been with us for many years mostly specializing in furniture, ceramics, and lighting. A few years ago, I https://www.artandobject.com/news/discussing-salon-art-design-fairs-executive-director

walked through the fair and noticed that we didn’t have any glass galleries; now we have two great galleries one of whom sells midcentury and the other contemporary glass.

This year, we’re adding Japanese art and design also with two new galleries. One specializes in extraordinary and largely unseen contemporary Japanese metalwork and the other in traditional Asian art and design. We’ve also added a tribal art gallery, which is a whole new genre/aesthetic for us so that’s a new area for collectors to explore. The other part of curating the fair goes to seeing that two like booths aren’t next to each other. So you might see a contemporary ceramics booth next to a gallery dealing in 1970’s French furniture. It gives people a reason to look at every booth.

In the outer rooms of the Armory we hold our special exhibitions and they’re very varied. Studio Greytak from Montana will debut its collection of design work utilizing minerals, many of them millions of years old, in a very Montana-esque setting. Each year we have a special jewelry exhibition and this year’s is by Didier of London, a world-renowned gallery for artists, architects, and designer jewelry. Also previewing her new line of home design is the Brazilian jewelry designer Silvia Furmanovich. In this new collection, she has kept her special sensibility for high jewelry turning it into functional design. She has created a Brazilian rainforest setting in which to showcase these dazzling pieces.

JH: Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, fairs have experimented with many changes to keep things safe, enjoyable, and profitable. As we begin to come out of the pandemic, what recent changes to art fairs do you think are going to stick around?

JB: The first thing to say about that is that people are overjoyed to go to events in person. After twenty months of looking at art online, collectors are eager to sit in a chair they may be contemplating buying or feeling the texture of a ceramic in their hands. Of course here in New York, vaccinations will be mandatory and I believe that will be true for a long time. And maybe a little less hugging…

JH: What are your thoughts on the rise of 3D virtually rendered "walkthrough" fairs?

JB: Twenty months ago, the virtual showrooms were a great idea. They gave us a way of staying in touch with what was happening in the design world. But over so much time, there was a growing fatigue for looking at things virtually. I think it remains easier to look at art than design; if you’re buying a couch or a dining table, you really want the tactile experience. It’s human nature to want what we can’t have and now people are doubly excited to come and have the actual, rather than virtual experience.

JH: What has been the response by galleries and collectors to returning to a physical fair?

JB: Both dealers and collectors are just thrilled to be coming back. Many of these galleries haven’t done a fair in two years, so this is their first opportunity to exhibit in a public arena. They are all putting their best foot forward with the material they are bringing. And, equally important, they’re excited to engage with collectors and create a dialog about their experiences during COVID and making plans for a future that includes personal contact.

JH: Last year, in lieu of a physical fair, you published a magazine called Salon – The Intersection of Art + Design. You have decided to do another edition of the magazine for the 2021 fair. What are the challenges to capturing your fairs in print? What are your plans for the publication going forward?

JB: We decided to create a magazine exactly because there was a growing fatigue about virtual fairs. And it seemed that with people staying home all the time, they would be happy to have a beautiful publication to enjoy. The pivot wasn’t too hard for us as a lot of us had worked at art and design magazines before coming to Salon. When I moved from print to Salon, I felt that creating a fair was like bringing a magazine to life. Magazines are about pace and excitement, long pieces are juxtaposed to short takes. One page does not look exactly like the next, and you want to vary the material. All these things are true of creating a fair. The goal is to keep the reader/viewer intrigued from beginning to end. https://www.artandobject.com/news/discussing-salon-art-design-fairs-executive-director

The first [magazine] was really about what would have been exhibited at the fair had it been held in 2020. The new one has turned into an edition that previews the 2021 fair, speaks about related subjects like color and materiality, and reports on the state of the market for collectible design. We’ve put it out two weeks before the fair and hope it will generate even more excitement.

I’d love to make it an annual publication.

JH: As in previous years, the 2021 fair will be held in the Park Avenue Armory. What is special about that venue and why do you keep coming back?

JB: The demand for the Park Avenue Armory always has been and always will be great. While it has some drawbacks, the location and elegance are eagerly sought by dealers and unsurpassed by any other venue in the city. Further, many of our collectors can walk there from their homes. It’s one of the wealthiest zip codes in America. Its size means that we will always remain a relatively small and intimate fair. With 35,000 square feet, you can’t host hundreds of dealers. We love the size because each one of the dealer’s booths will always be seen.

JH: Having been around art fairs so much, what do you think makes for a great exhibitor booth?

JB: One of the qualifications for our dealers is that they create an immersive environment in which to show their work. If a booth makes a potential client think of his home, s/he is much likelier to buy. Of course, the combination of design and fine art is the ultimate way for people to imagine this piece or that painting in their home. You don’t buy a great piece of art and look at it from an Ikea chair. Equally, collectors who curate the furniture in their homes are not likely to be looking at blank walls.

https://www.artandobject.com/news/discussing-salon-art-design-fairs-executive-director

JH: Looking out at the next ten years, where do you see art fairs and specifically Salon Art + Design going?

JB: Overall, I think our model works for us. All the things we’ve talked about—holding Salon in the Armory, having varied material, encouraging immersive booths have resulted in our success.

The change will always be in the exhibitors and the material they bring. I certainly aspire to have more continents represented—to increase our footprint in Asia and to have art from Australia and New Zealand. I hope that we'll be both classic and edgy. Perhaps an area in which we might want to increase is with technology—to have more 3D printed design and whatever new technologies are being embraced by designers. We are looking to further the brand. In 2023 we plan to hold a Salon for jewelry.

JH: Is there anything else you would like our readers to know about the upcoming fair?

JB: Salon is always a labor of love for our amazing team. This year, they have essentially done in four months what they normally have nine months to accomplish. The result is the kind of event our participants and attendees expect from us. I think the public will be dazzled and I expect to see a lot of smiles as people walk through the very heavy doors of the Armory.

An Anniversary Bonanza for Salon Art + Design

By Sammy Dalati

It’s busy season at the Park Avenue Armory. The Art Dealer Association of America’s Art Show vacates the premises on November 7, leaving a scant four days for Salon Art + Design to build and outfit booths for its nearly fifty international dealers in vintage, modern, and contemporary design,and twentieth-century and contemporary art.

The first design fair in New York this year returns with a bang for its tenth-anniversary. A full complement of special exhibitions will be installed throughout the opulent reception and company rooms designed by Tiffany, Stanford White, Herter Brothers, and Pottier and Stymus. In the library, which contains one of two extant interiors by Tiffany in the world, the Brazilian jeweler Silvia Furmanovich (see below) will display recent work that takes its cue from the Amazon Rainforest; New York–based furniture and lighting manufacturer Avoirdupois will show sculptures from the firm’s new “Maleficence of Man” collection; and Didier, of London, which specializes in artist jewelry, will devote significant space in the South Hall to jewelry made by women. All that, of course, is only a sampling.

ARIELLE ASSOULINE-LICHTEN Brooklyn-based furniture designer Arielle Assouline-Lichten has been busy. The founder of Slash Objects recently appeared as a contestant on Ellen’s Next Great Designer and launched her sleek Adri Chair, composed of two marble slabs joined with brass hardware and a recycled rubber seat. “I was inspired by collage artist Adriana Jiménez Blanchet and her process of creating works organized into grids, but also with organic gestures and movement,” says Assouline-Lichten. “I interpreted these gestures as the natural veining of marble and the sling chair as an extension of that movement.” Here, she shares her design insights. slashobjects.com Origin story: I decided to be my own client and design all the things I was imagining. I didn’t know I

would turn that initial collection into a company. I love working at this scale—where you can create tangible products in a relatively quick timeline and control more of the process from start to finish.

On circular design: Beauty has the power to persuade, which is why my goal is to create beautiful products that integrate recycled materials. We are still in the nascent stages of circular design and how to make our society reckon with the materials we use.

I’d like to be a part of the trajectory.

LIVE NOW BY VICTORIA HAGAN With so much time spent at home during lockdown, interior designer Victoria Hagan developed a greater appreciation for all that our personal sanctuaries provide.

The designer recently released Live Now a reflective tome that considers the significance of home. “I wanted to explore the emotional connection between clients and their spaces, focusing on 12 distinct projects and how meaning, purpose and versatility have been imbued into each,” says Hagan. “My hope is that readers will glean from this book the importance of creating and celebrating nourishing rooms that best reflect their own lifestyle.” The pages are filled with magnificent residences in Palm Beach, Sonoma, Martha’s Vineyard and Manhattan. victoriahagan.com –A N G E L A C A R AWAY- C A R LTO N

SILVIA FURMANOVICH HOME

For Brazilian jewelry designer Silvia Furmanovich, expanding into home design was only natural. Her whimsical collection of jewelry boxes, vases, stools and objets d’art, debuting in November at Salon Art + Design at the Park Avenue Armory, elegantly showcase the handiwork of a group of artisans from the Amazon rainforest, particularly marquetry—a jigsaw puzzlelike method of applying thin slivers of wood to another wooden surface to create decorative designs. Furmanovich drew inspiration from Brazilian fauna and flora, which come to life in her trippy, multicolored mushroom stools. “Whenever you walk through the rainforest, you encounter colorful fungi throughout the forest floor and on trees,” she says. “All those vibrant colors are found in nature. We wanted to translate the mushrooms into an art piece and celebrate them.” silviafurmanovich.com

THE TOWERS OF THE WALDORF ASTORIA

SCENE

DESIGN

Celebrating its 90th anniversary this year, the Waldorf Astoria is undergoing an unprecedented restoration. It will soon welcome residents with the launch of The Towers of the Waldorf Astoria featuring interiors by French designer Jean-Louis Deniot. Sourcing inspiration from the hotel’s historic interiors—ornate Louis XVI neoclassical motifs blended with French Art Deco—Deniot created a modern space that pays homage to the 1930s.

“My work is past, present and future, which forms an atmospheric and timeless aesthetic,” he says. “You may find it hard to place exactly which moment in time you are in.” Here, Deniot shares his take on the new spaces. waldorftowers.nyc

The Residences (top left): “Everything is individualized, down to the front doors.

When you step inside, there is a beautiful marble floor—the first sensation is that of light and coolness from the marble.

I removed many layers of antique frames that had been added to the windows over the years, restoring them to their original 1931 size to create the largest possible windows. The primary suite was designed to create a sense of spaciousness and tranquility via the use of an enfilade—an axial arrangement of doorways connecting a suite of rooms, so that when you stand in the space, you can see the full length and width of the residence.”

Starlight Pool: “This was once a ballroom, yet I wanted to create something that had never existed before at the Waldorf Astoria: a pool. My starting point was an abstract flower on a 1930s Art Deco Japanese kimono used as inspiration for the ceiling grill design and the mosaic floor around the pool. The columns are clad with fluted Raku ceramics, a Japanese enameled tiling technique.

It’s meant to feel as though you are swimming in a ballroom.”

Winter Garden (left): “At the very edge of the pool is the Winter Garden, an area for those who don’t want to splash around, however wish to feel a part of the action. Filled with lush plants, you can relax, take in your surroundings and perhaps sip on a martini whilst doing so.”

BRIGHTER DAYS Workstead, the Brooklyn design studio known for its thoughtful conversions of historic buildings into sublime contemporary spaces—from Williamsburg’s Wythe Hotel to Park Slope’s One Prospect Park West condominiums—has launched a lighting collection inspired by the studio’s hospitality projects. The Orbit, a modern interpretation of an early American candle form, was originally created for Rivertown Lodge in Hudson. Signal, their version of the iconic globe light, was born from a collaboration with Urban Electric when designing the Dewberry Hotel in Charleston. Workstead is also fresh off the publication of the brand’s first monograph, Workstead: Interiors of Beauty and Necessity (Rizzoli, New York, 2021).

“We approach our interior design projects with two opposing forces at play—the idea of beauty, or material depth, and the idea of utility, or necessity,” says Robert Highsmith, who cofounded the studio in 2009. “Lighting necessitates breaking down the scale of space by introducing layers, but it also provides an opportunity to make a statement on the scale of an object.” workstead.com

RITORNO AL SALONE DEL DESIGN Alla decima edizione, la fiera di arte e arredi vintage, moderni e contemporanei, con un occhio all’archeologia e all’Oriente, torna in presenza. Di Laura Civinini

S

alon Art + Design, rassegna di design vintage e arte contemporanea prodotta da Sanford L. Smith + Associates, celebra il suo decimo anniversario tornando in presenza nella storica sede di Park Avenue Armory dall’11 al 15 novembre. «Siamo feli-

cissimi di poter organizzare l’evento dal vivo, in particolare in occasione di quest’anniversario importante, proprio mentre l’arte e la cultura tornano a New York», afferma Jill Bokor, direttore della fiera. «Prevediamo un pubblico nuovo e più gio-

vane di collezionisti e appassionati, che hanno riscoperto l’arte e il design proprio durante la pandemia».

New entry e grandi ritorni

Sono una cinquantina le gallerie che partecipano all’evento, provenienti da nove Paesi

diversi, tra Stati Uniti ed Europa. Tuttora presenti molti degli espositori della prima edizione della fiera, come il newyorchese Maison Gerard, con arredi vintage e di oggi, o il parigino Chastel Marechal, che tratta design Anni 30-70. Fanno ritorno, invece, Donzella, di New York, che presenta una coppia di sedie disegnate da Carlo Mollino nel 1953 per la casa del Sole di Cervinia; Portuondo, di Londra, che espone un lampadario di Angelo Lelii per Arredoluce, e Glass Past, di New York, specializzato in vetri italiani dal 1870 al 1970, come l’esemplare di Vittorio Zecchin per Venini del 1925. Grazie all’alta qualità delle proposte, la fiera continua ad attirare nuovi espositori da tutto il mondo, A DESTRA: mortaio giaguaro in serpentino di cultura Chorrera (Ecuador), 1200-300 a.C. (da Throckmorton fine art).

dieci anni la rassegna si è evoluta, aggiungendo, oltre al design e all’arte, un mix selezionato di reperti archeologici greci e romani, esemplari di arte precolombiana e orientale, oggetti da collezione e di arte decorativa. L’eclettismo è alla base delle proposte del Salone, secondo le richieste del gusto contemporaneo. Ad esempio, Phoenix ancient art propone due statue in marmo di epoca romana del I secolo a.C.-I secolo d.C.; Ariadne, un vaso greco attico a figure rosse del 450 a.C.; Carole Davenport, ceramiche giapponesi del periodo Edo del XVII secolo (tutti di New York).

By Staff Writer

Promotion Dezeen : Le Salon Art + Design a lieu en novembre, ce qui en fait le « premier grand salon du design à avoir lieu à New York depuis 2019 ». Les lecteurs de Dezeen peuvent bénéficier d’une réduction de 20 % sur leur billet.

Basé à Park Avenue Armory à New York, Salon Art + Design a été lancé par Sanford L Smith + Associates en tant que foire majeure dédiée à la célébration de l’art et du design mondiaux.

La foire célèbre son dixième anniversaire lors de l’édition de cette année du 11 au 15 novembre, lorsqu’elle présentera une gamme diversifiée d’art et de design de collection, y compris la céramique et l’éclairage.

Les pièces exposées datent des années 1920 à nos jours et comprennent des œuvres d’artistes connus et émergents. https://news.fr-24.com/divertissement/art/163123.html

“Le design de collection est maintenant plus désirable que jamais”, a déclaré Jill Bokor, directrice exécutive de Salon. “Les gens qui ont été coincés à la maison regardent autour d’eux, et après un certain point, leurs yeux ont besoin de se rafraîchir.” https://news.fr-24.com/divertissement/art/163123.html

« Ils réalisent le besoin d’une nouvelle table à manger, ils veulent changer leur éclairage, ou se rendent compte qu’une nouvelle céramique illuminerait leur maison ; ils ont peut-être déménagé ou rénové, et cela a créé une nouvelle envie de changer leur mise en scène. ,” elle a ajouté.

“Alors que New York revient à la normale, il y a une soif de connexion et d’engagement, et Salon le fournira à son public.”

“When New York returns to normal, there is a hunger for connection and commitment, and Salon will give it to its audience.”

Salon Art + Design Is Back – and Worth the Wait

By Fred A. Bernstein

The 10-year-old show returns to New York’s Park Avenue Armory with an impressive roster of dealers and a robust assortment of furniture, fine art and jewelry.

NOVEMBER 7, 2021 “The market for design has been very strong during the pandemic,” says Jill Bokor, director of the Salon Art + Design fair. The reason, she believes, is that “people have had a lot of time to evaluate what works and doesn’t work about their homes.” But despite the collective embrace of online purchasing over the past year and a half, she adds, “people are feeling desperate for connection, for the chance to go out and see beautiful things.”

Salon, opening this week at New York’s Park Avenue Armory, will provide that chance. After a VIP preview on Thursday evening benefitting the Dia Art Foundation, the show will welcome the public from Friday through Monday. That’s a relief to Bokor, who wasn’t sure until three months ago that the fair’s 2021 edition would happen. (The 2020 one didn’t.)

Even when Bokor and Salon founder Sanford Smith decided, in August, to go ahead with the 10thanniversary event, they didn’t know if European dealers would be able to get to New York in November. “There was a lot of nail biting,” she says.

HOSTLER BURROWS is offering Danish ceramist Steen Ipsen’s ELLIPSE 3, 2021.

As it turns out, 11 European and 36 American dealers will be on hand, showing art and design from antiquity and — bypassing a couple of millennia — the 19th through 21st centuries. Patrizio Chiarparini, whose DUPLEX gallery is outfitting the Collectors Lounge in partnership with 1stDibs, says that Salon, “on both the exhibitor side and the public side, brings out the most interesting and the most influential people.”

Asked the difference between Salon and its only real American rival, Design Miami, Bokor points out that the latter, because it is a sibling of ART BASEL, can’t allow its dealers to show art. There’s no such restriction at Salon, which encourages dealers to present “immersive environments” combining art and design. “If someone has a really great painting, they’re probably not looking at it from an Ikea chair,” she says, explaining the symbiosis between important art and important design.

Only slightly smaller than previous editions, this year’s event is “lean and mean,” says Bokor. “We streamlined because of the pandemic.” Programming that requires large gatherings has mostly been avoided, although there will be a fashion show — on Saturday, November 13, at 7 p.m. —

by Spolia, which uses fabric left over from custom upholstery in a line of outerwear.

Coming from as far away as Lebanon and from as nearby as midtown Manhattan, the dealers (23 of whom are on 1stDibs) are enthusiastic.

In addition to furniture, MACKLOWE GALLERY will be showing jewelry, like an ALEXANDER CALDER necklace (left) and a RENÉ LALIQUE plique-à-jour enamel brooch (right).

https://www.1stdibs.com/introspective-magazine/salon-art-design-2021/

MACKLOWE GALLERY, based just ten blocks down Park Avenue from the Armory, is one of a few Salon attendees showing jewelry. Its display will include vintage pieces by RENÉ LALIQUE, ALEXANDER CALDER and LOUIS COMFORT TIFFANY. They will be surrounded by yet more Tiffany — floor lamps, table lamps and hanging lamps.

Macklowe specializes in TIFFANY LIGHTING, such as this 1900 DROPHEAD DRAGONFLY LAMP.

Five chandeliers, offered as a set, reflect the Moorish influence on the designer, who traveled to North Africa in 1870–71. TIFFANY glass is often associated with the ART NOUVEAU period, which was “another time when people were interested in creating total environments,” says the gallery’s associate director, Madeleine O’Hare. “Art wasn’t just something to hang on the wall. It was experienced and lived and used.” And like today’s designers, Tiffany married aesthetics with the latest technology — in his case, the lightbulb.

CONVERSO will focus largely on pieces by WHARTON ESHERICK, including his 1958 SEIVER SOFA.

CONVERSO, a mid-century American design gallery based in Chicago, will show several pieces

by WHARTON ESHERICK, including his show-stopping SEIVER SOFA, believed to be one of only three freestanding sofas that Esherick produced in a lifetime of furniture making. Made for Lawrence and Alice Seiver, who were musicians, the piece reflects Esherick’s synesthesia — to him, its supple form corresponded to sounds.

The Converso booth will also feature SOL LEWITT’s 1979 1-2 3-4 sculpture (left) and PAOLO SOLERI’s ca. 1975 bell chandelier (right).

“This is my return to New York, and I’m very optimistic,” says the gallery’s owner Lawrence Converso. “There are pieces that will sell in New York that won’t sell anywhere else. And with the supply chain for new things failing, people more and more are turning to vintage.”

He also plans to bring SOL LEWITT’s important sculptural work 1-2 3-4, created to accompany a performance by dancer LUCINDA CHILDS in her 1979 collaboration with PHILIP GLASS; and a large chandelier made by the Arcosanti guru PAOLO SOLERI during a stay on Italy’s Amalfi coast.

LES ATELIERS COURBET will introduce exclusive pieces by Belgian-born designer Pieter Maes, like the FOLD SOFA.

LES ATELIERS COURBET, located in New York’s Chelsea neighborhood, is attending Salon for the first time. Its booth will focus on pieces exclusive to the gallery, including a new collection

by Belgian-born, Paris-based designer Pieter Maes. The gallery describes this as “drawing inspiration from archetypal forms” that date back to Neolithic and Cycladic cultures and reemerge in the work of sculptors like ISAMU NOGUCHI and CONSTANTIN BRANCUSI. Maes collaborated on it with the esteemed upholsterers of Jouffre and master woodcrafter RUTGER GRAAS.

https://www.1stdibs.com/introspective-magazine/salon-art-design-2021/

Maes’s new collection also includes his PALINDROME CHAIRS.

Pieces in bronze by RAPHAEL NAVOT and wood by MAURO MORI round out the display. Its theme, according to gallery founder Melanie Courbet, is “timeless forms executed with timehonored techniques.”

The stunning, historical rooms close to the Armory’s Park Avenue entrance will be used for special exhibitions. Artist John Greytak, of STUDIO GREYTAK, will turn the Colonel’s Room into an immersive simulation of a Montana landscape as a backdrop for his Universe collection, comprising furniture and lighting made from free-form mineral specimens and patinated aluminum and bronze sculpted to resemble craggy rock formations.

https://www.1stdibs.com/introspective-magazine/salon-art-design-2021/

The armory’s Colonel’s Room will be the site of an immersive exhibition by STUDIO GREYTAK, which will showcase pieces from its Universe Collection, such as its IMPACT and EROSION tables, shown at left and right, respectively.

Meanwhile, Duplex will outfit the Collectors Lounge with pieces from DRIADE, the Italian manufacturer known for modern furniture with an artistic edge. Among the Driade designers represented will be FAYE TOOGOOD, with her ROLY-POLY chairs; and PHILIPPE STARCK and EUGENI QUITLLET, with their iconic leather LOU READ armchair.

In partnership with 1stDibs, DUPLEX is outfitting the fair’s VIP lounge with pieces from Italian maker DRIADE, including PHILIPPE STARCK and EUGENI QUITLLET’s LOU READ armchair (left) and Faye Toogood’s ROLY-POLY chair (right).

Accompanying the seating will be FREDRIKSON STALLARD’s SERENO TABLE, its mirrored top reflecting metal legs that seem to have been formed geologically. Lighting is from FONTANA ARTE. “It’s a mix of very different sensibilities,” says Chiarparini, who could be describing Salon itself.

ARTIST’S TOUCH A NEW BEACH HOTEL IN URUGUAY’S JOSÉ IGNACIO FEATURES ITS OWN JAMES TURRELL SKYSPACE.

P

OSADA AYANA , on the Uruguayan coast, was designed in partnership with its owners, Robert and Edda Kofler, and the architect Álvaro Pérez Azar, to be a relaxed, adultsonly destination recalling the midcentury Riviera. The José Ignacio property features 17 guest rooms, all with private gardens or ocean views. The Koflers combed antiques shops and flea markets for vintage pieces, while local craftsmen made the selection of teas and toiletries, blankets and pottery. Art and design are important to the Koflers, and they had the goal of commissioning artist James Turrell to install his first freestanding Skyspace in South America.

Robert Kofler first experienced Turrell’s work when, on a ski trip to the Austrian Alps, he visited the Skyspace there.

“It became my mission to find out how to get in touch and convince him to do it in José Ignacio,” he says. Turrell’s Ta Khut, ancient Egyptian for “The Light,” unveils this month after two years of work. The white marble edifice sits atop an earth-clad structure framed around an opening to the sky. “From start to completion, it was a wonderful exchange with James,” says Kofler. “We learned a lot about his passion for light and the philosophy behind his projects.” posada-ayana.com. —Sallie Lewis

Feats of Clay How ceramicist Peter Lane and his team created a 32-foot-wide wall of clay for the Salon of Art and Design.

By Wendy Goodman

https://www.curbed.com/article/peter-lane-clay-salon-of-art-and-design.html

“I was painting. I wasn’t very good, sort of self-taught,” Peter Lane says about his artistic life before ceramics. “Then I went with some friends to take a pottery class, kind of on a lark with a sense of irony: Oh, who takes pottery classes? Corny. And it was love at first sight. I went to a pottery class and never left.” That was back in 1994, and since then Lane has built his reputation making monumental ceramic installations. Interior designer William Georgis commissioned the first large piece in 2006, and Lane went on to make works for six of the Chanel stores designed

by Peter Marino. In 2012, Chahan Minassian commissioned him to make the walls for the renovation of the pool room at the Hôtel de Crillon in Paris.

Over the past few weeks, Lane and his team have been creating a new work for the immersive installation — at 32 feet wide and 10 feet high — he’ll be exhibiting at the Salon of Art and Design at the Park Avenue Armory, from November 11–15. Looking at the process pictures reminded me of a quote from Gabriele D’Annunzio: “All enchantment is madness induced with art.”

I spoke to Lane as he and his team were working on it in his 10,000-square-foot studio in Bushwick.

So what is the finished installation going to entail?

There will be ceramic screens that are semi-transparent, and a daybed and a low table so it will be a fully decorated room.

How did you come up with the idea?

Well, I’ve been making these walls for a long time, so when the Salon approached me to do this, it was an opportunity for me to expose what I do. Obviously it’s simpler if I showed some samples, but the only way to communicate the scale and magnitude of what we do is by showing the full piece at its full scale, because we do installations of this nature. Our typical work is of this quality and magnitude. This is by far not the biggest we’ve ever done.

Is this the biggest wall you’ve done?

No. The Hôtel de Crillon is about twice this size. We’ve done a lot of different projects all over the world in homes, and some of them are quite ambitious. But when I was approached by the Salon, I really thought I wanted to show the magnitude and quality of what I do, and also the scope of my practice, which is not just the ceramic walls. I also make decorative objects, tables, and lamps — even though the main focus of my work is these walls, there is a demand for these other decorative objects, and I enjoy making them very much. So I am also showing tables and lamps and light sculptures from my product line.

Most people think about ceramics as being smaller. What got you going bigger?

As soon as I had the opportunity to work on a larger scale, it just made so much sense. I made a https://www.curbed.com/article/peter-lane-clay-salon-of-art-and-design.html

small one in my studio, 30-by-40 inches, which I thought was huge at the time. And then when I figured out how to do it, I realized I could cover the whole house. I could do a façade, I could do a retaining wall by a swimming pool — it just naturally expanded the possibility of what I could do. The first architecturally scaled piece was a commission I made for Bill Georgis, and then I started working with Chahan in Paris, and he came to my studio and had an immediate vision: “Can you do this, this big?”

What’s the process of creating the walls with your team?

It’s the same team that has been doing this together for years, so everybody knows what they are doing and it’s really performative — almost like an event, because it’s clay and it’s a timing thing, and we have a process we work out. So we have the size of the piece, and we anchor a steel frame to the floor, and we have the clay prepared and then once you start, you can’t stop. There will be eight of us working on it together, and it’s this wonderful cooperative physical exercise, and we have to start on one end and work our way down to the other end. There are different styles to these walls, so they all have their own process. It’s really this fun, fun thing to do.

It’s made in pieces, I take it.

First, we put down the clay and then we establish the dimensions of the individual modules, or tiles, if you will — they weigh 150 pounds each. We have a special laser tool to cut them. Then we poke holes in it while it is still wet, so those become the screw holes, so the whole thing mounts to the wall with screws directly to the face. But all this texture simply obscures the fact that there are screw holes.

Liam Lee Doesn’t Mind If His Work Unsettles You The fiber artist reveals a new furniture line inspired by microbes and enoki mushrooms.

By Diana Budds

https://www.curbed.com/2021/11/liam-lee-felted-wool-furniture-design-nature.html

Liam Lee’s designs often look like something that could come from the concept drawing for a futuristic sci-fi film. He sculpts furniture and dimensional textiles from brightly colored wool he hand dyes and hand-felts, riffing on forms he’s seen under a microscope and in the natural world: a coral-hued stool that looks like a tangle of intestines, a bumpy chartreuse chair that’s looks like some sort of metastatic growth, a sculptural textile with a snaking pattern that looks like bacteria under a microscope. Lee is excited by what viewers associate with his work, even if they’re a little repulsed by it. “I like that some people might be disgusted because you’re in this weird space where an object is either considered really beautiful or just this gross, unapproachable thing,” he says. “I want the viewer to approach it without any preconceived notions of what it is supposed to be.”

Liam Lee sketches and paints abstract shapes that are loosely based on forms he sees in the natural world. He then references these drawings and paintings in his felted textile panels and furniture. Photo: Chris Mottalini

https://www.curbed.com/2021/11/liam-lee-felted-wool-furniture-design-nature.html

While studying how modernist writers used domestic spaces to build their characters, like James Joyce did in Dubliners, Lee became interested in how interior design reflects what’s happening in our minds. During the pandemic, Lee became more obsessed with this idea. “When we were all sort of trapped in lockdown, I was thinking about how the domestic interior can become this space of safety and anxiety, where you’re worried about pathogens or people coming in, and you’re just trying to seal everything,” he says. His furniture is about that porousness between the outside world and our interiors — embracing it through design that references microbes, seed pods, fungi, and natural forms.

Lee picked up fiber art as a hobby just a few years ago. He wanted a creative outlet outside of the work he was doing for the set designer Mary Howard, and felting was a craft he could do without making much of a mess in his apartment. Since then, he’s experienced a quick ascent. He sold his first piece, a hand-felted textile panel, in 2019 at Café Forgot and soon after had his work picked up by the Noguchi Museum Store and Heath Ceramics. This summer, Pink Essay included one of Lee’s textile panels in its “Home Around You” group show. Next week, Lee’s exhibiting his first furniture collection of six pieces with the career-making design dealer Patrick Parrish at Salon Art & Design and will show more of his textile panels at the FOG Design+Art fair in San Francisco early next year.

https://www.curbed.com/2021/11/liam-lee-felted-wool-furniture-design-nature.html

“I hand-dye my wool. The color of this textile panel is inspired by moss and the forest floor. I visited a Zen garden at a Japanese temple, and I was really interested in how this rectangle of moss there was treated. It was a continuous green surface, but you could see the forms it covered, and you could almost imagine what was underneath it. The forms are loosely abstracted notions of bacteria, yeast, and seed pods. I took microbiology in high school and really enjoyed looking at gross things under the microscope.”

Photo: Chris Mottalini

“I do needle felting in my work and was starting to build up the surfaces in my textiles — the early ones were fairly flat — and I wanted to push this material and see how sculptural it could become, so I started designing furniture. I initially made these furniture pieces without the intention of showing them. I was just focused on seeing what I could do with the material. I was looking at enoki mushrooms when I made these.” https://www.curbed.com/2021/11/liam-lee-felted-wool-furniture-design-nature.html

Photo: Chris Mottalini

“I was looking at a cockscomb flower when I made this chair. I love them since they’re so weird looking. All of my pieces are untitled, and I like leaving them untitled because someone could say, ‘Oh, this is a flower. This is a brain.’ The gradient in this chair was made by just seeing what colors worked together. It happened during the process of making it. I just hold scraps and bits of wool next to each other and see if I like the combination.” https://www.curbed.com/2021/11/liam-lee-felted-wool-furniture-design-nature.html

Photo: Chris Mottalini

“I try to push the wool into the form of a chair that also resembles something that’s completely foreign or that we don’t necessarily think of as belonging inside a home. Particularly during quarantine, when you’re unable to go outside, there’s this desire for nature, this desire for the outside world. At the beginning of the pandemic, I didn’t leave my home for three weeks except for getting groceries. By having domestic objects mimic or resemble something else from nature, you can then transform your home into a weird little dream space or universe where you don’t have to leave your home because you have this whole world contained within it.”

FOR ITS 10TH ANNIVERSARY, SALON ART + DESIGN WILL CELEBRATE MANY FIRSTS

By Ilana Novick

A VIEW OF MANHATTAN GALLERY CULTURE OBJECT, WHICH WILL SHOW AT SALON ART + DESIGN 2021.

After almost 20 months of virtual viewing rooms and attending art fairs from the couch, the first design fair of the season is back in-person in New York. From November 11 to 15, Salon Art + Design returns to the Park Avenue Armory, celebrating its 10th anniversary with nearly 50 design global galleries and a few special events.

https://www.culturedmag.com/for-its-10th-anniversary-salon-art-design-will-celebrate-many-firsts/

“Each year we look for things that we haven’t had in the past,” says executive director Jill Bokor.

This year, visitors can look forward to “a timeline of essentially the last 120 years with a nod to classical antiquities as well…you will see everything from furniture, ceramics, glass, lighting and fine art,” as well as some fresh ideas: important firsts that will set this edition apart.

New York’s Tambaran Gallery, which features contemporary, African, Oceanic and North West Coast art, will be the first of its kind at this year’s fair. Other international highlights will include two dealers of art from Japan, a country which Bokor says has been less well-represented in the past. Carole Davenport Japanese Art focuses on a range of classic Japanese art while Onishi Gallery deals specifically in Japanese metalwork that Bokor describes as “beautiful pieces made

by Japan’s living treasures,” a special designation for certain Japanese arts. In addition, Shoshana Wayne Gallery, a first-time exhibitor will be showing work by up-and-coming women artists.

Salon Art + Design 2021 will present its first fashion show with pieces from Spolia by interior designer Valerie Name, who makes clothing out of furniture upholstery. Silvia Furmanovich, a Brazilian jewelry designer who often works in bamboo, is launching her new line of home design.

Meanwhile, Trove is debuting a wallpaper collection, complete with a photobooth at the fair’s entrance.

Setting itself apart from similar fairs, Bokor explains that Salon Art + Design aims to blur the lines between its namesake categories and to encourage exhibitors and attendees alike to get creative in their offerings and collecting strategies.

Host Committee member Guillaume Coutheillas adds, “Salon always has each booth create an immersive environment rather than just placing different pieces next to each other for no particular rhyme or reason. Each booth showcases pieces in a way where you can imagine living with them in your own home, in situ rather than in a gallery setting.”

The excitement of being back in person, however, also means taking COVID-era precautions.

Proof of vaccination is required, as are masks indoors. The catalogue will be digital but for printloving attendees, Salon is bringing back a version of its accompanying magazine, with features on key exhibitors. It was a hit for online viewing room-fatigued visitors last year and provides an extra level of information and discovery.

Bokor believes these pandemic-specific changes won’t dim anyone’s enthusiasm. Attendees are going for the fair itself of course, “but they’re also going to be there to see each other, and talk, and argue,” she says. “This year will be a point of connection for so many people who have felt that they haven’t had that opportunity for 20 months.”

Plenty to See Here: The Jewelry Situation at Salon Art + Design

By Amy Elliott

On Thursday, Salon Art + Design, the fair produced by Sanford L. Smith + Associates, returns to New York City for its 10th anniversary edition. Spanning vintage, modern, and contemporary categories, the Salon will gather nearly 50 leading dealers and galleries from around the world in the city’s beloved Park Avenue Armory. https://www.jckonline.com/editorial-article/salon-art-design-2021/

With a few exceptions, the exhibitors largely comprise specialists in the word of fine arts and interior design, but, as in previous years, jewelry and jewelry-adjacent objects are a natural complement to this milieu as well as a magnet for the collector who appreciates aesthetics and craftsmanship on multiple levels.

Galerie Negropontes in Paris returns to Salon Art + Design with an array of pieces including silver rings by jewelry designer Jean-Christophe Malaval.

Upon entering the Armory, there are a handful of special exhibitions that will be of particular interest to jewelry enthusiasts.

In the Library, Brazilian jewelry designer Silvia Furmanovich will showcase a new line of marquetry objects for the home—stools, mirrors, tables, trays, vases, and bowls—in an installation that pays tribute to the Amazon rain forest. https://www.jckonline.com/editorial-article/salon-art-design-2021/

The Colonel’s Room is an immersive experience of gems and minerals as imagined by John Greytak of the Montana-based Studio Greytak. An homage to Montana’s natural wonders, which inspire all of Studio Greytak’s sculpture and furnishings, the Universe collection takes center stage.

The series explores the mysteries of the natural world—earth, sky, sea, and space—through gems and minerals, from a bowl made of crystalline blue aragonite and calcite to twin wall mirrors made in multi-ringed slices of agate.

In the South Hall, London’s Didier Ltd. will be presenting a selection of jewels created by painters and sculptors whose artworks are collected and prized internationally, although their contributions to jewelry design might be less well known. The majority will concentrate on jewelry by women artists who often started by making pieces for themselves, so that the jewelry they wore became an extension of their artistic persona.

Jois ring in 18k gold with kinetic articulated ruffle, designed by Barbara Chase-Riboud and made by Gennari, Paris, in an edition of eight; available at Didier Ltd.

If you go on the last day, Nov. 15, don’t miss a special talk in partnership with NYC Jewelry Week honoring the butterfly-centric work of Wallace Chan. That’s at 12:30 p.m. in the Field and Staff Room, North Hall.

ON NOVEMBER 11th, Salon Art + Design will return to the Park Avenue Armory in New York City to celebrate its tenth in-person anniversary. The fair is known for presenting art and design in immersive environments intended to both reflect and predict the way we live. This year visitors will find galleries from Asia, the Middle East and Europe showing alongside those from America.

“Fairs like ours attract people who like to be at the forefront of things,” says Salon’s Director Jill Bokor. “I am proud of our chronological diversity – we want to provide a really good survey of what people can buy, but I always hope to have a few surprises for people too. The thing about fairs is that the danger of them becoming stale is all too possible. My job is to ensure that people never leave Salon saying ‘I feel like I’ve seen that before’.”

2021’s edition of Salon Art + Design confirms the fair’s reputation: antiquities mix with tribal art, and examples of both design and fine art from every decade of the 20th century sit alongside work from the first two decades of this one. But the spirit is more forward-looking than ever. Many of the almost 50 galleries are debuting their artist’s latest work, while the Armory’s historic front rooms have been taken over by a series of special installations featuring new collections by individual designers.

The Design Edit has been treated to a preview and here’s our pick of previously unseen work waiting to surprise in both the Armory’s front rooms and the gallery booths.

Les Ateliers Courbet + Pieter Maes Collection is the first in a series of limited-edition collaborations that brings together contemporary artist-designers and sought-after artisans with the aim, as the project’s Creative Director Melanie Courbet explains, “of giving birth to contemporary works of art informed by and anchored in cultural heritage.”

For this inaugural edition, Belgian-born designer Pieter Maes has worked with Dutch woodcrafter Rutger Graas, esteemed French upholsterer Jouffre, the stone artisans of Il Granito, and wood manufacturers 3DW. The resulting collection of hand-made tables and seats show Maes exploring freer forms. “There’s something powerful about the serenity and mystery of these essential shapes,” he says. “I have become obsessed with making simple, unfussy work that triggers something very ancient and dormant in people.”

‘Mobile Chandelier’ by lighting designer Michael Anastassiades is a beautiful sketch of a light made from green patinated brass and mouth-blown opaline glass spheres debuting at Friedman Benda’s booth. Despite its name, this chandelier was inspired not by a mobile, but by a plant Anastassiades received as a gift. “I became fascinated by the ever-changing quality of its colour tonalities,” he explains. “The vividness of the green tints would vary depending on the daylight and the plant growth and I wanted to capture its essential colour on one day in June, to freeze time.”

Idiosyncratic objects referencing pop culture and baroque ornamentation are hallmarks of Antwerp-based Studio Job. ‘Weeping Lantern’, an eery floor lamp-cum-sculpture which the Studio’s founder, Job Smeets, is presenting at Salon Art + Design with New York gallery R & Company, speaks to all these themes. Made from a combination of glass and polished and patinated bronze, it demonstrates Smeet’s mastery of materials and ability to combine wit, tradition, design and art in a single work. “This piece plays with the states of matter, shaping an industrial object gently into the impossible,” he says. “It is the meeting point between gravity-defying sculpture and realistic surrealism.”

American contemporary design gallery The Future Perfect is showing a new collection of powerful, organic stone objects, furniture pieces and wall hangings by the Costa Rica-based sculptor and designer Ian Collings.

Collings is interested in materiality and the nature of things. He sees the stones he carves into as “lithified bits of stardust” and the resulting monolith-like objects with their ambiguous forms are, he says, “a result of my internal reflections on time, systems, emergence and a primary respect for the story of each rock.”

https://thedesignedit.com/the-salon-art-design-2021/

Ian Collings, ‘Stone Seat –marble’, 2021 COURTESY: The Future Perfect & Ian Collings

His furniture pieces – stools and tables hand carved from ancient stone –represent an extension of Collings’s sculptural prowess. As the gallery’s founder David Alhadeff explains, “these pieces engage in a dialectical understanding of object construction as a substantive and transitory process.

Treating the materials as a set of ‘primary data’, Collings compiles raw, metamorphosed information taken from the earth into synthesised forms that are recognisable as functional objects.”

‘Stone Table – Red Travertine (II)’, 2021 by Ian Collings. Unique Piece. $11,500 ‘Stone Seat – Marble’, 2021 by Ian Collings, Unique Piece. $16,100 Visitors to the Armory Library will be transported to the Amazon rainforest thanks to an installation by Brazilian jewellery designer Silvia Furmanovich. Her first collection of objects for the home comprises brilliantly decorative, marquetry stools, mirrors, tables, trays, vases and bowls made in collaboration with artisans based in the Brazilian rainforest. These craftspeople use fallen branches and veneers they find in the forest to create the intricate designs, and the resulting pieces both celebrate an age-old skill and prove its relevance in the contemporary world.

Occupying the space beneath the building’s Grand Staircase is the first furniture collection from Paris-based designer and architect, Nathan Litera. Made from noble materials – wood, stone, alabaster and marble – ‘Altana’ is inspired by the architecture of Venetian Palazzi, and the tables, pendant lights and table objects all reference the details found in these palaces such as lancet arches and the quatrefoil (the ornamental design resembling a four-leaf clover).

The Colonel’s Room is home to Studio Greytak, an immersive, conceptual art project by Montana-based designer John Greytak. Greytak’s work centres on gems and minerals and explores the intersection between design by nature and design by humans.

His ‘Universe Collection’ of objects and furniture, which launches at Salon Art + Design, mimics the tools of nature on earth, in the sky, at sea and in space. His illuminated ‘Erosion’ three tier nesting tables, for example, celebrate the channels, gouges and unique patterns left by the forces of running water and blowing sand.

‘Luna Lamp’ with its gentle light references the mysteries of the moon – the porcelain globe bathes the unique formations of rough African malachite, both revealing and obscuring in turn.

‘Erosion 3 Tier Nesting Tables’, 2020 by Studio Greytak. Artisan cast aluminium with applied and inlaid Quartz. Each table has internal rechargeable LED lights to give the Quartz a warm ambient glow. Set includes one hand-cast glass coaster for each table. $205,000.

Discover New York Design Week 2021 New York Design Week 2021 highlights: our guide to the fairs, exhibitions and launches in the city during NYCxDesign, from ICFF to Salon Art + Design, and showings by independent brands and galleries

By Pei-Ru Keh

Like all other aspects of the city, New York’s annual design showcase NYCxDesign comes roaring back to life with several unprecedented moves since being derailed by the global pandemic. For starters, the design festival’s two stalwart fairs – the International Contemporary Furniture Fair and Wanted Design Manhattan – will come together for the first time to show under the sprawling roof of the Javits Center. Bringing the breadth of ICFF together with Wanted Design’s eye for emerging talent, and an expanded speaker programme, ICFF + Wanted Design Manhattan Talks, this co-location breathes new life into the cornerstones of NYCxDesign. https://www.wallpaper.com/design/new-york-design-week-2021-highlights-nycxdesign

This year’s timing of the festival, which typically takes place in May, also coincides with Salon Art and Design, a show known for bringing together vintage, modern and contemporary design alongside 20th century art. With both entities exuding an international flavour, but armed with a strong local turnout, the overlapping of both events means galleries and design showrooms all over the city are putting their best foot forward this week.

Salon Art + Design Marks First-Ever Jewelry Exhibits with Silvia Furmanovich Amazon Installation

The 10th anniversary edition of Salon Art + Design is taking over New York's Park Avenue Armory from tomorrow, with a highly curated celebration of art and design featuring immersive exhibits from over 50 international galleries and artists. To mark the first time that artistic jewelry has been exhibited, jewelry designer Silvia Furmanovich created an installation honoring the rainforests of her native Brazil and celebrating "the importance, rarity and beauty of nature".

In addition to US exhibitors, this year's Salon will include European and international galleries like Nathan Litera Paris and London's Didier artist jewelry gallery, which will be showing jewelry by female artists whose wearable art "became an extension of their artistic persona". Newcomers to the fair Culture Object will also be present, as well as Macklowe Gallery, which will be showing a newly discovered silver necklace by the abstract artist Alexander Calder alongside opulent examples of the iconic stained glass lamps by Louis Comfort Tiffany and wearable art by both Tiffany and Jean Despres. Appropriately, Tiffany designed several interiors for the Armory, each typical of the elaborate style of the Gilded Age.

The Calder necklace is a particularly exciting exhibit. It was recently authenticated by the Calder Foundation and was preivously part of the private collections of Abby Rockefeller Milton O'Neill and Ellen Hunt Milton Harrison. "This important necklace exemplifies Calder’s modernist interpretation of timeless forms of ancient art from across the globe, expressed in a playful way, on an intimate scale," says a spokesperson for the Gallery. "Here, Calder reinterprets the ancient form of the fringe necklace."

Elsewhere, Negropontes will be showing a series of sculptural silver rings by Jean-Christophe Malaval, whose soft angles and extra-terrestrial forms are rooted in the artist's exploration of mythology, science fiction and architecture. Says the gallery: "Jean-Christophe Malaval’s work is awesome sculptural work. Wearing one of his rings is like having a small sculpture close to you the whole time." The Salon will also play host to several talks, including a NYC Jewelry Weekhosted conversation around Wallace Chan's extraordinary and rarely exhibited gemstone butterfly jewelry.

Alongside the treasures in the gallery booths, Silvia Furmanovich's installation honoring the Brazilian rainforests celebrates the first time artistic jewelry has been included at the Salon.

Fittingly housed in the sumptuous Library, with windows and lighting designed by Louis Comfort Tiffany in his signature style, Furmanovich will be showcasing recent jewelry work as well as a debut line of objects for the home, including an incredible display of Brazilian wood marquetry in a toadstool stool, a side table inspired by a leaf skeleton, vases, bowls and mirrors. The designer told me more about the project, the importance of putting the work of artisans from the Amazon on the world stage, and how the rainforests inspire her.

You have created an installation featuring some of your newest work to mark 10 years of Salon Art & Design, and the inclusion of artistic jewelry at the Salon for the first time. How did this come about?

We are presenting our installation in the Library Room at the Park Avenue Armory, one of America's finest landmarks with extraordinary period 19th century rooms. This is the second room at the Armory designed by Louis C. Tiffany, including its windows and fixtures. It's a magnificent setting reminiscent of the Gilded Age, we were inspired to create an installation evoking the natural world - recreating a piece of the Amazon rainforest - which provides a powerful, contrasting counterpart to the original context. The setting inspired us to create an exhibition that conjures up the importance, rarity and beauty of nature.

Tell me about the new work you will be showing. What were your inspirations?

For the first time, we are debuting one-a-kind items for the home that are more sculptural in nature.

Many will be editions of eight with an emphasis on exquisite craftsmanship and how it relates to the worlds of art & design.

We were inspired by the richness of the Amazon rainforest’s fauna and flora. It’s a place I return to time and time again for my research. Every time I visit the Amazon, I discover something new, whether the colors of a butterfly or bird, a new kind of wood or a different species of flower or tree.

You chose to pay tribute to the Amazon rainforest in your installation. Tell me a little more about why this theme is important to you.

The idea is to celebrate and preserve master artisans and craftsmanship, showing how long it takes to make things by hand. We value things that are made by hand. We would like to give value and voice to the work of local artisans by presenting them in a world-class setting. These artists are located in the Amazon, a place of great beauty and vast natural resources, so we wanted to call attention to the richness that exists in this area of the world.

What do you expect visitors will learn about the Amazon forest through your artistic jewelry?

We would like to evoke the riches of the rainforest and celebrate the unconventional, exquisite forms of craftsmanship that exist in those remote areas. And hopefully people will be left with a sense that the world needs to work hard to preserve nature and our limited resources.

You are known for using unusual materials and techniques that reflect global cultures. Tell me about the materials in this collection and why you chose them to celebrate the Amazon rainforest.

For the works presented at Salon, we have used very thin and vibrant-colored wood veneer found by artisans in the forest floors. They also use veneer offcuts from the furniture industry, so there is a nice dimension of reusable materials here. These pieces of wood are cut into tiny slivers and assembled like jigsaw puzzle to create works of astonishing beauty and intricate detail.

Are you debuting any new techniques or aesthetics with the work on show?

We are delving deeper and deeper into marquetry, a process we have been exploring and developing for the last six years in collaboration with an incredibly talented group of artisans who live in the forest. This technique has a long tradition in the world's decorative arts traditions, but here, we've reimagined it in a wholly contemporary way. For the first time, we will also be showcasing sculptures created with outsider artist Mestre André da Marinheira, who lives in the North of Brazil and who sculpts felines and other figures out of wood based on the natural and animal worlds. He uses a lot of jackfruit wood, which has a magnificent yellow hue. Many of the woods he uses are parts of the trees that have fallen to the ground.

Salon Art + Design is at the Park Avenue Armory, New York City, November 11-15.

This year Salon Art+Design presents a special mise-enscène in the halls and the impressive staircase of the Park Avenue Armory.

Striking locations where art intersects with the concept of function through installations created for the occasion, such as the table by the Italian luxury brand Unica with its precious finishes, bright colors and artistic details, or the goldsmith’s art shaped by sculptors, architects, designers and painters, as narrated by the gallery Didier.

https://ifdm.design/2021/11/10/salon-artdesign-10-years-of-excellence/

Unica

In an exquisite combination of styles – between Italian Gothic and Byzantine influences – the Altana collection by Nathan Litera is inspired by Venetian palaces, evoking architectural details through materials like alabaster, stone and marble, while the aesthetic potential of classical art is translated in the wall art of the studio Trove, founded by the artists Jee Levin and Randall Buck, with impressive photographic enlargements.

“Guys, we need a Ping-Pong table,” said lighting designer Vladimir Slavov one night over beers at Zaventem Ateliers, a former paper factory turned creative space in Brussels, which is home to more than 30 studios. “I answered, ‘Yes, let’s make it!’” recalls designer and Zaventem founder Lionel Jadot. What ensued was a sort of rec-room exquisite corpse, in which 15 of the resident https://messaging-custom-newsletters.nytimes.com/template/oakv2?campaign_id=133

craftspeople spent more than seven months making different sections of the table, each with only the vaguest idea of what the eventual assemblage would look like. This week, the completed table, dubbed “Spin Love” — a clover-shaped crazy quilt elaborately inlaid on both sides and bisected by a net of woven brass and copper — will be exhibited at Salon Art + Design in New York by Todd Merrill Studio. It’s for sale for $450,000. “It’s also an artwork,” Jadot explains. “It can be hung on the wall or taken apart and positioned on its side as two screens.” toddmerrillstudio.com.

What to See at the 10th Annual Salon Art+Design Show Why not have some fun?

By Angela Schuster

GAME ON Belgian artist Lionel Jadot's "Spin Love," his radical take on a ping-pong table Photo courtesy of Todd Merrill Studio “After the odyssey we have been through over the past 18 months, everybody wants to do something to enhance their home, even if it’s simply adding a stunning new focal point to a room,” says Salon Art+Design executive director Jill Bokor. “Now more than ever, we are hyperaware of our surroundings, down to the smallest detail.”

The 10th anniversary edition of the vaunted blue-chip design fair opens at the Park Avenue Armory on November 11 with a curated roster of some 50 galleries — among them newcomers Dobrinka Salzman, which specializes in mid-century modern design, and the tribal art dealer Maureen Zarember of the Tambaran gallery. Also for the first time, there will be a duo of dealers, Onishi Gallery and Carole Davenport, offering exquisite Japanese design.

Among the standouts, says Bokor, is Spin Love, an outrageously idiosyncratic “ping-pong table” conceived by Belgian artist Lionel Jadot and crafted by a team of 15 artisans, which is available from Todd Merrill Studio. The work, says Bokor, “is just killer.”

“Personally, I can’t imagine playing ping-pong on it because it’s just so great as an object, but, hey, why not have some fun?”

Other notable offerings include a suite of luminous works by maverick Irish lighting designer Niamh Barry, presented by fair stalwart Benoist Drut of Maison Gerard; a new line of colorful home furnishings by Brazilian designer Silvia Furmanovich; quirky pieces by Studio Job, tendered

by R & Company; and sleek sculptural furniture by Pieter Maes at the stand of Les Ateliers Courbet.

The fair, says Bokor, is sure to offer a much needed “feast for the eyes.”

By Anna Casotti

Salon Art+Design @ Park Avenue Armory Una destination esclusiva che evoca la raffinatezza e la squisita eleganza di una New York d’altri tempi accoglie ogni anno la kermesse dedicata al design da collezione che celebra quest’anno il suo decimo anniversario. Cinquanta gallerie provenienti da ogni parte del mondo si trasformano in un affascinante “cabinet de curiosités” d’alta gamma, svelando rari manufatti, talenti emergenti, pezzi storici e iconici. https://ifdm.design/it/2021/11/09/salon-artdesign-10-anni-di-eccellenza/

Un autentico tempio delle espressioni creative, tra nuova avanguardia, sperimentazione e introvabili edition dei Maestri presentati dalle gallerie selezionate in ogni parte del mondo. Nomi celebri come The Future Perfect, Patrick Parrish Gallery, Friedman Benda, R&Company, Negropontes, Magen H Gallery, Todd Merrill Studio, Twenty First Gallery, Wexler Gallery, Maison Gerard, Maison Rapin, a cui si aggiungono in questa speciale edizione le acclamate Atelier Courbet, Culture Object, Dobrinka Salzman Gallery, Lobel Modern.

Culture Object, Lit Installation Prodotto da Sanford L. Smith + Associates con partner esclusivi come Moët & Chandon Grand Vintage Collection e diventato negli anni il punto di riferimento del collectible, tra eventi speciali ed esperienze immersive, The Salon Art+Design si presenta quest’anno con speciali mise-en-scène allestite nelle sale e nell’imponente scalone di Park Avenue Armory.

Luoghi immaginifici in cui l’arte s’interseca al concetto di funzione attraverso installazioni realizzate in esclusiva dai partner della kermesse, come il tavolo firmato dall’Italian luxury brand Unica caratterizzato da pregiate finiture, cromie accese e dettagli artistici o l’arte orafa plasmata da scultori, architetti, designer e pittori raccontata dalla galleria Didier.

https://ifdm.design/it/2021/11/09/salon-artdesign-10-anni-di-eccellenza/

Unica In una squisita combinazione di stili – tra gotico italiano e influenze bizantine – la collezione Altana di Nathan Litera ispirata ai Palazzi veneziani evoca i dettagli architettonici attraverso materiali come l’alabastro, la pietra e i marmi, mentre la potenza estetica dell’arte classica è traslata nella wall art dello studio Trove, fondato dagli artisti Jee Levin e Randall Buck, con gigantografie imponenti e suggestive.

Immersi in una scenografia evocativa, un omaggio alla foresta amazzonica.

Salon Art + Design returns to New York for its tenth edition The design fair will likely see a more comfortable, contemporary style that reflects the amount of time buyers have been at home since the rise of Covid-19

By Daniel Cassady

“This certainly isn’t the tenth anniversary we expected to have,” says Jill Bokor, director of Salon Art + Design, “but we couldn’t be happier that we are able to hold a live event this year, particularly on the occasion of this momentous anniversary.” Like most fairs that have taken place in person this year, Salon Art + Design lost several European exhibitors due to travel restrictions put in place because of the Covid-19 pandemic. But Bokor is excited to feature close to 50 galleries from across the globe, many of which will be showing a more contemporary, comfortable type of design when the fair opens on 11 November at the Park Avenue Armory.

“The emphasis over the last few years has shifted to more contemporary design,” Bokor says, noting that in the past dealers and collectors focused on mid-century modern pieces and would “punctuate a room or collection with a more contemporary piece.” The style of contemporary pieces has shifted as well. In the last two years the harder angles and jagged lines that were the hallmark of contemporary design have been ground down. The edges have softened. This can be directly linked to the pandemic. With many people working from home for at least a year, “it really is all about comfort now” Bokor says, “with perhaps a mid-century piece to accent the collection”.

Many of the fair’s standby dealers will return, including Friedman Benda, R + Company, Maison Gerard, Galerie Chastel Marechal and Vallois. The fair has also managed to woo several new exhibitors: Culture Object, Dobrinka Salzman Gallery, Les Ateliers Courbet, Lebreton Gallery and Lobel Modern are among the galleries who will be joining Salon Art + Design for the first time.

It may not be what the organisers expected, but given the excitement surrounding Frieze New York, the Armory Show and the forthcoming Art Basel in Miami Beach, there is little doubt that Salon Art + Design will see its share of eager attendees. “We anticipate a new, reinvigorated audience of design collectors and enthusiasts who have become more interested in the aesthetics and function of the home this past year,” Bokor says.

Salon Art + Design marks the very first jewelry exhibition with the Amazon installation Silvia Furmanovich

An inlaid stool designed by Silvia Furmanovich and made by Amazonian artisans from shards of … [+] wood veneer found on the forest floor.

The 10th anniversary edition of Salon Art + Design takes over New York’s Park Avenue Armory tomorrow, with a highly organized celebration of art and design with immersive exhibitions from more than 50 international galleries and artists. To mark the first exhibition of artistic jewelry, jewelry designer Silvia Furmanovich created an installation honoring the rainforests of her native Brazil and celebrating “the importance, rarity and beauty of nature”.

https://www.theswitzerlandtimes.com/salon-art-design-marks-the-very-first-jewelryexhibition-with-the-amazon-installation-silvia-furmanovich/

In addition to American exhibitors, this year’s Salon will feature European and international galleries such as Nathan Litera Paris and the artist’s jewelry gallery Didier from London, which will exhibit jewelry by female artists whose sartorial art “has become one. extension of their artistic personality ”. Newcomers to the Culture Object fair will also be in attendance, as will the Macklowe Gallery, which will showcase a recently discovered silver necklace by abstract artist Alexander Calder alongside opulent examples of iconic stained glass lamps by Louis Comfort Tiffany and wearable art of both. Tiffany and Jean Despres. Appropriately, Tiffany designed several interiors for the armory, each typical of the elaborate style of the Golden Age. Macklowe Gallery

The Calder Necklace is a particularly exciting exhibition. It was recently authenticated by the Calder Foundation and was previously part of the private collections of Abby Rockefeller Milton O’Neill and Ellen Hunt Milton Harrison. “This important necklace exemplifies Calder’s modernist interpretation of the timeless forms of ancient art from around the world, playfully expressed on an intimate scale,” said a spokesperson for the gallery. “Here, Calder reinterprets the ancient form of the fringed collar.”

Elsewhere, Negropontes will present a series of sculptural silver rings by Jean-Christophe Malaval, whose soft angles and alien shapes are rooted in the artist’s exploration of mythology, science fiction and architecture. The gallery declares: “The work of Jean-Christophe Malaval is an impressive sculptural work. Wearing one of your rings is like having a small sculpture near you all the time. The Salon will also host several conferences, including a conversation hosted by NYC Jewelry Week around Wallace Chan’s extraordinary and rarely-exhibited gemstone butterfly jewelry.

Housed in the lavish library, with windows and lighting designed by Louis Comfort Tiffany in his signature style, Furmanovich will showcase recent jewelry as well as a premier line of home items, including an incredible display of Brazilian wood marquetry. in a toadstool stool, a leaf skeleton inspired side table, vases, bowls and mirrors. The designer told me more about the project, the importance of putting the work of Amazonian artisans on the world stage and how tropical forests inspire her.

You have created an installation featuring some of your latest works to mark the 10th anniversary of the Art & Design Salon and the inclusion of artistic jewelry at the Salon for the first time. How did it happen?

https://www.theswitzerlandtimes.com/salon-art-design-marks-the-very-first-jewelryexhibition-with-the-amazon-installation-silvia-furmanovich/

We present our installation in the Library Room at Park Avenue Armory, one of America’s most beautiful monuments with extraordinary 19th century period rooms. This is the second room in the Armory designed by Louis C. Tiffany, including its windows and light fixtures. It’s a beautiful setting reminiscent of the Golden Age, we were inspired to create an installation evoking the natural world – recreating a piece of the Amazon rainforest – which provides a powerful and contrasting counterpart to the original context. The setting inspired us to create an exhibition that evokes the importance, rarity and beauty of nature.

Tell me about the new work you are going to show. What were your inspirations?

For the first time, we are launching unique items for the home that are more sculptural in nature.

Many will be editions of eight with a focus on exquisite craftsmanship and how it relates to the worlds of art and design.

We were inspired by the rich flora and fauna of the Amazon rainforest. It’s a place I return to time and time again for my research. Every time I visit the Amazon, I discover something new, whether it is the colors of a butterfly or a bird, a new species of wood or another species of flower or tree.

A side table by Silvia Furmanovich, shown as part of the jewelry designer’s Amazon rainforest …

You have chosen to pay homage to the Amazon rainforest in your installation. Tell me a bit more about why this theme is important to you.

The idea is to celebrate and preserve master artisans and craftsmanship, showing how long it takes to make things by hand. We appreciate things that are made by hand. We wish to promote and make heard the work of local artisans by presenting them in a world-class setting. These artists are located in the Amazon, a place of great beauty and vast natural resources, so we wanted to draw attention to the wealth that exists in this region of the world.

What do you think visitors will learn about the Amazon rainforest through your artistic jewelry?

We would like to evoke the bounties of the rainforest and celebrate the exquisite and unconventional forms of craftsmanship that exist in these remote areas. And I hope people will feel that the world has to work hard to preserve nature and our finite resources.

You are known to use unusual materials and techniques that reflect global cultures. Tell me about the materials in this collection and why you chose them to celebrate the Amazon rainforest.

For the works presented at the Salon, we used very fine and brightly colored wood veneer found by craftsmen in forest soils. They also use veneer scraps from the furniture industry, so there’s a nice dimension of reusable materials here. These pieces of wood are cut into tiny shards and put together like a puzzle to create works of stunning beauty and intricate detail.

Are you launching new techniques or aesthetics with the work exhibited?

We are getting deeper and deeper into marquetry, a process that we have been exploring and developing for the past six years together with a group of incredibly talented artisans who live in the forest. This technique has a long tradition in the decorative arts traditions of the world, but here we have reinvented it in a completely contemporary way. For the first time, we will also present sculptures made with the outsider artist Mestre André da Marinheira, who lives in northern Brazil and who carves felines and other wooden figures from the natural and animal world. It uses a lot of jackfruit wood, which has a wonderful yellow tint. Most of the wood he uses are parts of trees that have fallen to the ground.

Art + Design Fair is at Park Avenue Armory, New York, November 11-15.

SALON FAIR, STILL FOCUSED ON DECOR, NOW BACK AT THE ARMORY On Park Avenue, booths display an intersection of design and art, from Japanese metalwork to an American artist who trained with Tiffany.

After a year off because of the pandemic, Salon Art + Design is back at the Park Avenue Armory with a display of fine art and designer furniture shown in themed booths alongside splashy decorative arts and ancient sculpture.

The work spans millenniums and dozens of cultural traditions. Forty-eight exhibitors from 11 countries are here, many of whom made it just under the wire as the United States lifted travel restrictions earlier this week and opened its doors to international travelers (and their art wares).

Now in its 10th year, this fair may not be the showiest mounted by Salon Art + Design and its producer, Sanford L. Smith + Associates, but it is solid and, more important, open. Here are some highlights from the aisles and the Tiffany-designed Library Room inside the Armory.

Bernard Goldberg Fine Arts Booth D1 A specialist in early 20th-century American art and a stalwart of the fair New York gallerist Bernard Goldberg is stationed, as usual, just inside its entrance. He has brought with him a discovery: the American artist Renwick Taylor, about whom very little is known. He worked at Laurelton Hall, the Long Island estate and art studio of Louis Comfort Tiffany near Oyster Bay, which included gardens and stables.

Two floral paintings by Taylor in Goldberg’s booth reveal the influence of Tiffany’s famous stained-glass designs, but also, perhaps, the verdant landscape around Laurelton. “Jonquil” (1925) is a simple oil on canvas with a daffodil poking out of a purple keyhole shape painted into a field of white. Its composition is also reminiscent of the spiritual abstractions by Hilma af Klint, who has a show of watercolors at the nearby David Zwirner gallery on East 69th Street (if you can get in), which showcases her botanical drawing skills.

Lobel Modern (Booth B13) The New York dealer Lobel Modern has brought to the fair a wonderful hand-lacquered liquor cabinet by Tommi Parzinger, the Munich-born furniture designer and painter. Parzinger fled Germany in the early 1930s — he reportedly won a poster competition for a cruise ship and, therefore, safe passage — and set up his business in the United States, creating designs for a clientele that included Marilyn Monroe and Frank Sinatra. Electric bulbs installed in the interior of the cabinet were placed at a low level, turning the liquor bottles illuminated from below into a light show. The lacquered piece here has the perfect 1970s brown and orange palette. However, with its obvious, early 20th-century geometric motifs, it’s as if the Bauhaus got on a Braniff airliner.

YUKIE OSUMI’S “SILVER VASE BAKUFU (WATERFALL)” (2011), A HAMMERED SILVER VESSEL INLAID WITH GOLD DEPICTING A ROCKY SEASHORE. Yukie Osumi and Onishi Gallery

Onishi Gallery (Booth C13) On view at New York’s Onishi Gallery is a selection of metalwork created by “Living National Treasures,” Japanese artisans recognized in their country for achievements in preserving their cultural heritage. (Their works are designated as “Important Intangible Cultural Property.”)

Among the artists here is Yukie Osumi, the first female metalsmith deemed a Living National Treasure. Her “Silver Vase Bakufu (Waterfall)” (2011) is on display: a hammered silver vessel inlaid with gold depicting a rocky seashore, not unlike the popular Hokusai woodblock prints Americans are familiar with. The booth at Onishi is also lined with metal wallpaper (yes, metal wallpaper) designed by Atelier d’Offard. The French wallpaper — a bit like a pressed-tin ceiling — is perfect for this decorative metal-themed booth.

Silvia Furmanovich (Library) The fair includes gallerists and dealers showcasing multiple artists and designers, and special exhibitions devoted to individual practitioners, including, for the first time at this fair, art jewelry. Silvia Furmanovich, a Brazilian jewelry designer who has collaborated with artisans in https://www.nytimes.com/2021/11/11/arts/design/salon-fair-park-avenue-armory.html

the Amazonian basin in Brazil, created an installation celebrating the makers of marquetry vessels, or objects with inlaid wooden designs. The craftspeople in Furmanovich’s display, who are not identified, were all trained by one master, Maqueson Pereira da Silva, who studied marquetry in Germany. The vessels here — including one with a colorful Bromeliad flower design inside — use wood from branches that have fallen to the ground, or remainders from the furniture industry, in an effort to recycle and help sustain the Amazon rainforest.

MARTIN BODILSEN KALDAHL’S “SPATIAL DRAWING #60” (2020), A HAND-BUILT, GLAZED STONEWARE SCULPTURE. Martin Bodilsen Kaldahl and Hostler Burrows

Hostler Burrows (Booth B5) Ceramics are well represented at the fair, including a good selection of contemporary Nordic and Scandinavian vessels and sculptures at Hostler Burrows, a gallery with spaces in both New York and Los Angeles. Martin Bodilsen Kaldahl’s bright yellow “Spatial Drawing #60” (2020) is a wonderfully expressive hand-built, glazed stoneware sculpture. These pudgy, wiggly lines in space (hence the “drawing” of the title) look organic, like worms or some kind of acid-colored organism wriggling on a pedestal on Park Avenue.

THE GUARDIAN DOG OF THE GOD XOLOTL, 1350-1520 CE. Throckmorton Fine Art

Throckmorton (Booth C8) I’m never sure whether to highlight ancient artifacts and objects from colonized regions displayed in art fairs. How did they get here? Do they belong? But perhaps someone will buy this beautiful Aztec dog’s head and repatriate it or take it to a museum for safe stewardship. A wonderful MesoAmerican sculpture, carved from volcanic stone in the 13th or 14th century in Central America, it has been in a Californian collection for over half a century, according to the gallery. It depicts the guardian dog of a god who guided the souls of the dead through the underworld. The spiral designs on the ears signify water, and the tongue protrudes. Hopefully he will find his way to where he should be.

SALON ART + DESIGN: JEWELS IN THE CITY On Park Avenue, booths display an intersection of design and art, from Japanese metalwork to an American artist who trained with Tiffany.

By Sonia Esther Soltani

For the first time, New York’s prestigious exhibition is showcasing design-led jewelry among its works of art this November.

The worlds of art collectors and jewelry lovers often converge harmoniously, as the current Salon Art + Design reveals. The event, which takes place at the Park Avenue Armory in New York City, https://jewelryconnoisseur.net/salon-art-design/

through November 15, showcases 50 international dealers, a majority of which are art and design galleries.

For its 10th anniversary the salon, produced by Sanford L. Smith + Associates and set within period 19th-century rooms, has expanded its offerings by welcoming jewelry integrated within art and design pieces on the exhibitor floor.

Among the dealers displaying fine art and jewelry in their booths, there’s the Macklowe Gallery, Ornamentum Gallery, Didier and Galerie Negropontes. This gives the opportunity for exquisite pairings, such as a Lalique brooch shown close to a Tiffany lamp at Macklowe.

A noteworthy launch at this year’s edition is the home design collection by Brazilian designer Silvia Furmanovich, who for the first time created one-of-a-kind sculptural items for the home.

The jeweler, known for her use of organic materials, such as bamboo, and her wide-ranging inspiration, debuted a special installation that pays tribute to the Amazon rainforest. It’s been erected in the Library Room, a masterpiece of the Gilded Age designed by Louis C. Tiffany. She says the idea to create an installation evoking the natural world “provides a powerful, contrasting counterpart to the original context.”

As in her jewelry collection, Furmanovich emphasizes the need to “celebrate and preserve master artisans and craftsmanship, showing how long it takes to make things by hand.” She explains, “This collection is realized in collaboration with an exceptional group of artisans located in the heart of the Brazilian rainforest using the marquetry technique, which has a long tradition in the decorative arts but here is reimagined in a contemporary way.”

The award-winning designer is also debuting sculptures by outsider artist Mestre André da Marinheira, who lives in the north of Brazil. Inspired by Brazilian fauna, he sculpts feline and other figures out of wood based on the natural and animal worlds.

“We would like to evoke the riches of the rainforest and [show] that unconventional, superb forms of craftsmanship exist in those remote areas,” notes Furmanovich.

Here is a preview of the wearable art and art works displayed at this year’s Salon Art + Design.

Discover the Highlights from the Salon Art + Design Fair As the event returns to New York's Park Avenue Armory for its 10th edition, we share the most exciting things to look out for

By Lucy Rees

Salon Art + Design returns to the Park Avenue Armory this week, kicking off with a VIP preview on November 11 and remaining on view through November 15. In celebration of its 10-year anniversary, the fair is pulling out all stops, showcasing a highly curated, international assortment of modern and contemporary design, 20th century and contemporary art, and a sprinkling of fabulous jewelry.

Spread throughout the cavernous halls of the storied Armory building, there are plenty of highlights to look out for, including new monolithic furniture by the celebrated Belgian designer Pieter Maes at Les Ateliers Courbet, Liam Lee’s psychedelic forms that are inspired by nature at Patrick Parrish gallery, and a dazzling collection of furniture by the jeweler Silvia Furmanovich.

Presented in the the Armory’s striking Library Room, with windows designed by Louis Comfort Tiffany, Furmanovich has adapted her signature use of Brazilian wood marquetry in jewelry into a toadstool stool and a side table inspired by a leaf skeleton as well as beautiful vases, bowls, and mirrors.

“The idea is to create an installation evoking the natural world, recreating a piece of the Amazon rainforest, which provides a powerful, contrasting counterpart to the original context,” says Furmanovich. “We want to celebrate and preserve master artisans and craftsmanship by showing how long it takes to make things by hand. This collection is realized in collaboration with an exceptional group of artisans located in the heart of the Brazilian rainforest.

She once wrote that there is “something particularly meaningful about the way that metals can substitute the permanent for the fleeting and transitory, conferring eternity on phenomena that would otherwise have a limited lifespan.” Don’t miss the dazzling works of Tamagawa Norio, another Living National Treasure, recognized for his intricate and totally unique metal-hammering technique.

New York Collectible Design Fair Salon Art + Design Returns for a Robust 10th Edition Back in Action

By Adrian Madlener

New York’s contribution to the seemingly endless calendar of annual collectible design fairs, Salon Art+Design has carved out a niche for itself by masterfully bringing together vintage, modern, and contemporary design under one roof. Whereas certain blue-chip platforms purely focus on the new or the old, this now well-established event makes the critical link between the past and present, helping connoisseurs, collectors, and general design enthusiasts draw important parallels, especially when it comes to making shrewd decision on what to https://aninteriormag.com/new-york-collectible-design-fair-salon-art-design-returns-for-a-robust10th-edition/

acquire. Held in the storied Park Avenue Armory from November 11th to the 15th, this year’s Salon Art+Design promises to be as vigorous as ever; surmounting the complex challenges of the past two years.

Strategically located on one of the most affluent stretches in the world and close to 50% of the global collector base, Salon Art+Design goes straight to the source. Some international galleries opt for this event rather than other American fairs to reach this audience directly. Also drawing in many of these individual and interest parties—interior designers looking to outfit sumptuous properties throughout the city for example—is also a dynamic program of museum-quality talks and lectures. Adding to this particularly sophisticated offering is the encouragement by the fairs organizers for exhibitors to create immersive environments in their booths that best reflect domestic life today. The world has drastically changed in the past two years and galleries have taken stock of these shifts to inform how they present their wares. Implementing the historic building’s entrance rooms as part of the overall exhibition help break up the standard format.

“We couldn’t be happier that we are able to hold a live event this year, particularly on the occasion of this momentous anniversary, and just as art and culture returns to New York City”, says Salon Art + Design director Jill Bokor. “We anticipate a new, reinvigorated audience of design collectors and enthusiasts who have become more interested in the aesthetics and function of the home this past year. We hope to serve as the gateway to these aspiring collectors to experience the world’s best design and art.”

Joining returning exhibitors like Friedman Benda, R + Company, Maison Gerard, Chastel Marechal, and Vallois, are newcomers like Galerie SCENE OUVERTE, Les Ateliers Courbet, Lebreton Gallery, and Dobrinka Salzman Gallery. A staple of the New York scene with its championing of the best European craftsmanship, Les Ateliers Courbet will be presenting new works by Belgian talent Pieter Maes. Produced with Dutch master woodcrafter Rutger Graas, esteemed French upholsterer Jouffre, the stone artisans of Il Granito, the designer’s Palindrome Chair, Axis Bench, and Fold Sofa are contemporary interpretations of timeless archetypes. His fluid forms distill organicism in surprising ways. “This collection embodies the ethos of Editions Courbet through its timeless forms, its collaborative development, and the fabrication processes” says Les Ateliers Courbet founder Melanie Courbet “I was initially drawn to the designs for their soft, Japanese wabi-sabi feel and modern Belgian inclination.”

“Salon Art + Design fair has for many years successfully brought together the worlds of fine art, contemporary and historical design,” says cofounder of New York mainstay R + Company Evan Snyderman. “This November, the Salon Fair also will play the very significant role of being the first international design fair to welcome its patrons back for in person visits.

In celebration of this welcome return, R & Company has put together a booth designed to celebrate the joys of collecting. Focusing on new works by some of our favorite designers including Jeff Zimmerman, Nancy Lorenz, Hun Chung Lee, Rogan Gregory, Sebastian Errazuriz, and Zanine de Zanine. All of these artists share one common thread which is the use of a single tool…the oldest tool… the hand.”

Throughout the 10th edition of Salon Art + Design, visitors can engage with rare masterpieces from every major 20th and 21st century movement, if not also decorative arts pieces from earlier centuries and decades. Contemporary works on view range from the expressive and sculpture to the paired back and monumental, from the playfully and self-referential to the poignant and analytical, and from the traditional and contained to the unconventional and experimental.

Topping it all off is a carefully curated pop-up bookshop mounted by the Dia Art Foundation.

“This year’s Salon marks a special moment. We are all returning to a life where we can share artworks in the flesh and our artists are eager for their creations to be shared with a wider community,” concludes Friedman Benda founder Marc Benda. “For ten years, Salon founder Jill Bokor and her team have built a unique platform, enabling us to exhibit the visions of our artists and the gallery in a wonderful context.”

The Collectible Design Trends Gallerists Expect to Be Red-Hot in the Year to Come Ahead of collectible design fair Salon Art + Design, discover what exhibitors’ clients are coveting most

By Stephanie Sporn

One of the industry’s most anticipated collectible design fairs returns to New York City this week. Fifty galleries from across the globe will be in attendance at the Park Avenue Armory for Salon Art + Design, which celebrates its 10th anniversary this year. https://www.architecturaldigest.com/story/the-collectible-design-trends-gallerists-expect-to-be-redhot-in-the-year-to-come

Produced by Sanford L. Smith + Associates, the fair will also feature site-specific commissions, debut collaborations, and programs discussing the on-view selection of historical and contemporary design and art. In anticipation, AD PRO caught up with several participating gallerists, from fair veteran Maison Gerard to new exhibitor Macklowe Gallery, to learn what their clients are requesting right now—and make predictions for where the spotlight will be in the year ahead.

A Renewed Love for the Eclectic Theories varied on what design’s response would be following a year-plus of lockdowns and dejection. Eric Barsky, gallery manager at Karl Kemp Antiques, has a front seat for the pendulum swing: “Over the past year or so, designers have been looking for authentic character, and their thirst for eclecticism is stronger than ever,” he says.

Designwise, that manifests in sculptural silhouettes, experimental materials, and distinct textures. For Karl Kemp Antiques, the naturally elegant works of Gabriella Crespi have been in high demand, whereas Lobel Modern has seen success with rare pieces by Paul Evans, Philip and Kelvin LaVerne, and Karl Springer. “These will still be the most coveted 20th-century designers of 2022 because there is nothing like them, and their pieces cross over into the realm of art,” gallery president Evan Lobel says.

Photography courtesy Lobel Modern Paul Evans’s 1973-made Sculptural Top coffee table, which will be on view at Lobel Modern.

L’Art de Vivre The perspectives of 20th-century French designers continue to allure collectors. For the past two years, says Magen H Gallery founder Hugues Magen, the works of Charlotte Perriand and Pierre Chapo have been in high demand. “Although they never interacted, there seems to be an intrinsic connection between their bodies of work,” says Magen, who plans to showcase nearly 50 pieces from the respective designers in a satellite exhibition aligned with Salon to further illustrate their synergistic qualities.

Works by fellow French furniture icon Jean Royère will also be on display at Magen H Gallery, as well as at the booths of Gabriel & Guillaume and Galerie Chastel-Maréchal. The latter will https://www.architecturaldigest.com/story/the-collectible-design-trends-gallerists-expect-to-be-redhot-in-the-year-to-come

also be showing Line Vautrin mirrors, which clients are “going crazy for,” gallery assistant Pauline Da Costa Sampieri says.

Ceramics Mania Endlessly versatile, artisan ceramics can play well in layered, eccentric spaces and minimalist abodes alike. In response to “a great enthusiasm for creators like Georges Jouve or André Borderie,” says Da Costa Sampieri, Galerie Chastel-Maréchal will be presenting important French ceramics from the 1950s. Meanwhile, Carole Davenport gallery has its sights on Asian ceramics: A white porcelain moon jar from the Choson dynasty and Hiroyuki Asano’s granite Wolf Moon sculpture rank among the highlights of the Salon booth. Philadelphiabased Moderne Gallery is spotlighting American and Japanese studio works, namely those by in-demand artists Toshiko Takaezu, Peter Voulkos, Robert Arneson, and Estelle Halper.

Midcentury Brazilian Designs Pose Potential “Brazil is the last country where you can still discover amazing [yet] little-known names,” says Nancy Gabriel, cofounder of Gabriel & Guillaume. For Salon, the gallery is presenting a pair of armchairs by Branco e Preto, a São Paulo–based firm. The studio’s pieces are simple in shape, but have “execution to match the craftsmanship of the better-known Joaquim Tenreiro,” Gabriel says.

Produced in a market ripe with exotic woods, Brazilian furniture design will also be on display at Karl Kemp Antiques: The gallery is showing Forma originals designed by Carlo Hauner and Martin Eisler in the 1950s. https://www.architecturaldigest.com/story/the-collectible-design-trends-gallerists-expect-to-be-redhot-in-the-year-to-come

Buzzy Big Names In the chart of collector interest, there are a few names that consistently draw strong demand— Harry Bertoia and George Nakashima among them. “People from all over the world are seeking [Nakashima’s] works with some passion,” says Robert Aibel, founder and codirector of Moderne Gallery. That designer’s genius will be well displayed at Salon Art + Design, where Moderne will present several of his rare and unusual pieces, including the first chair that he ever made. (The design dates to 1935 and was made while Nakashima was working in Japan; the only other two known examples are both in Japanese museums.) Martin Greenstein, gallery director of Lost City Arts in New York, has also noted increased interest—and prices—for Nakashima, as well as “very strong sales” for works by Harry Bertoia.

https://www.architecturaldigest.com/story/the-collectible-design-trends-gallerists-expect-to-be-redhot-in-the-year-to-come

Photography courtesy Moderne Gallery Moderne Gallery will show the Early Long chair, circa 1952, by George Nakashima.

The Next Big Things In addition to their all-star lineups, many galleries are also spotlighting works by lesser-known designers, whose profiles will grow in years to come. For clients seeking “new and interesting forms in design,” Magen recommends midcentury French designer Henry Bataille, as well as French architect and designer Hervé Baley.

Guillaume Excoffier of Gabriel & Guillaume points to Paris-based designer Martin Szekely, who launched on the roster at Neotu Gallery in the ’80s. “He was always a favorite of art collectors for his contemporary designs, but recently his early works have seen prices rising very fast,” says Excoffier, who suspects that after Sotheby’s sales of Karl Lagerfeld’s estate next year, the designer will continue to skyrocket. (The late French fashion icon “bought loads [of Szekely’s work] for his last Paris residence,” according to Excoffier.)

Maison Gerard predicts an uptick in interest in the 20th-century French duo Guillerme et Chambron, whose “casual elegance” feels remarkably prescient, gallery owner Benoist F. Drut adds. “What we love is that many of the pieces have multiple functions—standing lamps have built-in trays to hold a book or drink; dining tables easily convert from small to large; and side tables can stack and hook together—all space-saving measures that work especially well for city dwellers.”

Jeremy O. Harris’s explosive play about a plantation-themed sex-therapy group for mixed-race couples has caused all sorts of fuss, playing provocative dom-sub games with the audience just as the fractious lovers do onstage. That pearl-clutching continued long after the first run, but Harris hasn’t let that stop him; like his muse, Rihanna, he has taken refuge in work, work, work, work, work.

New York Collectible Design Fair Salon Art + Design Returns for a Robust 10th Edition Back in Action

By Adrian Madlener

New York’s contribution to the seemingly endless calendar of annual collectible design fairs, Salon Art+Design has carved out a niche for itself by masterfully bringing together vintage, modern, and contemporary design under one roof. Whereas certain blue-chip platforms purely focus on the new or the old, this now well-established event makes the critical link between the past and present, helping connoisseurs, collectors, and general design enthusiasts draw important parallels, especially when it comes to making shrewd decision on what to acquire. Held in the storied Park Avenue Armory from November 11th to the 15th, this year’s https://www.archpaper.com/2021/11/interiors-new-york-collectible-design-fair-salon-art-designreturns/

Salon Art+Design promises to be as vigorous as ever; surmounting the complex challenges of the past two years.

Strategically located on one of the most affluent stretches in the world and close to 50% of the global collector base, Salon Art+Design goes straight to the source. Some international galleries opt for this event rather than other American fairs to reach this audience directly. Also drawing in many of these individual and interest parties—interior designers looking to outfit sumptuous properties throughout the city for example—is also a dynamic program of museum-quality talks and lectures. Adding to this particularly sophisticated offering is the encouragement by the fairs organizers for exhibitors to create immersive environments in their booths that best reflect domestic life today. The world has drastically changed in the past two years and galleries have taken stock of these shifts to inform how they present their wares. Implementing the historic building’s entrance rooms as part of the overall exhibition help break up the standard format.

“We couldn’t be happier that we are able to hold a live event this year, particularly on the occasion of this momentous anniversary, and just as art and culture returns to New York City”, says Salon Art + Design director Jill Bokor. “We anticipate a new, reinvigorated audience of design collectors and enthusiasts who have become more interested in the aesthetics and function of the home this past year. We hope to serve as the gateway to these aspiring collectors to experience the world’s best design and art.”

Joining returning exhibitors like Friedman Benda, R + Company, Maison Gerard, Chastel Marechal, and Vallois, are newcomers like Galerie SCENE OUVERTE, Les Ateliers Courbet, Lebreton Gallery, and Dobrinka Salzman Gallery. A staple of the New York scene with its championing of the best European craftsmanship, Les Ateliers Courbet will be presenting new works by Belgian talent Pieter Maes. Produced with Dutch master woodcrafter Rutger Graas, esteemed French upholsterer Jouffre, the stone artisans of Il Granito, the designer’s Palindrome Chair, Axis Bench, and Fold Sofa are contemporary interpretations of timeless archetypes. His fluid forms distill organicism in surprising ways. “This collection embodies the ethos of Editions Courbet through its timeless forms, its collaborative development, and the fabrication processes” says Les Ateliers Courbet founder Melanie Courbet “I was initially drawn to the designs for their soft, Japanese wabi-sabi feel and modern Belgian inclination.”

“Salon Art + Design fair has for many years successfully brought together the worlds of fine art, contemporary and historical design,” says cofounder of New York mainstay R + Company Evan Snyderman. “This November, the Salon Fair also will play the very significant role of being the first international design fair to welcome its patrons back for in person visits.

In celebration of this welcome return, R & Company has put together a booth designed to celebrate the joys of collecting. Focusing on new works by some of our favorite designers including Jeff Zimmerman, Nancy Lorenz, Hun Chung Lee, Rogan Gregory, Sebastian Errazuriz, and Zanine de Zanine. All of these artists share one common thread which is the use of a single tool…the oldest tool… the hand.”

Throughout the 10th edition of Salon Art + Design, visitors can engage with rare masterpieces from every major 20th and 21st century movement, if not also decorative arts pieces from earlier centuries and decades. Contemporary works on view range from the expressive and sculpture to the paired back and monumental, from the playfully and self-referential to the poignant and analytical, and from the traditional and contained to the unconventional and experimental.

Topping it all off is a carefully curated pop-up bookshop mounted by the Dia Art Foundation.

“This year’s Salon marks a special moment. We are all returning to a life where we can share artworks in the flesh and our artists are eager for their creations to be shared with a wider community,” concludes Friedman Benda founder Marc Benda. “For ten years, Salon founder Jill Bokor and her team have built a unique platform, enabling us to exhibit the visions of our artists and the gallery in a wonderful context.”

“Salon Art + Design,” produced by Sanford L. Smith + Associates, is returning for its 10th Anniversary to the Park Avenue Armory in New York City from November 11-15, 2021.

Presenting the world’s best design – vintage, modern and contemporary – enhanced by blue-chip 20th century art, the Salon will feature leading art and design galleries from all over the world, spotlighting the trends of collectible design.

The Salon’s inclusivity and willingness to consider both fine and decorative art in the context of contemporary life is predicated on the belief that today, more than ever, designers and collectors create environments rather than collect objects. The success of the 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 taste-makers.

Appealing to seasoned and young collectors alike, Salon offers an extensive yet curated range of pieces, ensuring something for everyone. The Salon is a vetted fair and the only international fair of this caliber to combine styles, genres, and periods cutting a universal and timeless swath.

At the Salon of Art + Design, I Fell In Love With Stackabl’s Colorful, Sustainable Furniture

By Wendy Goodman

https://www.curbed.com/2021/11/i-love-stackabls-colorful-sustainable-furniture.html

The Salon of Art + Design opened today through November 15, and trawling the drill hall at the Park Avenue Armory was an adventure where discoveries were many. One of the most delightful and surprising was the sustainable furniture company Stackabl, a design practice out of Toronto founded by Jeff Forrest in 2013. The furniture, launched in collaboration with Maison Gerard, pops in splashy primary colors. Equally great is the fact that it is sustainably made utilizing leftover materials from local manufacturers, including felt, ethically harvested wood, and recycled aluminum. These materials are configured into daybeds, chairs, benches, and settees. Maison Gerard introduced the platform by enlisting some of their top designers — including Drake/Anderson, Laura Kirar, Frampton Co, Champalimaud Design, and Georgis & Mirgorodsky — to create their own customized pieces, illustrating the possibilities of the technology. You can even design your own furniture. How about that?

I was initially surprised that Maison Gerard, famous for its high-end antiques and contemporary furniture, was presenting this ingenious new line, but as Maison Gerard owner Benoist F. Drut says, “Antiques are the ultimate recyclable, so sustainability is in our DNA. I was naturally drawn to this innovative project, which has the potential to redefine our relationship with the materials we choose to make furniture with, prioritizes protecting the earth, and has a goal of bringing a wider audience into the world of collecting.”

Weerasethakul à la lisière de la nuit Comme lorsqu’on entre dans une salle de cinéma, les yeux doivent d’abord s’habituer à la pénombre, les repères disparaissent. Puis surgissent les contours d’un corps inconscient, celui d’un homme qui dort, plus loin un chien rouge. « La conciliation art et cinéma se fait naturellement avec Apichatpong Weerasethakul », remarque Nathalie Ergino, directrice de l’Institut d’art contemporain de Villeurbanne qui accueille l’exposition « Periphery of the night » du cinéaste thaïlandais, dont le film Memoria (prix du jury à Cannes cette année) sort en salles demain. Palme d’or 2010 pour le fantomatique Oncle Boonmee, Weerasethakul, 51 ans, n’en est pas à sa première incursion dans le milieu très fermé de l’art contemporain : exposé dès 2001 à la biennale d’Istanbul, il montrait en 2009 une installation au Musée d’art moderne de Paris. À Villeurbanne, il démontre son grand sens de l’espace, jouant merveilleusement de ce lieu labyrinthique. Les rêves projetés aux murs des salles obscures se succèdent sans ordre ni autorité, laissant au

visiteur le choix d’un scénario à tiroirs. « L’exposition c’est la mémoire », confie l’artiste. Et nous voilà précipités dans son inconscient, les séquences filmées avec une petite caméra (pour certaines assez anciennes) diffusant par projection ou transparence ses notes intimes. Des enfants qui jouent sur une plage, un chien errant, un coucher de soleil sur la mer, un feu d’artifice, une boule enflammée que se disputent des joueurs de football… et beaucoup de dormeurs, dans le paradoxe de leur mouvement immobile. Une douceur intense se dégage de ces images relativement pauvres mais d’une beauté foudroyante, comme cette flamme qui embrase une femme inerte. Apichatpong Weerasethakul développe : « Les souvenirs dialoguent les uns avec les autres et prennent un sens nouveau. C’est comme une bibliothèque, un voyage dans le temps, un cerveau collectif. » MAGALI LESAUVAGE

Soutenu par

en 1891, qui a fêté cette année le 150e anniversaire de la naissance du poète et les cinquante ans de ses actuels locaux. Professeur agrégé de lettres, Stéphane Tarroux a débuté sa carrière comme enseignant de littérature française, grecque et latine, avant de passer le concours de conservateur et d’intégrer l’Institut national du patrimoine en 2011. Il rejoint le musée Paul Valéry l’année suivante comme chargé des collections permanentes et des expositions temporaires.

Devenu conservateur en chef du patrimoine en décembre 2020, il se dit très heureux de cette nomination : « Les enjeux sont de taille : il faut reconstruire la relation avec les publics après des mois de crise sanitaire, améliorer les conditions d’accueil des visiteurs, ouvrir le musée pour en faire un lieu de cohésion sociale, faire du numérique un élément déclencheur de la visite, rechercher un nouvel équilibre entre expositions temporaires et

collection permanente. » De son côté, Maïthé Vallès-Bled poursuivra son investissement auprès du Festival international de poésie Voix Vives de Méditerranée, qu’elle avait lancé en 1997, devenu avec les années un lieu de rencontre de référence pour les poètes français et étrangers. « Diriger ce musée fut pour moi une expérience extrêmement enrichissante. Avec le réaménagement du parcours muséographique, la restauration de nombreuses œuvres et la mise en place de trois à quatre expositions par an, nous avons, avec nos équipes, fait naître un dynamisme et approfondi les rapports entre poésie et peinture », déclare celle qui fut par ailleurs à l’initiative des Journées Paul Valéry, créées en 2011 avec l’objectif de « restituer l’œuvre de ce poète et philosophe, mais aussi dessinateur et peintre trop peu connu du grand public ».

La Fondation Martine Aublet fête 10 ans de mariage art-recherche 165 boursiers issus de nombre d’universités françaises dans le domaine de l’ethnologie, l’histoire extra-européenne, l’archéologie, l’ethnomusicologie, les sciences politiques, l’ethnolinguistique ou l’histoire des arts ; 26 expositions parmi lesquelles des accrochages consacrés à Pierre Loti, Hervé di Rosa ou Joyce Mansour, des focus sur la représentation de l’Occidental dans l’art africain ou les femmes au Vietnam ; 9 ouvrages consacrés aux cultures et civilisations non occidentales primés dont le dernier en date signé Philippe Descola. Le tout pour 5 millions d’euros reversés : du haut de ses dix ans, fêtés en ce jour au musée du quai Branly-Jacques Chirac, le tableau de la Fondation Martine Aublet est honorable. Mais ce n’est

certainement pas dans les chiffres qu’il est le plus marquant. Par l’accompagnement, à hauteur de 15 000 euros, d’étudiants en master, doctorat et post-doctorat, l’organisme est non seulement l’un des rares à soutenir les efforts de la recherche en sciences humaines et sociales en France, mais l’unique à opérer depuis le cœur d’un musée. « Nous avons créé une structure originale en France, se réjouit Bruno Roger, président de la Fondation au nom de sa femme, engagée auprès du musée depuis sa préfiguration jusqu’à sa disparition en 2011. Le musée du quai Branly est un lieu de rencontre, et le seul qui dépende à la fois des ministères de la Culture et de la Recherche. Or, d’une part les musées ont besoin des jeunes et des chercheurs.

D’autre part, nous pouvons y réunir et faire dialoguer toutes les universités françaises. La programmation, qui tient compte autant de l’actualité du musée que de l’air du temps autour de grands événements nationaux ou internationaux, est forgée en totalité par le musée. La Fondation finance mais ne programme

Nous avons simplement été à l’initiative de quelques principes de base : avoir des formats courts, réactifs sans scénographie dédiée mais un matériel muséographique qui s’adapte à chaque proposition. » Fort de ces avancées, la Fondation projette pour 2022 le développement numérique tant de son Atelier Martine Aublet, au sein du musée, que de son soutien à la recherche par la publication d’annales transdisciplinaires.

FOIRES

Bonnes ventes à Salon Art + Design de New York Si la 10e édition de Salon Art + Design, à Park Avenue Armory, du 11 au 15 novembre, a attiré moins de 2 000 visiteurs le soir de l’ouverture (en raison des restrictions imposées par le Covid), les ventes ont en revanche tenu leurs promesses. « Une fois de plus, Salon Art + Design a organisé une très belle exposition », a déclaré Nathalie de Gunzburg, présidente du conseil

d’administration de la Dia Art Foundation et co-présidente du salon.

Les frontières n’ayant ouvert que lundi dernier, les marchands européens ont été beaucoup moins nombreux à participer. Les habitués de longue date, comme Vallois et Oscar Graf, ainsi que les Londoniens David Gill et FUMI, étaient absents. Quarante-huit marchands de onze pays remplissaient l’étage avec une offre très variée. Parmi les nouveaux participants figuraient Culture Object, Dobrinka Salzman, Les Ateliers Courbet, Lebreton et Lobel Modern. « Le design n’est plus un champ restreint. Avec les antiquités, l’art japonais et l’art tribal, ce qui est exposé couvre des millénaires et différentes cultures », a déclaré la directrice exécutive du salon, Jill Bokor.

Contrairement à Design Miami, où les marchands ne sont autorisés à présenter que du design et pas de l’art, Bokor n’impose pas ce type de restrictions. « D’importants collectionneurs tels que Maja Hoffman et Aerin Lauder étaient ici, expliquait Valerie Cueto, conseillère en art à Manhattan, qui collaborait avec le marchand Gabriel & Guillaume. Les collectionneurs veulent voir une paire de chaises Royère en conversation avec un Basquiat », notait-elle. Les ventes ont été stimulées par un afflux de designers d’intérieur de premier plan, de Robert Couturier à Achille Salvagni en passant par Muriel

Brandolini et Alexandra Champalimaud.

Les ventes de la galerie ChastelMaréchal ont prouvé que le goût pour le design français ne faiblit pas. Aline Chastel a déclaré avoir vendu une paire de tables de cocktail de Jean Royère ainsi qu’une de ses consoles et un lustre en bronze doré Joy de Rohan Chabot moulé dans des branches d’arbre, évalué à près de 85 000 dollars. « Les clients étaient aussi bien américains qu’européens », dit-elle. Pour Benoist Drut, qui dirige Maison Gérard à Manhattan, les ventes de design contemporain ont été florissantes, d’une console en bronze de Mark Brazier Jones incrustée de blocs d’améthyste pour près de 200 000 dollars à trois tables en verre de Murano et quatre chaises tapissées de peau d’agneau de l’architecte et designer romain basé à Londres Achille Salvagni. Les ventes ont aussi été soutenues chez Lobel Modern, qu’il s’agisse d’un bar à alcools laqué à la main par Tommi Parzinger (50 000 dollars), d’une table basse en fer soudé et patiné par Paul Evans en 1973 (125 000 dollars) ou d’un buffet laqué en fausse peau de chèvre des années 1960 par le designer français Raphael (95 000 dollars). « Les clients recherchaient un design unique des années 60, 70 et 80 », a souligné Evan Lobel.

milliers d’étoiles suspendues du sol au plafond, les salles aux rehauts d’or plongées dans la pénombre et l’emploi marqué de la lumière pour sculpter l’espace confèrent à chaque objet le statut de trésor. « Au départ, je souhaitais présenter nos plus belles œuvres du XVIIIe siècle pour dialoguer avec le reste du bâtiment, confie Amin Jaffer, conservateur de la collection qatari après avoir œuvré au Victoria & Albert Museum de Londres. Mais le Cheikh qui fut fasciné par la France et le Louvre dès l’âge de 6 ans lors de sa première visite, a préféré choisir les œuvres les plus emblématiques de sa collection. » À la première salle, réunissant en guise de mise en bouche dix figurines de l’Antiquité au XVIe siècle, issues d’Afrique, d’Amérique du Sud et d’Europe orientale, suit une galerie de bustes retraçant l’art du portrait sur tous les continents de 2000 av. J.-C. au XIXe siècle, dont les choix facétieux rappellent que la représentation humaine n’a pas suivi un chemin linéaire de la stylisation au réalisme – bien au contraire. Vient alors la salle d’exposition temporaire destinée à recevoir deux événements à l’année dont le prochain, au printemps 2022, en partenariat avec la Fondation Gulbenkian. La présentation inaugurale mise sur un condensé historique de l’art islamique en 60 œuvres comme autant de clins d’œil à la créativité des empires safavide, ottoman et moghol. En juxtaposant pêle-mêle des œuvres tout aussi admirables venues de la Grèce antique, de l’Iran safavide, de l’âge du bronze celtique ou du Tibet médiéval, la dernière salle ne parvient guère plus à sortir d’une logique exclusivement esthétique. La lecture artistique, stylistique, ou historique ne se trouve alors que dans le riche catalogue signé par de nombreuses plumes expertes, mais certaines fonctionnaires d’État.

20 millions d’euros Lors de sa tournée mondiale à partir de 2014 du Metropolitan Museum de New York à la Cité Interdite de Pékin, en passant par le Palais des Doges à Venise ou l’Ermitage de Saint-Pétersbourg, l’approche sensible – façon réunion de chefs-d’œuvre sous l’œil avisé de son collectionneur – participait de la logique attractive de l’événementiel. Ici, le contraste de ces 400 m2 pérennes avec le reste du parcours de l’Hôtel de la Marine unifié autour de l’histoire royale du XVIIIe siècle français restitué dans une visite immersive façon period-room, est colossal. Sans renier le caractère muséal de l’ensemble présenté, la pertinence dans le choix du lieu interroge – abstraction faite des considérations économiques. Car c’est bien là le nerf de la guerre. En présentant un chèque de 20 millions d’euros – versés au profit de l’ensemble du réseau du Centre des Monuments nationaux et non à la seule réhabilitation de l’édifice parisien –, la collection Al-Thani avait un argument de poids. Si la totalité des recettes de billetterie est acquise au CMN, que les frais de muséographie sont à la charge de la Fondation comme le recrutement

A follow up on Salon Art + Design 2021 Edition A while back we had a preview of this year’s tenth edition of the Salon Art + Design fair, which took place at Park Avenue Armory and closed yesterday on November 15th.

Opening night for the fair found just under 2,000 visitors flowing into the exhibition space throughout the evening to preview a selection of the world’s finest design – vintage, modern and contemporary – enhanced by a selection of blue-chip 20th century art. This year, Salon Art + Design featured 47 leading art and design galleries from 11 different countries, with a goal of considering both fine and decorative art in the context of contemporary life. The belief is that today, more than ever, designers and collectors prefer to create environments rather than simply collect individual objects. You’ll see that concept in play with some of the installation views below.

This first photograph shows the booth of Gabriel & Guillaume, which is a collectible design gallery co-founded by Nancy Gabriel and Guillaume Excoffier. They’ve created an environment here which includes furniture, ceramics, lighting, and fine art; one item of note is the painting on the back wall: it’s “59 Cents (2 For a Dollar),” 1983, by Jean-Michel Basquiat. The art in this booth was curated by Valerie Cueto Art Advisory.

Another environment installation can be seen below, at the booth of Patrick Parrish Gallery. Some items of note in this installation: “Tree,” by Julian Watts, can be seen to the left of Mr. Parris, and the colorful chairs to the left of that are quite interesting – they’re made of hand-dyed, needlefelted wool by New York–based artist and designer Liam Lee – see more on him here.

Other newcomers, including Ornamentum, Dobrinka Salzman Gallery and Converso, all confirmed significant sales, while the returning exhibitor Maison Gerard reported a particularly successful evening.

Some of What Wendy Loved the Most at This Year’s Design Week

By Wendy Goodman

https://www.curbed.com/2021/11/what-wendy-goodman-loved-the-most-at-designweek.html

Although the Salon Art + Design, ICFF, and Wanted events finished up yesterday, this year’s design week continues on, with the NYCxDesign festival taking place around the city through November 18 and so much still to see in galleries and talks around town.

I was asked by NYCxDesign to curate a design itinerary in an area of the city, and I chose Brooklyn. My tour suggests visiting the street fair in Bed-Stuy presented with Together We Thrive, which partnered with Hester Street to celebrate Black business owners and designers, as well as a visit to Three Kings Tattoo Parlor, where artist Nicole Wilson’s show, “Otzi” (named after the oldest mummy, found with 61 tattoos on its body), shows the art of the body through Nov 20 (I contemplated getting a teeny tattoo).

What’s left on my list: going over to Industry City, where the Collision Project, a public platform that brings art to outdoor spaces, aims to nurture art and design collaborations. And there’s still so much more to see! After hotfooting it around the fairs and galleries to take in as much as my sneakers would bear, here are some of the things that caught my eye.

Cristina Grajales Gallery is celebrating 20 years with a new gallery space at 50 Vestry Street.

The current show will be up through January 2022. The hanging wall art on the right, The Other Side, is by Steven and William Ladd and was made with inmates at Rikers Island. The bamboo sofa, So Swishy in Her Satin and Tat, is by Doug and Mike Starn, and the hanging light, Black and Blue, is by Paula Hayes.

Co-curated by Ashlee Harrison, Anna Carnick, and Wava Carpenter, the show features projects by seven young artists working in America today. Tiarra Bell, a RISD graduate, was born and raised in Philadelphia. Her luminous, portal-like pieces crafted out of ebonized wood and gold leaf are ethereal and powerful.

Anony, based in Toronto, Canada, presented its flexible lighting collection that included the sublime Wisp. Suspension. The fixture inverts the idea of the suspended chandelier as the shade catches light from below instead of projecting it. A single cable runs from the light to the ceiling, and by touching the cord, you can activate, dim, or brighten the light. The shade can be adjusted to any height.

Rhyme Studio presented a limited-edition collection of wool rugs and tapestries designed in New York and made by hand in the company’s studio in rural Ireland. The new collections include the Trinity series, celebrating the “rug as sculpture and the purity of rectangular forms,” and the Modernity series, a tribute to Irish designer Eileen Gray and Russian avant-garde artist Kazimir Malevich.

10 Highlights from Salon Art + Design

By Osman Can Yerebakan

Visiting a fair should unfold similar to turning the pages of a magazine, says Salon Art + Design executive director Jill Bokor. Coming from a nearly 25-year experience in publishing, Bokor pays attention to the instances of discovery across the fair booths, just like flipping through a glossy read. “Salon celebrates the continuum of design through centuries, so we create jumping points between objects from B.C. to the contemporary,” she tells Interior Design.

The fair’s upcoming 10th edition at the Park Avenue Armory celebrates many firsts: for one, the booths exhibit objects from broad geographies, such as Japan and the African continent; on the https://interiordesign.net/designwire/10-highlights-from-salon-art-design/

material side, jewelry, minerals, glass, and wallpaper make their Salon debut. There will even be a runway show by the New York-based fashion line Spoliā on November 13. Bokor considers the noticeable abundance of firsts in this iteration a positive aspect of the pandemic-related restrictions. “Most of our European galleries could not attend, so suddenly we had room available for a wider range of exhibitors from the US,” she explains. “This a moment for contemporary American design to shine and demonstrate its diversity.”

Another consequence of the pandemic is reflected in aesthetic tendencies. In comparison to former iterations, Bokor notes that the objects emphasize utilitarianism over edge given the sudden escalation in time spent at home. “We all realized we needed to change up our interiors, but we knew we would be using everything for a while.” Thus, she says the search for function has overshadowed the avant-garde or the trendy. “Collectors look for objects they can easily live with and use,” she adds and notes the number of practical pieces among even contemporary galleries.

Regardless, Bokor underlines that design has not gone anywhere and the fair’s decennial celebrates it in all aspects.

A total of 46 exhibitors and nine installations occupy the Armory’s gilded Drill Hall, as well as many ornate nooks and rooms for special displays—the experience of visiting the decorated building itself is once again a voyage to the former century. Here are our 10 highlights from the fair which runs from November 11-15.

Culture Object

Vessels by Maxwell Mustardo.

Culture Object, helmed by Damon Crain, is among young galleries that find the needed spotlight in this year’s edition. For the gallery’s Salon debut, Crain brings a range of objects to celebrate experimental design. Note French designer Bertrand Charlot’s colorful painted vinyl toy boxes, which blend unabashed whimsy with detailed craftsmanship. Striking colors also spill onto https://interiordesign.net/designwire/10-highlights-from-salon-art-design/

Maxwell Mustardo’s three bulbous vessels that seem to be excavated from a historical future. Their glazed stoneware surfaces convey this chronologically vague effect while the vases’ splashy neon hues render them contemporary and humorous.

Onishi Gallery

Work by Osumi Yukie.

Another first-time exhibitor is New York’s own Japanese art-focused Onishi Gallery, which celebrates the country’s metal mastery. In a display titled, The Eternal Beauty of Metal, Onishi brings together works in gold, silver, platinum, copper, lead, and Japanese alloys by Osumi Yukie, Sako Ryuhei, Iede Takahiro, and Tamagawa Norio. The display’s title stems from a quote by https://interiordesign.net/designwire/10-highlights-from-salon-art-design/

Yukie, whose hammered silver plate textile imprinted with lead and gold vividly reflects Japanese metal artistry. For those intrigued by the works’ poetic elaborateness, the show continues at The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s year-long exhibition Japan: A History of Style where works by the same artists are included along with fourteen other masters.

Hostler Burrows

Martin Bodilsen Kaldahl’s Spatial Drawing series.

Another local gallery that builds a parallel between its booth and elsewhere is Hostler Burrows.

The Los Angeles and New York-based Scandinavian art- and design-focused gallery’s East Village location currently hosts the group exhibition, Matter At Hand: Ten Artists in Denmark, which features new works by 10 Danish artists and designers. In parallel, their booth is a nod to Danish creativity, with biomorphic hand-built glazed stoneware sculptures by Martin Bodilsen Kaldahl from his Spatial Drawings series and Steep Ipsen’s popping ruby-hued glazed earthenware sculpture, Eclipse 3. If you’re fascinated by Bodilsen Kaldahl’s eye-catching serpent pieces, travel downtown for their wall-hanging versions.

R& Company

New York’s decades-old design gallery R& Company has been a fair fixture; however, they respond to this year’s energy with their own firsts. After just announcing representation of the design world’s l’enfant terrible, Job Smeet, the gallery unveils a work from the Belgian designer’s newest Weeping Lanterns series, which are large scale bent bronze lamps in his signature cartoonish forms. The gently hunched pink lantern is joined by two elegantly amorphous crumpled and pearl-studded glass vessels by Jeff Zimmerman—who opposite to Smeet has been with R& since its opening—and Sebastian ErraZuriz’s era-defying marble console which salutes the antiquity with its carvings of Greco-Roman figures.

Tambaran https://interiordesign.net/designwire/10-highlights-from-salon-art-design/

A Dan mask from the early 20th century.

Despite being a neighbor of the Armory building, the Upper East Side gallery Tambaran is another newcomer. Fittingly, the gallery’s booth span its program’s breadth, featuring art and objects from Africa, Oceania, and the American Northwest. A Dan mask from the early 20th century Ivory Coast is a standout. Wood-carved and decorated with fiber, the 19-inch-tall mask reflects the tradition of wearing sacred Dan masks to ward off fires during drought. Another find at Tambaran’s display is another object from the early 20th century Ivory Coast—a standing 22-inch wooden spoon completed with the bottom half of a human form.

Les Ateliers Courbet

https://interiordesign.net/designwire/10-highlights-from-salon-art-design/

Axis bench by Pieter Maes.

Salon signals not one, but two firsts for Les Ateliers Courbet. Besides joining the fair for the first time, the New York-based gallery premiers its Editions Courbet program, which pairs contemporary designers with master craftspeople for capsule collections. Although previously yielding porcelain Thierry Dreyfus lamps, for which he worked with master ceramicists in Nymphenburg, or Aldo Bekker’s silver vessels as a fruit of his collaboration with silversmiths in Vienna’s Wiener Silber Manufactur, the Belgian designer Pieter Maes’s furniture marks the series’ first full collection. For the suede upholstered solid ash wood or stone pieces, Maes worked with not one but four European artisans: Belgian stone artisans of Il Granito, wood manufacturers of 3DW in Northern Italy, Dutch woodcrafter Rutger Graas, and French upholsterer Jouffre.

Silvia Furmanovich https://interiordesign.net/designwire/10-highlights-from-salon-art-design/

Table by Silvia Furmanovich.

A unique aspect of setting up shop at the Park Avenue Armory is discovering new potentials for its ornate rooms and orchestrate experimental settings that may otherwise not be possible at Drill Hall’s main booths. Brazilian jewelry designer Silvia Furmanovich’s take-over at the library is a brisk example of a gem of a transformation. Following her recent forays into wood marquetry handbags and jewel boxes, Furmanovich here introduces home objects inspired by her decadeslong jewelry practice. A similar artisanal approach to materials is traceable in tables, bowls, vases, and mirrors, all exhibited in an Amazon forest-like environment. Nods to nature echoes in design, too. A marquetry side table’s light green surface is inspired by lilies while its brass leg replicates a tree stem with branches providing support.

Trove https://interiordesign.net/designwire/10-highlights-from-salon-art-design/

Wallcovering installation by Jee Levin and Randall Buck.

https://interiordesign.net/designwire/10-highlights-from-salon-art-design/

Under the Armory’s one of two red carpet-covered colossal stairs, look for Trove’s wallcovering installation. Among the fair’s many firsts, wallpaper is a perfect way to utilize the nook at the entrance to the main event, and Jee Levin and Randall Buck’s fifteen years old custom print wallpaper brand delivers a statement with images of idealized male beauty at a 12-foot-high and 6-foot-wide scale. Taking cues from collage, art history, and nature, the duo’s designs burst with color and determined painterly figures, whether they are sharp geometric abstractions or loose floral forms.

Nathan Litera

Furniture collection by Nathan Litera.

The nook under the right staircase is reserved for Parisian architect and designer Nathan Litera.

The presentation marks Litera’s return to New York where he started his career as an architect at Kohn Pedersen Fox, before moving back to Paris for Atelier Jean Nouvel. Here, Litera debuts the furniture collection, Altana, named after the characteristic wooden structures commonly installed above the rooftops in Venice. Fittingly, the display is a love song for Italy’s gothic architecture which carries traits from the Byzantine aesthetic. Litera captures the mood with gentle floral curves—common in church windows and interiors—here on wood, marble and alabaster. The demure tones of natural materials dominate the collection that includes armchairs, side tables, lamps, and coffee table.

Unica https://interiordesign.net/designwire/10-highlights-from-salon-art-design/

Table from Unica’s Fioriture line.

At North Hall awaits Italian furniture makers Unica’s installation of a table from their Fioriture line. The term immersive may sound at odds with description of the Rosa Rosae Rosae table, but the smoked extra clear laminated glass surface dotted with an array of gold-finished stainless-steel flowers conveys such impact. The table sits on numerous steel legs—stems in this case—which blossom into these floral accents live inside the quarter inch thick glass. The surface’s silhouette is echoed in the stainless-steel base, also gold-finished, which yields reflection similar to that seen on the surface of a placid water.

The Salon Art + Design November 9-13, 2017

By Staff Writer Every November The Salon Art + Design welcomes the world’s finest international galleries exhibiting historical, modern and contemporary furniture, groundbreaking design and late 19th through 21st century art. Visitors will find designs by the great 20th century masters, as well as creative works by today’s most innovative young artists. Look for Art Deco, Mid Century Modern from America, France, Italy, and Scandinavia paired with the work today’s emerging designers.

The Salon’s inclusivity and willingness to consider both fine and decorative art in the context of contemporary life is predicated on the intent of designers and collectors to create environments rather than simply amass objects.

https://artpil.com/news/the-salon-art-design/

https://artpil.com/news/the-salon-art-design/

The Salon is the only international fair of this caliber to combine styles, genres, and periods cutting a universal and timeless swath. Other fairs allow art, but no design or conversely design without art. The willingness to consider all material—historic to contemporary—is based on the belief that today’s designers and collectors insist on a vibrant mix—as long as the quality is impeccable.

56 galleries from eleven countries exhibit a dazzling array of material. Starting with antiquities, the historic root of design, skipping centuries into early modernist Nouveau, Deco, and International mid-century furniture from Britain, France, Germany, Italy and Scandinavia.

https://artpil.com/news/the-salon-art-design/

https://artpil.com/news/the-salon-art-design/

Provocatively juxtaposed by 20th century and contemporary lighting, glass, and ceramics are works of the late 20th century by the spectacular creations of today’s most masterful young designers. Woven in throughout are blue chip European, American, and Chinese works of art. The Salon is a vetted fair.

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, the Armory offers an amazing space to view cutting edge art + design.

Design Conversations and Tours will be held throughout the dates as well as Happenings which include two exhibitions: The Extraordinary Jewelry of Giampiero Bodino, and, for the occasion of his American debut, the Maison Giampiero Bodino will introduce new one-of-a-kind pieces of high jewelry and a few classics, all created by the designer with his surprising, unique and colorful style.

Highlights you need to know from New York’s 2021 Salon Art + Design

By Elana Castle After a two year hiatus, Salon Art + Design heralded the return of the design fair this past week in New York. Elana Castle explores the themes that emerged, reinforcing the show’s undeniable appeal and global relevance.

Salon Art + Design returned for its 10th anniversary at the Park Avenue Armory in New York City this week with renewed vigor. Until three months ago, with international travel restrictions firmly in place, there was considerable doubt as to whether European dealers would be able to travel to New York. Fortunately, last-minute border openings – and exceptional leadership from the salon’s executive director Jill Bokor – meant that the show could, quite literally, go on.

Given the salon’s forced hiatus last year and a strong desire for connection and in-situ acquisition opportunities among the design fraternity, a group of 11 European and 36 American dealers presented a sophisticated mix of vintage and contemporary furniture alongside fine and decorative art. The salon is distinguished for its interest in creating interior environments that don’t necessarily favor one genre or style of design or another; and as a result, the salon is considered the only international fair of this caliber to present art and design from antiquity through to the current day.

The collective repertoire was as immersive as ever, featuring rare pieces like a bronze dragon and phoenix tray from the 18th-century Japanese Edo period, presented by sartorial gallerist Michael Goedhuis, to latest releases from established trendsetters like Hostler Burrows and Friedman Benda.

“We experienced tremendous enthusiasm and sales during the Salon Fair,” commented Paul Donzella from Gallery Donzella. “People have been very focused on their homes, and we have benefited greatly as a result.

We are most grateful for that.”

Guillaume Excoffier from collectible design gallery Gabriel et Guillaume (pictured at top) concurred: “The market is extremely strong right now. We feel a lot of confidence and excitement among collectors, after more than a year of continuous lockdowns. Collectors are definitely looking for exceptional pieces both in design and art, and get them fast. We sold half of the booth in the first two days.”

While the exhibitors displayed their characteristic individuality, a number of themes and trends emerged and took on new meaning at this year’s fair. Here are the key ones you need to know: Increased demand for design classics This year saw a substantial representation of 19th and 20th century furniture and objects from design greats like Charlotte Perriand, Paul Evans and Pierre Jeanneret. Gallery Dobrinka Salzman presented a chronological iteration of Jean Prouve’s Standard Chairs, and stated: “With each variant he has created, he improved the design and functionality.”

It was accented on the opposite end of their booth with a rare, electric blue Finn Juhl sofa and a live-edge George Nakashima Minguren dining table. Magen H Gallery presented a number of extraordinary French modern pieces with post-war designs, including a screen by François and Sido Thevenin and a Rene Prou daybed. Karl Kemp Antiques unveiled a rare pair of Costello chairs by the design duo Carlo Hauner and Martin Eisler and Moderne Gallery, known for their focus on works from the American Craft Movement, presented a captivating and extremely wellreceived assemblage of vintage furniture highlighted by contemporary classics.

“Pieces Jean Royère armchairs were a focal point for us this year, with auction prices of Jean Royère soaring in the past few years and great pieces are getting more rare than before,” added Guillaume Excoffier in relation to Gabriel et Guillame’s presentation at the salon. https://magazine.thebrunoeffect.com/highlights-you-need-to-know-from-new-yorks-2021-salon-artdesign/

Indulgence The fair exposed the increased embrace of luxurious materials. Todd Merrill Studio presented remarkable carved works by Yunhwan Kim, including a cabinet with bi-fold doors that reveal a bronze-colored mirror rear panel and two gold-plated shelves. Dominick Leuci’s latest work hovered above the booth – a suspended LED light sculpture composed of of air-blown, stainless steel plumes in dramatic jewel tones. Heightening the drama at the lower level was Vikram Goyal’s El Dorado contoured brass console, crowned with ceramic and glass objects by Gregoire Scalable and Maarten Vrolijk.

Whimsy and wonder From unrefined ceramic works to cartoonish objets d’art, the playfulness and whimsy seems to be stronger than years past, begging the question as to whether this is a response to the weightiness of the global pandemic. Patrick Parrish Gallery presented new wool creations by New-York based artist Liam Lee. The artist explores the inherent flexibility of wool, presenting complex forms which are also bright, bulbous and exuberant.

Maison Gerard surprised salon visitors with a selection of sustainable furniture from Stacklab Design, the Toronto-based practice founded by Jeff Forrest, which is guided by a design philosophy of “turning waste into wonders”.

In the Stackable collection, a team of six distinguished designers transform leftover materials salvaged from the local manufacturing industry into stackable pieces of furniture in multitudes of colorways. R and Company, renowned for championing extraordinary collectible design, upped the ante with a large-scale bronze sculpture by Studio Job. The Weeping Lantern, described as “whimsical yet despondent,” was in fine company among other extraordinary (and playful) works

by Serban Ionescu, Rogan Gregory, Ummmsmile’s Katie Stout and Jeff Zimmerman.

Friedman Benda’s booth also showcased whimsy with pieces from John Souter, Chris Schanck (Stuffed Shell Chair), Faye Toogood (Maquette 082), Barbora Žilinskaitė (Storyteller) and the absolutely striking Courtier mirror by Misha Kahn (above).

https://magazine.thebrunoeffect.com/highlights-you-need-to-know-from-new-yorks-2021-salon-artdesign/

Reinventing process This year’s show included work that pushed the boundaries of material possibility, presenting techniques and philosophies that will no doubt extend an influence on the broader design community.

Hostler Burrows showcased objects by Bjørn Friborg (top), a glass artist who “defies historical methods of making, and reinvents process with a dramatically physical approach that pushes the limits of material and technique, and is as much a performance as it is a means to an end.”

Gallerist Liz O’Brien’s booth featured a bronze table lamp, with Japanese paper shade from Studio Palatin. The artist Barbara Palatin-Doyle explains: “It is wireless and rechargeable. I tried to combine traditional craftsmanship, sculpture and new technology.”

https://magazine.thebrunoeffect.com/highlights-you-need-to-know-from-new-yorks-2021-salon-artdesign/

The Future Perfect unveiled works by a trio of pioneering designers. Sculptor Ian Collings unveiled his largest body of work to date, which investigates the designer’s exploration of stone and wood. The works were joined by avant-garde Brooklyn-based design studio Chen Chen & Kai Williams. “The duo’s wildly popular geo series assembles contrasting materials in a cohesive, fluid environment,” explains the gallery. “Crafted from silver nitrate solution on clear glass, incorporating a diversity of stones, these mirrors visualize the fragility of a chemical transition with technical mastery and beauty.”

Dynamic and innovative illuminated sculptures by Karl Zahn, which incorporate a coating of microscopic electrical lights within a minimalist construction, rounded out their presentation.

“Karl Zahn’s chandelier left many visitors asking how an illuminated work like this is even possible,” said Future Perfect co-founder Laura Young; “and while I’m still piecing together the mechanics myself, there’s no question that it is truly magical and beyond stunning.”

6 of Our Favorites from NYC Design Week

By Chris Force and Lark Breen

NYCxDESIGN returned this week from Nov. 11 to Nov. 18. The week of design, which usually happens in May, includes two main fairs: the International Contemporary Furniture Fair (ICFF) and WantedDesign Manhattan. The two fairs took place in the Javits Center, in conjunction for the first time since the festival’s inception. Due to its temporary shift to November, the festival also coincided with Salon Art + Design.

Together, the three annual New York City fairs celebrated New York City’s own creative engines with 61,496 designers, 1,029 museums and galleries, and 7,586 design firms participating, according to NYCxDESIGN. https://sixtysixmag.com/nycxdesign-2021/

This year’s design week in New York had more highlights than we could possibly point out—but here are a few of our favorites.

Nuée lamp by Marc Sadler from Foscarini The cloud-like fluffiness created by Nuée’s material—”a three-dimensional technical weave produced with a technology Foscarini has applied for the first time in the lighting sector”—makes every one of these poetic orbs of light changeable and unique.

Marc Sadler, known for experimenting with materials in his creations like the “Bap” motorcycle protector for Dainese, debuted the lamp at the Foscarini Spazio Soho showroom.

Chen Chen & Kai Williams, Ian Collings and Karl Zahn The Future Perfect designed a very special showcase for Salon Art + Design 2021 featuring works from Chen Chen & Kai Williams, Ian Collings, and Karl Zahn. The display, reminiscent of the Earth, sky, and everything in between, highlighted the earthy tones of the works such that they complemented each other.

“Under the canopy of the Park Avenue Armory’s magnificent and historical architecture, we have endeavored to make a world within a world,” The Future Perfect said in a release.

Works shown include mirrors and reflective tables from Chen and Kai’s Transition series, Ian Collings’ freestanding and wall-mounted stone sculptures, and illuminated sculptures from Karl Zahn that incorporate LED lights to illuminate and expand upon the artistry.

Michael Anastassiades: Upbeat The Manhattan skyline inspired Michael Anastassiades’ first solo show in the United States, presented by Friedman Benda. The featured works include skyscraper-like bamboo and light towers.

“Upbeat” is a shift from Michael’s usual industrial and material-focused work, as each piece was produced entirely within the studio—without the aid of industrial fabrication methods. As a result, bamboo becomes a staple of the works, and traditional craftsmanship comes into play.

“The project has been an exercise of negotiation with the variability of nature. To understand the material and establish certain constants on which I could build a rhythm. To embrace its peculiarities and accept its unpredictability,” Anastassiades said in a release.

irreverent display of color, shape, and varying degrees of functionality make JONALDDUDD a sight to see.

The 2021 JONALDDUDD display at Canal St Market included a few items that have crossed our radar—wooj design’s Wavy Lamp being one of them—and a lot of new and interesting pieces.

EMBLEM NYC Showroom Emblem Paris is a celebration of France’s design rather than New York’s—but its first American showroom, unveiled this week, became a toast to both.

Emblem’s boutique Soho space was designed by Anne Pericchi Draeger with the aim to be quintessentially French: “inspired by a chic jardin in a Parisian hȏtel particulier.”

As a collective of French heritage brands, Emblem’s showroom spotlights the craftsmanship of its four ateliers: Maison Taillardat, manufacturer of high-end traditional furniture; Maison CramanLagarde, a marquetry specialist and master cabinetmaker; Manufacture des Emaux de Longwy, the oldest ceramic factory in France; and Vernaz & Filles, specialist in custom gold leaf work and historic restoration. https://sixtysixmag.com/nycxdesign-2021/

If the space feels straight out of Sofia Coppola’s Marie Antoinette, well, that’s because it kind of is—Maison Taillardat provided the traditional furniture for the film. Splashes of color and vibrant patterns complement the more traditional designs to add up to a sensory, intimate space.

A Decade In, Salon Art + Design Still Defines High Style

By Greg Smith

The Park Avenue Armory was back in full swing November 11-15 with the Salon Art + Design.

NEW YORK CITY- It was a homecoming of sorts – perhaps more of a reconvening after a long, gritty campaign – when the Salon Art + Design fair returned to the Park Avenue Armory November 11-15 for its tenth anniversary. All were not present, but there was a pronounced sense of relief among those who entered through the armory’s towering, heavy doors; an energy that crept through the air and beamed outward from the sellers, the show’s attendees and the beautiful things.

It’s the second major fair to happen in the armory in two years, following on the heels of The Art Show put on by the Art Dealers Association of America the week prior. These November shows came at the dawn of the post-Covid era when travel restrictions eased and international dealers https://www.antiquesandthearts.com/a-decade-in-salon-art-design-still-defines-high-style/

could begin shipping their crates with confidence that they could meet them on the other side of the ocean.

The show’s executive director, Jill Bokor, said that had the restrictions been eased just three days later, she would have lost an additional 11 dealers – it was that close to being a 35-dealer show.

But both she and Sandy Smith, the president and chief executive officer, were steadfast in their commitment to producing this 2021 edition regardless of the booth count and it amounted to 48 dealers and nine partners, down only seven dealers from 2019 and all of them European.

“We had no idea what to expect at all,” Bokor told us. “Our expectations were that the gate might be half of 2019, but everything was better than anyone had anticipated.” Nine thousand people attended the show, down only ten percent from the last edition.

It presented an opportunity for Bokor to go out of the show’s normal range and invite new galleries.

More antiquities entered, Tribal art, Japanese craft and a few galleries with new artists on their rosters made debuts, but the high style of Salon Art + Design never wanes as it skips with unapologetic daring through contemporary, vintage and historic periods of production.

Paul Donzella of Donzella Galleries said the energy at the show was buzzing. His booth featured titans of design, including Gio Ponti, Paavo Tynell, Max Ingrand and Ico & Luisa Parisi. The large work on the back right wall is by contemporary artist Chris Bogia, “Mandala-Sun.”

“It wasn’t only a question of doing well sales-wise,” said Paul Donzella of Donzella Gallery, “It was just so great to be back in the armory and doing a fair. You could feel that all during set-up, everyone was very excited, and once the doors opened it was the same with the audience. The energy was really good and sales were really strong. I think most of my colleagues did well.”

Among his sales, Donzella counted a rare pair of Gio Ponti “Triennale” armchairs, circa 1954.

“They’re an incredible design,” he said, “A very paired down version of a wing chair that Ponti https://www.antiquesandthearts.com/a-decade-in-salon-art-design-still-defines-high-style/

had been experimenting with for a number of years in the 50s. This model, you might see one pair come to market every three years. These had original labels, which I’ve almost never seen, and I sold them to a collector in Italy.”

Show newcomer Culture Object, whose gallery is on West 38th Street, fashioned a storeroom of contemporary vessels as he beckoned attendees to step behind the veil into a colorful wonderland.

Gallerist Damon Crain said the runaway favorites in his booth were the plastic-coated neon “Anthropophorae” ceramic works of Maxwell Mustardo, a New Jersey artist. Crane sold every work in his booth from Mustardo and more back at his gallery.

American design was on show with Lobel Modern, which sold out the majority of its booth. Owner Evan Lobel said the field in quality American design is thinning, and whereas other galleries may fill the hole with contemporary art and design, he has found it gratifying to dig in and seek out the very best examples from his stable of Twentieth Century American icons, which includes Paul Evans, Tommi Parzinger, Philip and Kelvin Laverne and Karl Springer.

“I’ve searched far and wide to find the best pieces by the designers I specialize in. In a market where those pieces are getting rarer and rarer, it just happened to pay off at the show,” Lobel said.

Onishi Gallery displayed the extremely fine work of Japanese metalsmiths, some of them designated Living National Treasures in that country.

Lobel’s sales included a welded sculpture top coffee table by Paul Evans that he said was one of the finest examples of that form by the New Hope artist that he had ever seen. Spanning much of the booth’s back wall was a long credenza by French designer Raphaël that found a new home.

The cabinet featured accordion doors in a volcanic Beka lacquer in a bronze finish.

Japanese metalwork was on the floor for the first time from Onishi Gallery, which represents a number of remarkable metalsmiths that have earned the prestigious title of Living National https://www.antiquesandthearts.com/a-decade-in-salon-art-design-still-defines-high-style/

Treasures in that country. A small group of vessels by Sako Ryuhei utilized the Seventeenth Century Mokumegane technique, a process of laminating thin alloy sheets of various metals that, when worked, produces a topographical texture.

Throckmorton Fine Art had one of the more varied booths in the show as it exhibited three major Latin American photographers alongside Pre-Columbian artworks, Chinese jade and antiquities.

An onyx Teotihuacan mask with obsidian eyes from the Fourth Century stood before a group of lithographs by Andy Warhol from his “Shoes” series. Behind were silver gelatin prints by Flor Garduño and Graciela Iturbide, who Spencer Throckmorton called the most powerful women in Mexican photography.

American craft from Arthur Espenet Carpenter and Wharton Esherick was found with Chicago gallery Converso. The gallery offered Esherick’s “Seiver Residence Sofa,” one of only three freestanding sofas the craftsman ever produced. Philadelphia patrons Lawrence and Alice Seiver became quick clients for Esherick in the mid-1950s. Alice Seiver once wrote, “I would tell Wharton what I needed. But I never told him what it should look like, and I never asked when I would get it.” Esherick’s unrestricted designs for the Seivers resulted in some of the most pure commissions he ever created.

In the same spirit were works from other American furniture artists in the booth of Philadelphia’s Moderne Gallery. Owner Bob Aibel said he had strong sales among his designs from George Nakashima. A “Drop” side table in carved maple by Miriam Carpenter featured alongside a fine “Ellipse II” rolltop desk by Jere Osgood, the two representing different styles of the contemporary school. After graduating from RISD in 2006, Carpenter cut her teeth designing furniture for Mira Nakashima for seven years. She is currently the subject of “Miriam Carpenter: Shaping the Ethereal” at the James A Michener Art Museum through March 2022, her first solo museum exhibition, where a companion “Drop” table is on exhibit.

https://www.antiquesandthearts.com/a-decade-in-salon-art-design-still-defines-high-style/

Among the partners at the show was Silvia Furmanovich, who produced a jungle of vessels in one of the armory’s side rooms.

“There was a somewhat smaller audience,” Aibel said, “But it felt like the people who made the effort to come were mostly very serious. We had lots of serious conversations about things and we’re really happy.”

Aibel considers Carpenter to be a rising star. “I really believe she has the potential to be one of the greats,” he said. “She’s amazingly talented, her ability to design is only exceeded by her ability to make very complex pieces. She’s on her way.”

A lineup of Jean Prouvé’s famed “Standard” chairs tracked the French designer’s changes to that work through time at Gallery Dobrinka Salzman. Prouvé created the first “Standard” chair in 1934 and altered it in both construction and materials through the next 20 years. In the 1950s, Prouvé began experimenting with aluminum, creating the sculptural legs that would prove final. At other points, when metal was scarce during World War II, wood was used. Other considerations altered the design, including his want for the chair to ship flatpacked.

Among the bouquet of Tiffany Studios lamps with Macklowe Gallery was a Peony shade table lamp. Tiffany produced the design in a moment of horticultural frenzy when upper-class Americans, including his associate and friend, Harvard professor Joseph Rockman, would travel to remote areas in China and Japan to bring back peony cultivars that had never before left those places. On this shade was the Japanese Candy Stripe peony, which legend says Tiffany used the Aqua Regia process to produce as he dissolved a gold coin to create a shimmering ruby color.

“People thought the look of the fair had changed and in a very good way,” said Bokor. “It was the first time many people had visited New York City in a while. All the dealers said they missed the New York market, so they were ecstatic to be back.”

Bokor will spend the next year determining how she might fit her new dealers alongside her longstanding European galleries who were unable to commit this year but yearn to be back in 2022.

Meet The Boundary-Breaking Jewelry Artists Showing Alongside Ai Weiwei In Force Of Nature Exhibition

By Kate Matthews

Force of Nature exhibition opens to the public today at Elisabetta Cipriani Gallery in London, bringing together 17 contemporary artists who have each vaulted the barrier between art and jewelry. Curated by jewelry editor and author Melanie Grant, the exhibition includes work by jewelry masters like Wallace Chan, Jaqueline Rabun and James de Givenchy, alongside emerging names like Satta Maturi, Liv Luttrell and Melanie Eddy. After Brilliant & Black at Sotheby's this Fall, which focused on Black jewelry design, Grant's second selling exhibition smashes through the creative hierarchy of art and jewelry, fueled by the theme of Naturalism.

"We are seeing a shift in the perception of jewelry as an art-form, which began when museums started taking it more seriously," says Grant, who authored the 2020 book Coveted: Art and innovation in High Jewelry. She references the 2013 JAR retrospective at the MET as a turning point, and with art and design shows like PAD and most recently Salon A+D showcasing artistic jewelry, the very definition of art and who makes it is expanding. Grant herself has designed a cuff for the show, a spiky, bronze concentration of creative energy that feels like a metaphor for the whole concept.

"We've seen so much of society evolve in the last few years and the art space is no exception," she continues. "We're ready for more inclusion." "I think it's about time that jewelry historians reflect on the question," says James de Givenchy of Taffin, "but the show will be a success even if visitors come out with more questions than answers". In curating an exhibition that puts independent designer-makers on an equal creative footing with creative powerhouses like Taffin, Grant hopes to nudge the industry in the right direction.

That the work on show is art, seems a moot point (see Lydia Courteille’s gemstone Salamander brooch, top, and Sahara Skull cuff). Wallace Chan, the master jewelry artist known for his exquisite precious butterflies, agrees: "I have never felt art should be elitist. I grew up in poverty, but somehow a magical turn happened and art saved me. You don't have to take away an art piece to take away a story." Satta Maturi, whose elegant and empowering blend of Art Deco and African history is also on show, believes the jewelry industry should mirror society: "we live in a diverse world and should have as many voices, designs and stories as possible, told through jewelry design."

And there's no reason why that can't be achievable. London-based maker Melanie Eddy describes social media as a democratizer, but cautions that: "if we don't continue to advocate for platforms where a variety of voices can be heard, seen and championed, we will lose so much richness from this space." In a similar vein, Dutch jewelry artist Bibi van der Velden founded her auverture.com curated jewelry platform in 2016, along with the Auverture United initiative to support independent fine jewelry designers in growing their businesses.

In choosing to celebrate Naturalism, Grant also chose to elevate the role of Nature in jewelry design and production. "It is very difficult to make jewelry without involving the forces of nature," says de Givenchy. "It takes intense heat to melt metals, it requires pounding, pulling and filing. It is a brutal process that, by contrast, results in these delicate works of art." Elsewhere, Ute Decker, a pioneer of Fairtrade gold, used her sustainable jewelry to tell a story exalting Nature because "working as sustainably as we can is certainly one of the most urgent stories of today."

But for Wallace Chan, the link between Nature and art is intuitive. "If you listen, nature speaks to you. I understand the force of nature as love." And with memories of lockdown and just a few minutes a day spent outside still fresh, perhaps the real force of nature is right there.

Bibi van der Velden "I incorporate Nature through materials like scarab wings and mammoth tusk. My designs express climate change, animals and the life cycle, reflecting the work of the Dutch Masters who showed the natural process of living and dying.

My alligator earrings were specially made for the Force of Nature exhibition, I think they convey a fierce, modern glamour. Inspired by pre-pandemic travels to Africa, these prehistoric creatures feel ancient and almost mystical. They have survived natural disasters and threats from mankind, and with their strength, stealth and steely eyed determination, alligators embody the force of nature."

James de Givenchy "One of the first collections I made 25 years ago was called Les Galets ('The Pebbles'), I revisited this theme for the show with a necklace and the ear clips. I have always been attracted to the way nature fashioned rocks into these perfect organic shapes. By putting the beautifully faceted Tanzanite in the middle or by adding a gold accent, I intended to create a disruption. The brooches are made with carved Neolithic pebbles to create a contrast between the natural flower motifs and their composition."

Melanie Eddy "My color palettes, composition and form are all informed by experiences of places or reactions to gemstones that relate to memories. The beryl in this ring reminds me of both icy realms and cool ocean waters. Even though I am from Bermuda, winters in Canada, Kabul and the UK mean I am familiar with icy wintry landscapes. I spent over four years deciding how to mount this gemstone and Bermuda won out in the end. I set it in yellow gold to evoke sunlight and sand reflecting in shallow waters - this combination and the reflective qualities of the beryl immediately take me back home. My mother felt it too, it reminded her of the refreshingly cool ocean."

The wearer can then loop it in endless ways, making it different and unique for each person, each time they wear it. It engages with the active participation of the wearer, which makes it such an exciting piece to wear. For me, this is an allegory of human nature. We are all connected, yet we have many choices as to how we shape our lives. We are the artists of our lives."

I love superhero movies, if I were to play a role, Butterfly Man would suit me just fine. Mother Nature is the most talented creator. When I create a butterfly, I try not to imitate how it looks but to depict what it means."

Art and design veteran Jill Bokor on 10 cool things that caught her eye in the last decade

By Ankita Rathod

Jill Boker is the executive director of Salon: Art + Design, New York's most exciting and prestigious art and design event

https://elledecor.in/article/art-and-design-veteran-jill-bokor-on-10-cool-things-that-caught-her-eyein-the-last-decade

For Jill Bokor, the Guggenheim in 2017, was one of the most standout museum exhibitions of the decade.

For over thirty years, Jill Bokor has combined her love of art, design and philanthropy with her entrepreneurial skills. With her extensive experience in publishing that began at the NEW YORK Magazine, serving as publisher and editorial director of the internationally influential Art + Auction—Bokor has developed a discerning eye for all things good design. Currently, Bokor is the executive director of Salon: Art + Design, New York’s most exciting and prestigious art and design event.

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of Salon Design + Art that recently concluded on November 15 in New York, we asked the design veteran ten cool things she discovered in the last decade.

Ranging from an all ice hotel in Sweden and an architecture-inspired bag to watching the solar eclipse from eastern US—Jill Bokor’s picks are stunning to say the least!

1. The Ice Hotel, Jukkasjärvi, Sweden “It’s unbelievable to come to this magical place set in an endless white expanse. The hotel is completely made of carved ice right down to the beds and the dishes. As an extra bonus, we saw the Northern lights which doesn’t happen often in March—miraculous!”

The Ice Hotel, Jukkasjärvi, Sweden 2. The Cog Railway, Mt Washington, New Hampshire “If you like the idea of being carried up a mountain at an average grade of 25% (some sections approach nearly 38%)—this one’s for you! And if you do it in October, you’ll see magnificent foliage below and maybe a little snow at the top.

3. The Whitney Bag “A Renzo Piano creation, made at the time of the new Whitney’s opening, it’s a fantastic piece of architecture to wear on your arm.”

4. The Himkok Bar, Oslo, Norway “We wanted to go to a place that was a best kept secret and the hotel bartender told us about Himkok. We had to walk through a construction site to find it and when we got there, it was the plainest bar you’ve ever seen with drinks unlike any other, using local flavours unavailable to us here.”

The Himkok bar in Oslo, Norway 5. Seeing the solar eclipse in Russellville, KY “It was part of the Eastern US from which you had the best view of the eclipse. The moment it happened, the world went pitch black and all the animals went silent.”

6. Silvia Furmanovich Jewellery “This Brazilian designer creates unique jewels incorporating painted miniatures, marquetry and brilliant stones to create exceptional jewellery. Now she’s developed a beautiful line for the home which will actually debut at Salon.”

7. The Northern tip of Scotland “The most northern town in continental Scotland. Literally, the coolest— it was 47 degrees in the middle of June and this was the night of the Summer Solstice. It was pure grey!”

8. The Agnes Martin exhibition “At the Guggenheim in 2017, to me was the standout museum exhibition of the decade. It was comprehensive and brilliantly curated. I had always admired Agnes Martin, but had never had an opportunity to see such a complete exhibition of her work.”

9. My little Corgi, Spencer “By chance, I brought him home two weeks before lockdown so he was a quarantine puppy and the smartest, most energetic little companion for such a hard time in the world. When I walked him, everyone, no matter how tense or anxious they had been, smiled. He’s a very comical little guy!”

As Bokor says, her little Corgi, called Spencer, is the most smartest and energetic companion https://elledecor.in/article/art-and-design-veteran-jill-bokor-on-10-cool-things-that-caught-her-eyein-the-last-decade

10. The growth of Salon “From a relatively classic fair to what we have become today—one of the greatest destinations for collectible design of all genres, periods and types. We now welcome galleries from 13 countries who bring a great wealth of material. It’s been a real labor of love and we’re proud to be celebrating our 10th anniversary this year!”

Design’s Unruly, Organic, and Wild Year A dispatch from NYCxDesign.

By Diana Budds

Bec Brittan’s Aries Rising Capricorn, Barbora Žilinskaitė’s Storyteller cabinet, Ellen Pong’s Golden Teacher, and Ian Collings’s Stone Object 56 (background detail) were exhibited during New York’s 2021 design week.

https://www.curbed.com/2021/11/new-york-design-week-nycxdesign-2021-nature-trend.html

NYCxDesign this year was unusually timed, split between a handful of virtual events and selfdirected tours in May followed by in-person fairs and gallery shows in November, a way of hedging against the uncertain reality of the pandemic but also insisting that the show must go on.

Because of that, ICFF and Wanted Design were significantly smaller this year and coincided with the collector-focused Salon Art & Design, which normally takes place in November. For many people, it was the first time in two years that they’ve hosted exhibitions or presented work publicly.

“Whenever there are revolutions in technology, science, or in the political and cultural spheres, designers transform these revolutions into life,” says Paola Antonelli in At a Distance, a new book from The Slowdown and Apartamento that reflects on the past year and a half. For all of those reasons, I felt even more curious about this year’s Design Week presentations. What would emerge on the other side of all this?

Despite the smaller scale and quieter presence — the next NYCxDesign is scheduled just six months from now, and I expect that edition to be more “normal” — there was a palpable enthusiasm in the air as designers and gallerists were finally able to share their work in person.

Gone are all those cute and comforting jet-puffed silhouettes and audacious Memphis colors and patterns. I was excited to see that design has become more wild, inward, and intuitive. The work exhibited during design week didn’t seem as concerned with having a sweeping (and insular) dialogue within the discipline of design. Instead, much of it explored relationships between people and the environment and borrowed the shapes, textures, and materials of the natural world to do so.

https://www.curbed.com/2021/11/new-york-design-week-nycxdesign-2021-nature-trend.html

My first taste of this would come from Liam Lee’s sculptural felted furniture, which I wrote about ahead of their debut in Patrick Parrish’s Salon Art & Design exhibition. Lee, who is interested in how someone’s home mirrors their psyche, didn’t leave his house for weeks during lockdown. His home was like a seal against the outside world, and the furniture — which riffs on the shape of bacteria and seed pods — resembled things he didn’t think belonged in his home. I was drawn to the free-flowing intuitive shapes of his hand-felted chairs, which seemed to embody the feeling of uncertainty and loss of control many of us felt during the pandemic. The only option was to go with the flow.

A couple of feet away from Liam Lee’s chairs at Salon was Julian Watts’s Tree, a sculpture the Oregon-based woodworker made from twigs he found around his studio. Tree is composed of hand-carved and chiseled knobs, paddles, and tubes made from maple, walnut, oak, redwood, ash, pine, and fir that protrude from an eight-foot-tall bleached totem. (It sort of reminded me of Bruce Lee’s wooden dummy.) Some featured dimpled surfaces, others were polished smooth; they protruded from the central column like fungi on a log. During the pandemic, he began to read poetry from the 13th-century Buddhist Shiwu, which changed how he engaged with his five-acre plot of forested land where he foraged for wood. He thought about the shapes he saw in nature that repulsed him yet made him want to touch them and about the weirdness he found there. His Moon sculpture — of wood knobs erupting from an undulating surface — has that effect as well, of simultaneously repelling and attracting a closer look. It triggered trypophobia while also reminding me of an acorn woodpecker’s grotesque-looking granary tree.

There were also many direct references to mushrooms, mold, and fungi, a continuation of a trend that’s already been extremely popular in décor and has taken over social media the same way Memphis did a few years ago. Reaching peak mushroom seems like an apt metaphor for the past couple of years — they’re ephemeral, strangely beautiful, and emerge from decay. (And for a mental escape, well, just eat a few.) I enjoyed seeing how designers who have a more abstract sensibility went beyond the familiar toadstool. Faye Toogood’s latest addition to her Puffball series of lights for Matter Made, exhibited in the gallery’s new project space, actually looks like one of those puffballs that have been going viral on TikTok. The jewelry designer Silvia Furmanovich launched a new home-goods line with wooden platters that looked like turkey tail fungi, and some veered into the grotesque. Bungalow, a new art and design gallery, exhibited Ellen Pong’s Golden Teacher, a floor light (shown earlier this year in Pink Essay’s extremely excellent “Home Around You” exhibition) with a maitake-esque shade and a thorny stem. Even Jenna Lyons (yes, that Jenna Lyons) riffed on a shroom for a lamp in her first furniture collection, produced in collaboration with Roll & Hill. Glass artist Amber Cowan’s fantastical and surreal sculpture Visions of the Night Muse in Jade, at Heller Gallery’s Salon booth, featured what looked (to me) like dozens of little button mushrooms bursting through an overgrowth of flowers.

The works I relished the most captured the unruliness of the natural world: the irregular shapes and contours of something worn down or cracked by the elements. Simon Johns, a furniture designer based a few hours’ drive from Montreal, looked to the sandstone landscape around his studio for source material. The cracks and fissures in the sandstone influenced the jagged carvedwood doors of his Ledge dry bar, which earned him an ICFF award for best new designer. I was enchanted by Ian Collings’s ambitious series of stone sculptures at the Future Perfect’s Salon booth, which showed his mastery of the material and his development as a designer since he left the furniture brand Fort Standard, which he co-founded in 2018. His Stone Object 56, a slab of onyx left raw on one side and polished down to a rippling surface on the other, presented a dichotomy of the markings left by the natural world and his own hand. For Collings, the stone pieces represent his preoccupation with impermanence, transformation, and “images of time,” as he writes in his artist’s statement. BLK Basalt table — a chunky gray base with a smooth black top — had subtle contours that reminded me of a bird’s-eye view of Isamu Noguchi’s California Scenario sculpture garden. Ashwini Bhat abstracted the natural world in Sky Trail, a sculpture presented by Shoshana Wayne Gallery at Salon Art & Design. It’s from a series named Assembling California, a body of work inspired by the state’s landscape and geological field surveys by John McPhee. Bhat, who is trained in the Bharatanatyam style of dance, was able to capture the precariousness of California’s wilderness in this twisted and crumpled meandering clay object adorned with a wisp of lace lichen. Though it was made in 2019 and appeared earlier this year in R & Company’s Objects 2020 show, its appearance at Salon felt especially apt: The piece harnesses the frenetic energy I’ve felt during the past couple of years so strikingly.

Photo-Illustration: Curbed; Photos: Courtesy Jaeyeon Park, Fran Parente, Jonald Dudd, and Friedman Benda To achieve work that felt more naturalistic, designers often left surfaces a little rougher, revealing the marks of human hands. Barbora Žilinskaitė’s lumpy Storyteller cabinet was one such piece.

Sculpted from denim-blue wood-based resin, the anthropomorphic cabinet featured two folded hands as doors and a blobby silhouette for the shelves above it. The copper benches and chairs by Soren Ferguson at Matter’s sprawling new showroom above its Broome street gallery had rough edges and patinated surfaces that look like a serendipitous accident from the welding process. At Wanted, Jaeyeon Park, a recent Cranbrook graduate, exhibited Jimmy, a series of two mangled and twisted resin chairs painted in neon yellow and orange. They were inspired by “La Ballade de Jim,” an uptempo cover by the French synth-pop group Paradis of Alain Souchon’s 1985 song about a man who gets drunk and crashes his car after his girlfriend breaks up with him. One of the stranger and ultimately more fascinating works I saw was Max McInnis’s Ray chair at Jonald Dudd, a show that is always design week’s most conceptual exhibition. McInnis usually works with found objects that are Frankensteined together with an industrial binding material. With the Ray chair, McInnis used rough pea gravel to bind French-style chair legs to a folding chair adorned with Swarovski crystals, velvet upholstery, and a yellow chain — a completely unexpected mix.

Photo-Illustration: Curbed; Photos: Courtesy Jonald Dudd, David Mitchell This year, many artists and designers whose trademark is meticulous and precise craft also broke away into something more unrestrained. Another Human’s frenetic Doodle table at Jonald Dudd’s installation in Canal Street Market — a tangle of metal supporting a resin top — was a departure from designer Leah Ring’s Mattise cutout and Memphis-inspired pieces. At Colony’s first group show in two years, I got lost in Hiroko Takeda’s Social Fabric weaving. Her sculptural works are usually quite intricate and feature repetitive patterns, but for Social Fabric, she sporadically deviated from a geometric overshot pattern with improvisational weaves, resulting in a glitchy, blurry motif. The lighting designer Bec Brittan let go of the idea of perfection with Aries Rising Capricorn, a new lighting series inspired by a Keith Riley drawing of an overflowing urn and fiber optics. Brittain, whose work is typically planar, didn’t want to “design” the series and instead freeform twisted acrylic rods to come up with lights that look like 3-D hand drawings.

Atelier Zébulon Perron’s Palais des Glaces. Photo: Arseni Khamzin While there were so many brilliant and exhilarating works in this year’s strange edition of NYCxDesign, it was Palais des Glaces, a collaborative installation by Lambert & Fils and Atelier Zébulon Perron, that transported me most of all. The atmospheric installation at Lambert & Fils newish Tribeca showroom was composed of pillar candles hanging off steel structures that riffed on New York’s scaffolding and set atop tall monolithic candlesticks. Mirrors reflected the flickering light and the flow of people in the room. The Montreal-based lighting company opened its space last year but wasn’t able to host a housewarming until now. The candles had been burning for hours by the time I entered the dark showroom, and trails of melted wax careened down the side of the candlesticks, hardening into oozing shapes that morphed throughout the evening. The ephemerality of the installation, changing at each moment, felt hauntingly beautiful. The other side of it all is a thrilling place to be.

Jewelry To Invest In: The Sea Urchin Earrings By Lily Gabriella

By Kate Matthams

The Sea Urchin earrings, in white gold, diamonds, spinels, garnets and aquamarine, by Lily ... [+] LILY GABRIELLA

The Brazilian designer's recent Collector's Editions saw her channel her love of color into a series of striking one-of-a-kind designs. With the Sea Urchin earrings, the JAR mentee has put her technical expertise to work in recreating the spiky surface and gentle curves of the seabed creature.

Two mismatched four-carat spinels sit atop domes of white gold, encrusted in micro-set diamonds, as spokes of inverted garnets and aquamarines reach towards the edges of the artist's seascape fantasy. "I am inspired by my surroundings - from the architecture to fashion and art galleries, living in London you’re spoilt for choice,’’ she says, "but some of the pieces I created last summer were inspired by my travels abroad, the Manta Ray brooch and Sea Urchin earrings in particular.

I enjoy taking something from the natural world". She is not the only one, fellow Brazilian jewelry designer Silvia Furmanovich recently created an installation paying tribune to the Amazon rainforest, for Salon Art + Design.

With their sizable oval central stones, the earrings are ladies-who-lunch chic with a little of the Princess Diana about them, but it's the beautifully mismatched colors that place them firmly within the here and now. Known for her use of color, the designer was influenced by the way light filters through the ocean to the seabed and the alternating blues and purples, aquamarines and garnets https://www.forbes.com/sites/katematthams/2021/12/03/jewelry-to-invest-in-the-sea-urchinearrings-by-lily-gabriella/

bring them to life. From sorting through her mother's jewelry box, to her latest statement-making investment piece, Lily Gabriella lifts the lid on her work.

Lily Gabriella, jewelry designer. LILY GABRIELLA

How did you get into jewelry? What was your initial inspiration?

I am beyond grateful for having grown up in a home that celebrates design in all its forms. As a child, I was never told that I wasn’t allowed near a rare object, painting or jewel and I certainly didn’t know their value back then. I was always encouraged by my mother and grandmother, both avid jewelry collectors, to rummage through their jewels while they were dressing to go out. Just like any young girl, I was fascinated by the sparkle and colors of gemstones, but little did I know I was looking at beautiful jewels that spanned centuries of design, each with fantastic provenance and perfectly emblematic of the period they represent. My mother and grandmother were both born with a keen eye for quality, it’s in their blood. https://www.forbes.com/sites/katematthams/2021/12/03/jewelry-to-invest-in-the-sea-urchinearrings-by-lily-gabriella/

Tell me a little about your working process. Do your pieces start as sketches or are you led by the materials themselves?

I tend to think of chromatic combinations and shapes first - color is at the forefront of my designs, I then like to play with volume and light to emphasize the beauty of the stone. I have a background in fine art so I start by sketching ideas based around a chosen stone and finally, once a piece is made, I do a gouache painting of it. I find it a therapeutic way of closing the production process.

Are you drawn to any particular themes or materials in your work?

I am inspired by art and architecture and this is evident in my designs. I love to express my love of color, sculptural design and exceptional craftsmanship using distinctive materials and nonstandard gemstone shapes, cuts and sizes, which adds to the uniqueness of the pieces.

The Pink Swirl earrings, pink sapphires and ombré titanium, by Lily Gabriella.

How would you like to see the Sea Urchin earrings styled?

Jewellery, clothes and fashion in general is an integral aspect of how you express yourself and of course that is very personal. I want my jewelry to be an extension of the wearer's personality and an emotional investment first and foremost. What is important to me is how my jewelry makes someone feel. I hope the wearer puts on my jewelry and feels empowered, beautiful and happy.

Jewels are for enjoying, after all.

What is your own most treasured piece of jewelry?

I was given a beautiful ring to celebrate a milestone birthday. What was particular about this ring was that it spelled my name twice, in diamond cursive, as it wrapped around my finger. My grandmother, whom I was named after, had asked a dear jeweler friend of hers to create it for me.

She then wrote a lovely letter saying that just as diamonds last forever, her and I are bound forever – just as our names are entwined in an infinite loop. https://www.forbes.com/sites/katematthams/2021/12/03/jewelry-to-invest-in-the-sea-urchinearrings-by-lily-gabriella/

What new challenges do you have coming up At the moment I am focusing on one-of-a-kind and bespoke jewels. My team will always say making my jewelry is a challenge, but we learn so much as no piece is the same. I like to design without inhibition so as not to limit my creativity - I am sure my production team would like to reign me in occasionally but they are a talented and dedicated team who always enjoy finding a way to bring my designs to life, however technically complicated it may be. Working with titanium for the first time recently, certainly posed new challenges, but I think looking at our Pink & Blue Swirl Earrings (above), it was definitely worth it.

What Is ‘Art Jewelry’? Look at the Term Again.

Lalique and Picasso were among the early makers, and now lots of contemporary designers are creating their own versions.

By Victoria Gomelsky

Emily Waterfall, the head of Bonhams’s jewelry department in Los Angeles, knew she was dealing with something special in November 2020, when she found herself inside a private storage facility surrounded by thousands of pieces of jewelry owned by Byron and Jill Crawford, a local couple who had devoted 40 years to collecting.

“The first piece I opened was the Picasso Grand Faune,” Ms. Waterfall said.

Like his fellow artists Alexander Calder, Salvador Dalí and Man Ray, Pablo Picasso dabbled in jewelry. To make the Grand Faune pendant, Picasso worked with the goldsmith François Hugo, who immortalized the impish-looking face of the half human, half goat creature in 23-karat gold.

The men made 20 pieces, one of which (No. 7) belonged to the Crawfords.

Pablo Picasso’s Grande Faune pendant, in 23-karat gold, was a big seller in a recent Bonhams auction.Credit...via Bonhams

In mid-October, that pendant sold for $62,813 in “Wearable Art: Jewels From the Crawford Collection,” a noteworthy Bonhams sale that featured 314 lots of jewelry by some of the 20th century’s most important makers — including the modernists Art Smith and Margaret De Patta, the Hopi jeweler Charles Loloma and the American-born, Mexico-based silver jeweler William Spratling. Totaling $1.7 million, the sale was the first single-owner collection of artist jewelry ever presented at auction. Bonhams already is planning a second art jewelry sale for next fall.

“I was beyond flabbergasted by the response,” Ms. Waterfall said. “But we’re just at the beginning.”

Ms. Waterfall was referring to a growing segment of the jewelry market — sometimes called “art jewelry” — focused on one-of-a-kind pieces that often, but not always, employ non-precious materials to convey meaning. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/06/fashion/art-jewelry-sienna-patti-louisa-guinness.html

The category dates from at least the turn of the 20th century, when the Art Nouveau master René Lalique challenged traditional notions of preciousness by incorporating glass and horn into his creations. In recent years, a wave of interest among museum curators, collectors and gallerists, not to mention a growing secondary market, has cast a spotlight on this esoteric niche.

Sienna Patti, the founder of a namesake contemporary jewelry gallery in Lenox, Mass., explained the momentum behind art jewelry partly as a collective search for authenticity. “Younger generations want something that feels real,” she said. “Buying something mass produced feels less appealing.”

Lately, that interest has been stoked by arbiters of culture, such as the producers of “Craft in America,” a PBS series whose new episode on jewelry began streaming on Nov. 4, and institutions such as the Cincinnati Art Museum, where an exhibition titled “Simply Brilliant: Artist-Jewelers of the 1960s and 1970s” is on view through Feb. 6.

Artists Who Make Jewelry The easiest way for art lovers to understand the category may be through pieces like the Grand Faune, a classic example of how fine artists “use different media to express themselves,” said Louisa Guinness, whose gallery in London represents, as she described it, “painters and sculptors who made forays into jewelry,” including 20th-century artists such as Picasso, Calder and Max Ernst and contemporary makers such as Anish Kapoor, Antony Gormley and Ed Ruscha.

“Calder is the ‘get’ in this world,” Ms. Guinness said. She singled out the American sculptor as the rare artist who made his own jewels, rather than outsourcing the manufacturing to a workshop.

“He constantly had a pair of pliers in his pocket,” she said. “You’d go to stay in his house and he’d attack the silverware drawer and would have a beautiful brooch waiting for you with his initials. He made 1,800 pieces out of mostly silver or brass, all very well archived by his foundation.”

Ms. Guinness said when she opened her gallery in 2003, she made a conscious decision to focus on fine artists who had crossed over, however briefly, into jewelry. “I wanted to be known for one thing,” she said.

“Having said that, I am now, nearly 20 years on, moving over a little bit,” she added. “I do a show at Christmas every year where I do select jewelers who are artists, not artists who are jewelers. But I will only buy or represent people who make one-off or limited editions.” https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/06/fashion/art-jewelry-sienna-patti-louisa-guinness.html

Jewelers Who Make Art Ms. Guinness is not the only one with a newfound openness to the notion of jewelers as artists.

“Museums are just waking up to the artistry involved in jewelry making,” said Cynthia Amnéus, chief curator and the curator of fashion, arts and textiles at the Cincinnati Art Museum.

Take the 120 or so pieces on display in the museum’s “Simply Brilliant” exhibition, which is based on a collection of 1960s and 1970s jewelry owned by Kimberly Klosterman, a Cincinnati native who said she discovered her love for the era’s independent jewelers — including Andrew Grima, Gilbert Albert, Arthur King, Jean Vendome and Barbara Anton — when she took a Sotheby’s jewelry course in London in the mid-1990s.

“Looking for jewelry by artist-jewelers, at that time, was not so easy,” Ms. Klosterman recalled.

“Art fairs were not showing it at all. I would find the odd pieces and buy them out of what some dealers called their ‘big and ugly boxes.’ I tried to rescue pieces before they were scrapped.” https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/06/fashion/art-jewelry-sienna-patti-louisa-guinness.html

Even though the jewelers Ms. Klosterman gravitated toward did enjoy commercial and critical success in their day (Grima, for one, was a favorite of Princess Margaret’s), their use of traditional materials such as gold was secondary to their artistic visions. They often sought to evoke nature by texturing their metal and eschewing diamonds in favor of unusual, occasionally raw gem materials.

“When you read interviews with these artists, they talk about themselves first as artists, second as jewelers,” Ms. Amnéus said.

To hear Melanie C. Grant, the London-based editor, stylist and author of “Coveted: Art and Innovation in High Jewelry,” tell it, the gulf that has historically separated the two worlds is narrowing.

“In the 2020s, you have a combination of exceptional jewelry artists working in interesting materials,” Ms. Grant said. “That has culminated in a moment where galleries and collectors, the life force of fine art, are actually entertaining this as fine art.”

She referred to some of the market’s most desired and collectible jewelers, including Joel Arthur Rosenthal, a.k.a. JAR, an American based in Paris who initially “did stuff with color and scale and texture that changed what was possible for many designers,” she said.

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/06/fashion/art-jewelry-sienna-patti-louisa-guinness.html

The New York jeweler James Taffin de Givenchy; the Hong Kong-based lapidary and jeweler Wallace Chan; the family-owned brand Hemmerle in Munich; and Jacqueline Rabun, “a modern minimalist based in L.A.,” also topped Ms. Grant’s list.

Contemporary Studio Jewelers At the opposite end of the spectrum are contemporary studio jewelers who, unlike the high jewelers cited above, use found objects and banal materials to tell stories about themselves and the world around them.

“They’ll use wood or shells or lots of things that have no intrinsic value,” said Susan Cummins, founder and board chair of the nonprofit Art Jewelry Forum and co-author of the 2020 book “In Flux: American Jewelry and the Counterculture.” “The value of the piece comes from their ideas or their skills in making it.”

She named a handful of critically acclaimed artists whose work she admires, including Gijs Bakker from the Netherlands; Joyce Scott, a 2016 MacArthur Fellow based in Baltimore; and Dorothea Prühl, a talented wood carver from Germany, known for her dramatic, nature-inspired necklaces.

Many experts in the category also cited Lola Brooks of Atlanta, whose work occupies both the precious and conceptual worlds. “She’s playing on the saccharine quality of jewelry, nostalgia and sentimentality,” Ms. Patti said. “Her work can be very oversized or really small, and often has humor in it, but she’s using traditional skills.”

The unifying thread among all of these disparate studio jewelers is their desire to imbue their work with meaning, often resulting in bold statement jewels that disregard traditional aesthetic ideals and, sometimes, even the basics of wearability.

Their jewels have “political and sociological content — they deal with issues of gender, race and sex,” said Toni Greenbaum, a New York-based art historian and author of “Messengers of Modernism: American Studio Jewelry 1940-1960.” “Their jewelry has meaning beyond its use as an accessory.”

It should come as no surprise that the customers for such pieces are not typical jewelry buyers.

“My clients are not interested in fashion or trends,” said Lisa M. Berman, a contemporary art jewelry advocate and gallerist based in Laguna Beach, Calif., whose Sculpture to Wear byappointment showroom stages pop-ups and events around Southern California. “They are well heeled, well traveled, and they are interested in conveying a nonverbal message with a piece of jewelry.”

Discovering Art Jewelry Compared with traditional fine jewelry, art jewels are considerably less expensive. “You could buy a really good piece of art jewelry for under $5,000,” Ms. Cummins said. “And you can buy a lot of the greatest jewelers in this field for $20,000 to $25,000.”

To gain familiarity with the category, experts advise newcomers to read books, visit the Art Jewelry Forum website and follow artists on Instagram. They also advise attending art and design fairs such as Salon Art + Design in New York; the European Fine Art Fair, better known as TEFAF, in Maastricht, the Netherlands, and New York; and Design Miami.

For a hands-on education, however, nothing rivals seeing the work in person. In the United States, Ornamentum in Hudson, N.Y., and Ms. Patti’s Massachusetts gallery are highly regarded.

So are Atta Gallery in Bangkok and, in New Zealand, Fingers and The National.

In Europe, Galerie Marzee in the Dutch city of Nijmegen, about a 90-minute drive southeast of Amsterdam, is widely considered to be the finest showcase of contemporary art jewelry in the world. Founded in 1979 by Marie-José van den Hout, the gallery is spread across four floors, including one dedicated to Ms. van den Hout’s personal collection of about 2,000 pieces.

“It’s not commercial and you can hardly make a living with this sort of jewelry,” Ms. van den Hout said. “Sometimes people say, ‘Why don’t you sell easier jewelry?’ But for me, this is not so interesting.” https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/06/fashion/art-jewelry-sienna-patti-louisa-guinness.html

NYCxDESIGN: Pushing the Boundaries of Long Time Traditions at Salon Art + Design

By Alex Ulam

During NYCxDESIGN mid-November, we visited the Salon Art + Design exhibition to bring you the highlights of this year’s event.

One of the highlights of the city-wide NYC X Design week was the 10th annual Salon Art + Design, an extravaganza of collectible design and blue-chip art that was on view from November 10 through November 15 at the Park Avenue Armory. https://emag.archiexpo.com/nycxdesign-pushing-the-boundaries-of-long-time-traditions-at-salonart-design/

The event featured exhibits from 47 design galleries from around the world and included boundary-breaking work such as a 32-foot textured wall of ceramic clay debuted by Brooklynbased ceramicist Peter Lane that provided a Zen backdrop to an assortment of furniture including a serene-looking oval stone table, a cobalt room dividing screen and Lane’s signature Scholars Rock Lamps, an assortment of gilded blocks that appeared like some type of geological formation.

This was the first time that jewelry was exhibited in Salon and to mark the debut, there was a special exhibit that featured Brazilian jewelry designer Silvia Furmanovich’s new collection of marquetry houseware that included elaborate floral patterned mirrors, trays, vases and bowls.

The rich green hues and golden flowers are intended as a homage to the rainforests of Brazil and it was striking to see Furmanovich’s fastidious detailing applied to ceramics.

Thomas Fritsch staged an exhibition of French ceramics from 1950 through 1970, which included pieces that appeared to have been variously influenced by African sculpture and painters such as Pablo Picasso and Jean Miro. It featured mysterious vases in red and black with bulbous bases and sleek fluted openings, and an eye-catching lamp with a white shade and a large gentle sloping black base. The organic forms and the smooth silky finishes on these ceramic pieces made you want to caress them.

Another category killer was a sculptural table called The Frowning, which consisted of two massive sensuous slabs of Albizia Rosa wood at the booth of Les Ateliers Courbet, a New York City-based design gallery that specializes in craft. The Frowning as well as two sculptural side tables from solid black ash were made by the Italian sculptor/designer Mauro Mori who emphasizes simple organic forms and who often spends months on a single piece.

https://emag.archiexpo.com/nycxdesign-pushing-the-boundaries-of-long-time-traditions-at-salonart-design/

There was a major emphasis on materiality at this year’s exhibition and the Paris-based Maison Rapin exhibited some of the most rarified pieces including elaborately crafted cabinets decorated in turquoise, amber and agate. The venerable gallery also was exhibiting what was probably one of the most elegant pieces in the entire Salon show, an irregular-shaped confection of a chandelier called Water Lilies by the recently deceased designer Robert Goossens, which was comprised of bronze, gilt brass and rock crystal.

Visitors could marvel at the sheer creativity that went into the ethereal-looking resin tables on display at the exhibit curated by New York City-based Twenty First Gallery. Standouts included brilliantly colored Petit Fleur side tables by Helen De Saint Lager that consisted of floral arrangements impregnated in thick sections of resin delicately balanced on thin gilded legs.

Another otherworldly piece with deep visual interiority was the Flora Low Coffee Table by Marcin Rusak where the designer infused flowers and leaves into a black resin top supported by a round brushed brass base.

For design aficionados that wanted to walk on the wild side, the New York City-based R & Company displayed a series of playful works that included Weeping Lantern by Studio Job, an enormous corroded historic street lamp that in black and green oxidized metal was tilted over at an extreme angle. Other entertaining pieces in the exhibit were furry chairs with what looked like horns sticking out of them and the trademark dented glass sculptural work of glass artist Jeff Zimmerman, which included enormous open vessels that you could almost crawl into and a chandelier of handblown translucent white glass globes.

Probably the most striking thing about this year’s Salon Art + Design show was how unique so many of the objects on display were. The exhibits were completely different from one another and a testament to the fertile imaginations of the artists and their gallerists. And in a world that is increasingly defined by mass production and aesthetic conformity, it was refreshing to see how artists and craftspeople in this exhibition have been both pushing the boundaries as well as keeping alive long-time traditions of making things by hand.

Jewelry To Invest In: The Sea Urchin Earrings By Lily Gabriella

By Kate Matthams

The Sea Urchin earrings, in white gold, diamonds, spinels, garnets and aquamarine, by Lily ... [+] LILY GABRIELLA

The Brazilian designer's recent Collector's Editions saw her channel her love of color into a series of striking one-of-a-kind designs. With the Sea Urchin earrings, the JAR mentee has put her technical expertise to work in recreating the spiky surface and gentle curves of the seabed creature.

Two mismatched four-carat spinels sit atop domes of white gold, encrusted in micro-set diamonds, as spokes of inverted garnets and aquamarines reach towards the edges of the artist's seascape fantasy. "I am inspired by my surroundings - from the architecture to fashion and art galleries, living in London you’re spoilt for choice,’’ she says, "but some of the pieces I created last summer were inspired by my travels abroad, the Manta Ray brooch and Sea Urchin earrings in particular.

I enjoy taking something from the natural world". She is not the only one, fellow Brazilian jewelry designer Silvia Furmanovich recently created an installation paying tribune to the Amazon rainforest, for Salon Art + Design.

With their sizable oval central stones, the earrings are ladies-who-lunch chic with a little of the Princess Diana about them, but it's the beautifully mismatched colors that place them firmly within the here and now. Known for her use of color, the designer was influenced by the way light filters through the ocean to the seabed and the alternating blues and purples, aquamarines and garnets https://www.forbes.com/sites/katematthams/2021/12/03/jewelry-to-invest-in-the-sea-urchinearrings-by-lily-gabriella/

bring them to life. From sorting through her mother's jewelry box, to her latest statement-making investment piece, Lily Gabriella lifts the lid on her work.

Lily Gabriella, jewelry designer. LILY GABRIELLA

How did you get into jewelry? What was your initial inspiration?

I am beyond grateful for having grown up in a home that celebrates design in all its forms. As a child, I was never told that I wasn’t allowed near a rare object, painting or jewel and I certainly didn’t know their value back then. I was always encouraged by my mother and grandmother, both avid jewelry collectors, to rummage through their jewels while they were dressing to go out. Just like any young girl, I was fascinated by the sparkle and colors of gemstones, but little did I know I was looking at beautiful jewels that spanned centuries of design, each with fantastic provenance and perfectly emblematic of the period they represent. My mother and grandmother were both born with a keen eye for quality, it’s in their blood. https://www.forbes.com/sites/katematthams/2021/12/03/jewelry-to-invest-in-the-sea-urchinearrings-by-lily-gabriella/

Tell me a little about your working process. Do your pieces start as sketches or are you led by the materials themselves?

I tend to think of chromatic combinations and shapes first - color is at the forefront of my designs, I then like to play with volume and light to emphasize the beauty of the stone. I have a background in fine art so I start by sketching ideas based around a chosen stone and finally, once a piece is made, I do a gouache painting of it. I find it a therapeutic way of closing the production process.

Are you drawn to any particular themes or materials in your work?

I am inspired by art and architecture and this is evident in my designs. I love to express my love of color, sculptural design and exceptional craftsmanship using distinctive materials and nonstandard gemstone shapes, cuts and sizes, which adds to the uniqueness of the pieces.

The Pink Swirl earrings, pink sapphires and ombré titanium, by Lily Gabriella.

How would you like to see the Sea Urchin earrings styled?

Jewellery, clothes and fashion in general is an integral aspect of how you express yourself and of course that is very personal. I want my jewelry to be an extension of the wearer's personality and an emotional investment first and foremost. What is important to me is how my jewelry makes someone feel. I hope the wearer puts on my jewelry and feels empowered, beautiful and happy.

Jewels are for enjoying, after all.

What is your own most treasured piece of jewelry?

I was given a beautiful ring to celebrate a milestone birthday. What was particular about this ring was that it spelled my name twice, in diamond cursive, as it wrapped around my finger. My grandmother, whom I was named after, had asked a dear jeweler friend of hers to create it for me.

She then wrote a lovely letter saying that just as diamonds last forever, her and I are bound forever – just as our names are entwined in an infinite loop. https://www.forbes.com/sites/katematthams/2021/12/03/jewelry-to-invest-in-the-sea-urchinearrings-by-lily-gabriella/

What new challenges do you have coming up At the moment I am focusing on one-of-a-kind and bespoke jewels. My team will always say making my jewelry is a challenge, but we learn so much as no piece is the same. I like to design without inhibition so as not to limit my creativity - I am sure my production team would like to reign me in occasionally but they are a talented and dedicated team who always enjoy finding a way to bring my designs to life, however technically complicated it may be. Working with titanium for the first time recently, certainly posed new challenges, but I think looking at our Pink & Blue Swirl Earrings (above), it was definitely worth it.

What Is ‘Art Jewelry’? Look at the Term Again.

Lalique and Picasso were among the early makers, and now lots of contemporary designers are creating their own versions.

By Victoria Gomelsky

Emily Waterfall, the head of Bonhams’s jewelry department in Los Angeles, knew she was dealing with something special in November 2020, when she found herself inside a private storage facility surrounded by thousands of pieces of jewelry owned by Byron and Jill Crawford, a local couple who had devoted 40 years to collecting.

“The first piece I opened was the Picasso Grand Faune,” Ms. Waterfall said.

Like his fellow artists Alexander Calder, Salvador Dalí and Man Ray, Pablo Picasso dabbled in jewelry. To make the Grand Faune pendant, Picasso worked with the goldsmith François Hugo, who immortalized the impish-looking face of the half human, half goat creature in 23-karat gold.

The men made 20 pieces, one of which (No. 7) belonged to the Crawfords.

In mid-October, that pendant sold for $62,813 in “Wearable Art: Jewels From the Crawford Collection,” a noteworthy Bonhams sale that featured 314 lots of jewelry by some of the 20th century’s most important makers — including the modernists Art Smith and Margaret De Patta, the Hopi jeweler Charles Loloma and the American-born, Mexico-based silver jeweler William Spratling. Totaling $1.7 million, the sale was the first single-owner collection of artist jewelry ever presented at auction. Bonhams already is planning a second art jewelry sale for next fall.

“I was beyond flabbergasted by the response,” Ms. Waterfall said. “But we’re just at the beginning.”

Ms. Waterfall was referring to a growing segment of the jewelry market — sometimes called “art jewelry” — focused on one-of-a-kind pieces that often, but not always, employ non-precious materials to convey meaning. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/06/fashion/art-jewelry-sienna-patti-louisa-guinness.html

“It’s not commercial and you can hardly make a living with this sort of jewelry,” Ms. van den Hout said. “Sometimes people say, ‘Why don’t you sell easier jewelry?’ But for me, this is not so interesting.” https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/06/fashion/art-jewelry-sienna-patti-louisa-guinness.html

During NYCxDESIGN mid-November, we visited the Salon Art + Design exhibition to bring you the highlights of this year’s event.

One of the highlights of the city-wide NYC X Design week was the 10th annual Salon Art + Design, an extravaganza of collectible design and blue-chip art that was on view from November 10 through November 15 at the Park Avenue Armory. https://emag.archiexpo.com/nycxdesign-pushing-the-boundaries-of-long-time-traditions-at-salonart-design/

The event featured exhibits from 47 design galleries from around the world and included boundary-breaking work such as a 32-foot textured wall of ceramic clay debuted by Brooklynbased ceramicist Peter Lane that provided a Zen backdrop to an assortment of furniture including a serene-looking oval stone table, a cobalt room dividing screen and Lane’s signature Scholars Rock Lamps, an assortment of gilded blocks that appeared like some type of geological formation.

This was the first time that jewelry was exhibited in Salon and to mark the debut, there was a special exhibit that featured Brazilian jewelry designer Silvia Furmanovich’s new collection of marquetry houseware that included elaborate floral patterned mirrors, trays, vases and bowls.

The rich green hues and golden flowers are intended as a homage to the rainforests of Brazil and it was striking to see Furmanovich’s fastidious detailing applied to ceramics.

Thomas Fritsch staged an exhibition of French ceramics from 1950 through 1970, which included pieces that appeared to have been variously influenced by African sculpture and painters such as Pablo Picasso and Jean Miro. It featured mysterious vases in red and black with bulbous bases and sleek fluted openings, and an eye-catching lamp with a white shade and a large gentle sloping black base. The organic forms and the smooth silky finishes on these ceramic pieces made you want to caress them.

Another category killer was a sculptural table called The Frowning, which consisted of two massive sensuous slabs of Albizia Rosa wood at the booth of Les Ateliers Courbet, a New York City-based design gallery that specializes in craft. The Frowning as well as two sculptural side tables from solid black ash were made by the Italian sculptor/designer Mauro Mori who emphasizes simple organic forms and who often spends months on a single piece.

There was a major emphasis on materiality at this year’s exhibition and the Paris-based Maison Rapin exhibited some of the most rarified pieces including elaborately crafted cabinets decorated in turquoise, amber and agate. The venerable gallery also was exhibiting what was probably one of the most elegant pieces in the entire Salon show, an irregular-shaped confection of a chandelier called Water Lilies by the recently deceased designer Robert Goossens, which was comprised of bronze, gilt brass and rock crystal.

Visitors could marvel at the sheer creativity that went into the ethereal-looking resin tables on display at the exhibit curated by New York City-based Twenty First Gallery. Standouts included brilliantly colored Petit Fleur side tables by Helen De Saint Lager that consisted of floral arrangements impregnated in thick sections of resin delicately balanced on thin gilded legs.

Another otherworldly piece with deep visual interiority was the Flora Low Coffee Table by Marcin Rusak where the designer infused flowers and leaves into a black resin top supported by a round brushed brass base.

For design aficionados that wanted to walk on the wild side, the New York City-based R & Company displayed a series of playful works that included Weeping Lantern by Studio Job, an enormous corroded historic street lamp that in black and green oxidized metal was tilted over at an extreme angle. Other entertaining pieces in the exhibit were furry chairs with what looked like horns sticking out of them and the trademark dented glass sculptural work of glass artist Jeff Zimmerman, which included enormous open vessels that you could almost crawl into and a chandelier of handblown translucent white glass globes.

Probably the most striking thing about this year’s Salon Art + Design show was how unique so many of the objects on display were. The exhibits were completely different from one another and a testament to the fertile imaginations of the artists and their gallerists. And in a world that is increasingly defined by mass production and aesthetic conformity, it was refreshing to see how artists and craftspeople in this exhibition have been both pushing the boundaries as well as keeping alive long-time traditions of making things by hand.
