From Friday, 13th through Sunday 15th the tent at Lincoln Center in Damrosch Park will transform from hosting the glamour of NY Fashion Week to hosting the glamour of mid-20th century style furniture and art.  The inaugural New York 20th Century Art and Design Fair will showcase the best in 20th century art and design from 36 premier dealers all from 1stdibs.  This exquisite Fair will kick off with an early buying preview party on Thursday, April 12th.  The preview will benefit the Bard Graduate Center: Decorative Arts, Design History, Material Culture.  I’m looking forward to being at the preview party and get to see the curated selection of furniture, ceramics, textiles, furniture and lighting among others.  Enjoy!

 

I’m more than exited to attend The Young Collectors Night this Thursday.  Hosted by East Side House Settlement and sponsored by New York Magazine, Benjamine Moore, and Elie Tahari, the exiting evening will attract a very interesting crowd of young collectors, philanthropists, design aficionados and, needless to say, antique enthusiasts.  The high-energy evening will offer the attendees a private view of the world’s most prestigious antiques shows “renowned for its unparalleled showcase of American, English, European, and Asian fine and decorative arts dating from antiquity through the 1960’s.”  
Guests will also have to opportunity to meet some of the country’s most prestigious designers at the “Meet the Designers” reception which will be led by the multitasking and extremely nice person Wendy Goodman, Design Editor of New York magazine.  “Proceeds from ticket sales will benefit the East Side House Settlement, a leading social services agency that serves young people and families in the South Bronx and surroundings communities”.
