1. SALON ART + DESIGN | November 9–13
There’s always something intriguing about the masterful mix of art, design, antiquities, and jewelry on view at Salon Art + Design, the annual New York fair taking place at the storied Park Avenue Armory from November 9 to 13. The 12th edition offers a staggering breadth of wares from the world’s top dealers, including Achille Salvagni, who is presenting new cabinets and some striking onyx and bronze wall sconces in his Salon Art + Design debut, and Amsterdam-based Mia Karlova Galerie, which mounts an exclusive exhibit of works by designers such as Sho Ota and Vadim Kibardin. New York’s J. Lohmann Gallery shows Ahryun Lee’s ceramic figures, and Todd Merrill Studio, a mainstay of the event, is displaying pieces by Yunhwan Kim, an up-and-coming Korean artist who is causing a stir with his irregular and organic furniture.
