comunicato stampa

The Winter Antiques Show marks its 55th year as the most prestigious antiques show in America, featuring the “best of the best” from antiquities through the 1960s.

This fair is multiplicitous in ways that few others are anymore...with an ardent mix-it-up spirit that was once called eclectic and is now called postmodern.
Holland Cotter, The New York Times

One-third of the Show's 75 Exhibitors are specialists in American antiques and works of art, showing the finest in Shaker, Folk Art, Native American, Colonial, Federal, Arts & Crafts, and Aesthetic Movement pieces including American silver, glass, paintings, samplers, weathervanes, furnituyre, and sculpture. Two-thirds feature English, European, and Asian antiques, including early photography, porcelain, ceramics, silver, paintings, prints, rare books and autographs, Medieval and Renaissance manuscripts and works of art, Old Master prints, Impressionist though modern paintings, arms and armor, garden ornament, glass, Chinese Export porcelain, Russian works of art, jewelry, carpets, textiles, pre-Columbian art, Scandinavian, Italian, and English furniture, clocks, as well as ancient Egyptian, Greek, and Roman art. Each object in the Show is authenticated by a vetting committee of more than 160 experts.

New exhibitors this year are:

Antik: New York-based Antik specializes in early 20th century works by artists and architects designing at the forefront of the modernist movement in Scandinavia. Antik focuses on the studio ceramics from this period, exemplified by such masters as Berndt Friberg (Gustavsberg) and Axel Salto (Royal Copenhagen), whose work will be featured in this year’s Show. Antik also will exhibit handcrafted furniture from architects of the Danish Cabinetmaker Guild and the Swedish Functionalist movement.

Cohen & Cohen: Established in London in 1973 as an expert in Chinese export porcelain, Cohen & Cohen now holds one of the finest inventories of its kind in the world. Cohen & Cohen's booth will feature key pieces from its catalogue,Tiptoe Through the Tulipieres and a group of porcelain birds from the renowned James E. Sowell Collection.

Bernard Goldberg Fine Arts: Specializing in American art from 1900 to 1950 including paintings, sculpture, works on paper, and decorative arts, Bernard Goldberg Fine Arts will show Arts and Crafts furniture by Gustav Stickley and complementary paintings and works on paper by Edward Steichen, Arthur Wesley Dow, and Thomas Wilmer Dewing. Stickley highlights include an exceptionally rare 1904 chandelier with a mica shade, a 1905 drop-leaf desk, and a 1902 tea table with Grueby tiles. Also featured will be a rare, early (1907) Tonalist painting, Moonlit Landscape by Steichen.

Hans P. Kraus, Jr., Fine Photographs: Focusing on 19th and early 20th century photographs, and in particular, works before 1860, Kraus will recreate the interior of Alfred Stieglitz’s and Edward Steichen’s "291" gallery. Inspired by the ideas of the Arts and Crafts and Symbolist movements in Europe, the booth will feature Pictoralist photography by Steichen, Stieglitz, Julia Margaret Cameron, and Hill and Adamson, among others. The installation includes recreations of the lighting fixtures and burlap walls that match the color scheme of the original gallery.
