    The New York Art, Antique & Jewelry Show made its annual return to the Park Avenue Armory (643 Park Avenue) November 20-24, 2015. Presented by the Palm Beach Show Group, this important event will feature more than 80 international exhibitors, an engaging lecture series and exclusive interior designer led tours.

    As one of New York City’s longest running events, the show has become a hallmark in the city’s social season and has set a benchmark of excellence in the art, antique and jewelry industry. The show is known for bringing thousands of works of art and antiquities from domestic and international galleries, in addition to fabulous antique and estate jewels from many of the world’s elite jewelers. The New York Art, Antique & Jewelry Show boasts an enviable selection of antiquities and upon its return, will draw tens of thousands of private collectors, museum curators, art advisors and interior designers who are eager to view and purchase the unique, the rare and the one-of-a-kind.

    The Show kicked off with a Private Opening Night Preview Party for VIP guests on Friday, November 20. The Opening Night Preview Party draws attendees who love art, including museum curators, political dignitaries, collectors and the social elite. The invitation-only evening provides a first-look of the New York Art, Antique & Jewelry Show offerings before they are available to the public.

    Adding to the grandeur of the event, Le Cirque produced three distinct dining experiences for attendees at the show this year, including the iconic pop-up restaurant, the Le Cirque Brasserie. Limited private events and reservations are being accepted for this space throughout the show’s duration.

    “This year we have the best and most diverse roster of international dealers ever put together under one roof,” stated Scott Diament, President and CEO of the Palm Beach Show Group. “We are proud to bring the City couture, European-inspired event that is befit for New York – with unique dining, an elite shopping experience, and an unrivalled cultural experience.”

    The more than 30,000 items at the show will span every genre, juxtaposing many periods and movements. Visitors will have the opportunity to view and purchase fine art from across a broad spectrum of Old Masters, German Expressionist, 18th and 19th century European, American Regionalist, and Modern and Contemporary artists. They will also have the opportunity to view some of the world’s finest collections of silver, glass, textiles, sculpture, porcelain, Asian art, furniture, antique and estate jewelry and more.

    The 2015 show returns with an impressive list of leading international galleries, many of which will bring works never before seen in Palm Beach.

    BERKO Fine Paintings will feature Edmond Georges Grandjean’s “Official Parade to the Paris World Fair” from 1878. Geneva based Suzanne Syz Art Jewels, whose client list boasts Hollywood royalty, Elizabeth Taylor and aristocratic royalty alike, will showcase a one-of-a-kind 17.24 carat Pink Tourmaline ring. Specializing in Impressionist and Modern British paintings, Richard Green, will feature works by Renoir and New Orleans-based M.S. Rau Antiques will showcase rarities including Pope Paul VI’s 13 carat white diamond ring and gold cross.

    With an emphasis on design, the Show has once again partnered with the New York School of Interior Design.

    Exclusive Interview with Artist Juan Bernal NYC

    Exclusive Interview with Artist Juan Bernal NYC

    Comments are closed

    My work is about the importance of simple things; elements of nature that we usually
    take for granted, and whose beauty we don’t take time to observe, like a fragment of
    a leave, a flower, or the way light is reflected as it strikes a drop of dew.
    These elements are recreated with emphasis in the geometry of nature’s designs. It
    is the complexity within the simplicity.

    The work constitutes an alarm to remind us all to preserve the environment that we
    are part of and that we are relentlessly destroying.
    Destroying “Nature” is destroying ourselves!
