Winter 28 www.afamag.com | w ww.incollect.com Highlights The prestigious Winter Antiques Show will be celebrating its 63rd year from January 20-29, 2017 at the Park Avenue Armory in New York City. All net proceeds from the preeminent art, antiques and design fair benefit East Side House Settlement, a nationally recognized community-based organization in the South Bronx. Curators, designers, and collectors will vie for the best works on the market, from antiquity through the present, showcased by 73 exhibitors. One third of the exhibitors are specialists in Americana, while their colleagues will feature English, European, and Asian fine and decorative arts. Every object exhibited is vetted for authenticity, date, and condition by a committee of 160 experts from the United States and Europe. The Winter Antiques Show has enlisted some of the top influencers in the world of interior design to be this year’s Honorary Design Chairs: Jamie Drake, Caleb Anderson, Celerie Kemble, and Miles Redd. This group was chosen for their prominence in the industry and expertise in decorating with a breadth of design materials. The 2017 loan exhibition, Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Folk Art Museum: Revolution & Evolution , honors the Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Folk Art Museum, one of the Art Museums of Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia. The museum is the oldest continuously operating institution in the United States dedicated solely to collection, exhibition, and preservation of American folk art and commemorates its 60th anniversary in 2017. Show attendees will also be able to attend a series of lectures. 2017 Winter Antiques Show January 20–29, 2017 Park Avenue Armory, 643 Park Avenue, New York, NY For information visit www.WinterAntiquesShow.com Gold and enamel pendant.
