DAYLIGHT: THE LEGENDARY ‘INTERNATIONAL FAIR’ GROWS IN 2009 A LARGER AND MORE VARIED ROSTER OF WORLD-CLASS DEALERS WILL EXHIBIT AT THE 21ST ANNUAL EVENT AT THE PARK AVENUE ARMORY, NEW YORK

Anna and Brian Haughton, the London-based fair organizers are delighted to announce that the 2009 INTERNATIONAL FINE ART AND ANTIQUE DEALERS SHOW will be a larger event than in years past, with 65 exhibitors, up four dealers compared to last year’s group of 61. Some of the top names in the field have been added to the already stellar line-up making it the most varied and well-rounded International Show in decades. The fair will take place from October 16th-22nd at the Park Avenue Armory, Park Avenue at 67th Street, New York City. Since its launch in 1989 the fair has become one of the world’s finest art and antiques fairs, known for its stylish décor, exceptional works of art and staggering variety. A complete list fair exhibitors can be viewed on the Haughton website at www.haughton.com Whom You Know visited this phenomenal show yesterday and we look forward to featuring many of its participants.

This glamorous showcase brings together superb works of art, among them many of museum quality. Furniture, paintings, sculpture, textiles, ceramics, glass, clocks, watches, arms, armour, rare books, manuscripts, jewelry, objets de vertu,Fabergé, silver, antiquities and ethnographic art, are among the many different categories included and for sale. Prices start from as little as a few hundred dollars but rise into the millions.

At its launch The International was the first fair in the United States to introduce vetting; a stringent set of guidelines designed to maintain the highest standards of quality and authenticity in the works of art on view and for sale. The great value of vetting at art and antiques fairs lies in the safeguards and reassurance it offers to buyers. The vetting committees combine both academic and commercial expertise in their membership, including museum personnel as well as other eminent specialists.

Optimism and confidence prevail among the exhibitors this year despite global economic concerns. “Quality sells,” comments Brian Haughton, who organizes the fair with his wife Anna and exhibits as well. “The fair’s enduring strength is validation that the market for quality is strong and resilient. We are delighted that the IFAADS remains in a leadership position as the top international platform in America today.”

The fair opened with a Preview Party for The Society of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center on the evening of Thursday, October 15th, which also inaugurated the Fall social season in New York. A glittering charity event, the Preview Party attracted over 1000 guests drawn from among the cream of New York society, and at the same time raises over $1m for The Society.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
