NIGHTLIGHT: Twentieth Century and Contemporary Fine and Decorative Arts NOVEMBER 13 – 16, 2009 • PARK AVENUE ARMORY AT 67th ST • PREVIEW NOV 12 • WWW.SANFORDSMITH.COM
Sanford L. Smith & Associates’ two fall fairs become one superlative art and design event this year. In the past, ART20 occupied the historic Park Avenue Armory in early November, with Modernism directly following. From November 13 – 16, 2009, the fairs will combine, creating a singular opportunity to explore the very best of an era.
In 1986, Modernism: Centuries of Style and Design was the first fair devoted to the major European and American design movements of the 20th century. Modernism is still the setting where this market is defined and redefined every year. A selection of the finest international dealers will exhibit and sell museum-quality prototypes and rare pieces of furniture, glass, lighting, silver and other decorative objects in the traditions of Art Deco, Scandinavian, Arts and Crafts, Wiener Werkstätte, Postmodern, the 50’s 60’s and 70’s. In recent years, examples of rare contemporary design that advance the spirit of Modernism have also made their way to the show floor.
