The International Show — formerly the International Fine Art and Antiques Show — returns for its 27th edition at the Park Avenue Armory, running October 23-29. In addition to its sleek new name, the fair is making strides toward an overall contemporary vibe, with a whole new section for 20th-century art and design, and a Young Collectors Party on the October 27. Plus, new galleries have joined the fray this year, including New York’s Hollis Taggart, Paris’s Galerie Ary Jan, Seattle’s Kagedo Japanese Art, Palm Beach’s Holden Luntz, and the recently opened Rosenberg & Co., founded by collector Paul Rosenberg’s granddaughter.
Still, not everything has changed: a number of notable dealers are returning, from Belgium’s Axel Vervoordt to New York’s Maison Gerard, London’s Frank Partridge, Monaco’s Véronique Bamps, and Jeffrey Bael Henkel from Pennington, New Jersey. Some highlights include a Roman statue of Venus at Ariadne Galleries; 1840s Swiss gold and enamel snake necklaces at A La Vieille Russie; a 1960s glass-topped coffee table by Jacques Quinet at Bernd Goeckler Antiques; and Andrew Wyeth’s watercolor “Four and Twenty Blackbirds,” 1998, at Schillay Fine Art.
