Not quite new attitude or new look but definitely new leadership, new perspective and new energy at Salon Art + Design in New York City this month. Nicky Dessources, the new director, made this happen by including a more diverse group of artists and expanding the sometimes-homogenous feel of the show in past years. This made the show robust with a more sanguine possibility of finding the next great piece for collectors to acquire. Many pieces exhibited had a modern fluidity to them even if the date said otherwise and would delight the very best interior designers to play and mix timelines. This new energy played well with the ethos of Maison Gerard, whose brilliance of pairing glazed stone from 1927 with sculptured lighting from 2018 was a favorite. The 13th edition of the fair hosted more than 54 global exhibitors across five days, presenting vintage and contemporary pieces at the Park Avenue Armory.
