The Salon Art + Design is where 19th and 20th century fine art meets historic, modern and contemporary furniture and groundbreaking decorative art. Five seems to be the lucky number for The Salon Art + Design this year. 55 exceptional galleries will be exhibiting over five days, on the 5th anniversary of the event. In addition to the 55 leading galleries from across the globe, The Salon will feature an impressive selection of works by established and up-and-coming talents, including historical masters. Visitors to The Salon are equally likely to encounter a work by a great 20th century master as a creative piece by one of today’s most innovative young artists. This welcome juxtaposition ensures a vibrant eclecticism and international flavor.

“We’re about environments - from the incredible architecture of the Park Avenue Armory itself to thinking about objects and images with which people live in 2016,” says Jill Bokor, Executive Director of The Salon.

Todd Merrill Studio will be exhibiting a collection of unique, material-driven works by nine captivating artists, including Irish artist Niamh Barry, whose sculptures are displayed so as to be experienced from every angle, exemplifying the artist’s mastery of balance and movement, Sophie Coryndon, whose work is inspired by the elements of the natural world and historical aesthetics, and Marc Fish, who transcends the barriers of art, design, sculpture and furniture. Must-view works in this booth include Niamh Barry’s Black Poise, a monumental 7’ LED and bronze light suspended sculpture, Sophie Coryndon’s Honeymoon, a suspended cast bronze sphere with a faceted honeycomb texture that rotates on a vertical axis, and Marc Fish’s Laminaria Chaise (pictured above), which furthers the artist’s exploration of twisted seaweed forms.

Impeccable Art Deco, mid-century modern works and more will be exhibited from America, France, Italy and Scandinavia, paired with work from young artists and designers. The Salon is the only vetted international fair of this caliber to combine styles, genres, and periods, creating a universal and timeless experience.
