The Palm Beach Show: Jewelry | Art | Antiques | Design
Melvin Sokolsky, “Over New York,”1963, Printed Later, Infused Dyes Sublimated on Aluminum, Holden Luntz Gallery
Now that Ann Lowengart Interiors has studios in the San Francisco Bay Area and Palm Beach, Annie can partake in each area's best design resources. In Southern Florida, one of these is the upcoming 19th Annual Palm Beach Show showcasing local and global dealers, offering an extraordinary range of fine and decorative arts from antiquity to contemporary. The event held at the Palm Beach County Convention Center from February 17-22, 2022, attracts private collectors, museum curators, investors, and interior designers.
Past years give a clue of what treasures might be on display for 2022. In 2019, Palm Beach's Holden Luntz Galley exhibited American photographer Melvin Sokolsky's "Over New York." The ethereal photo is a part of his 1963 series "Bubbles" for Haper's Bazaar. It was one of the trial shots for the Paris campaign where fashion models floated in a transparent sphere above the Seine River and city streets.
At The Palm Beach Show 2021, Cavalier Galleries, with locations in New York, Greenwich, Nantucket, and Palm Beach, showed Bjorn Skaarup's whimsical "Hippo Ballerina, pirouette." The Danish sculptor created the hippo in bronze with a fabric tutu. For this anthropomorphic work, Skaarup found inspiration in the iconic "Little Dancer" statue by Edgar Degas.
Chicago's Galerie Fledermaus specializes in Symbolist and Expressionist artworks. While the gallery is known for modern Austrian artists Gustav Klimt and Egon Schiele, they also carry contemporary American artists. One of these, Zane York, showed his painting, "Arrangement XIX" at The Palm Beach Show 2021. York, a classically trained realist artist, puts a surrealist twist on his work.
