Salon Art + Design

Salon Art + Design showcases the pinnacle of design, presenting the world's finest vintage, modern, and contemporary pieces alongside blue-chip 20th-century artworks. Featuring leading art and design galleries from around the globe, as well as cutting-edge makers, the fair highlights the evolving trends of collectible design. For more than a decade, Salon has integrated both fine and decorative arts within the context of contemporary life, reflecting the belief that today's designers and collectors shape environments rather than merely accumulate objects. Salon's success lies in the exceptional quality of its exhibiting galleries, diverse international representation, and vetting, which are highly sought after by today's collectors and tastemakers. Appealing to seasoned connoisseurs and emerging collectors alike, Salon offers a comprehensive yet carefully curated collection, ensuring there is something to captivate every discerning taste.

This year, the Maison Gerard presented an exciting exhibition in two parts—one put French Art Deco works in conversation with furnishings by many of the gallery's premier contemporary designers; the other, in an adjacent space, was dedicated to Emma Donnersberg, Carol Egan, Aline Hazarian, and Ayala Serfaty—four outstanding female designers who push the boundaries of form, function, and style.

Together, these displays of contemporary and antique design (created all over the world, from Dublin to Beirut, from Venice to western Massachusetts), provoked a dialogue about traditional methods, materials, and connoisseurship, and served to connect design aesthetically and ideologically across time.

In addition to outstanding examples of French 20th century design from Jacques Adnet, Dominique, Gilbert Poillerat, and Jules Leleu, the gallery showed, for the first time in this century, a pair of rare bas-relief panels made of enameled stoneware by the renowned ceramist François-Emile Popineau. The artist created this diptych depicting the graces for the 1927 Salon d’Automne, at which it was one of the most celebrated decorative pieces shown.

In addition, the gallery showed mirrors by Jean-Luc Le Mounier & Douglas Fanning; a pair of beautifully embroidered benches by Miguel Cisterna & Mark Bankowsky; and blown-glass vases by Michaela Cattai. Particularly notable were Vortex, the final piece completed by the late American studio craft artist Michael Coffey; Niamh Barry’s extraordinary Ghost, a gently swelling, gravity-defying polished bronze bench; and Masha, a marvelous, long bronze coffee table by Ayala Serfaty, the outgrowth of the artist's ongoing research into cellular structure and organic abstraction.
