NEW YORK—With technology taking over so many aspects of our lives, a compelling New Year’s resolution might be to discover events like New York’s Winter Antiques Show, which celebrates history, heritage, and most of all, handmade artisan crafts. Or, if you’re curious about how world-class collectors, connoisseurs, and museum curators shop to augment their collections, then this leading art, antiques, and design fair is worth a trip—or at least (if you give in to technology) a visit to its website.
Visiting the Winter Antiques Show is similar to taking a visual history class of world culture. Each January, the show is held at the city’s Park Avenue Armory and highlights a mix of fine and decorative arts from antiquity to the present, with items from all over the globe.
