NEW YORK—Being at the International Fine Art & Antique Dealers Show is like shopping tens of the world’s finest museums all at once. In its 24th year, the show has returned to the Park Avenue Armory at 67th St. this month.
With over 60 exhibitors of fine paintings, sculptors, antiquities, and jewelry, the experience can be quite overwhelmingly magnificent, as if all the beautiful objects from history have spilled out over an exhibition floor. Here are some highlights from the press preview to get you started:
At Douglas Dawson Ethnographic Arts, see ceremonial gear and ritual objects from various African cultures, as well as torques that were once used as currency. It’s unknown exactly how much they were worth when these cumbersome objects were in circulation, but they are worth something like $21,500 now.
