We are pleased to announce that three of our Asia Week New York members—Ralph M. Chait Galleries Inc., Joan B Mirviss LTD and Thomsen Gallery—will once again participate in The Winter Show this year. On view from January 24 through February 2, Ralph M. Chait Galleries, one of the event’s longest-standing exhibitors since 1960, will showcase a collection of fine antique Chinese porcelain and artworks at Booth E8, Joan B Mirviss LTD will be exhibiting FORM not FUNCTION: Japanese Ceramic Sculpture featuring extraordinary clay creations from over thirty master modern and contemporary sculptors, the majority of which have been specially commissioned for this exhibit in Booth E5, and Thomsen Gallery will be displaying important Japanese paintings and works of art including an exquisite six-panel folding screen in Booth C6.
Additionally, AWNY is delighted to once again partner with The Winter Show to host the panel discussion Art and the Great Expositions: The World Wide Web of Taste, 1876–1904 taking place on September 25 at 3pm. This engaging, in-person event will feature four expert panelists and will be moderated by Dessa Goddard, U.S. Head of the Asian Art Group and Senior Vice President at Bonhams. The discussion will explore the long-term aesthetic impact of World Fairs on American decorative art and painting during the Gilded Age, as well as early twentieth-century decorative arts and paintings, including the influence of Japanese art and craftsmanship.
The Winter Show is the première art, antiques, and design fair in America, featuring many of the world’s top experts in the fine and decorative arts. The Fair was established in the mid-1950s as a benefit for East Side House Settlement and, by the end of that decade, had firmly established itself as the leading event of its kind in the United States.
