Salon Art + Design, produced by Sanford L. Smith + Associates, presents the world’s best design – vintage, modern, and contemporary – enhanced by blue-chip 20th-century art. The Salon’s inclusivity and willingness to consider both fine and decorative art in the context of contemporary life is predicated on the belief that today, more than ever, designers and collectors create environments rather than collect objects.
The success of the Salon lies in the quality of its exhibiting galleries, the extremely international flavour of the material, and an eclecticism that is highly sought by today’s collectors and tastemakers.
Appealing to seasoned and young collectors alike, Salon offers an extensive yet curated range of pieces,
ensuring something for everyone. Salon is the only international fair of this caliber to combine styles,
genres, and periods cutting a universal and timeless swath.
