About Salon Art + Design

Salon Art + Design 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 Salon lies in the quality of its exhibiting galleries, the extremely international flavor 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 Art + Design is the only international fair of this caliber to combine styles, genres, and periods, cutting a universal and timeless swath.

"The most thematically permissive fair in New York's art schedule—where sofas compete with paintings and sculptures—brings up old questions about why we like objects."
- The New York Times

Forbes Thumbnail

"Salon has always stood apart—not just as a design fair but as a mood, a gathering, a way of thinking about how we live with beauty. What began as a fair has become a conversation about the emotional architecture of collecting."
