An exquisite San Francisco Fall Show Opening Night Gala took place at the Festival Pavilion of the Fort Mason Center for Arts & Culture on October 11th.
This year's show invites to celebrate La Dolce Vita, the epitome of the Italian "good life." It's a call to bask in the pure pleasure of appreciating and collecting art, antiques, and design. From luminaries like Botticelli to Bertoia, Fellini to Fornasetti, Schiaparelli to Sottsass, La Dolce Vita embodies poetic beauty, awe-inspiring art, groundbreaking design, vibrant colors, and refined materials. Andiamo!
The 41st edition of the Show shows over forty international dealers, each offering an extraordinary array of fine and decorative arts spanning diverse styles and eras, encompassing American, English, Continental, and Asian furniture, decorative objects, paintings, prints, photographs, books, gold, silver, precious metals, jewelry, rugs, textiles, and ceramics. Dealers present pieces ranging from antiquity to the present day. The Show will features a popular series of book signings and lectures, with confirmed speakers including luminaries like Nina Campbell, Newell Turner, Jean Liu, Miguel Flores-Vianna, Brigette Romanek, Michael Diaz-Griffith, Noz Nozawa, William Li, Alfredo Paredes, and many more.
The 2023 Show's Honorary Chair is none other than Lauren Santo Domingo, Co-Founder and Chief Brand Officer at Moda Operandi and Artistic Director of the Home Collection at Tiffany & Co.
