The scope of my world as a "collector/accessorator" 
is rapidly expanding ....
interior, furniture, art, & design are becoming one!!!

It became especially apparent last week ....
when I wandered around NYC's first Frieze Art Fair!!!
And here's why ......

Artist Mickalene Thomas is working on a series of paintings 
that all references "interiors".

Furniture/sculpture from Max Lamb, Franz West, 
Richard Artschwager, Allison Katz
is both for sale by dealers & is being "used" in the booths.

Artists Gelitin, Matt Golden, & Olga Koumoundouros 
have incorporated "furniture" into their work.

Martino Gamper's & Hun-Chung Lee's "art" is furniture!!!

And finally ....,, 
English gallerist Stephen Friedman's booth 
is "furnished" & everything is for sale!!!

This confirms my newest theory .....
there is a single "dialogue" incorporating the worlds of 
art, interior, furniture, & design ......
making everything an "accessoration"!!!

I am thrilled by the addition of the "world of design" 
to the Artnet's on-line auction site!!! 
 I've decided to print the press release verbatim, 
as it clearly gives all of the details!!!

 Artnet auctions announced the introduction of design auctions to be held alongside the existing auctions of paintings, sculpture, prints and photographs. The inaugural sale featured a collectible 20th century decorative arts and design, as well as contemporary design from an international roster of artists and designers. Included were historical highlights by Marcel Breuer, Greta Grossman, Pierre Jeanneret, Pierre Paulin, Hans Wegner, Gio Ponti and Ettore Sottsass and contemporary works by Ron Arad, Gaetano Pesce, Maria Pergay, Marc Newson and Tokujin Yoshioka.


New auction lots of design will go live each week, providing a consistent and curated online auction marketplace. The department will focus on all periods of 20th and 21st century design, including Secessionist, Art Deco, French modernism, American mid-century, Scandinavian and Italian modernism, Post-modern and 1980s design,American Studio furniture and Contemporary, as well as glass and ceramics from all periods; the department will also promote specific themes and categories where greater market attention is needed.


According to new department head, Brent Lewis, former Christie's auctioneer and Gallery Director at Moss, "The opportunities presented to buy and sell a curated selection of design via auction with the ease of artnet auction's online platform are very exciting. The flexibility and efficiency this model provides will open up design to a new audience, as well as providing established collectors and dealers a viable source and outlet; all under the banner of artnet, one of the world's largest art and design communities and the major resource for art and design, information, news; and now, access to both primary and secondary markets."


Consignments will be taken on a continual basis. For more information on consigning to artnet auctions, contact the design department at design@artnet.com.

I visited the new Talisman store on Edbury Street yesterday and it's fabulous!!!!

The flagship design store on King's Road has always been a must stop for me in London. I adore the eclectic mix of vintage and contemporary design, featuring designer legends that include Karl Springer, Paul Evans, & Curtis Jere. The new store is all that ........ and more of it!!! 

Bravo to Ken Bolan for this wonderful addition to the London design scene ......
He is an "accessorator" supreme!!!!!


bureau.jpg
I would kill for the boomerang desk (in any color!!!) ....... it was designed in 1969 by Maurice Calka and manufactured by Leleu-Deshays. Made of molded fiberglass and plastic the unique desk was produced in a limited edition of 35. The iconic piece has 3 drawers on the right and one hanging file drawer on the left. Molded chairs were also produced to go with the desk. French President Georges Pompidou was so impressed by the minimal desk, that he had a white version placed in the Elysée Palace. The desk's modern "fantasy" shape and unusual material was a bit in conflict with the rest of the Palace's "classic" decor ...... a collection of baroque French antiques!!!! Now, that is a fabulous "accessoration"!!!! Today the stylized, late 60's desk is highly desirable to furniture collectors ...... in 2008 Christies sold one at auction for $480,000!!
