Since emerging in 16th-century Italy, salons have been known for their refinement and wit. From Rococo-era readings of the 18th century to avant-garde art exhibitions of the late–19th, there’s never a dull moment in the history of salons. Picking up the baton and running with it, Salon Art + Design returns to the Park Avenue Armory for its 14th edition. The city’s premiere design fair brings together more than 50 galleries, including newcomers like Craftica Gallery—which specializes in Polish artistry—and staples like Nilufar. Led by Nicky Dessources, its executive director, Salon Art + Design features some of the world’s finest vintage pieces alongside modern and contemporary work. The advisory council includes household names like Michael Bargo, Adam Charlap Hyman, and Giancarlo Valle. —Jeanne Malle
