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 13th edition. The international art fair brings together 44 artists from nearly 50 galleries, including newcomers like Bossa and Ippodo and returning participants such as Bernard Goldberg Fine Arts and NILUFAR. Led by Nicky Dessources, its new executive director, Salon Art + Design features some of the world’s finest vintage pieces alongside modern and contemporary work. —Jeanne Malle
