Philadelphia is a phenomenal city for art and antiques, and the Philadelphia Show has been an annual event since its founding in 1962. Previously the show benefited Penn Medicine, but in 2018 the Philadelphia Museum of Art took over. This year, the show’s proceeds benefit the museum’s Department of Learning and Engagement. Over 40 dealers of international stature are gathering for the 63rd edition, which features antiques, fine art, Americana, period furniture, folk art, ceramics, porcelain, silver, jewelry, textiles, and decorative arts. Each day offers a number of Dealer Talks—informal conversations that take place in various booths. For instance, George Perilstein at Future Nostalgia takes on the “Chaise Lounge by Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret, and Charlotte Perriand,” and Vickie Manning of Somerville Manning celebrates “NC Wyeth: The Great American Storyteller.” —Laura Jacobs
