+Chenel Galerie @AxelverVoordtgallery

    TEFAF was established in 1988. It is widely regarded as the world's pre-eminent fair of art and antiques.  They champion the finest quality art from across ages by creating a community of the world's top art dealers and experts to inspire loves and buyers of art everywhere.  It is fist year in New York with Park Avenue Armory's additional new space. Park Avenue Armory is perfect place for the show since it is located in New York's Privileged neighborhood.  

It was an amazing and inspirational experience to attend the show.  The opening day, Anderson Cooper came the Armory on his lunch break and purchase a work at the Otto Naumann LTD. booth: Anton Raphael Menas's Portrait of Mariana de Silva y Sarmiento, Duquesa de Huescar, for $275,000. 

I am glad that we can see the stunning show twice a year in New York.

Manus & Machina - Fashion in an Age of Technology

Issey Miyake (1990) & Nora Raviv (2014)

    The Metropolitan Museum's Costume Institute's spring 2016 explores how fashion designers are reconciling the handmade and the machine-made in the creation of haute couture and avant-garde read to wear.  

It shows more than 170 ensembles dating from the early 20th century to the present, the exhibition addresses the founding of the haute couture in the 19th century, when the sewing machine was invented, and the emergence of a distinction between the hand (Manus) and the machine (Machina) at the onset of mass production. It explores this ongoing dichotomy, in which hand and machine are presented as discordant tools in the creative process, and questions the relationship and distinction between haute couture and read to wear.

Many pieces are a piece of Art than a Garment to wear...  Stunning beauty...
