The Winter Show has shared preview highlights for its upcoming 2022 edition, including notable booth presentations and special activations at the fair. The 68th edition of the Show takes place April 1–10, 2022 at 660 Madison Avenue, the former flagship location of Barneys New York, following the postponement of the January show due to the surge in COVID-19 cases. Following this temporary move, The Winter Show, a benefit for East Side House Settlement, will return in 2023 to its longtime home at the Park Avenue Armory.
The 2022 edition features over 60 exhibitors across four floors of 660 Madison Avenue’s iconic building, presenting museum-quality works that span art, antiques, and design, from antiquities to contemporary art. The booths are arranged non-chronologically, allowing for a lively exchange across time periods, regions, artists, and makers. The Show includes a
number of thematic presentations and specially curated displays in collaboration with notable designers.
In keeping with The Winter Show’s commitment to presenting works that are the highest standards of quality in the art market, every object that is presented on the Show floor is vetted for authenticity, date, and condition by a committee of more than 120 experts from the United States and Europe.
