As many of you know, we have been exhibiting at The Palm Beach Show for almost 20 years. During the summer of 2022, one of the owners contacted me with some interesting news; they had just acquired the Art Palm Beach show (which takes place in January) and wanted us to exhibit. We gave them a resounding YES! They also noted that the show’s producer/director would be Kassandra Voyagis, who runs the LA Art Show. I have known Kassandra for many years, and she is one of the best in the business.
Art Palm Beach will be very different from the February show, where they offer an array of exhibitors, from art to jewelry to furniture to silver. The focus of Art Palm Beach, which runs from January 25th – 29th, will be on Modern and Contemporary works of art (no jewelry, antiques, etc.). Their goal is to feature 70-80 of the world’s best dealers; from what I have heard, they are close to hitting that mark.
The promoters also announced that St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital would be their exclusive charity partner for this year’s show, and 15% of ticket sales would be donated. In addition, anyone who purchases Opening Night tickets during December will receive a special gift from St. Jude at the event.
So, we will participate in both the January and February shows this year. In January, Rehs Contemporary Galleries will feature a wide array of contemporary works by Tony South, Stuart Dunkel, Ben Bauer, Todd Casey, Nigel Cox, Mark Lague, Gail Descoeurs, Anne-Marie Zanetti, and many others. Then in February, our booth will exhibit a blend of historical and contemporary works of art. While we still have a bit of time before making the final decision on what to bring, we will have a great selection of historical works by Daniel Ridgway Knight, Julien Dupré, Edouard Cortès, Antoine Blanchard, Montague Dawson, and a few amazing surprises.
We should have our limited number of complimentary tickets for the January show just after the New Year. The upcoming Comments on the Art Market edition will have more information on how and when to contact us.
