Special Exhibitions

Exceptional installations fill Park Avenue Armory's first floor historic rooms which include the Colonels Rooms (all originally designed by the Herter Brothers), the Library (designed by Associated Artists - Louis C. Tiffany and Stanford White), and the Staff Parlor. Be sure to visit the breathtaking exhibitions presented by Silvia Furmanovich, Lillian Gorbachincky, Studio Greytak, Avoirdupois, Peter Lane Studio, Didier Ltd, Unica, Nathan Litera, and Trove Wallpaper.

Didier Ltd

In the South Hall

Didier Ltd is a gallery unique in specializing in jewelry made and designed by painters, sculptors, architects and designers from the late 19th to the end of the 20th century.The gallery will be presenting a selection of jewels created by Modern Masters, by painters and sculptors whose artworks are collected and prized internationally although their contributions to jewelry design might be less well known. All these jewels have been acquired from the secondary art market and with the benefit of hindsight so that the pieces selected truly reflect the artists’ oeuvre. Furthermore, the gallery will be concentrating on jewelry by women artists who often started by making pieces for themselves, so that the jewelry they wore became an extension of their artistic persona.

At Salon, Litera will present his very first furniture collection Altana. The collection is inspired by the architecture of Venetian Palazzi, a distinct crossroads of Italian Gothic architecture and Byzantine influences. The pieces evoke the details seen in these palaces with references to the quatrefoil - the ornamental design resembling a four-leaf clover - and lancet arches.
