Scott Diament, President and CEO of the Palm Beach Show Group, says, “This is the premiere show for American paintings. Dealers like Godel & Co., David David Gallery, Avery Galleries, Debra Force Fine Art, and Thomas Colville Fine Art will all be exhibiting, plus the finest European dealers who offer American paintings. There’s no other show like it in the world.”
Galleries bringing the very best in high-end design include Long-Sharp Gallery, Todd Merrill Studio, and Cedric Dupont Antiques, who has an incredible 1,000 square-foot booth showcasing French furniture, bronzes, and more. In addition to their booth, Long-Sharp Gallery will present a stunning show entrance designed by renowed Dutch sculptors Rob and Jaap Thalen (Thalen & Thalen), creators of contemporary silver objects. Todd Merrill Studio will exhibit a collection of unique, material-driven works from nine artists. Says Merrill, “While the works are definitive of the 21st-century, they also frequently reference the past, whether through historical technique or visual aesthetics.”
Todd Merrill Studio, Cedric Dupont Antiques, ACA Galleries, A.R.T., Surovek Gallery, Cantor Fine Art, and Vendome are among the group of exceptional dealers exhibiting at the show this year for the first time. Godel & Co., Schillay Fine Art, and Holly Johnson will also be returning to the show after a hiatus. Says Howard Godel, “We are pleased to be returning to the show, which has become a destination for curators and collectors.”

Industry experts and well-respected dealers such as Carl David, Deborah Pollack, Benjamin Macklowe, Michael Goedhuis, and Thomas Colville will give presentations on a wide range of captivating topics, from the complexities of the collection and care of fine art to the ways in which art, fashion, technology and globalism continue to define Art Deco jewelry.
The Palm Beach Jewelry, Art & Antique Show is the largest and most important show of its kind; a true must-see for art connoisseurs this Presidents’ Day Weekend.
