Avenue's Antiques, Art & Design Ups 'Wow' Factor At Armory
:Less is often more, but in the case of Avenue Shows' Antiques, Art & Design at the Armory, more is better.
The fall edition of the show that ran September 22–25 at the Park Avenue Armory embraced what show director Barbara Goodwin described as "expansion mode" with more dealers and more special events and programming offered. While the spring edition hosted 49 dealers here, 66 dealers set up shop this time around to offer a diverse and choice selection of items from the last four centuries or so. From panel discussions and lectures on topics from women in interior design to jewelry and decorating with antiques, the show offered plenty to do — and see. It is thus little surprise that this show has become known as the premier event of the fall season in Manhattan.
The timeframe of merchandise was extended a bit for this show, and buyers found items from the Seventeenth Century through the mid-Twentieth Century, which prompted the addition of "Design" in the show's title. Buyers responded enthusiastically to these changes, with a crowd of more than 1,500 attending the show's preview Wednesday, September 21. Attendance was a bit off Friday due to heavy rains, but management reported a strong gate through the weekend.

Faith Elizabeth Hough: The (not so) good old days of research
I have fond memories of the days when “research” meant a trek to the library with an extra-durable bookbag over my shoulder... browsing through the reference section... getting distracted or inspired by related, but not quite pertinent titles along the row... coming home to sit down to a cup of tea, a notebook and pen, and a stack of knowledge. That's not to say I don't miss the old way. So, yesterday, when I needed to find a book on everyday life in eighteenth century Europe, I decided to resurrect a past way of life. The sky was the brightest of blues against the remaining orange and red leaves on the sugar maples; my daughters were in cheerful, singing moods; I was full of energy. After packing a four-year-old, two-year-old and four-month-old into their carseats, my energy had only dimmed slightly, and we set off for the library. All three of us who are currently verbal sang, “We're going to the library!” in a made-up...
