Seventh Regiment Armory

I was fortunate enough to attend opening night at The Salon Art + Design show at the Seventh Regiment Armory. It’s hard to imagine that this magnificent landmark was slated for demolition several years ago. It was a perfect venue for the 55 galleries built for the event. I most enjoyed the furniture pieces and some of the Japanese ceramics. The show didn’t feature ancient antiques, but objects and furnishings that could populate a contemporary home. It’s definitely worth seeing. Opening night was especially enjoyable because there was abundant champagne and Pinot Grigio. It was also great to see the crowd. Some really great fashion statements. In fact, I think I enjoyed looking at the people more than the exhibition.
