On the occasion of the 69th Winter Show, which will be held at the historic Park Avenue Armory from in New York from 20 to 29 January, Steinitz will present furniture and objects of exceptional aesthetics, provenance, and rarity.
The Winter Show, America’s premier art, antiques and design fair, was founded in the mid-1950s and features a wide range of fine and decorative arts professionals. An array of works – paintings, works on paper, fine furniture, design, jewellery, ceramics and contemporary glass – spanning almost 5,000 years will be presented by over sixty-five internationally renowned dealers. Renowned for its rigorous selection by a committee of 120 experts, the event invites exhibitors to propose works that meet the highest standards of authenticity and quality.
For its return to the Winter Show, the Steinitz Gallery will present some of its most emblematic pieces. On its stand, enthusiasts will discover a series of imperial portraits of Tokugawa, the last shogun of Japan. This exceptional series of six portraits painted on silk was executed in Japan at the beginning of the Meiji era. Yoshinobu Tokugawa was the last princely figure to hold this supreme office, before its abolition was decided by the Emperor during the Meiji Restoration in 1868.
