Art + Auction "Beach Bound" Spotlights Macklowe Gallery in Palm Beach

The American International Fine Art Fair
Palm Beach County Convention Center
February 3 – 8

A few weeks later, the American International Fine Art Fair takes over. Now in its 14th year, the event attracts a well-heeled international crowd with treasures that span time and space, from ancient objects and European antiques to modern and contemporary artworks. "It’s probably the best and most beautiful fair in South Florida," says Lloyd Macklowe, of New York’s Macklowe Gallery, which is bringing a stunning flower brooch, created in the 1950s by Pierre Sterle. MS Rau Antiques, of New Orleans, has a charming 1916-17 bronze bust by Pierre-Auguste Renoir of his wife, Aline, while the American-art specialist Hollis Taggart Galleries, of New York, is showing 19th- and 20th-century work, including Delphic Shibboleth (1959), a moody oil by Theodoros Stamos, one of the original Abstract Expressionists.
