Ah, the good old days, when Stella Show Management's Pier Antiques Show was the TRIPLE Pier Antiques Show. Things were so hopping, the show was held on two weekends in a row. Two weekends, three piers–hey, that's six piers, really.
Well, it's smaller now. One weekend, one pier (Pier 94). This year they're trying a pink tag sale, where dealers will hang a pink tag on items cheaper than $300. I'll be curious to see how this plays out. I can imagine that in a booth with very high-priced items, one or two tagged items might lure in the faint-hearted. But what about a booth with a number of collectibles priced under $300. Will it look silly? Desperate? Or merely affordable?
Also up this weekend, in time for Asian Arts Week, the International Asian Art Fair at the Park Avenue Armory. Check the Shows+Fairs page for details.
