Galerie Jacques Lacoste makes its debut at the TEFAF New York fair presenting a living room stand with a selection of furniture and art pieces from the 20th century. Jacques Lacoste is a grandson of a famous tennis player known as The Crocodile, René Lacoste. His father, Bernard Lacoste, made the company into a billion-dollar enterprise. Jacques Lacoste ventured into something different. In 1986, he founded the eponymous gallery in Paris. The gallery is a well-known specialist in decorative arts of the 20th century. Monsieur Lacoste gives his highlights of the featured works in the stand. Among them are Mae West sofa by Salvador Dalí, several works by the Giacometti brothers, sculptures by Joan Miró and Ossip Zadkine, and lacquered panels by Jean Dunand. New York, NY May 10, 2024

Macklowe Gallery at the Palm Beach Jewelry, Art & Antique Show 2019
The revamped Macklowe Gallery, New York, NY, has something new this season besides the new Park Avenue address (they moved from Madison Avenue). In addition to the three pillars that the gallery is known for -- French Art Nouveau furniture and decorative arts, the works of Louis Comfort Tiffany Studios, and antique and estate jewelry -- Benjamin Macklowe, the second generation art dealer, is bringing a contemporary jeweler from India, Neha Dani. Exquisite pieces evoke autumnal colors of dry leaves, branches and petals. This is Macklowe's 15th time at the show and he says "we're really enjoying the process of enhancing their [Palm Beachers] collections." February 18, 2019
