CINCINNATI: The new, state-of-the-art East West Exhibit Hall at the Sharonville Convention Center will host the 18th annual 20th Century Cincinnati modern design retrospective on the weekend of February 25 & 26, 2012. Attendance at the annual show and sale has doubled in the past ten years, so the event is perfectly poised to take advantage of the new facility's enlarged exhibit space. Patrons will now be treated to even more variety from a greater number of vendors: nearly sixty dealers from ten states will fill the hall with classic modernist forms – many from the century's foremost designers.
20th Century Cincinnati celebrates the avant garde art, furnishings, architecture and fashions of the 1920's through 1970's. Formally defined as “modern” by academics in the early 1900's , these innovative design trends came to include the styles that characterized the century: Art Deco, Streamline, Machine Age, Futuristic, Mid-Century Modern and the Op Art/Pop Art eras.
20th Century Cincinnati's reputation is firmly rooted in a fantastic selection of authentic vintage furniture and lighting. Show exhibitors also offer period decorative accessories such as paintings, sculptures, posters, art glass, pottery, dinnerware and textiles. Several top-shelf jewelry and apparel dealers contribute an important fashion element to the mix. Fun and funky pop culture memorabilia is icing on the cake. This show is playful, but can also be a serious study of the era's most important designers and architects. 20th Century Cincinnati dealers offer variety intended to fit every budget. All merchandise is guaranteed as represented by the seller.
20th Century Cincinnatiwill present Beyond Bakelite – Designs in Early Plastic for its 2012 Special Exhibit The exhibit takes a collector's view at the discovery and use of synthetic plastics in the first half of the century. From plain beginnings as a hard, dark material intended for industrial applications, plastics had evolved by the 1930's into a rich and colorful substance found in a variety of consumer items. By the end of WW II, a skeptical American public had totally embraced the new material – helping plastic become a symbol of Modern life. Today's collectors most often concentrate on either the flamboyantly carved and inlaid “Bakelite” jewelry; or, focus on the elaborately molded and colorful “Catalin” radios. Beyond Bakelite will feature both of these categories and more: uncommon objects including furnishings, household objects, and fashion accessories.
A two-hour show preview will kick-off 20th Century Cincinnati activities at 9:00 a.m. Saturday. Preview admission is $20 in advance and $25 at the door. Preview passes include the exclusive shopping period, open light breakfast bar and a full-weekend pass. Advanced tickets are available by mail, phone or by link at the event's website.

The Modern Show, Stella Show Mgmt. Co.'s successful 20th century art & design event, has found a new home in Manhattan. Featuring 70 exhibitors, The Modern Show will take place Friday, Saturday & Sunday, October 16, 17 & 18, offering customers unique, trend-setting art, furnishings, silver, glass and jewelry from the Art Deco period thru the 1980's.
Held every fall, this year the show will take place in 7 W New York, a new venue at 7 West 34th Street, just off Fifth Avenue, opposite the Empire State Building. The building features many floors of showrooms with home accents and decorative accessories. 7 W New York is operated by Merchandise Mart Properties, Inc. who now also manage Piers 92/94 on the Hudson River.
“We are very excited about this new opportunity, and so are our exhibitors” says Dorothy Stella, President of Stella Show Mgmt. Co. “When we were told the 69th Regiment Armory is not available to us in October because of a major military drill, we knew we had to find a new home for The Modern Show. We have been talking with MMPI about having shows at 7 W New York for awhile; we feel the midtown venue will work well for this show. We are confident The Modern Show customers will find it easy to get to and very comfortable to shop.”
Located in the heart of Manhattan, 7 W New York is across from the Empire State Building, down the street from Macy's and within walking distance of dozens of restaurants and stores, subway stations and Penn Station.
This international fair presents the cream of specialists in 20th century and contemporary furniture, sculpture, jewellery, photography, painting, carpets and textiles, ceramics and glass.
With the proliferation of so many international fairs, both in New York and around the globe, it is uniquely positioned at the epicentre of the most influential and dynamic design happening today. Since founded in 1999, the fair has become one of the world's premier showcases for art and design from 1900 to the present, with its prime location on New York's Upper East Side, enabling it to establish itself, in a relatively short time, as “the” platform in New York City for design dealers and for some of the hottest international galleries on the scene today. As such it has also become a compelling attraction for the growing band of 20th century and contemporary collectors worldwide.
Exhibiting dealers from all over the world, including the United States and Europe consistently present an inspiring and exciting selection of works of art. Extraordinary 20th century classic and vintage pieces, alongside stunning contemporary works of art and design, are offered for sale to connoisseurs, collectors, curators, decorators and members of the visiting public.
