The Spring Show NYC is a vetted show-every item in each booth is examined by panels of experts for authenticity. The panels also ensure that comprehensive, accurate labeling is attached to every piece. Vetted shows are the standard for all quality art and antiques fairs.

Sponsored by 1stdibs.com, the premier online marketplace for purveyors for luxury goods, and the Manhattan Art and Antique Center, the Preview will benefit the ASPCA® (The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals). This year’s Honorary Co-chairs include Amy Fine Collins, Somers and Jonathan Farkas and Carolyne Roehm.
