Forbes Salon Art + Design's Opening Night Sees Record Attendance, Brisk Sales

Over 2,000 visitors flooded Salon Art + Design's opening night on Thursday evening at the Armory. The salon's 12th edition saw some changes, with many new exhibitors and a more contemporary bent. The opening night cocktail was a benefit for the Dia Art Foundation, co-chaired by Nathalie & Laura de Gunzburg. Committee members for the evening included Paul Arnhold, Guillaume Coutheillas, Beth Rudin DeWoody, Christina Ohly Evans, Linda Fargo, Dennis Freedman, Wendy Goodman, Gabriel Hendifar, Julie Hillman, Colin King, Jeff Klein, Carlos Mota, David Netto, Dr. Daniella Ohad, Suchi Reddy, and Lizzie Tisch.

There were many striking pieces at various booths, including a 2012 Zaha Hadid dining table at David Gill, an art installation at Halcyon by Dominic Harris that updates every minute according to what is being searched on Google, and a Carlo Bugatti table at Guy Regal.
