The Fall Salon: Icons Through the Ages Press Release

The Fall Salon:
ICONS THROUGH THE AGES
October 28 to December 12, 2020

Sélavy by Di Donna is pleased to present the Fall Salon: Icons through the Ages, featuring masterworks of art, design, and antiquities spanning from 2600 B.C. to 2000 A.D. This is the second presentation from Sélavy by Di Donna, a shoppable online salon of art and design with a storefront vitrine in Southampton. The Fall Salon is available to explore and purchase instantly online at selavy.com and in person at 30 Jobs Lane in Southampton from October 28 to December 12, 2020.

 

The current presentation embodies the spirit of Sélavy by Di Donna: a curated vignette that combines bluechip works across time periods, mediums, and cultures with modern design items. Styled as an inspiring interior, it exemplifies the eclectic vision of an imagined collector, juxtaposing ancient Greek and Roman statues with Surrealist, modern and contemporary paintings, prime examples of American and European mid-century modern design, and whimsical objets d’art from antiquity to some of the most influential artists of the past century. Prices range from $25,000 to over $5 million, with pricing and complete object information available online.

● Andy Warhol’s stunning 1979 portrait of Judy Garland (Price upon request)
