THE SAN FRANCISCO FALL ART & ANTIQUES SHOW, OCTOBER 11-14, 2018

The 2018 San Francisco Fall Art & Antiques Show (http://www.sffas.org), the annual benefit for Enterprise for Youth, will take place from Thursday, October 11 through Sunday, October 14 at Fort Mason Center for Arts & Culture’s Festival Pavilion. The always fabulous Opening Night Preview Gala will open the Show on October 10.

This year’s show theme is The Sun, The Moon, & The Stars: Celestial Imagery in Art, Antiques, & Design. Depicted by nearly every culture throughout time, celestial bodies hold mystery, splendor, and symbolism. Glittering, glowing, and geometrically powerful, celestial objects have been popular motifs in art, antiques, design, and literature for centuries. Stars and constellations were named in ancient times for gods and animals they resembled. The sun is regarded as a symbol of life, power, and rebirth; the phases of the moon symbolize immortality, eternity, and purity; stars may represent the knowledge of good and truth, inspiration, imagination, dreams, and divine guidance. The sky humbles us and the celestial elements we see from earth have long been inspiration to artists and artisans.

The 37th edition of the Show will feature over fifty dealers from around the world, offering for sale an extraordinary range of fine and decorative arts representing all styles and periods including American, English, Continental, and Asian furniture and decorative objects, paintings, prints, photographs, books, gold, silver and precious metals, jewelry, rugs, textiles, and ceramics. Dealers are invited to bring pieces from antiquity to present day. The Show also features a popular Lecture Series, Cocktail Hour Talks, and other programming.

Show Chair, Suzanne Tucker puts it this way: “For anyone interested in art and design, furniture and the decorative arts—buying, collecting, or simply learning about art and antiques—this show is not to be missed. It’s a Bay Area ‘Must Do’ of the fall social season with four wonder­ful, vibrant days filled with terrific dealers, fascinating lectures, and gobs of eye candy.”
