The discerning collector will have marked his calendar for some exciting events taking place in New York City this November. First, Salon Art + Design New York 2025, set at the elegant Park Avenue Armory and just a few minutes’ walk from Invisible Collection’s gallery on the Upper East Side. The fair runs 6–10 November 2025, presenting itself less as a conventional art fair and more as a carefully curated environment in which vintage, modern, and contemporary design meet blue-chip 20th-century art under one roof. Wandering through its halls, one will sense the fair’s claim that today’s collectors, designers, and galleries shape environments rather than simply offering objects for sale. Visitors will move from sleek mid-century lines to intriguing shapes and bespoke design, alongside paintings and sculptures that bridge fine-art ambition with decorative chutzpah. Fairgoers will appreciate the Preview Night on Thursday and VIP hours on Friday; then the doors remain open through the weekend and Monday afternoon. Four days in New York when “art meets interior” meets “design as collectible.”
Speaking of collectible design, our gallery on the Upper East Side opens with a new exhibition, “All About E.” The first solo show of Charlotte Biltgen in the U.S., it is a rare opportunity to discover one of the most exciting French designers of her generation, as she reinterprets Art Deco tenets in her own ultra-contemporary style. More about the opening and the exclusive Ettore collection soon. In the meantime, you might like to discover Charlotte’s home on the Seine in this exclusive video. On the auction front, Phillips in New York, in addition to its modern and contemporary art sales, has announced an upcoming Evening Sale titled “Modern & Contemporary Art Evening Sale featuring CERA the Triceratops.” The programme hints at a curious hybrid: contemporary art plus a natural-history specimen of striking scale (the juvenile Triceratops skeleton). In a recent Financial Times interview, the auction house’s CEO flagged November as a time when Phillips will lean into “pieces of natural history alongside its modern and contemporary art sales.” This, no doubt, will draw a strong mix of art-world players and obsessive collectors eager to see in person, and bid for, “Cera,” the first full juvenile Triceratops ever discovered and the first Triceratops specimen of any kind to be offered at auction in the United States in over a decade. Estimated at $2.5–3.5 million, the 66-million-year-old skeleton from the Late Cretaceous period will be the topic of many conversations in the VIP salon at Phillips, appointed for the occasion with a curation of furniture pieces from Invisible Collection. Before and after the hammer falls, guests will enjoy the comfort and beauty of collectible designs created by our star designers.
