Back from New York

got back last night from the New York Shows. Although we certainly didn't make everything, here is my report from the two Stella shows and The American Antique Show. I guess I would sum it up with the phrase "cautious optimism". Good crowds and enough sold tags to make the overall consensus that it was an improvement from last year. Still fairly spotty as far as the consistency of results- one dealer doing great next to another who was struggling. But the number of expensive items with sold tags was noticable. A few pictures tomorrow and off to the AFC championship later today.
