The Art and Antique Dealers League of America have announced plans for a new ‘Spring Show,’ at the Park Avenue Armory. The event, which will include fine and decorative arts and antiques, will run April 28 to May 2, 2011.

From 2002 to 2005 the league held a fair at the Lexington Armory on 26th Street. New York based furniture dealer and AADLA president Clinton Howell said the group was determined to re-locate uptown, calling the Lex location “a tough draw,” and “a difficult spot for a high-end show.”

Seventy-five percent of the fair’s booths are booked, and participants include Kentshire Galleries, Hyde Park Antiques, George Subkoff Antiques, Jack Kilgore and Company, Dalva Brothers, Arnold Lieberman and others.

The Art and Antique Dealers League of America is the oldest antiques and fine arts organization in America. It began as the Antiques Dealers Luncheon Club in 1926. In 1946, the name was changed to the Art and Antique Dealers League of America and today represents over 110 members in 60 fields of expertise.
