Galerie magazine has selected 12 standout works of art and design at the 2026 edition of TEFAF New York, held at the Park Avenue Armory. The fair follows a banner year at TEFAF Maastricht. Highlights include Giorgio de Chirico's 'Piazza d’Italia con piedistallo vuoto' (1955) at Tornabuoni Art, Hemmerle earrings with tourmalines set in magnesite and hematite, a monumental 'Moorish Turtleback' Chandelier (1900) by Tiffany Glass and Decorating Company at Macklowe Gallery, Gerrit Rietveld's 'Red Blue Chair' (early 1920s) at Friedman Benda, Leonora Carrington's 'El Gato' (1951) at Leonor Tovar Gallery, Sheila Hicks' 'Untitled' (1981) at Demisch Danant, Camilla Moberg's 'Green Treasure II' (2025) at Galerie Maria Wettergren, Seizō Sugawara's 'The Ardent Armchair' (c. 1915) at Galerie Marcilhac, David Hockney's 'Dancers with Audience and Orchestra' (2025) at Annely Juda Fine Art, Barbara Hepworth's 'Idol' (1971) at Piano Nobile, and Cecily Brown's 'Functor Hideaway' at Berggruen Gallery. The chandelier is noted for its scale and blend of Byzantine, Venetian, and American influences. The Rietveld chair is described as a cornerstone of design history, rarely seen outside museums. Hockney's work nods to Matisse's 'La Danse'.
