11TH ANNUAL LOS ANGELES ANTIQUES SHOW

OPENING NIGHT GALA –

A Benefit for Women’s Guild of Cedars-Sinai Medical Center

Santa Monica, CA; April 27, 2006 – Tonight, for the 11th consecutive year, the Women’s Guild of Cedars-Sinai Medical Center mounts their stunning Los Angeles Antiques Show Opening Night Gala.  The event returns to Barker Hangar at the Santa Monica Air Center with a fabulous evening featuring a cocktail reception and delicious hors d’oeuvres and supper.  The evening supports patient care, medical programs and equipment, biomedical research and education projects focusing on women’s health issues at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.

Since 1957, Women’s Guild of Cedars-Sinai has raised more than $17 million for projects at the Medical Center, including the Women’s Guild Chair in Women’s Health, held by C. Noel Bairey Merz, MD, the Saul and Joyce Brandman Breast Center – A Project of Women’s Guild, the AIDS and Immune Disorders Center, and the Women’s Guild Hospice Program.

At the Opening Night Gala guests have the unique opportunity to be among the first to peruse the fine antiques and treasures offered at the LA Antiques Show from over 70 dealers from the U.S. and abroad.  The Gala and the LA Antiques Show itself are attended by hundreds of celebrities and leaders from the film industry and Los Angeles business community and is considered a “must” for collectors and their decorators.

For the first time ever, visitors to the Los Angeles Antiques Show will enter the show through a loan exhibit, titled 17th/18th/19th/20th Historically Important Chairs from Private Collections. The exhibit of eleven groupings of chairs is curated by Ray Azoulay, of Obsolete, a Venice California gallery, who brings to a sharp focus on engaging design and objects of unusual character intended to created an inspirational entrance that articulates the history of an everyday historical object as function, design as art.

 

The Antiques Dealers Association of California (ADAC) organizes the LA Antiques Show, which will run from Friday, April 28 – Sunday, April 30.  The works sold range in price from a few hundred to a few million dollars.  Treasures carried out of the show in recent years include paintings by Sargent, Picasso and Hassam; jewelry by Tiffany, Cartier and Van Cleef & Arpels; furniture by Chippendale, Stickley and Wright; silver by Jensen and Knox.  A complimentary lecture series underwritten by the Kotick Family Foundation is presented at the show each day at  Event sponsors are Belvedere Vodka, California Homes, Gelson’s Market, Northern Trust Bank, Angeleno Magazine, and Shapell Industries.
