Antiques Week in New York 2012Antiques Week in New York, also known as Americana Week, has begun and runs through January 29. Browse the auctions, shows, and events in ARTFIXdaily's slideshow. Another draw this week in New York is the opening of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's New American Wing Galleries for Paintings, Sculpture and Decorative Arts, with 600 artworks displayed in 26 freshly-designed galleries. Bolstered by a $2 million pledge from a trustee, the American Museum of Folk Art on Tuesday unveiled a new exhibit, 'Jubilation/Rumination,' featuring works from its permanent collection in the refurbished Lincoln Square space.
Sotheby's Americana sales feature furniture, folk art, silver, porcelain, prints and carpets, from January 20 – 21, including needlework from the collection of Betty Ring and this Ammi Phillips portrait ($300,000-500,000).
