The Winter Show is the longest-running fair in America devoted to fine art, antiques, and design. Since it began in 1954, the Show has been the annual benefit for East Side House Settlement, a community-based organization serving the Bronx and Northern Manhattan. Along with its important fundraising mission, the Show has become a highlight event of New York City’s social calendar.
The Winter Show brought over 70 exhibitors together for the 2025 fair, presenting a wide variety of works ranging from paintings, sculpture, and works on paper to fine furniture, jewelry, silver, rare books, and contemporary ceramics and glass.
As always, the Show maintains the most exacting standards of quality in the art market, and all objects are rigorously vetted for authenticity and condition. Each work on display at the Show undergoes a thorough examination by over 120 specialists across 30 disciplines to assess its authenticity, quality, and value.
This process typically includes verifying the piece’s provenance, evaluating its condition, and determining its historical and artistic significance. The goal of the vetting process is not only to set an example of excellence in standards but also to provide an authoritative transparency to collectors and clients.
All revenue from the fair’s general admissions and the net proceeds from the Opening Night Party and other special events benefit East Side House Settlement and contribute substantially to its community programming.
Daniel Crouch Rare Books from London exhibited a selection from the world’s largest collection of playing cards, held by the French artist Jean Verame; the display includes a deck from the 12th century, uncut sheets of cards from 1480, and a transparent Surrealist deck of cards.

Since its inception in 1922, The Magazine ANTIQUES has been America’s premier publication on the fine and decorative arts, architecture, preservation, and interior design. Each bimonthly issue includes regular columns on current exhibitions, personalities in the field, notes on collecting, book reviews, and more.
Helen Allen tells NYC VIBE that next year’s Winter Show will build on the success of this year with record attendance and the most offering of diverse art ever.
