On Saturday I attended the international Sculptural Objects and Functional Art show in NYC (SOFA NY). The show, considered to be one of the world’s foremost fairs for contemporary decorative arts and design, did not disappoint.

If you go to only one show a year, this is the one to attend. For artists, art students and art educators, if you want to make excellent art it is imperative to have exposure to excellent work. The works presented at SOFA NY are spectacular examples of contemporary fine craft, art and design. Not in the NY area? Maybe you can attend SOFA Chicago or SOFA Santa Fe.

The show enjoyed record attendance, with more than 18,000 collectors, curators, architects, designers and enthusiasts walking the show floor over four days to see offerings presented by 58 galleries. See what collectors were buying here.

It was wildly satisfying for me to see so many of the pieces previously featured on DAM – in person, in one place, in one day. I had a visceral reaction to a few and I will tell you more about that in another post. The images above and list below are a few of the artists previously featured on Daily Art Muse who had work in the 2010 SOFA NY show. Stay tuned for future posts featuring artists that you have not seen yet on DAM.
