Yellow and orange roses at Van Doren Waxter
Last year there was much talk about what kind of desks and chairs dealers used at the Armory. This year, we note the use of floral arrangements at the ADAA mainly for its ubiquity. I took shots of the flower arrangements in just one aisle at the ADAA and came up with more than enough images for a slide show. I should have shot more.
At least then, we could do a more serious investigation into what these choices tell us about the dealers. As it stands now, we must offer a superficial examination of flowers and what they mean to dealers. Our answers so far: dealers like to color co-ordinate. Predictably, white flowers (for the white cube) is a popular choice.

White and green at Richard Feigen Gallery
White and more white at Tibor de Nagy
Yellow was the color of choice at Donald Morris
Same with Janet Borden
and June Kelly
Choosing a more wintery palette, Manny Silvermann went with purples and reds.

The ADAA sets the tone with its own flowers

It would be rather fitting if all the arrangements consisted of tulips
“you know what’s better than roses on a piano? tulips on an organ” Come on Armory floral arrangements! Sex it up a little with your choices!
only art can break your heart, but only kitsch can make you rich
