The 2011 San Francisco Fall Antiques Show is a spectacular event that benefits Enterprise for High School Students. For anyone who loves Antiques, Art, Interior Design and beautiful things in general, this is the San Francisco event of the year. The show consistently showcases the top international exhibitors vetted by some of the most discerning eyes for quality in the world.
As we have moved from the Age of Industry to the Digital Age, one can’t help but imagine a new generation of computer savvy collectors honing their vision of a new eclectic home environment that can include Antiques. corePLATINUM is aware of a transition of spending power in this new market place that is very different from previous generations. The new collector may want to integrate 18th Century French, 20th Century American and recognize how modern Art can all fit into a more casual eclectic lifestyle.
The 2011 San Francisco Fall Antiques Show was an opportunity for corePLATINUM to curate this new point of view that shows Antiques collecting is not limited to only formal environments, however, there is a need for more education on value, potential for integration into modern living and the opportunity for personal expression. In the Age of the Social Enterprise, this could be an opportunity for the beginning of the New Antiques Collecting coupled with “Learning & Conversation.”
