Only in its forth year, the 2011 SF20/21, held at the Festival Pavilion at Fort Mason, has had a big impact on the modern design scene, and it has continued to grow its repertoire.
Sponsored by Gucci and Christies this year, the San Francisco Art and Design Show & Sale expanded its 21POP Atelier, the collection of pop-up shops curated by Stanlee Gatti, which showcased more contemporary and cutting-edge designers, artists and artisans. This year’s selection included Anandamayi Arnold, Matt Dick, Angelina DeAntonis, Wendy MacNaughton, The Popular Workshop and Town Cutler.

From furniture, lighting, jewelry, and objets d’art to paintings and photography, once again the show had it all. This year many more contemporary designers and artist were in the mix. Wunderkind David Wiseman was at hand at R20th Century, showing some of his latest creations in glass, bronze and porcelain.
Silverman Gallery exhibited an international range of current artists, such as Canadian multi-media artist Scott Treleaven, local conceptual artist Ginger Wolfe-Suarez, California photographer and sculptor Matt Lips, and Argentine multi-media artist Lucas Michael. Interior and furniture designer Charles de Lisle introduced his collection of furniture and lighting to a larger audience, and Antoinette Faragallah captivated with her ceramic pieces at Gray Gallery.
