The New Antiquarians: At Home with Young Collectors - Michael Diaz-GriffithAn inspiring compendium of idiosyncratic interiors assembled around eclectic collections of objects with life and history The once rarefied world of antiques is bursting open thanks to a new generation of collectors. The New Antiquarians features twenty-two young connoisseurs whose spirited interiors exemplify unorthodox approaches to living with history. Hailing from across the United States and Britain, they brazenly blend the old with the new, embrace anachronism and pastiche, employ serious knowledge with humor and wit, and consider vintage and historical objects through the lens of contemporary values. The New Antiquarians is an exuberant entry point into the world of antiques, highlighting one-of-a-kind collections and the single-minded collectors whose stories suggest compelling new ways of living with the past. Collectors whose homes are featured include: Jared Austin; Emily Adams Bode Aujla and Aaron Singh Aujla; Pablo Bronstein; Collier Calandruccio; Adam Charlap Hyman; Emily Eerdmans; Jared Frank; Andrew LaMar Hopkins; Kyle Marshall; Sean McNanney and Sinan Tuncay; Avril Nolan and Quy Nguyen; Camille Okhio; Jeremy K. Simien; Abel Sloane and Ruby Woodhouse; Samuel Snider; Alex Tieghi-Walker; and Giancarlo Valle and Jane Keltner de Valle. Review ‘In his latest book, author Michael Diaz-Griffith brilliantly describes and illustrates what antiquing looks like in contemporary settings.’ – Town & Country ‘For those who suspect Millennials and Gen Z are thumbing their noses at antiques, this book counters the narrative with 22 youthful collectors who ferret out gems for their highly eclectic homes.’ – House & Home ‘A lavishly illustrated exploration of 17 homes of collectors who bring the material culture of the past into their living spaces in strikingly experimental, unexpected, and at times undeniably fun new ways.’ – Artnet News 'Art-world leader and designer Michael Diaz-Griffith takes us into the exuberant homes of young collectors. . . a best new design book of spring.' – Veranda ‘Defines this new era of eclectic connoisseurship through 17 home tours.’ – Curbed ‘Paradoxically, at its heart, this volume is a celebration of the intangible ‘thinginess’ of things; their physicality as significant as their cerebral associations. And thanks to the author’s thoughtful synthesis, it serves as an eloquent counterblast to all those who see collecting as irrelevant and outmoded.’ – The World of Interiors ‘The New Antiquarians serves as a captivating gateway of antiques, casting a spotlight on extraordinary collections and the unwavering devotion of their passionate collectors.’– The Glam Pad ‘An inspiring, irreverent compendium of the homes of a spirited group of 17 rising stars collecting antiques, historical objects, vintage clothing, and more. . . In the book Diaz-Griffith opens the doors not only these incredibly picturesque living spaces but also, via the diverse group featured, to the larger, once staid world of antiques.’– Palmer Magazine About the Author Michael Diaz-Griffith is a writer, designer, art-world leader, and Executive Director of the Design Leadership Network.
