| As of May 20, 2013, the Pier Antiques Shows and the Armory Antique Show will be managed by U.S. Antique Shows, a division of George Little Management. |
Dear Antiques Dealer Friends, Clients and Press,
It is with a very real sense of gratitude and mixed emotions that we write to you to tell you that after 45 years of a great association with antiques dealers and the antiques events industry, Irene Stella wishes to retire and pursue with more attention some of her life's other interests.
In order for her to do so, we have undertaken a reorganization of Stella Show Mgmt. Co. that includes the sale of the three New York events, Antiques at the Armory and the March and November Pier Antiques Shows, to GLM.
Since good dealers and respected promoters are the heartbeat of antiques shows, and GLM’s U.S. Antique Shows (producer of The Original Miami Beach Antique Show® plus other highly respected events in the US) is considered the most competent and successful in the industry, we feel we are leaving our oldest and most favored events in the best of hands. This transfer of ownership will offer great opportunity for innovation, growth and success for the shows and the dealers selling at them.
We apologize that we could not make this announcement to all of you at the March Pier show but legalities prevented us from doing so. We hope you can understand.
If you applied for the November event, we want to assure you that all requests on that application and all deposits, records and booth preferences have been carefully transferred. You will be receiving communications shortly from GLM.
Stella Show Mgmt. Co. will continue to focus on more specialized, lifestyle events such as the Country Living Fairs, the Chicago Botanic Garden Antiques & Garden Fair and some other new and innovative events that are in the planning stages. The next generation of Stella's and Stella Show Mgmt. Co. look forward to continuing to produce events that are new and different and honor Stella Show's mission of producing well organized, cleverly conceived, deftly executed events that bring together buyers and sellers as few others do.
“Words can't express the extreme admiration I have always had and still feel for the hard work, knowledge and camaraderie of antiques dealers and the love and appreciation I feel for all their faith in Stella Show events over the past 45 years and the great people, characters and amazing friendships this business brought to my life,” commented Irene Stella.
We wish all the dealers and GLM’s U.S. Antique Shows a great show in November and continued great sales and attendances in all the New York shows for many years to come.
With much gratitude to all who receive this,
Sincerely,
Irene Stella and
Jeanne Stella, Dotti and Mike Stella
and Michele Oswald, Nancy Huffman and Lynn Muckerman
