Established over 30 years ago by Bob Smith, Dolphin Promotions is currently owned and operated by Rosemary Krieger. With over 25 years of industry experience, Rosemary is assisted by her media director, Gordon Merkle and her executive assistant, Charlie Walter, both with 16 years of experience. The combined expertise of this team is instrumental in the success of the company and the shows they produce.
Dolphin currently produces 10 shows annually in the Midwest, South Florida, New York and California. All shows are distinguished by the solid reputation of the participating dealers, and the diversity of the high quality merchandise. Major shows in Miami, Chicago, Fort Lauderdale, Los Angeles and Palm Beach rank among the finest quality antiques shows in their region and attract many local, national and international exhibitors and collectors. These shows offer a wide range of antiques and are very well attended.
Beginning in 2000, Dolphin introduced its first 20th century show, Palm Springs Modernism. Since then, Dolphin has expanded its modernism schedule to include Los Angeles Modernism and in 2008 introduced SF20: the San Francisco 20th Century Art & Design Fair. Our newest production NYC20, the New York 20th Century Art & Design Fair is set to debut at the Tent at Lincoln Center in New York in April of 2012.
A solid reputation and creative and innovative shows continue to make Dolphin Promotions antiques and modernism shows successful both with exhibitors, collectors and the design community worldwide.
