 'GLIMMERINGS FROM THE EAST'.WORKS OF ART FROM INDIA, CHINA AND SOUTHEAST ASIA.An exhibition for sale at our London gallery - Thursday 7th to Friday 29th November 2002.We will hold a major exhibition of works of art from China, India and Southeast Asia during the Asian Art in London events, from 7th-29th November 2002. This year’s offerings place great emphasis upon the human form and encompass a wide range of media, epochs, countries and styles. We have gone to great lengths to acquire works of art for this year’s exhibition that are not only beautiful and important, but are also unusual examples of their type. The exhibition will include important sculptures from China and Cambodia, as well as two exquisite gold figures from Si Thep in Thailand and Pagan, Burma, which number among a handful of such images to have survived. Our taste for the unusual is to be found, once again, in a pair of wonderful Tangut guardians and in a section from an embroidered coat, embroidered so beautifully that some vain, pious Kashmiri prince surely must have owned it. Superb, smiling, serene Buddhas from Burma, Thailand and Laos, as well as from Tang and Song China, all feature in the exhibition, as does a group of seals from the very beginnings of Indian art- the Indus Valley civilization.Illustrated catalogue available on request.For more information, please visit our website- the exhibition will be online from early November. This year’s event will also coincide with the launch of Jonathan’s new book, ‘The Silk Road- Art and History’, to be published by Philip Wilson Ltd in November. This book, a complete history of the Silk Road with over 400 illustrations, is the result of seven years of travel and research to the remotest parts of the old trade routes between China and Europe. For more information please visit our website or e-mail Jonathan or Antonia.We both look forward to welcoming you to our gallery for this year’s exhibition and would be delighted to answer any questions you may have, either before or during the event. | |
