 ‘IRIDESCENCE FROM THE EAST’: An Exhibition of mainly Buddhist art from Southeast Asia, India and China.We are delighted to present the catalogue for this year’s exhibition, to be held at our gallery from the 2nd - 24th November 2006 as part of this year’s Asian Art in London events. It will include a large, varied and eclectic selection of mainly Buddhist sculpture and other works of art from Southeast Asia, India and China. We are offering more than fifty works of art, mainly sculptures, with our usual emphasis on the rare, the dramatic and the unusual. The highlights of this year’s offerings are a superb bronze head of Buddha Sakyamuni from Thailand’s early Ayutthaya period, an exquisite bronze bust, also of Buddha, from the same country’s late Sukhothai period, a remarkable group of wooden Buddhas of various types from 19th century Laos and a serene, smiling sandstone Buddha head from Pegu, Burma. We also have a pair of Nats (nature spirits) from Burma, a fabulous 18th century export coverlet and two Song dynasty terracotta boys from China, a Tang dynasty earth spirit and two, breathtakingly beautiful carved pillars from a Chettinad mansion in South India. We both look forward to welcoming you to our gallery once again for this year’s exhibition and would be delighted to answer any questions you may have, either before or during the event.For further information please telephone Jonathan Tucker or Antonia Tozer on 020 7839 3414, e-mail jonathantucker1@aol.com or antoniatozer@aol.com | |
