GOGOTTES: UNFOLDING TIME
This was the second exhibition at Eskenazi Ltd dedicated to these intriguing sandstone concretions discovered in the ancient sand dunes near Fontainebleau in northern France.
The contrast between their apparently soft and billowy appearance and their crisp, pure white surface is compelling, as is the desire to read forms, patterns and faces in each of the formations. This exhibition of gogottes at Eskenazi Ltd was notable for fine examples, some of extraordinary size and complexity.

CONTEMPORARY BAMBOO: MASTERS FROM JAPAN
The first exhibition at Eskenazi Ltd that was dedicated to Japanese contemporary works. Creations by eight Japanese bamboo artists - all of them masters in their own right - were the focus of this summer show.
The twenty-four works range from abstract sculptural creations to modern interpretations of the ikebana flower basket to grace a tea cermony. The strikingly inventive forms demonstrate how these masters have combined complex, traditional weaving skills with a modern, innovative vision.
