'GLIMMERINGS FROM THE EAST' Exhibition
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 are delighted to present the catalogue for this year’s exhibition, to be held at our gallery from the 7th-29th November 2002 as part of the Asian Art in London events.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. Our two magnificent Northern Qi sculptures, for example, will strike a chord with anyone who visited and marvelled at the recent Royal Academy exhibition of sculptures from Qingzhou. The monumental Khmer, eight-armed ‘radiating’ Avalokitesvara in the exhibition is one of only a dozen or so examples of its type and the two exquisite gold figures from Si Thep and Pagan number among a handful of such images to have survived. Our taste for the unusual is to be found, once again, in the pair of wonderful Tangut guardians and in the 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 figure in the exhibition, as does a group of seals from the very beginnings of Indian art- the Indus Valley civilization. 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.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.

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.

'RADIANCE FROM THE EAST' Exhibition'RADIANCE FROM THE EAST' Exhibition
RADIANCE FROM THE EAST.WORKS OF ART FROM INDIA, CHINA AND SOUTHEAST ASIA.We are delighted to present the catalogue for this year’s exhibition, to be held at our gallery from the 6th-28th November 2003 as part of the Asian Art in London events.With the exception of a wonderful Canton enamel dish, this year’s offerings are all sculptures. As with our previous exhibitions they encompass a wide range of epochs, countries and styles and are unique examples of their type. We are fortunate to have two more outstanding examples of the Qingzhou school of Chinese sculptures, one from the Eastern Wei and the other from the Northern Qi period. The former, an astonishingly beautiful standing Buddha from a dynasty that lasted only sixteen years, numbers among only a handful of such pieces to have survived. Gandhara sculpture from the Kushan kingdom is highly prized by collectors and we have two examples this year, both Buddhas with one from the twilight years of the era when the monastery site at Fondukistan was one of the last centres of creativity. Other highlights are a sleek, imperious Shiva head from medieval India and an exceptionally elegant standing Buddha from Laos. We both look forward to welcoming 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.
