A Specific Eye: Seven Collections
Demisch Danant is pleased to announce A Specific Eye: Seven Collections, an exhibition of seven personal collections of aesthetic objects on loan from celebrated New York connoisseurs who are members of the gallery鈥檚 extended circle: artists Bob Gober and Donald Moffett; photographer Fran莽ois Halard; Frank Maresca, noted expert in the fields of Self-Taught Art and Outsider Art; artists Huma Bhabha and Jason Fox; gallerist Jason Jacques, preeminent purveyor of 19th and early 20th century European Ceramics; artist Ugo Rondinone; and the late photographer Saul Leiter. Objects on view range from Art Nouveau ceramics and anonymous wooden masks from the late 19th century, to contemporary photographs and paintings.
These collections will be set within an environment of exceptional French furniture and lighting of the 1970s in juxtapositions that evoke the decade when classic and modern tastes famously merged in French interior design. The vibrant eclecticism that emerged in the 70s in Paris, continues to exert enormous influence in design today. A Specific Eye will explore the ways in which such juxtapositions provoke the senses and the intellect alike, bringing meaning to the spaces objects inhabit.
