ENJOY HOLIDAY SHOPPING WITH

OUR NEW PRICES ON ALL NON-HAITIAN PIECES

 

                After a successful run with our pop-up gallery in July and August where we had all our non-Haitian pieces at steeply discounted prices, we are finally getting around to posting the discounted prices of the remaining unsold pieces on our website. Even though we sold a lot of work in the pop-up, we still have a lot of wonderful work available for sale. We will be consolidating the non-Haitian galleries on the site over the next coming weeks and deleting much of the "sold" work, so please bear with us. Below are photos of a few of the gems that are left. Clicking on a photo will take you to the individual page where the piece is posted.

                As we are cleaning out our locker, we are also finding a number of African pieces that have never been on our site. We will be adding them to the site and will let you know in later newsletters when we post them with their discounted prices.

                We are always happy to layaway anything that is $100 or more. Call or email us for details. Happy holiday shopping.

GOURGUE PAINTING AVAILABLE

 

       Our friends at Galeria Lasirena have added a painting by Jacques-Enguerrand Gourgue to their gallery on our site. http://www.ridgeart.com/HaitianPaintingsGaleriaLasirena.html.  It was purchased from Nader Gallery in the 70's and in an email Georges Nader confirmed that it was painted in the 60's. Galeria Lasirena acquired it in Tucson from a friend who had bought up an entire family room decorated in the style of the 60's and 70's and the painting was one of the objects in the room. It is in the original frame and is in excellent condition. You may view the painting by clicking on the image below.
