We are thrilled to know that the sculpture we bought last February in South Africa by artist, Dominique Zinkpè (Benin), is gaining worldwide popularity. A bronze version, of our wood sculpture, is being shown at the Armory Show in NYC. Okay, it’s not exactly alike but the style is undeniable Zinkpe. The gallery is Southern Guild Gallery in Cape Town. They have a new gallery in Los Angeles and other locations are being determined. We bought another piece from them as well that I will unveil later. Thank you @FountainheadArts.

Thank you Gail and Dawn

We are in love with this unusual but meaningful sculpture (7 inches by 7 inches) from Israeli artist Ruth Patir. It represents the millions of women who are alive today (me too) because mammography machines detect breast cancer. Eliot and I bought it from the Baverman Gallery, Tel Aviv (gallerist Adi Gura) when the world learned that Ruth Patir, who was the exclusive artist representing Israel at the 60th Venice Biennale, decided to keep the doors to the Israel pavilion shut until there was a Ceasefire and Hostage Release. Through our good friend Tami Katz-Freiman, (art curator, writer, lecturer, and collector) we were able to buy “Motherland” as a way to celebrate Patir for her selfless decision.
Patir made the decision together with the exhibition’s curators, Tamar Margalit and Mira Lapidot. We met Patir when she was a resident at Fountainhead Arts.
