High Five: Decorative & Fine Arts Sourcing
The oil on canvas is by Hong Viet Dung who is well known for his intensely serene artwork. I was drawn to Path to Tranquility for that very reason. The scene is dreamy and has this certain bewitching quality about it. www.artnet.com/judithday.htmlPath to Tranquility
So Chic!Contemporary round stool Pieds de Bouc with bronze legs by Marc Bankowsky, France 2010.The historical reference to Greek mythology brings this stool en par with the other antiquities selected for this post. Plus it is a fresh and witty way to live up any type of design disciplines.Maison GerardPhoto courtesy 1stdibs.com
Princely FigureBodhisattva head, Grey schistArt from Gandhara, 2nd-3rd CenturyThe Bodhisattva head is supremely regal and refined. I instantly liked this one because of its rarity, excellent condition, and what’s more, it looks great in whatever angle you choose to gaze at it.
Pure EleganceWada Akira (b. 1978)White porcelain Geometric vessel, 2011A friend of mind told me that this vase reminded him of something one might have seen at Crate and Barrel. Upon closer look, one could see the careful details embellished on this vase by young and emerging artist, Wada Akira, disqualifies such thinking. Mass produced decorative works will never look this good.Photo courtesy of Joan B Mirviss LTD, New York(Photography by Richard Goodbody).

Detail of a six panel screen, depicting horses in a stable.
Mineral pigments on paper, 17th century.
The images on this screen seem to fade in and out of darkness, and they have incredible movements. Not to mention effortless elegance.
