Laffanour | Galerie Downtown at MAZE Art Gstaad 2026 © Sebastiano Pellion For his second participation in MAZE Art Gstaad, François Laffanour is presenting to the public, for the very first time, an unprecedented piece by Brazilian designer José Zanine Caldas. A major figure in 20th-century design, renowned for his work in solid wood, he unveils here an exceptional work, previously kept in a private residence in Ibirapuera, Brazil. José Zanine Caldas (1919-2001) Dining Table, 1978 H. 77 x  L. 450 x D. 11 cm © Laffanour | Galerie Downtown HR VISUALS This “Dining Table” is notably distinguished by its top adorned with ceramic tiles, a feature scarcely documented in José Zanine Caldas’s work, giving the piece a remarkable uniqueness. Crafted entirely by hand from hand-sawn sucupira wood and sculpted with traditional tools, the table retains visible traces of manual workmanship. The surface treatment, carried out through sanding and waxing, reveals the wood’s density and depth while highlighting the subtle tension between the massive structure and the delicate ceramic inlay.

Haines Gallery, Exhibits Andy Goldsworthly, "THe Landscape Artists"

In a new profile in The New Yorker, Andy Goldsworthy speaks to Rebecca Mead about the development of his work and his legacy as an artist, from his earliest installations to Gravestones, a poignant new project that will be the artist's "most substantial work on his home terrain." The sheer beauty of some of Goldsworthy’s work—sliced fronds of heron feathers arranged in stark geometries, or a boulder coated in blood-red poppy petals—has sometimes led him to be characterized as a visual version of an exultant nature poet. But Goldsworthy deplores the city dweller’s notion of the countryside as a picturesque escape. “For me, the landscape is not a place you go to for therapy and relaxation—it is to get challenged and have ideas, and to generate thoughts and feelings and emotions,” he told me. “It’s a very powerful thing to deal with.”   Read on newyorker.com Goldsworthy in San Francisco Drawn Stone (2005) at the de Young Museum Spire (2008) in the Presidio Wood Line (2011) in the Presidio Andy Goldsworthy's work has been the subject of Fifty Years, a critically acclaimed retrospective at the National Galleries of Scotland, as well as exhibitions at major museums including the Aspen Institute, CO; deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum, Lincoln, MA; Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park, Grand Rapids, MI; Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, NY; Museo Nacional Reina Sofia, Madrid, Spain; and Yorkshire Sculpture Park, UK.
