A Sui Serpentine Marble Head of a Bodhisattva 581 AD to 618 AD China This is a very rare green serpentine marble head of a Bodhisattva. The deity is  depicted wearing a huge crown, which still shows traces of red and yellowish paint.  Although the torso of the sculpture is missing we can postulate that it is originally in  standing form, derived from its facial expression and downcast eyes.   The extensively decorated crown depicts three Buddhas and five halos, possibly  indicating the temporal and spatial tri-Buddhas, positioning the present Buddha  Shakyamuni (Vairocana) at the centre. Hints of red suggests previous gilding of  ferrous mineral paint. It is a showcase of splendid craftsmanship, which achieves  a sense of three-dimensional perspective through intelligent carving, emphasizing  the differences between background and foreground.   For more information please click the image above.  To see additional artifacts from the Sui Dynasty please click HERE  Iron Age Vessel Lega Wooden Mask Athenian Silver Tetradrachm CONNECT WITH BARAKAT GALLERY Barakat Gallery London: 58 Brook Street, Mayfair, London +442074937778 Seoul: 58-4, Samcheong-ro, Jongno-gu, South Korea +821034973413 West Hollywood: 941 N La Cienega Blvd. Los Angeles CA 90069 +13108598408 Hong Kong: 68 C Hollywood Road Kelford Mansion.

Morgan Lehman "The Twenty by Sixteen Biennial" February 28 - March 30, 2019 Opening Reception: Thursday, February 28, 6 - 8 pm

The Twenty by Sixteen Biennial curated in collaboration with Geoffrey Young February 28 - March 30, 2019 Opening Reception: Thursday, February 28, 6 - 8 pm Eric Hibit, Blue Velvet, acrylic on panel, 20x16 in, 2018 Eric Hibit    Chie Fueki    Cary Smith    Daniel Zeller    Yuri Masnyj Barbara Friedman    Jenifer Kobylarz    Philip Knoll    Rebecca Chamberlain   Emilie Stark-Menneg    Meg Lipke    Audrey Stone    Trevor Winkfield   Karen Lederer    Douglas Melini    Robert Otto Epstein    Fred Cooper Sue Muskat    Cordy Ryman    Jennifer Coates    Elliott Green Andrew Schwartz    Peggy Reeves    Andrea Belag    Juliana Ellman Hanna Hannah    Alex McQuilkin    Kirsten Deirup    Joshua Marsh Zachary Keeting    Erin O'Keefe    Mark Olshansky Elisa Johns     Tim Bavington   Catherine Haggarty     In this third "Twenty by Sixteen Biennial," the visual adventure continues. With only the one constraint - size- each of the 35 artists in the show is free to invent, explore, befuddle, dazzle, bemuse, challenge, celebrate.     Represented by two works each, artists get a chance to show what they do best twice: with imagery, touch, color, figuration, abstraction, hybridity, absurdity, profundity, or none of the above. If no two artists look alike, it is because no two artists ARE alike. What is particular to one is foreign to another; what is anathema to one is central to another. What the artists in this Biennial share is integrity. And at the helm of each practice is sincerity, integrity's first cousin.     Thus do the works in this show bop, amble, strut, juxtapose, cruise, clash, propose and cuddle...for all they're worth.   Pick your favorite. Question its presence. Revel in pictorial uniqueness. Consider the language each work speaks.      Consider the dialects, the slang, the asides, never forgetting that each work bears the stamp of its maker. Not "Made in America." Rather, made by a human, for the craziest reasons: necessity and joy. -Geoffrey Young Click here for a preview of works in the exhibition Morgan Lehman 526 West 26th Street, 4th Floor New York, NY 10011 Exhibition hours: Wednesday - Saturday 11am - 6pm
