Note:
With the high cost of shipping many of our customers choose to ship by USPS. For small and light shipments this is usually less expensive, but please be aware that their estimates are often wrong and their service can be very slow (sixteen days for Priority Mail from Philadelphia to New York City recently). The service is not always as economical as it may appear, particularly on larger or more valuable shipments. USPS estimates only include insurance up to $100 for its domestic shipments. If you ask for full insurance we will recalculate the shipping cost and send you an invoice for any difference in cost. For overseas shipments USPS will not insure for over $650. On request we can get estimates for overseas shipping from DHL.

New Works from Haiti and Around the World

October 8, 2009 to February 28, 2010

Artwork just brought back from Haiti, as well as a large selection of art and crafts from Mexico, Peru, Cuba, South Africa, Nigeria, Burkina Faso and many other countries.

Haiti's artists continue to amaze with their vision and creativity, in many media - paintings, papier maché sculpture and masks, beaded and sequinned flags and mixed media sculpture made from an astounding variety of found materials.

There is new work by painters Magda Magloire, Fritzner Chery, flag artists Roudy Azor, George Valris, Mireille Delice and Marie Evelyne Sanon, sculptors Serge Jolimeau, Jacques Eugene and the celebrated artists of the Grand Rue, and the papier maché carnival mask-makers of Jacmel.

The show continued through January and February, along with the exhibit Mascaras: A World of Masks. Selected pieces are still on view in the gallery.

Read an excellent article on the state of Haiti's art following the Jan. 12th, 2010 earthquake in the March 18, 2010 New York Times: Out of Ruin, Haiti's Visionaries. It focuses particularly on the Gran Rue Artists, such as Eugene, Celeur and Guyodo.

Dambala Wedo "Kwi" Calabash Gourd by André Pierre
SKU: APR-2001

Oil paint on "kwi" gourd (13” h. x 10 3/4” w. x 5” d.). Completed January 17, 2004.
Provenance: Collection of Nancy Josephson. Nancy watched André Pierre paint this "kwi" and purchased it from him in 2004. She believes it was probably the last of these gourd paintings that he made. He passed away the following year. The crack on the left side occurred as the gourd dried. Although Andre Pierre painted these paintings of the Vodou "loa" deities throughout his career., they are now comparatively rare.
