HOMER

Atop an Edgar Brandt wrought iron and marble console table (circa 1926–1927), a striking arrangement of objects bridges centuries of craftsmanship and artistic expression.

At the centre, a rare Jean Dunand Dinanderie vase, Vase aux Cobras (circa 1913), exemplifies early 20th-century French decorative mastery.

To its left, an Attic Red-Figure Hydria, Greek, circa 525–500 B.C., anchors the composition in antiquity with its refined ceramic painting.

To the right, a Peter Schlesinger Plaid Pitcher (1998) introduces a whimsical, sculptural counterpoint in glazed ceramic.

Above, a monochromatic yet organic presence emerges from Dominique Lacloche’s Leaf V (2020), a contemporary exploration of nature and texture rendered in fine graphite on paper.

To the right of the staircase:

François-Xavier Lalanne’s iconic Mouton de Pierre, designed in 1979 (No. 114/250), brings a touch of surrealism and charm to the space.

Standing beside it, Alberto Giacometti’s Figure Moyenne II (1947) lends a haunting sense of stillness and presence in patinated bronze.

Completing the scene, an oil on canvas by Pat Steir layers abstraction and gesture in vibrant tension with the architectural setting.

This tableau reflects a curatorial vision that values contrast, materiality, and the interplay between historical resonance and contemporary art.
