Its series “Souvenirs from the Last Century” and “Wood Fossils” upcycle physical memories into new forms, reclaiming discarded wooden materials from different eras and fossilizing them with a transparent body of resin. The furniture is both ancient and contemporary, revived and restored into a new life.At The Salon, the studio is showcasing unique pieces from some of its iconic collections. The “ONYX” stools are the new iteration of the showstoppers “Stone Fossils.” New “Presenze sculptural glass vases” are decorative ethereal objects floating through space, playing with the concepts of presence and absence, lightness and weight, challenging the laws of gravity.Nucleo’s more recent sculptural and artistic body of work, “Boolean Dog Head,” is being exhibited for the first time in the United States. The series explores the concept and use of boolean data, computer-aided design operations of subtraction, intersection, and union in the creation and construction of classical sculptures.“ammann//gallery explores the intersection between art and architecture through the masterful photographs of Helene Binet, recipient of the prestigious Julius Shulman Award, who transforms complex architectural masterpieces into breathtaking photographic compositions made of light and shadow,” states the gallery press release.The gallery is exhibiting for the first time in New York an homage to the urban photographies of American photographer Berenice Abbott.“Designer Satyendra Pakhale skillfully evolved a humanistic design language by blending ancient materials and techniques from his native India with state-of-the-art technology.

Produced using lost wax methods and metal casting, old and new materials and technology are mixed to create furniture and decorative pieces that appeal to all the senses and evoke history,” the gallery adds.Conceptual artist Rolf Sachs is showcasing “The Camera in Motion” series that showcase his experience of traveling on the Bernina Express through the Swiss Alps, a journey deeply engraved on the artist’s life.According to the gallery, Mexican ceramist Abel Zavala’s sculptural work is inspired by living fossils, organisms that have been present on earth for millions of years that are both witnesses and intrinsic components of the evolution of life.
