Finally, the sale will be complemented by a number of Haitian art books.
The gallery team will be available to help bidders who require assistance in placing their bids.
I have had a long love affair with Haiti: “the Pearl of the Antilles”, its people, its countryside, and in particular its art, which tells a story of its people, its customs, its religions, and its culture. There is no art that is as unique as Haitian art. I have been a collector of Haitian art since the 1960’s and I have over 2000 pieces of Haitian Art.

As a former member of the international board of the “Musee St. Pierre” of Port au Prince I came to know the museum and its collection. Since the earthquake the museum has been in danger: I am pleased to participate in this sale for its benefit.
