AFA Summer 2019

Antiques & Fine Art 67 2019 Famous for her exuberant use of color, Amy Lau shows she can do anything, as evidenced by this lyrical dining room. Whirling, twirling, serpentine shapes contrast with boxy grids and angular profiles in this fantastic composition of black and white. Spanning ten feet across, an eight-armed Octopus chandelier by Achille Salvagni bathes the scene in warm light filtered through its onyx shades. A celebration of organic form and the artistic process, the one-of-a-kind Lumenoria dining table by Irish furniture artist Joseph Walsh is crafted with a black pigment-dyed ash base and an amber cast resin top. A pair of his 3-legged Enignum II chairs are positioned at the head and foot of the table, mated with a half dozen of Gio Ponti’s 1957 design classic, the Superleggera chair. The walls are covered in a gallery-style assemblage of black and white abstract artwork from Group ZERO, a consortium of neo-avant-garde artists with roots in the Minimalist and Italian Arte Povera movements of the late 1950s.
