Recent Exhibition: Eric Schmitt

Valerie Goodman gallery recently had an exhibition of vases by Eric Schmitt:  “Bohemian Series” featuring  colorful hand blown glass in various combinations and two models with bronze bases that are like large pieces of jewelry

Eric Schmitt is an important French artist who designs classic yet innovative furniture made of durable materials such as bronze and marble. His work was first noted in the US by Suzanne Slesin in a New York Times article.

Since then Eric has been very prolific and is interested in both unique and very limited editions of important pieces and larger editions. He will present a new line of furniture at Ralph Pucci international next May.

 I am presenting some of his latest work and will continue to do so over the next months:

The Celeste table is related in design to the Hill vases

The Rocs Dining table is adaptable in various sizes and finishes

The center table is on display at the Mark Hotel in New York
