DETRITUS!
LEFT: 1893, Originally part of a series of children designed by Haniroff, one of Goldscheider’s renowned artisans, this endearing piece is quintessential Goldscheider, representing both the aesthetic appeal of the African physiognomy blended with the deep color, and avant-garde design of the Art Nouveau period. Goldscheider was among the most dominant ceramic manufactories of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, employing some of the most gifted artists working in the Art Nouveau and Art Deco styles. The quality and condition of this sculpture is exemplary of Goldscheider at its best.

t is important for us to know what we have always taken for granted in those materials that we believe to be eternally available for us, but if we mistreat mother nature, those common products of nature won’t be available in the future. In fact we are creating trash from what nature gives us to live. We need to be humble and appreciate and not waste these precious materials.
And it is also important for us to know the fact that while the world population has been increasing every year, the products of Mother Nature have been decreasing faster than we realized. The question is, how do we preserve the products of Nature so that we humans can share the limited resources and live together on this small planet Earth harmoniously, peacefully and happily. This is the one of the most critical challenges we are facing today. So, the upcoming show in October is “One Man’s’ Trash Is Another Man’s Treasure!”
The materials used to create the artworks must be found from trash cans or whatever is thrown out as useless. The artists should not or not be allowed to buy any materials to create their works. They can use glue, screws, nails, string etc. to hold the work together.
We want to see how artists can apply their creativity to invent or make something extraordinary as artworks or objects.
We must save the products of Mother Nature in our own small private lives, and our good intended efforts will eventually spread widely, reaching to the other side of our own time, here and now. When a small pebble is thrown in the lake it makes waves, eventually reaching to the other side of the lake. Yuko Nii
