MASK OF THE DAY
I think that the publication of masks recently sold or passed on auction is particularly interesting to understand the orientation of the taste compared to an universe, the one of the so called folk masks of India and the Himalayas, as rich and varied from an iconographic point of view as profoundly unknown.

DEUS LOCI
The Nature, not contained by the balance of the climate, prolific with drunken exuberance:
the man himself is nature
a stunned immobility crystallizes the man
in an inertia without past,
you move in a virgin soil.
GIUSEPPE TUCCI
