On Thursday, May 15th, from 6-8pm, during Greenwich Village's bi-annual Neighborhood Gallery Walk, Maison Gerard will be hosting two events at its galleries.
A Booksigning with Miriam Ellner at 53 East 10th Street, New York, NY 10003
The gallery will host Miriam Ellner (and her publisher Pointed Leaf Press) for a celebration of the artist's new book Golden Glass: Verre Eglomise. The book, a retrospective, features some of Ellners greatest projects, and focuses on her mastery of verre églomisé, an ancient process of gilding precious metals on the reverse side of glass, etching in a design, and setting it off with color.
Villa Albertine's Oui Design! at 43 East 10th Street, New York, NY 10003
Maison Gerard will celebrate this year's edition of Villa Albertine's Oui Design! with a presentation of French craft and savoir-faire. The display will focus on the ingenious furniture of midcentury desiners Guillerme et Chambron, whose work remains unrivaled in the postwar period for its variety, creativity, and utility.
