AG Gallery’s 5th annual holiday juried gift art show is opening very soon.

Opening on November 28, the theme of the show is “Art for Gifts”.

“ART IN BOXES” is the largest group exhibition which presents one of a kind artworks for ideas of the holiday gifts at affordable price. Many artists curated in this show are international artists currently living and making in different countries including Poland, United Kingdom, Germany, Australia, Mexico, and Japan. Most of international those artists are already known and loved in their country, but not yet widely known here in NYC.

In this show, you will find many amazing art works that you can only find in here at our gallery. AG Gallery exhibits over a hundred of art pieces from many local and international artists. The show will start on Friday 28th,  and it’s a bit early for Christmas though, we’ll add more artworks almost every other week from now. Please stop by AG Gallery for your holiday shopping.

The curator selected small to large art pieces which would be great for the artsy gifts, such as paintings, sculptures, prints, potteries, artist books, artist hand design body tattoos, postcards, accessory and many kind of handmade art pieces. This is the great opportunity for that if people are looking for extraordinary and one-of-a-kind holiday gifts this year. Art, I believe, is always a very rich and special gift regardless the price.

For this specific exhibition, we are willing to do the gift wrapping as well as we will take domestic/international shipping!Also, this is a show that you could take your purchased artwork back with you.

We are always willing to help people who would like to find some great gift for holiday season, and we wish Happy Holidays for all.

”ANTI-GLASSWORKS 2014″ TAKAO SAKATA NEW INSTALLATION on view 8/22~29

Takao Sakata, who has been keep having annual installation at AG Gallery for over 3 years, has a long career as glass-work artist live and work in Shiga, Japan. He would like to introduce, not only audience also other glass-work artists in the world, the new era of glass-work art which must be created from a strong passion to breakthrough the conventionality of current “glass art”.

TSakata01

This is his fourth year of appearance in annual summer installation at AG Gallery. He also preys repose of victims’ souls of the Tohoku Earthquake on March 11, 2011 in the works, “KUKAI NO HOTORI (On the bank of suffering)”.

Artist Statement

“When we look at the glass-work art in nowadays, I can only see weak, cheap, and flatter works. They are called “the modern glass art” or “the world glass art” and seen as if they are the real art. Glass artisans without strong belief or knowledge and the lack of outstanding glass-work art critics abstract making progress of the art. The substantial of art is to express nature, society and human being through clear senses and techniques. It means the attribute of glass material doesn’t produce any arts. Marcel Duchamp signed that people in this century had been completely blind to the art. It is also the severe criticism to “the modern glass-work art.”

Artists accused a falsehood of an era with their insanity that is inherent in themselves, which is a reason why many Western artists have been respected. Those artists risked their lives through their representations. Social value of artists does not change at any time; artists are useless all the time.

Young artists should think carefully. Artists are the ones who decide to gaze live and death; memento mori, in all creations universally. You must not rely on what critics think about your works. In solitude, you have to let time pass. You should not let representations calm and rip off this century. “

—Takao Sakata
