Such objects, but made by modern masters, are exactly what we collect in our gallery, and among them there are carvings (in wood or bone), small objects (metal or stone), collages (made of any material), stained glass and other author's art objects, such as modern hand-made masks, wooden installations, self-propelled objects, and much more. The main criteria of choice are a uniqueness, originality and the highest quality of each work. Read more
