Once again, the commercial gallery's two directors - Tony Pontone and Anthony Stancomb - have brought together a wonderful array of international artists, with a variety of sculptured and painted works for sale. Let us browse what is on offer, starting with Pablo Atchugarry, who is a fine sculptor from Uruguay. Pablo has four sculptured works on show which range in size from 45cm x 37cm x 19cm - for a £5,750 sculpture, done using Pink Portugal Marble - up to a towering 240cm x 46cm x 35cm sculpture (located at the back of the gallery), using identical pink marble, priced at £32,500. His two other sculptures are made using Statuary Carrara Marble. His fellow South American... the Argentinian, Lily Salvo's has three oils on canvas, which range in price from £4,875 to £13,500. The much-acclaimed Mersad Berber, who we have written about before, is showing four works of mixed media on canvas, which range in price from £8,500 to £15,000. Canadian, Heather Graham's five works on display feature fruit, nuts and vegetables and range in price from £850 each, for "Naked Pear I" and "Naked Pear II", up to £1,750 for "Artichoke."
