Last night kicked off with a great exhibition at Giltsoff. Exhibiting on Madison Avenue out of Mallet, the very high-end English furniture dealer, John showed a range of beautiful objects. My favorites included a great Tiki, at $90,000 a bargain compared to the Sotheby's Tiki sold last month ;-). Other favorites included a wood Maori hand club and a rare and beautiful Songye shield. Every object was of the highest quality. The Bonham's opening was also very well attended and I saw many of the important European dealers in attendance. Bonham's Tribal, now run by Fred Backlar, have many fine, affordable objects and their auction should do well.
