Park West Gallery 2010 Summer Collection

With graduation and wedding season in full swing and Father's Day right around the corner, the Park West Gallery Summer Collection was put together with the discriminating gift-giver in mind. The collection is currently featured online and boasts an array of fine artwork, high-end designer jewelry, Japanese woodcuts and animation art, all of which are being offered at exciting sale prices now through August 15th. Customers may also view the Summer Collection at Park West's elegant, museum-style gallery in Southfield, Michigan while enjoying the 3 ½ acres of sculpture gardens and luxuriant grounds that surround it.

More than 300 works from some of the world's greatest artists are featured in the Summer Collection including old and modern masters Picasso, Miro, Rembrandt and Salvador Dali as well as contemporary artists Dominic Pangborn, Yaacov Agam, Alfred Gockel, Csaba Markus, and Peter Max. A variety of media are available including oil and acrylic paintings, watercolors and drawings, hand-signed limited edition etchings, lithographs, serigraphs and hand-embellished graphic works.

Fine jewelry from high-end designers such as Erte, Aussie O, Roberto Coin, and Yvel is also featured. While the collection is diverse, all of the jewelry has certain qualities in common such as superb craftsmanship, timeless characteristics and unique design.

The Japanese Woodcuts in the Park West Gallery Summer Collection were created in the 1800s and early 1900s and provide a glimpse into the rich history of Japan. The subject matters depicted include: kabuki (depictions of actors from the Edo period, during which the theater was both fashionable and popular); sumo wrestling (viewed by the Japanese to be equally spiritual and physical); the Tale of Genji (perhaps the first complete novel which was written by Lady Murasaki Shikibu in the eleventh century); Bijn-Ga (meaning pictures of beautiful women); and breathtaking floral designs.

Also featured is a portion of Park West's expansive animation collection including works featuring lovable Looney Tunes, Disney, and Hanna-Barbera characters. Limited edition cels, lithographs, hand drawings, and production cels make up this special offering.
