PROPERTY FROM A NEW YORK PRIVATE COLLECTION
An introduction to the multidisciplinary Japanese-American sculptor-designer, illustrated with some of the 11 works coming to Christie’s in December
According to specialist Stephen Jones, Natalie and Dr Marvin Gliedman collected ‘for the sheer love of it’ — including works by Noguchi, Calder and Diebenkorn
From applique and back splats to veneering and wingbacks, an essential glossary of furniture terms
The French designer’s playful creations have won admirers ranging from Middle Eastern royalty to Kanye West and Jennifer Aniston
He worked in fashion, theatre and film, but du Plantier is perhaps best known for his furniture — superb examples of which are now offered at Christie’s in Paris
The visually supercharged world of the Japanese artist loved by A-listers and inspired by everything from anime to Edo period woodcuts
