Great Designs from Ayala Serfaty
Israeli artist Ayala Serfaty is internationally recognized for her ethereal glass filament and polymer sculptural lighting. We met with Ms. Serfaty, who was visiting Maison Gerard back in 2013 (her work is exclusively represented through that gallery), and found her to be passionate and quite articulate about her work, as she seeks to create new dialogues using ancient materials like silk and glass and pushing them in new directions. The artist has made inroads with collectors and museums around the world including the Victoria & Albert Museum, Tel Aviv Museum of Art, Centre de Pompidou and the Cooper Hewitt.
