Richard Gien will show his pieces by private appointment (tel. 212 633-2106) and on his website (www.rgien.com).

Gien has been working on a short film called The Light Project, which explores the effects of light on human living spaces and includes some interesting juxtapositions of his inventory, such as a Tang bronze ladle with a comtemporary wooden stand by Japanese artist Hisashika Takahashi.
