Making waves

摘要

Hiroshi Suzuki's work in silver is sensuous, beautiful and coveted. His pieces, hammered up and out from a single flat sheet of silver, have been praised for their "sublimely flowing" quality. No one else is doing anything like it. His retrospective, "Silver Waves", is at London's Goldsmiths' Hall (though only until March 6th). Nearly all the 71 pieces on show are loans. They come from museums across the world: the (anonymous) private lenders include collectors from Hollywood, Wall Street and England's stately homes. The Goldsmiths' Company, which put on the exhibition, owns four pieces.
