“The Collectors Essentials,” at Bossa | New York
To inaugurate its new Chelsea outpost, São Paulo collectible gallery Bossa is showcasing a selection of original (and rare) Brazilian mid-century pieces by the likes of Joaquim Tenreiro, Oscar Niemeyer, and Sergio Rodriguez and mixing them with contemporary pieces by Lucca Recchia. Originally from the state of Santa Catarina, in the south of Brazil, and educated in São Paulo, Recchia was initially known for his work on fused glass, but he has now expanded his material palette to include cast aluminum and bronze. On view at Bossa will be a selection from his new series “Morfa.” With its organic shapes and rounded edges, the pieces suggest a certain primordial malleability, as if joined together in a Stonehenge like balancing act.
