Art
We support both young and established Zimbabwean artists by purchasing sculpture at fair trade prices and presenting their work to an international marketplace.
The first modern Zimbabwean sculptors gained international recognition over 30 years ago. Their art today can be seen in the world's major galleries and museums, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Rodin Museum in Paris. Through apprenticeships in their workshops their craft has now been handed down to new generations.
Today's economic and political realities in Zimbabwe make it nearly impossible for a young artist to succeed. Their currency has practically collapsed, tourism has ceased, free expression has become dangerous, and international exposure nonexistent.
Through contacts within the surviving art world and travels to Zimbabwe, House of Stone plans to continue to bring exciting new Zimbabwean sculpture to the United States. Through your support, the work of these artists becomes valued and they and their art will thus hopefully survive the present harsh times.
To view the remaining statues from our most recent exhibit and for information on how to purchase a statue, please visit our Gallery. To view the other statues that House of Stone has sold, please visit our Art Collection.
