Decorative arts exhibition celebrates centenary of Geoffrey Bawa’s birth

A decorative arts exhibition titled ‘Objects from the Geoffrey Bawa Collection’ is being held in celebration of the centenary of Geoffrey Bawa’s birth. The first in a series of exhibitions and publications to introduce some of the extraordinary holdings in the Geoffrey Bawa Collection, this installation of decorative objects is on view in situ at Lunuganga from 13 to 21 July. These fascinating objects provide a first glimpse of both the social and private uses of these beautiful things collected over a lifetime by an aesthete with unfettered eclectic tastes, thus building another cypher through which to view the legacy of Bawa – Pix by Kithsiri De Mel
