GROWING OUR NAKASHIMA INVENTORY!!
Magazine and newspaper stories about Moderne Gallery and George Nakashima have proliferated as the international interest in his work has blossomed. Wallpaper Magazine and the German edition of Architectural Digest featured Moderne Gallery and called Robert Aibel, the owner/director of Moderne Gallery "the world's leading Nakashima dealer." As a result of extensive press coverage and our leadership role in the vintage Nakashima market, many people continue to come to us with pieces they bought from George over the past 60 years.
