Individually, the works of art sold by Jay Arenski are recognized for their exceptional design, execution and artistic endeavour (there have been a number of museum sales over the years).
The particular strength of the business, which can be seen at the fairs Jay exhibits, is incorporating this diverse collection with mid-20th-century and contemporary cutting edge design.
This juxtaposition enables clients to nurture their natural desire to expand areas of interest and incorporate ‘new’ ideas.
