Guest admires a sculpture

Two very unique German artists, Regine Bloch and Dr. Birgit Wewers, presented their ceramic sculptures and abstract paintings during a vernissage in the lofts on Means Street yesterday. The second event of the "Economy Meets the Arts" series is appropriately called "Zeitgeist" (Spirit of the Time) since the artists draw their inspirations from the people that surround them. The sculptures will be on display until June 12th, the paintings until July 15th. All works are for sale.
