Jerry Solomon

A former stockbroker and collector of Japanese, African, Oceanic and Indonesian art became an art dealer in 1981. He began buying and selling Asian and Tribal Art, applying a collector’s viewpoint, to purchase and sell quality art. Jerry Solomon is a recognized international authority on Japanese Tsuba (sword guards), and Japanese Shrine masks, previously collecting African, Oceanic, Indonesian, Philippine and Himalayan arts. Being a major believer in eclecticism, that art is most enjoyed when one can experience the beauty of many cultures, his interests and expertise are very diverse. Among them are Japanese Tsuba and Armor, Japanese Shrine masks, African and Oceanic art, Indonesian sculpture, Indian Cola sculpture and Tibetan Thanka. Special interests are in the Arts of the Batak, Dyak, Nias and the Philippines, and especially Bul’ul
