Interview with Putu at Pawitra Sari Gallery in Bali

The owner and operator of Pawitra Sari Gallery in Mas, is Putu. He was kind enough to show me round and explain a few things. When I visited the gallery was empty, except for the ladies outside making baskets. I asked the prices and they told me between 200,000-400,000rp depending on the size. Feel free to negotiate. I did not ask the the prices of the paintings or carvings. The Ubud area is full of galleries, most of which are showrooms, with a single or a handful of artists offering their work. I sense this place is trying to be more, but they need a lot more stuff on show.

Inside the brochure I read a passage at the rear that said “I Ketut Supir, wrote that in Bali every work of art is created not as a sign of a typical feature of a certain era, but it has also principles of the previous development of art. The history of art in Bali shows the continuity of the links from time to time.” Here is what Putu had to say.
