My ultimate boat experience

would include Mike Kelley’s 1987

masterpiece More Love Hours Than Can

Ever Be Repaid. When I first saw it at

the Whitney Museum of American Art

I wanted to immediately lean against

it and feel its embrace. This corpus

of stuffed animals, dolls and blankets

creates an uncanny composition filled

with pure love and emotion. During

a tempestuous night at sea, with this

work around I would feel emotional but

safe, thinking of all those parents who

spent more hours of love than can ever

be repaid. europeanarteast.com

I’d choose Khaled Zaki, a major

pioneer of modernist sculpture

in Egypt. In his new series the

artist’s marble works explore

the relationship between form

and material. I remember seeing

his works for the first time in his

illustrious workshop in Pietrasanta,

Italy – a town famous for its carving

workshops since the 15th century

• and falling in love with them. They
  exude a sense of elegance and calm.
