Vu Dan Tan playing piano, during the period 1996-1999. On the front wall is a large oil painting by Le Hong Thai, portraying Vu Dan Tan at piano (this painting was later purchased by Dana Sachs, an American writer). The group of elephants on the piano are sculptures by Vu Dan Tan cut from wine and biscuit packages. The orange boxes on the left wall are from Vu Dan Tan's series 'Suitcases of a Pilgrim'.
The interior of Salon Natasha had been constantly transformed by Vu Dan Tan. To give the Salon a varying ambience, the artist would change the position of the furniture, the display of art objects, and create site-specific installations. Vu Dan Tan attempted to make the Salon a space more than a gallery; he emphasised its unique and natural combination of a home, an artist’s studio, a venue for friends and art lovers to get together, and an exhibition space.
