Wendell Castle "A Mature Synthesis of Materials and Forms. Mark Castle’s Most Creative Work to Date"

Barry Friedman Ltd.

This event has ended.

Barry Friedman Ltd. will present an exhibition of new limited edition and unique works by the celebrated American designer Wendell Castle. The new designs are perhaps the most exceptional of his career. A fully illustrated book, published by Barry Friedman Ltd and Friedman Benda will accompany the exhibition.

A long record of critical acclaim, scholarship, and steady acquisition by public institutions gives American artist Wendell Castle’s work indelible historic importance. His groundbreaking unification of sculpture and furniture galvanized a generation of artists and designers and contributed to the acceptance of design as an art form in its own right.

Castle’s work is recognized for its wry wit and uniquely sculptural use of materials, including his signatures: stack-laminated wood and fiberglass. His new body of work pushes these materials further, while also applying his distinctive exploration of volume to bronze, steel, and aluminum.
