Wendell Castle: Volumes and Voids at Barry Friedman
October 25 – December 22, 2012
New York City
2012 marks a banner year for Wendell Castle, Americaʼs foremost sculptural-furniture artist. Now in his 80th year, Castle is being celebrated for his over half-century of iconic work and his indefatigable investigations within the realm of furniture design.
The exhibition at Barry Friedman Ltd featured a series of new unique and limited edition furniture, each with a generosity, freedom of expression and confidence in execution not seen before.
Multiple dimensions are explored as Castle expands on the possibilities of voids and volumes. Castle augments, re-configures, and gives girth to many familiar shapes – mirror-image chairs, a settee, desk and tables – and the end result is of a new magnitude - fluidly merged, amorphous elements form surprisingly functional furniture.
