Wendell Castle: Wandering Forms and Makers Market
Friday, October 19; 5 to 9 pm
Please join us for an exclusive evening with celebrated artist Wendell Castle and top American artisans to benefit The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum. Guests will enjoy a private exhibition reception for Wendell Castle: Wandering Forms with the artist and curators; priority access to Makers Market, described by The New York Times as “the grand prix of crafts fairs,” where attendees can meet the makers and purchase works before the fair opens to the public; and festive cocktails and canapés amid fall foliage on the Museum’s campus.
Wendell Castle
Wandering Forms—Works from 1959–1979
October 20, 2012, to February 20, 2013
The first major exhibition of the iconic designer’s work in over twenty years and the only one to focus exclusively on the period when his inimitable style of ground-breaking sculptural furniture was defined. Wendell Castle’s exploration of form and function blurred the boundaries between art, craft, and design, forever changing the way we look at furniture. The exhibition coincides with Castle’s eightieth birthday and will be accompanied by a publication. The Aldrich will host a public opening featuring a panel discussion, book signing, and family activities on Saturday, October 20, from 2 to 5 pm. Free for members; free with the price of admission for non-members.
