Furniture by Wendell Castle

Vintage hardback coffee table book chronicling the career and visionary furniture of artist Wendell Castle. By Davira S. Taragin, with contributions by Joseph Giovannini and Edward S. Cooke Jr. Published by Hudson Hills Press in association with the Detroit Institute of Arts, 1989. First edition, 144 pages.

“Wendell Castle, whose work has redefined the boundaries between craft, design, and sculpture, created furniture as a conceptual art form. This volume presents Castle’s most emblematic pieces—from stack-laminated works in richly grained woods to surreal constructions that blur the line between utility and imagination. Featuring over 60 colorplates and 31 black-and-white illustrations, this book offers a rare look into Castle’s studio processes, his experiments with form and material, and his extraordinary impact on the studio furniture movement in America.”
