WENDELL CASTLE: A PORTRAIT
(1/60)

Close   

Documentary  TV-G

WENDELL CASTLE: A PORTRAIT captures the life of a master furniture artist, designer, sculptor and educator and traces his prolific career through the decades. Through Castle’s own words and interviews with family, friends and colleagues, viewers also learn about his early years as an artist, his creative process and the vision for his work. Wendell Castle (1932-2018) is often credited as the "father of American Studio Furniture and Art Furniture Movements," joining function with fine art. More than 100 of his works are installed in museums and galleries worldwide, including the Art Institute of Chicago, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. The hour-long documentary spans his body of work, looking at his distinct stack lamination masterpieces in wood, his technicolor gel-coated fiberglass pieces, and the 500,000th Steinway piano he was commissioned to create. Additionally, the film visits Castle in his Scottsville home and studio and provides a unique opportunity to observe Castle at work as he creates his “Dizzy” chair – chronicling the process from his original drawings to the finished work of art.
