Harry Bertoia Sculpture: 15 Years at Wright

For any of you lucky enough to be in New York in the next three weeks, there's an exhibition you might want to catch.

Wright Auctions is celebrating their history of selling the magnificent sculptures of Harry Bertoia by exhibiting select works, some of which they sold and some that have never been offered on the market. From Bush Forms, Welded Forms and Somnambients to experimental works, they will highlight exceptional pieces from Bertoia's extensive oeuvre.

The exhibition opened January 21 and will run through February 15 in their gallery at 980 Madison Avenue.

Sold at auction: Paul Evans coffee table

Following on the heels of yesterday's Paul Evans post, you might recall my post about another Paul Evans coffee table we had in the store not too long ago. We sent it to the Wright Design auction, which was held December 12. It was our first time to send a piece to that house, and we were pleased with the result. To see all the beautiful pieces that kept our little table company on the auction floor, including the gorgeous and very rare Isamu Noguchi Cloud ottoman that sold for $170,500 and the Maria Pergay banquette that sold for $158,500, visit the Wright site. You'll be in for a treat.
