Bertoia: The Metal Worker

Italian-born American artist Harry Bertoia's (1915-1978) creative output was varied in the extreme, from chapel altarpieces and bronze fountains to wire chairs and silver brooches. His most unique works remain his "sonambients", sounding sculptures that explore how metal can be manipulated to produce sounds.
This book recounts Bertoia's life and career, including his work with Charles Eames and Knoll. It explores all aspects of the artist's incredible creative output, from his jewellery and iconic furniture to his monoprints, architectural sculptures, and "sonambients. This book demonstrates the coherence of a work that first seems disparate and includes unpublished material on Bertoia and his works.
