After earning a BA at Yale, however, he followed his passion for architectural history, studying at Cambridge University, where he also created <em>Topic<\/em> magazine. After relocating to New York City, he became the founding executive director of the Urban Design Forum and worked at <em>New York Magazine<\/em>, where he has been editor in chief since 2019. He also became a partner in the whiskey company Kings County Distillery in 2010.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"950\" height=\"514\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/BoomBeach-950x514.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-434713\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/BoomBeach-950x514.jpg 950w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/BoomBeach-647x350.jpg 647w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/BoomBeach-120x65.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/BoomBeach-768x415.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/BoomBeach.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The exhibition &#8220;David Haskell: Boom Beach,&#8221; is on view at Donzella Ltd. in New York through June 12.

Donzella, cursed with a brown thumb, admits he \u201cbought the plants just to get the pots\u201d and encouraged Haskell to create nonfunctional works as part of the gallery\u2019s roster of contemporary ceramic artists, which includes <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/chris-gustin\/\">Chris Gustin<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/lucien-petit\/\">Lucien Petit<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/rosanne-sniderman\/\">Rosanne Sniderman<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFrom the get-go, I was inspired by the scale of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/henry-moore\/\">Henry Moore<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/barbara-hepworth-1903-1975-british\/\">Barbara Hepworth<\/a> sculptures and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/isamu-noguchi\/\">Isamu Noguchi<\/a>\u2019s relationship to nature,\u201d says Haskell, who cites the Noguchi Museum in Long Island City as his favorite place in New York. \u201cI was interested in what happened as I started pressing the physical limits of wheel-thrown pieces, attaching them together and referencing natural forms \u2014 sometimes humans, plants and stacked rocks, like the cairns I used to see when I went hiking. I want the pieces to feel organically old and evoke emotion that comes from experience, like that feeling you have coming up against a mature oak tree planted in the 1800s.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Haskell\u2019s sculptures scratch Donzella\u2019s itch for organic and architectural ceramics. \u201cI am drawn to strong forms, and they are not wallflowers. They also don\u2019t overpower the pieces they are shown with,\u201d he says, noting that Haskell&#8217;s works pair handsomely with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/style\/arts-and-crafts\/\">Arts and Crafts<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/style\/art-deco\/\">Art Deco<\/a> and Italian modern furniture, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/frank-lloyd-wright\/\">Frank Lloyd Wright<\/a> gentleman\u2019s chests and bronze tables by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/philip-kelvin-laverne\/\">Philip and Kelvin LaVerne<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cLike so many collectors, I feel an internal aesthetic connection to David\u2019s work,\u201d Donzella adds. \u201cYou see it, you walk away, and you\u2019re haunted by it until you have to take it home.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"interstitial-banner interstitial-banner-collection interstitial-container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"interstitial-content\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"interstitial-background-image\">\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"957\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/4_master-957x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-interstitial size-interstitial\" alt=\"David Haskell\" \/>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"container interstitial-text\">\n\t\t\t\t<a class=\"interstitial-link-around-text\" href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/david-haskell\/furniture\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"interstitial-heading\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tShop David Haskell's Work on 1stDibs\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"interstitial-subheading\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<a class=\"gold-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/david-haskell\/furniture\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span>View All<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>David Haskell\u2019s ceramics challenge the laws of physics and the rules of perception with volumes that press skywards in mind-boggling balancing acts and painstakingly applied glazes that flow down to terra firma.
