At Auction Charles & Ray Eames (Book)
About the Item
The catalogue was produced to market Wright's Eames design auction on April 8, 2010. The catalogue captures the spirit of playfulness for which the Eames are renowned. Integrating House Industries' Eames Century Modern font family, and the historic photographs from the Neuhart Archive, the catalogue serves as an homage to the Eames' lifetime of work, and Wright's tenth anniversary selling Eames designs at auction. 144 pages.
The Work of Charles and Ray Eames has been a touchstone throughout my career. I purchased my first piece of Eames Design in 1986, the first year i discovered this business. It was a rocker produced in 1950 by Herman Miller. The piece is emblematic of the best qualities of the Eames' work. It is created from just three industrial materials: fiberglass, steel and wool. And what emerges is a functional seating form, a perfectly balanced sculpture and an expression of joy.
I curated my first auction of Eames Designs in 1999. The catalogue for the sale, magnificently designed by Sam Silvio was the first realization of what Wright would become. The sale was a huge success and it gave Julie and I the opportunity to start our own company. We have sold Eames' work ever since.

Lynn Chadwick: the Collection at Lypiatt Park by Judith Collins (Book)
Located in North Yorkshire, GB
Situated on the Brow of a commanding hill, Lypiatt Park, Gloucestershire, the historic manor house and grounds purchased by Lynn Chadwick in 1958, has had a distinguished history. During its long life, it has seen periods of great activity and long periods of neglect. The setting is dramatic, and geographic formations indicate that it may have been inhabited as early as prehistoric times.
Chadwick made this enchanted site both his home and his studio, and it served as a stimulating backdrop for his work. He lovingly restored the house and garden. and in 1986 he bought the surrounding parkland. In the last few years of his life he dreamed of opening the grounds to the public as a sculpture park, and began to site some of his large sculptures along the grassy banks of Toadsmoor Valley.
Lynn Chadwick: The collection at Lypiatt Park is an exquisite exploration of those sculptures Chadwick housed iin the gothic castle he called home until his death at the age of 88 in 2003. David Finn...
