About the Item

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's sensitive and probing details photographs uncover the intricacies of these powerful and compelling sculptures. Judith Collin's erudite text gives historic context to the estate and the sculptor, and Rungwe Kingdon's moving words, delivered at the sculptor's funeral, give an intimate view of the man. 299 pages. 2320 grams.

Auto Plastic: Wendell Castle 1968-1973 by Donald Albrecht (Book)
Located in North Yorkshire, GB
AutoPlastic: Wendell Castle (1968-1973) accompanied R & Company’s exhibition of the same name, curated by Donald Albrecht and on view at the gallery’s 82 Franklin location from April 20 to June 15, 2004. AutoPlastic situates Wendell Castle’s plastic furniture in the context of late 1960s and early 1970s design innovations and examines, through a selection of photographs, magazine clippings, and ephemera, the relationship between the objects and their era’s social and cultural concerns. With natural, primitive, archaic, and womb-like forms, Castle’s plastic objects recall a time when novelty and fantasy were a means of individual expression (“doing your own thing”). They also highlight how environmentalism (“going back to the earth”) and escapism (“getting away from it all”) were intense reactions to the upheaval of America’s shifting values, student protests...
