Wendell Castle’s unique wall table #16, 1969 is on view in Wandering Forms and Works from 1959-1979 at the Aldwich Contemporary Art Museum starting on the 19th October.
This table grabbed our imaginations as it evokes the idea of being outside with it’s tree-inspired form and epitomizes civility at the same time as a side table. I imagine sitting in a comfortable chaise in front of this sculpture and one of my children being perched on the ‘branch’ behind me looking over my shoulder as I read a story. Of course the pages are lit by the soft glow of a Bouillotte lamp on the flat part of the tree branch.
