The World of Bertoia (Schiffer Art Book)

Here is the fascinating story of Bertoia Studio, where Sound Sculpture was invented and new ideas of what art is were developed. This book documents all the types of original sculptures, graphics, and commissions made by Harry Bertoia and his son, Val Bertoia, from the 1950s to the present. Harry Bertoia helped Charles Eames to develope a chair design, and went on to create the famous Bertoia chairs for Knoll. Over 500 photographs show the Bertoias evolution of ideas that explore the relationships of space, color, and sound. Art collectors have been passionate in their praise and enjoyment of Bertoias work for over fifty years.
