Museum of Art and Design, New York City, October 2015

Of the various trips to the museums and art galleries in NYC, the Museum of Art and Design was a high point.

Museum of Art and Design from Columbus Circle
Wendell Castle has been creating furniture as art for more than 50 years. This was an amazing and inspiring exhibition. Castle started using CAD and NC machines only in his 80s. Both the early and late works are truly incredible.

The second exhibition was from Japan and was of Kogei. Again, I had seen nothing like these works of art in a variety of forms.
