Marketing poster/brochure for Harry Bertoia's line of sculptural steel wire mesh-and-rod chairs for Knoll Associates, published in 1957. Graphic design by Herbert Matter. Folded in eighths as issued. Printed on both verso and recto. Folds to variously showcase and reveal Matter's elongated Knoll trademark "K", a Knoll showroom setting featuring the chairs, a photo of Bertoia amidst his collaged metal sculptures, and product shots with curatorial information for his side chairs, small and large Diamond chairs, high Bird chair and ottoman. In Bertoia's words, "In the sculpture, I am concerned primarily with space, form and the characteristics of metal. In the chairs many functional problems have to be satisfied first?but when you get right down to it the chairs are studies in space, form, and metal, too?If you will look at these chairs you will find that they are mostly made up of air, just like sculpture. Space passes through them." An aside: A photo alongside the product shots shows two Diamond chair seating positions superimposed, indicating flexible seating positions analogous to Lina Bo Bardi's now-famous Bowl Chair, designed around the same time (1951). This is perhaps a lesser-known attribute of Bertoia's iconic design. Measures 19.5" x 23" open. Will ship folded (7" x 9.75"). Light bumping and rubbing to extremities.

Colish, Inc. of Mount Vernon, New York, under the supervision of Bert Clarke "Thirty five years ago in a small beach house by the Pacific Ocean on the Coast of California, this book began to take its form. It was my intent to explore a technical means that would permit me to work with great rapidity. I had done a considerable amount of experimentation with materialsthat were on hand and processes that would evolve in the course of action. All this points to a technical development needed to permit the fluidity of thought to evolve from page to page without disruption or discontinuity. Speed of execution being essential, it became possible by drawing in the back side of paper using fingers, thumb, palm and various tools made of wood or metal. The ink was rolled on glass. Pressure picked up the ink in a granular way, which I liked. Technique and image were developing along parallel lines, interacting and transmogrifying no end. The whole sequence of fifty pages came into being, in about twenty-four hours of uninterrupted work. (Bertoia).

Condition: New/Sealed. vinyl record LP. black & white illustrated record sleeve w/ text. Sculptor Harry Bertoia's experimental, ambient sound recordings. Factory Sealed LPs. LPS 10570. Back sleeve photo by Guy Tomme. "Sonambient is the name of a series of vinyl LP albums recorded, designed, produced and released by mid-century modern sculptor Harry Bertoia himself. Known for his architectural design as well as his sculptural-style art work. In the later period of his career, he began to focus on sculpture that interacted with viewers and/or the elements, like the wind and weather, and as he built smaller pieces in his studio, he began to explore the ways in which the metal and other materials could be manipulated by hand to produce sound. By stretching, bending, striking, and in other ways moving the materials, he made them respond to wind and/or to touch to create different sounds or tones, which he then taught himself to "play", and recorded a series of pieces which he later released as this series of LPs. He also performed with the pieces in a number of concerts. --wikipedia.

Bertoia, Harry. UNTITLED MONOTYPE (American, 1915-1978). Ink on rice paper, circa 1970. Unique. Unsigned, Inscribed 453 in ink, lower right. 25 x 12 inches, framed to 30 x 16 inches. In excellent condition.The following is from the section on Monotypes on the website of the Bertoia Foundation:"Bertoia developed his own style of creating monographics at Cranbrook Academy of Art in Bloomfield Hills, and never worked with, or even met, other printmakers.He would ink up a glass surface, place rice paper on the glass, and then create designs with fingers or hand tools from the backside of the paper. Each "print" is unique never reproductions of another and there are thousands of them. When Bertoia, looking for critique and direction, sent about 100 monotypes to Hilla Rebay at the Guggenheim Museum of Non-Objective Art in 1943, he was quite shocked when she asked to purchase the entire stock. He was up half the night determining a fee, and finally set $1000 as his compensation. When the subsequent Guggenheim show included many of his prints, Bertoia's name gained recognition.Bertoia loved the quickness and spontaneity of the medium of his graphics. While sculptures took weeks or months to produce, monotypes came to life in mere minutes. The series of 50 monotypes reproduced in the Harry Bertoia Fifty Drawings book "came into being in about twenty-four hours of uninterrupted work." Most, if not all, of Bertoia's designs, whether they are chairs or sculptures or tonals, were born on paper first. He started the monotypes in 1939 and continued throughout his life.".
