The curator of the Michener exhibit, CEO and Director of the Museum Lisa Hanover, has a deep connection to Harry’s work. From Copper in the Arts magazine: “As I met some of our collectors, Bertoia was a presence in their homes…. His monoprints were a revelation to me. When you look at the scope and scale of these pieces, which are incredible compositions, they are fluid, elegant, deliberate structures…. You see elements of his furniture and sculptures being worked out in these compositions…. I think Bertoia was such a multidimensional person as well as an artist…. He really wanted our lives to be enriched both aesthetically and physically.” copper.org/consumers/arts/2013/july/homepage.html There will also be ten pieces of Bertoia jewelry on display at the Michener. Delicate and sculptural, these pieces are still as inspiring and beautiful today as they were when Harry crafted them.
