"Wood Turning In North America Since 1930"
2001-10-21 until 2001-12-30
Minneapolis Institute of Arts
Minneapolis, MN, USA

This exhibition will feature about 125 objects of turned wood, including pieces from institutional and private collections. Because of the Industrial Revolution, the art of wood turning only started to be revived in America in the 1930s through the impetus of James Prestini. Following WWII, interest in pure design and the influences of Scandinavia inspired the likes of Bob Stocksdale and Philip Moulthrop. Their successors have been pushing the limits of the medium ever since. The more experimental and challenging approach to wood turning between the 1960s and the 1990s will be the main focus of this exhibition.
