Galerie Meubles et Lumières presented The Three Graces, a bulbous white sculpture by architects Jean-Marie et Marthe Simonnet. The French duo is known for its artwork and kids’ playgrounds made from reinforced plastic.

Friedman Benda and Carpenters Workshop Gallery present two works by celebrated American designer Wendell Castle. The designs were created late in the designer’s career when bronze became a central medium. This liberated him from the constraints of wood and allowed his work to move outdoors and engage more directly with modernist sculpture.
