David Wiseman / [edited by Evan Snyderman and Zesty Meyers ; foreword by Rodman Primack ; essay by Brooke Hodge.]. New York : R 20th Century Gallery, 2012. 77 p. : col. ill. ; 29 cm. Catalog published on the occasion of David Wiseman's first solo exhibition at R 20th Century Gallery in New York, opening November 2012. This publication accompanies the first-ever solo exhibition of works by Los Angeles-based designer David Wiseman (born 1981). Inspired by the rich classical history of decorative objects and sumptuous table settings, Wiseman explores a multilayered vocabulary of manmade and biomorphic forms such as a blossoming tree, a spider web or a glacier. His limited-edition designs range from place-card holders, vases and chandeliers to furniture and architectural installations. Constantly exploring new ways of working with media such as porcelain, metals and exquisite Czech crystal, Wiseman is extraordinarily hands-on, and his works extremely labor-intensive. He recently created installations for Christian Dior flagship stores in Shanghai and New York, and is soon to install a permanent environmental installation for the West Hollywood public library. A stunning overview of Wiseman’s career to date, the publication reveals an artist of extraordinary ability and depth. Publisher 20240223. Wiseman, David Exhibitions. Decorative arts Exhibitions.
