Game of Thrones: An Exhibition of Contemporary Art Furniture
On view through July 21, 2019
William Benton Museum of Art
Storrs, Connecticut
www.thebenton.org
“Game of Thrones” features “thrones “or examples of art chairs created by nine of the key artists and makers of contemporary art furniture: John Dunnigan, Jim Cole, Terence Main, Mitch Ryerson, Lothar Windels, Fernando and Humberto Campana, Dale Broholm, and Wendell Castle. It is our goal to introduce our audience to the decorative arts as fine art and the concept that the chairs on view are a form of sculpture. Central to this exhibition is the idea that design aesthetics and function can be integrated into one object.
