Wendell Castle forged a unique discipline that seamlessly intertwined sculpture and industrial design, consistently challenging the boundaries of artistic creation. Bordering on the anthropomorphic, the voluminous seat of Is It Yesterday Right is supported by three solid legs carved from ash and stained a monochrome black. The work speaks to Castle’s talent for transforming and elevating humble materials into elegant, beguiling works.
