These are tonal sculptures in the Sonambient collection, created by Harry Bertoia over the last two decades of his life. Harry also designed furniture and jewelry, made original monoprints, and installed huge sculptures at various locations around the United States. The music that he and his brother recorded in the Sonambient barn in the 1970's has been transferred from the original reel-to-reel tapes to CD's. Check out the Bertoia Foundation and Bertoia Studios for further information.
I was just reading about Harry Bertoia's sculptures in John Grayson's Sound Sculpture book and I knew I recognized them from somewhere, and I tracked down this video again. Your father was an amazing artist and designer! Thanks for curating his works.
I love Bertoia's sculptures. I will visit one day his amazing Sonambient collection. Although I saw that they are for sale now. I hope that the foundation retains enough of them to keep the Sonambient space.
Incredible. Brings back memories of temples and incense. Another memory of walking down a Japanese street in the evening, light rain, and hearing a ceremony off in the distance. So beautiful
