“CHAIRS AND MORE CHAIRS”

Overall, however, the success of this large show- more than 100 works by 53 artists- must come from the high level of quality of the art that has been assembled.  Christopher Sproat’s “Tone Chair”, for instance, though it looks functional and even quite comfortable, is such an exquisite structure of spare geometric shapes that one’s eye almost insists upon seeing it as pure sculpture.
