Collection Focus: David Ellsworth at RAM

An influential presence in the modern wood turning community, this Pennsylvanian artist has both channeled and challenged the idea of functional turned wood vessels. Showcasing the use of organic materials, primarily wood, Collection Focus: David Ellsworth is part of a series of collections-based exhibitions featuring artists whose work Racine Art Museum holds in-depth. This 20-page catalogue features an essay on the significance of Ellsworth's work along with color images of pieces in RAM's permanent collection. Read about the variety of wood species and his own bent turning tools that this wood turner uses to achieve his conceptual and aesthetic goals.  20 pages Softbound © 2011 Racine Art Museum RAM MEMBER PRICE: $4.50
