Now known as the Wharton Esherick Museum, the artist s self-proclaimed  autobiography in three dimensions  on Valley Forge Mountain, constructed between 1926 and 1966, served as his creative epicenter and a vibrant community hub.    To introduce Esherick s visionary work to a broader public, this book draws on the museum s collection of almost 3,000 objects, many never before seen outside his home and studio, following Esherick s evolution from paintings and woodcut illustrations to his revolutionary fusion of furniture and organic sculpture. Through fully contextualizing iconic works in Esherick s own space, this book immerses readers in his creative world while capturing his unparalleled artistic contributions to the realms of furniture, architecture, prints, drawings, and sculpture.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rye Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54819417915768,"sku":"9780847836383","price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0064\/1368\/0730\/files\/9780847836383.jpg?v=1732204457","url":"https:\/\/ryebooks.co.uk\/products\/9780847836383","provider":"Rye Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
