Music Stand

Music Stand is one of Wendell Castle’s biomorphic pieces of the 1970s that achieved, in his words, ​“a sense of delicate balance … that [seems] to defy gravity.” The graceful, tapered legs reflect Castle’s belief that the base of a piece is as important as what it supports. Music Stand is an example of the artist’s efforts to create furniture that is ​“equal to sculpture” and ​“accepted on the same level as other art forms.”
