Description/
Despite its accessible size and lively surface decoration, very few of this style cabinet were produced. Each with the same welded steel radial diamond pattern, they were individually embellished with braised brass decoration and a variety of finishes such as painted, patinated, and pigmented enamel. According to Evans Studio artisan, Dorsey Reading, “we probably made a half dozen of these cabinets.” To date, only one other cabinet of this design has come up for public sale.
Paul Evans
designer
Paul Evans (1931-1987) was an iconic American furniture designer, sculptor, and artist who is famous for his contributions to the American Craft Movement of the 1970s and for his work with the influential American manufacturer Directional Furniture. Paul Evans’ Brutalist-inspired sculpted metal furnishings distinguish him from others in the world of design.
Performer Lenny Kravitz, a collector of Evans pieces, describes his distinctive work as “stunningly beautiful, stunningly ugly, stunningly tacky, [and] stunningly sophisticated.”
