The Crafted World of Wharton Esherick

Chazen Museum of Art
Madison, Wisconsin
February 17–May 18, 2025

Esherick considered his Pennsylvania home and studio, now the Wharton Esherick Museum, “an autobiography in three dimensions.” It houses some 3,000 major works of art from the lengthy career of the artist, who’s considered the originator of the studio furniture movement. A selection of those objects, including woodcuts and furniture forms conceived as organic sculptures, will be on view at the Chazen.
