Friedman Benda is proud to present Wendell Castle: Living, a solo exhibition inspired by the home of the late American sculptor and furniture maker Wendell Castle (1932–2018), and ceramist Nancy Jurs (b. 1941), opening in New York on September 17, 2026. Curated by their daughter, Alison Castle, the exhibition draws on a 1973 House Beautiful magazine feature capturing the artists’ creative living environment in Scottsdale, NY. The article provides unique documentation of this imaginative interior, preserving an intimate view of Castle's works when they were part of everyday life.
