Occasionally, there will be a group of woodturnings from an earlier time period available for viewing on the web. That resource may become of special historical interest, however, the work presented is either in museum collections or private collections. The works you see here are actual works from the Lindquist Studios Collection which are for sale. These are genuine untouched original pieces which have been packed away in boxes for as long as 20 years. Melvin and his son Mark selected significant and outstanding pieces over the years from Melvin's output which was been a relatively steady stream of consistently excellent works. The pieces on these pages are exceptional works from an important period beginning in 1979 when Melvin and his wife Helen first moved to Henniker, NH, to live near Mark and his family. Melvin worked in Mark's newly renovated studio and had access to very special burls and spalted wood, and was able to devote a lot of time to his work. The pieces shown here were chosen and saved in the collection because either they were of beautiful and unusual woods, or they represented important developments in technique or aesthetic concept. Key historical works are vitally important as they document the evolution of an artist's work. These early pieces from the Lindquists' collection are a little more expensive than current works, however, it is a special opportunity for collectors to find works of this caliber and historic significance. Remember what it is that you are looking at. |
