Boym Partners’ Timeless Objects at Wright Auction House, Chicago
Posted in: Uncategorized
Wright Auction House continues to explore and support contemporary design by hosting the Boym Partners at their auction space in Chicago, IL from November 3rd through the 14th.
Constantin and Laurene Leon Boym, the recipients of a 2009 National Design Award, will be showing new works (unique to Wright auction house) alongside selections from Timeless Objects, their new collection of ordinary objects made “timeless” through the application of a special epoxy resin mixture, reminiscent of bronzing. The results are highly enigmatic, obscuring the origins of each object while emphasizing their form.
If you need any more convincing, check out Alice Rawsthorn’s article on the Boyms, “Seeing Design as Intellectual Rather Than Just Practical,” published a few days ago in the New York Times.
A few more shots of new additions to Timeless Objects after the jump.
