You will be in a beautiful art gallery in St George, scanning photos of art and the artist's life and recording the data in an excel sheet. While the work might become monotonous, the art is spectacular and you will learn a lot about our artist. Harry Bertoia designed iconic midcentury modern chairs, created over 50 monumental metal sculptures, and invented Sonambient - a sounding sculpture orchestra. You will work sometimes along and sometimes with a partner and have access to the Director any time you need / want it.

Mission Statement
We EDUCATE and INFORM the PUBLIC about artist HARRY BERTOIA and modern art in general. Who was Harry Bertoia? His jewelry is sculpture you wear. His monotypes a window into the universe. His chairs are sensual and sculptural. His sculptures range from welded, to spill-cast, to hand-shaped, from table sized to monumental. His gentle nature was expressed in delicate fine wire work while his superhuman strength was employed when building and installing his massive architectural commissions. He designed the ever-popular Diamond chair, still in production at Knoll Inc., crafted over 50 public sculptures, and created a new art form, Sonambient sounding sculptures.
