Notes from the Archive: In the early 1990's Castle diverged from a purely "furnituremaking" finishing vocabulary to include gesso and acrylic paints in his works. This led inevitably to a series of painted tables, whose legs could be removed and hung on the wall like traditional "paintings" albeit with the legs as part of the frame or the overall composition. Legs were often whimsical antler or branch like forms. Many of these pieces were shown at an exhibition, "Wendell Castle Picture Tables" at Peter Joseph Gallery in 1992. Subsequent cabinet pieces began to incorporate both hand painted finishes and irregular branchlike forms. The piece in this drawing uses the spindly legs to accentuate the precarious cantilever of a sideboard cabinet far over the disparate organic base forms, in a bit of deliberate whimsy.
