The exhibited works on paper—on loan from the Seraphin Gallery and the Estate of Harry Bertoia—have not been widely shown. The Diamond Lounge Chair, Bird Chaise with Ottoman, Side Chair, Bar Stool and (hopefully) the Asymmetric Chaise—all on loan from Knoll—will be displayed alongside the works on paper. Murphy hopes to allow people to sit on some of the furniture so visitors to the exhibition can experience them both as art and as intended.
