This exhibition highlights 87 works from the museum collection of the Wood Turning Center, curated by four preeminent mid-career art collectors.

Mr. Stephen Keeble and Ms Karen Depew, and Dr. Jeffrey Bernstein and Dr. Judith Chernoff curated the exhibition along three focused themes. The themes of the exhibit are: Wood, Decoration, and Design. The range of objects reflects the evolution of each couples collaborative collecting- from unadorned functional forms to decorated surfaces to complex sculptural form.

The Wood Turning Center, a Philadelphia-based not-for-profit arts institution, gallery, and resource center, is dedicated to the art and craft of lathe-turned objects. Through its programs, the Center encourages existing and future artists and cultivates a public appreciation of the field of woodturning.

Founded in 1986, the Wood Turning Center has become an internationally recognized source of information and assistance to artists, hobbyists, galleries, museums, collectors, and educators.
