Boscobel House and Gardens Presents "Hudson Hewn: New York Furniture Now"

For its 2016 special exhibition, Boscobel will celebrate the dynamic and ongoing tradition of making furniture in the Hudson Valley. Hudson Hewn: New York Furniture Now will feature locally made, contemporary furniture that is inspired by past and present, by nature and natural materials, and by the very acts of making and living with beautiful objects.

Contributing artists and designers include Atlas Industries (Newburgh), Dzierlenga Furniture (Salt Point), Fern Handcrafted Furniture (Hudson), Josh Finn (High Falls), Rob Hare (Ulster Park), Asher Israelow (Brooklyn and Hudson), Nokolai Jacobs (Rosendale), Jeff Johnson (Poughkeepsie), Christopher Kurtz (Kingston), Mike Legget (Woodstock), Moran Woodworked Furniture (Gallatin), David R. Morton/Big Tree Woodworks (Kingston), Samuel Moyer Furniture (Staatsburg), Munder-Skiles (Garrison), Pacama Handmade (Woodstock), Michael Puryear (Shokan), and Michael Robbins (Philmont). Like many of their early American counterparts, their work blurs the lines between decorative and fine art, craft and sculpture.
