“The Art of Invention” features new sculpture by the American artist Daniel A. Henderson. An inventor and entrepreneur, Henderson has created a body of work that, in his own words, “explores the viral allure of technology and its unintended consequences.” Eight monumental works, including a larger-than-life rendition of a Princess phone in pink onyx and an oversized View-Master made of black marble, will be on view. Henderson has transformed a series of modest gadgets and appliances, familiar in our cultural landscape, into objects of artistic polish that ask us to contemplate technology, progress, and human interaction.
