“LOOKING BOXES” Playful Ways of Seeing the World

The Stendahl Galleries of Hollywood presents the opening reception for “LOOKING BOXES” Playful Ways of Seeing the World by artist and industrial designer Maynard Hale Lyndon.

Boxes and accompanying books for sale.

Maynard Hale Lyndon’s design legacy took root in Boston with Design Research, the store that brought modern living to American homes. On the West Coast, he founded an award-winning toy store (Santa Monica, 1967) and directed product development at Forms&Surfaces (Santa Barbara).

On view: a choreography of memory and impression: “Looking Boxes are my layered constructions, wherein I juxtapose images from the thousands of photographs I have taken, (many in Los Angeles) stretching back to 1962. The boxes combine details of places in surprising and serendipitous scenes. Each is one-of-a-kind. There are no duplicates.” Custom boxes on special order, with the collector’s own photographs.

The Stendahl Galleries celebrates one hundred years of continuous operation and is a proud participant in Pacific Standard Time.

PARKING: Street parking (read the signs) and up driveway at the home/gallery
