Richard Snyder (American, born 1951), 'The Cabinet of 3 7/8 Wishes', 1992, mahogany veneered plywood, with accompanying postcard from the artist confirming completion and the title of the work, dated 1992213 x 71 x 70cm Provenance: Purchased directly from the artistFootnote: American designer, Richard Snyder, was one of a group of artists who created furniture for Rick Kaufman’s New York gallery, Art et Industrie. Initiated in the late 1970s by cultural impresarios Kaufman and Tracy Rust, the Art et Industrie collective brought together exceptionally gifted artists, designers, and craftspeople to produce unique, often handmade, items in extremely limited runs. Rather than being purely functional, the pieces executed under the auspices of Kaufman and Rust aimed to create a new language of ‘art furniture’ and to interrogate the boundaries between the disciplines. In a postcard addressed to the current owners of the present lot, Snyder joked that he had titled the piece “The Cabinet of 3 7/8 Wishes”, a deviation from the official title “The Cabinet of 4 Wishes”, as he had to adapt the piece to fit their home. A very similar example of the present lot can be found at The Art Institute of Chicago (item 1990.399).

Born in Tokyo in 1934, Kuramata graduated from Tokyo Technical College before training as a cabinet maker at the Kuwasawa Institute of Design in Tokyo. By 1965, Kuramata had established his own design studio, Kuramata Design Office, where he worked alongside leading Japanese creative figures such as Jiro Takamatsu andTadao Ando. In 1981, Kuramata was invited by the pioneering Italian designer and architect, Ettore Sottsass, to be a founding member of the Memphis Group. Combining traditional Japanese aesthetic principles, with distorted and subverted tropes of Western design, Kuramata’s playful and neoteric designs elevate objects of the everyday, creating unexpected and often humorous forms. Condition report: In good condition, a few minor scuffs and marks from use, a little grubby but in good overall condition.
