Property from a Private Collector, Savannah, GA(Louisiana, b. 1946), with plank seat and sculptural upright. H. 67 1/2 in. x W. 81 in. x D. 24 1/2 in.
Jack Gates was a graduate student at Tulane University working as a sculptor and joined the faculty of Indiana State University in 1980 when it had one of only 10 collegiate woodworking programs at the time. Using his sculptural background as a reference, Gates creates unique designs of one of a kind furniture pieces that display high craftsmanship, sculptural design and master woodworking techniques. Gates' work has been displayed at the Masur Museum of Art in Monroe and pieces of his work are in the Terra Haute Children's Museum, Tulane University and Indiana State University. Speaking of his work “If you want art to be furniture, it has to do certain things to be functional, but then how far can you push it away from that to make it sculpture?
