When Wharton Esherick built his famous studio in 1926, it was
situated near two tulip poplar trees. These trees became "witness
trees," witnessing the history Esherick made there. In the late
1970s, one of these trees was struck by lighting. In 2010, this
mighty witness came down. As Esherick himself had made great use of
poplar boards, the Museum invited over 40 select artists to create
artwork from the fallen poplar. Since Esherick was influenced by
hobbyists and professional artists, the Wharton Esherick Museum
invited established, emerging, and student artists alike. Captured
here in 120 brilliant color photos are the resulting works of art.
Among them are furniture, furnishings, woodcut prints, a poplar
splint basket, ceramics finished with a poplar wood-ash glaze, and,
true to Wharton Esherick, a wide range of functional sculpture.
