It blended the artist's seminal works with his latest collec- tion, produced with digital technology. In part a self-reflection, this eponymous, full-color companion book examines some of Castle's historically representa- tive works as well as significant contemporary furniture pieces, continuing his highly respected and acclaimed sculptural\/functional dialogue. Castle, ever the innovator, was remarkable for his openness to new technologies; he not only embraced an initially complex practice but has \"remastered\" it. His vast oeuvre represents a prodigious lifework that began in 1958 and aligns with the develop- ment of the American art furniture movement. The solo exhibition was a somewhat self-reflective examination of his early ground-breaking works that tested the boundaries of traditional furni- ture making by presenting his later innovations using new digital technologies such as 3D scanning and modeling, and computer-controlled milling--a digital \"remastering\" of his immense oeuvre. Unique perspectives on the master's work are presented by informative essays by authors well-versed on Castle's celebrated career.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGlenn Adamson is the director of the Museum of Arts and Design in New York.
