Hello All,

I am having difficulty finding information on Harry Bertoia creating any lamps.

I have found plentiful information on his production of sculptures and irregular pieces, but nothing to date on any Lamps he did.

I probably do not have the access to the materials I need, so if anyone on here has nay photos or information on Bertoia and lamps, I would appreciate it.

- A.S.

Don't anybody dare...
Don't anybody dare say that Bertoia never made any lamps... lest you wish to be revealed for a sissy!

Genuine Curiousity
I've seen photos of many Bertoia Sculptures - and I am not referring to any of his giant works. I would like to know if anybody has seen more modest work from him with lamps.
Some of his work I have only seen sold at auctions as individual pieces and I am having a hard time finding any info about lamps that he may or may not have done.
Any info would be appreciated.
- A.S.

Good grief
I have to go with Niceguy's school of "contact the manufacturer".
You can always contact Val Bertoia at his Email: Valway@aol.com and ask him if his dad ever made lamps.

This truly
boggles the mind. Aaron or Maria or whoever you are, what are you going to do if Straylight answers your question?

may or may not have done?
Really? That statement would encompass all lamps ever made.
Not trying to be rude, but some specificity would be helpful here: why would think that Bertoia every created lamps to begin with? Do you have any example you suspect might be his?
These would be the starting points for this thread.

Snooze and lose...
I was asking about the lamps because a person had a sale of s serious lamp - and though we both did not know where it came from, it was real nice.
I was "hoping" there would be a financial incentive to purchase it beyond the look of the lamp.
I took too long deciding if I wanted the lamp from the guy - and it is now sold.
So now, it is a moot point. I will take a back seat to the research and take my time as it is not time-sensitive anymore and research his work better.
