Catalogue Note
"Although he [John Chamberlain] initiates works in other materials and modes, he always comes back to further elaborate his basic material... This sounds like a Johnny-one-note, but it's quite the reverse, a 35-year-long aria that becomes more refined and beautiful." - Henry Geldzahler (Carol Strickland, "Unshackled, Unconventional Sculptor," The New York Times, June 13, 1993)
