Modern Phoenix Week 2010 + Home Tour of Paradise Gardens
On First Friday we collaborated with Nancy and Jerri Beadle to bring the steel sculputre of architect Al Beadle to a broader audience at Phoenix Metro Retro. We also displayed photographs from the Ernest A. and Billie W. Uhlmann Family Archive and Beadle's Mountain Bell-themed art by Alison King.
Several small-scale maquettes were on display and a full-scale sculpture staged out front. After a long period out of sight since Mr. Beadle's passing, this work is now available for commission by the public.
Bird sculputre by Alfred Newman Beadle, with corresponding maquette below.
Alison King's Shatterproof II artwork was made of pulverized concrete and glass gathered from the pre-demolition site of Al Beadle's Mountain Bell building. The shapes reflect the exact geometry of the building' ssilhouette and reference to the fact that two buildings were inteded to be built.
Much to everyone's delight, the Shatterproof artwork was won as a doorprirze by Beadle's daughter Jerry at the Modern Phoenix Expo the following weekend.
Photography and postcards from the Ernest A. and Billie W. Uhlmann Family Archive was on display for the first time as a collection in a show mounted by Alison King. To view more photos of the Safari Hotel, visit here.
