artist: HARRY BERTOIA

On the event of the centennial celebration of Harry Bertoia's birthday, Important Records announces the first digital release of his complete privately pressed recordings.
This 11 CD box set is packaged in heavy duty tip-on telescoping box and includes all eleven Bertoia albums packaged in replica jackets as well as a 100 page book full of never before published images from the Bertoia estate which attempts to show the depth of this highly influential artist’s work.
Harry Bertoia was an intuitive, original and influential sculptor whose sensitivity led him to discover a resonant,healing world of sound within his materials. Through this discovery he created hundreds of sound sculptures, which he called Sonambient,and turned his barn into a private chapel where he would record for hours. Harry
chose his favorite recordings from these sessions and released eleven LPs prior to his death in 1978.

Bertoia’s body of work is nature echoing through man. From
his famous chair to his sonic sculptures, Harry was a pure artist whose curiosity led him to myriad discoveries which can be clearly traced through the evolution of his work.
