Sculptor John Chamberlain is represented in this show in works from the 1960s and beyond, including a sofa.

Chamberlain’s works have often been compared to works of Abstract Expressionist painters in New York, from the 1940s and 1950s. Such painters would include: Willem de Kooning and Franz Kline.
