Note: A similar version of this cabinet but with different colors is on the artist's website. He incorporates color on virtually every piece. There is a good deal to see in Cullen's work, which some fans of studio furniture believe is among the best and most individualistic coming out of the United States. Cullen is known for his use of color - something not all woodworkers approve of, for his carving and patterning, his touch of whimsy, and, in a way, his modernity.
Provenance: Pritam & Eames, 2004; Private Collection, New York
