It’s hard to believe Sam Maloof turned 88 on January 24th. And another exhibit of his furniture will open next Monday:
“Fifteen of Maloof’s hand-crafted pieces will be on display at University of La Verne’s Harris Art Gallery starting Monday. It is the first time the university has exhibited the Alta Loma craftsman’s work.
“Maloof is a very important figure in the area,” said Ruth Trotter, chairwoman of the Department of Art and Art History. “Our president, Steve Morgan, decided to honor Sam at the President’s Dinner Gala. The exhibition is happening in conjunction with the Gala.”
The exhibition will feature various chairs, a dictionary stand, an upholstered recliner, music stands, original sketches and Maloof’s signature rocking chair – his most popular piece.”
Admission is free, and the exhibit runs through February 27th.
O, to live in Alta Loma for one day!
