Usable Art....Recently my niece asked if she could sit on my 1960s era Lucite chair so she could tie her shoes. She wasn't sure if it was a piece of sculpture or a chair, she lamented nervously. I hesitated. I wasn't sure either. In the end, what is art if you can't use it? I let her sit on it. Dallas fine art photographer Richard Bettinger's new Lucite C Tables were made to be used.
Manufactured by the McLaughlin Collection, Bettinger's electric photos of light waves make for cool table tops. They are sold through David Sutherland showrooms in Dallas, Houston, and L.A.
