“Colorama.”,” a show now at the Superhouse in Tribeca, represents the first time Wendy Maruyama and Tom Loeser have appeared together in our fair city in more than 30 years. On view: a mix of works made especially for the occasion and historical examples of both artists’ works. It represents a return to the duo’s radical roots, transforming American fine art furniture. In a statement, the gallery noted “While today’s furniture artists enjoy the freedom to choose material, technique and finish, the duo’s break from traditional woodworking and finishing techniques over 40 years ago was tantamount to a revolutionary act.” .
