The easel pops up when the box is opened and the box top flips under the bottom to make a base.
I've been working with color fields and gold dots since the early 1970s, including bookbindings, paintings, and prints. This suite includes 24 matte lacquered prints hand tooled with 22K gold, each 10" x 11½", in a pop-up display box. My patent pending box automatically raises the display easel when the cover is opened. The archival pigment inkjet studies are lacquered and mounted back to back on binders' board before the gold is added, so there are 12 panels. The panels are made to be handled. The gold is tooled at different angles to create shifting patterns as the viewing angle changes. The angle of the easel is adjustable. The colors of pink change with different light sources. The box top has a recessed lacquered panel rubbed to an eggshell finish. The studies within the box are rubbed with felt to a soft matte finish. Viewing each study, it does not appear static, but keeps the eye and mind moving, the attention shifting, the apparent relative depth of the layers changing. As the light or viewing angle varies, other transformations take place. At some angles all the gold shines, at others patterns emerge with bright and dark gold. This affects the illusion. They are made to be handled because they compel the viewer to pick them up and turn them. Each study elicits a different emotional, spiritual, or mental response. For example, they may create a feeling of excitement, wonder, or calm. Some are hypnotic.

I've been making art and fabricating objects for six decades, using all sorts of materials and techniques, from a giant astrolabe commissioned to hang over a hotel bar to collaborating with other artists to construct installation works. Much of the art I am known for involves social commentary and working with materials that evoke the metaphor of the subject. I also create formal aesthetic works in color and spatial relationships, and produce decorative works. I am often commissioned to create bookbindings and books. These range from presentation copies for a best-selling author to prayer books for a monk, guest books for private homes, heads of government, museums, libraries, weddings, special events.... My unique and limited edition works are in more than a hundred museums and libraries in the USA and Europe, including the Victoria & Albert in London, the Metropolitan Museum in NYC, The National Gallery in Washington, the Getty Center in LA, Koninklijke Bibliotheek in Den Haag. In 2017 the Guild of Book Workers presented me with their Lifetime Achievement Award,and in 2018 I was honored as Laureate of the American Printing History Association. In 2010 Yale University mounted the exhibition Material Meets Metaphor: A Half Century of Book Art by Richard Minsky.
