his book is the first monograph to present the highly sought-after work of father and son duo Philip and Kelvin LaVerne. Furniture designers and functional artists, they are unrivaled in their originality and willingness to experiment with methods of production and the incorporation of a wide range of art-historical references.

The works of Philip and Kelvin LaVerne are already prized among collectors of American 20th-century furniture and art. However, Alchemy: The Art of Philip and Kelvin LaVerne written by gallerist Evan Lobel, reveals for the first time the astonishing breadth and depth of their artistic practice, which ranges from avant-garde furniture to sculpture and painting. As a father and son artist team, the LaVernes’ collaboration resulted in hundreds of unique and complex works, incorporating historical references of past civilizations and art historical motifs, with modernist design principles.
