Palm Springs’ annual Modernism Week dominates the city in February, but I caught this quiet, elegant exhibit at the museum’s satellite space. It’s a revelatory history and homage to Frank Lloyd Wright craftsman Manuel Sandoval, a twentieth-century Nicaraguan American immigrant carpenter. Sandoval, a member of the Taliesin Fellowship, was brought into contact with key figures of modern American architecture, including Wright, R.M. Schindler, and Alvin Lustig —but he was an ambivalent collaborator. Contemporary artist Ryan Preciado—inspired by Sandoval’s works, such as an ornate drop-front desk from 1938—set out to create an inimitable body of furniture, in latter-day deference to Sandoval. His goal: to reveal and rescue what is often discounted in design and architecture history canons. His beautifully crafted 138 chair, stools, and light fixtures dot the gallery. Including archival vitrines reveals the contentious relationships between Sandoval and the master architects. That ephemeral material is critical to understanding this little-known corner of design history and the fraught circumstances of Brown artists operating in what was then restricted territory. It’s a subtle but powerful revelation.
