Poster from John Chamberlain's exhibition of foam sculptures at the Dwan Gallery, Los Angeles from November 29, 1966 to January 7, 1967. These lesser-known works were made from commercially-available polyurethane foam, which Chamberlain then cut, folded, and tied into the sculptural works.

The Dwan Gallery was a seminal contemporary art gallery in the 1960s. With galleries both in L.A. and NYC, Virginia Dwan represented artists such as Larry Rivers, James Rosenquist, and Yves Klein. The Dwan Gallery was closely associated with the Earthworks and Land Art movement, and Dwan was the principal financer for Robert Smithson's Spiral Jetty. We are delighted to announce that our Dwan Gallery records have been fully digitized and are now available online!
