Harry Bertoia’s 𝘞𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘰𝘸 forms emerged after nearly two decades of experimentation with welded wire sculpture and atmospheric light effects. This breakthrough came from discovering how light could “dance” through open metal structures. The sculpture is not meant to be perceived as a solid mass, but rather as interplay between void and matter.

𝗡𝗢𝗪 𝗢𝗡𝗟𝗜𝗡𝗘 • Wright and LAMA are honored to present 𝗕𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗳𝗶𝗲𝗹𝗱 𝗦𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱: 𝗚𝘂𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗻𝘁 𝗣𝗼𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝗠𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗰 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, a June 5th auction celebrating the rich legacy of Artie Niesen, Front Porch Music, and the region’s lasting contribution to American music. Featuring more than 150 historic guitars gathered across decades, this selection features storied models from makers including Gibson, Fender, and Mosrite of California, where Niesen himself worked prior to establishing Front Porch Music in 1978.

Building on the history of Bakersfield-based country legends like Buck Owens and Merle Haggard, Front Porch Music operated for nearly 50 years and became home to Niesen’s own collection of rare and vintage guitars. Each of these rare models was made in Bakersfield and has never left, until now—when they are proudly offered to future generations of musicians and music-lovers.

This sale has been conducted in partnership with guitar expert Adam Tober, whose deep knowledge and expertise have been instrumental in bringing this exceptional collection to auction.
