Wendell Castle

His academic appointments are numerous and his inclusion in one-person and group exhibitions as well as permanent collections is extensive. His work can be found in the Museum of Arts and Design, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Mint Museum of Art, Museum of Fine Arts, Museum of Modern Art, among others.
