You are cordially invited to an afternoon into evening viewing of ‘QUALITY FOREVER.’
Built in 1947, nestled against the mighty Angeles forest, a hidden gem by Richard Neutra built for his very own secretary Dorothy Serulnic is the temporary home for this touchable art experience by Wylie Gelber.
At its heart, QUALITY FOREVER asks us to extend the language of art into the well-lived life—where form meets function through touch, use, and the daily transfer of attention. Gelber’s work breaks the invisible austerity that so often separates us from the objects we love, inviting us to pick up, to handle, to play. By collapsing the distance between utility and aesthetic experience, his practice reminds us that intimacy with objects—whether through strumming a guitar, turning a doorknob, or moving a chess piece—can be as profound as standing before a painting or sculpture. This is art not as static display, but as lived ritual.
Using industrial machines, dead stock materials, and a stubborn curiosity, Gelber constructs objects that feel both familiar and reimagined: guitars that beg to be strummed, door knobs that feel like artifacts, chess sets that hint at new worlds. These aren’t props or relics—they’re tools for daily life, built with the kind of care that borders on devotion.
QUALITY FOREVER is meant to be experienced—a celebration of form, function, and the magic that happens when materials are pushed beyond expectation. Every piece invites touch. Many invite use. All reward attention and engagement. Come explore Wylie Gelber’s world of durable beauty, experimental craftsmanship, and tactile imagination.
This is more of a casual hang with new friends and the artist in this magnificent space than a “show.” And, if this invite was shared with you it is surely intentional. Feel free to bring a friend but contact us before casually sharing the address. We are excited to welcome you here.
