Beginning in the 1960’s, Seward Johnson’s painted trays have provided a mixture of utility and hobby. Sectioned into the five fundamental locales of Seward’s life, Midnight Snack Art explores memories, including scenes from his home and farm in Hopewell, NJ, and the culmination of his and his wife’s creative visions, Grounds For Sculpture. Fine softcover, 189 pages, 11.5” x 11.5”
In the spring of 2014, Grounds For Sculpture entered a new era, with the opening of the new Seward Johnson Center for the Arts and the launch of Seward Johnson: The Retrospective, the largest exhibition to date of founder’s work. This volume celebrates this new era.

Paula Stoeke, director and curator of the Sculpture Foundation, provides the preface and Anita Huslin, journalist and author, wrote the introduction.
