For NADA New York, Doug Meyer presents Wunderkammer—a cabinet of curiosities composed of mirrors, boxes, and small objects that move fluidly between the decorative and the functional. Each piece is conceived as a compact assemblage of materials and references, where ornament, history, and personal mythology converge.
Drawing inspiration from sources as varied as Hans Bellmer’s surrealist sensibility, the jewel-like metalwork of Line Vautrin, and the symbolic language of Greek and Roman antiquity, Meyer’s works occupy a space between artifact and contemporary object. Mirrors become portals, boxes hold quiet secrets, and sculptural forms act as intimate companions for the home.
Continuing Meyer’s long exploration of talismans and medallions, many of the works carry the spirit of protective objects—tokens meant to accompany their owner, quietly holding meaning and perhaps even a measure of good fortune. Together, the pieces form a modern Wunderkammer: a small world of collected forms where craft, symbolism, and curiosity intersect.
