The style, scope and purity of Henry's work called for a web presence that is simple and strong, yet user-friendly enough to be accessible to art lovers of varying levels of internet experience. John Henry Sculptor, Inc. contracted Medium to design and build a site that promotes not only the artwork, but also the John Henry brand and visual language.
The website, JohnHenrySculptor.com, has a high quality design and is simultaneously easy to navigate. Features of the site include biographical information, about the artist, exhibition and gallery listings, news and media clippings. A portfolio of works; categorizes recent and archive works by scale, using simple sliders to allow site visitors to browse images, then click each to enlarge.
"Having a visually interesting website that is easy to navigate has become essential in today's art market," said John Henry. "It saves my office a great deal of time as we refer clients, galleries, museums and even students to the site." We can be on the phone with a collector and simultaneously looking at the same sculpture - so much more immediate than sending out pictures. Our website is a great tool and Medium created a site for us that we can easily update as the need arises."
