Lee F. Mindel & Paul Solberg

Lee F. Mindel, FAIA, Principal of Shelton Mindel & Associates, received his Master of Architecture from Harvard University in 1976 after obtaining his Bachelor of Arts, Cum Laude, with Distinction in Architecture, at the University of Pennsylvania. Mindel spent months as an artist-in-residence in the RALPH PUCCI (sculpture studio) working alongside our Master Sculptor to develop a design language attuned to the possibilities of PUCCI’s proprietary Plasterglass material for his debut collection of furniture and lighting. Mindel joined RALPH PUCCI in 2022.

Paul Solberg studied Anthropology at the University of Cape Town and traveled extensively to Namibia, Botswana and South Africa before moving to New York. He began his photographic career with his first book, Bloom (2005), which was followed by Puppies Behind Bars (2006) and Tyrants + Lederhosen (2011) and Tattoos, Hornets & Fire (2012). First known for his still-life portraits, Solberg applies the same depth to his human subjects, such as portraits of Ai Weiwei (2008) and his haunting portraits of the Armed Forces (2010), which resides in the Elton John Photography Collection, among others. His work has been included in top publications and exhibited internationally.
