:: Beyond the Figure: Abstract Sculpture from the Norton Collection

Where: Norton Museum of Art

Time: 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM

As a follow up to the highly successful Off the Wall: The Human Form in Sculpture, the Norton Museum of Art has organized Beyond the Figure: Abstract Sculpture in the Norton Collection. As the title suggests the exhibition-drawn from the Norton's American, European and Contemporary collections-will present a grouping of abstract sculpture. Over 20 sculptures are gathered and organized around such themes as "Lines," "Assemblages" and "Vessels." Examples include: Sol Lewitt's modular white cube sculpture and a Howard Ben Tré cast glass and bronze pseudo-architectural element sculpture are featured in "Lines." "Assemblages" includes typical wood constructions works by Louise Nevelson and Nancy Graves' unlikely conglomeration of objects with an industrial feel. And finally, "Vessels" is anchored by a group of 7 Macchia by Dale Chihuly and Ursula Von Rydingsvard 's gigantic carved-cedar bowl.
Organized by the Norton Museum of Art.
