:: 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.

:: Dinotopia: The Fantastical Art of James Gurney

Where: Norton Museum of Art

Time: 10:00 AM - 10:00 AM

On view through September 5...

Inspired by a deep and abiding interest in archaeology, lost civilizations, and the art of illustration, James Gurney invites viewers to enter a whimsical world in which dinosaurs and humans live side-by-side. Recounted in words and pictures in the best-selling book series Dinotopia, the artist's compelling tale has engaged and enchanted readers by inviting them to explore the far reaches of a mysterious destination. Gurney's luminous paintings, beautifully crafted drawings and hand-made models, which are featured in this exhibition, explore the wonders of the distant past through the lens of the imagination.
