This exhibition offers a rare opportunity to present selections from the museum's diverse and far-ranging sculpture holdings. Rarely on view as a grouping, these works examine the myriad ways that artists from the 18th century to the present have approached the notion of sculpture.
Through a selection of artists from the UAMA permanent collections, this exhibition explores longstanding sculptural traditions and contemporary departures. As a survey, it suggests the vitality of ongoing artistic interests in flesh (corporeality and decay), form (structure and substance), and matter (materiality and meaning), from the mimetic effects of realist traditions, through the organic and geometric abstraction of Modernism, to the minimalist and conceptual endeavors of recent decades.
