Icons of British Sculpture Featured in New Exhibition

We're pleased to announce the opening of a new exhibition, Icons of British Sculpture, on display Saturday, March 29 through Sunday August 10, 2014 in our Cohen Modern and Contemporary Gallery on the Second Floor.

This engaging exhibition features works from some of the twentieth century’s most well known British sculptors including: Henry Moore (1898 – 1986), Barbara Hepworth (1903 – 1975), Lynn Chadwick (1914 – 2003), Kenneth Armitage (1916 – 2002), Anthony Caro (1924 – 2013), and Barry Flanagan (1941 – 2009). Mostly small scale works, including a group of maquettes or studies for much larger compositions, will be examined. These small works reveal how many of these artists expressed their initial sculptural ideas. Additional works on paper by several of the artists will also be included in the show. Nearly 25 works on loan from private collectors will be on view.
