A Summer of Sculpture at the Cathedral

A Summer of Sculpture at the Cathedral of Saint John the Divine
June 24th – September 10th, 2017


Greg Wyatt: The Peace Fountain & Animals of Freedom
This summer we celebrate Greg Wyatt’s iconic Peace Fountain by immersing the Cathedral in sculpture. It’s been over thirty years since The Very Reverend James Parks Morton, Dean, invited Wyatt to be one of the Cathedral’s earliest Artists in Residence. Discussions between the Dean, Wyatt and the Trustees resulted in the design, casting and installation of the Peace Fountain, which has become a focal point of the campus and an integral part of the Cathedral’s identity. As we anticipate the newness of the future, we honor the Peace Fountain to underscore what abides at the Cathedral: a profound commitment to the values of peace, inclusion, dignity, love, imagination, social justice and discovery.

National Sculpture Society: A Blessing of Animals
The National Sculpture Society presents A Blessing of Animals, a juried exhibition of monumental animal sculpture featuring the works of 26 this country’s leading animal sculptors. Highlights include an eight-and-a-half-foot tall Grizzly bear; a Babel-like tower of frogs; ravens conversing from fence posts; a stalking bobcat; and a group of animal friends engaged in the childhood favorite, “Ring Around the Rosie.” Whether made of bronze, stone, or steel, the animal sculptures embody the diversity of talent and imagination of the participating artists.

The Art Students League: Model to Monuments Retrospective
Since 2010, the Art Students League of New York's Model to Monument program has trained a diverse, international group of 50 League artists in the process of creating large-scale sculpture for outdoor public spaces under the guidance of Greg Wyatt. This retrospective exhibition highlights the accomplishment of these artists by showcasing three-dimensional sculpture maquettes, which represent the students’ original designs, placed next to pictures of the finished sculptures in Riverside Park South, where the sculpture is viewed by over 200,000 annual park visitors.

"The inaugural edition of CONTEXT New York will take place May 3 - 8, 2016 in Manhattan. The fair will join Art New York at Pier 94, located on the Hudson River at 12th Avenue at 55th Street. A VIP Private Preview will kick off art week in New York City on Tuesday, May 3, before Frieze's opening. CONTEXT New York and Art New York will be open to the general public, May 4 - 8. CONTEXT New York will provide collectors with a leading alternative fair to acquire important works of contemporary art. Like its hugely successful sister fair, CONTEXT Art Miami, which launched during Miami Art Week in 2012, CONTEXT New York’s open atmosphere will create meaningful dialogue between collectors, participating galleries, and artists. CONTEXT New York will provide the ultimate platform for both the veteran and unseasoned collector to enjoy and acquire mid-career, emergent and cutting-edge talent by sixty participating emerging and established galleries during one of the most important weeks for contemporary art in New York City."

ULTRAMODERN Group Show

"Azart gallery is proud to present ULTRAMODERN, a group exhibition featuring fifteen artists. The works presented in the show are modern and urban art pieces that investigate diverse and unorthodox art techniques with a special accent on the art of portraiture. The artists will present their respective works of art and invite the viewers to explore the very term ultramodern – to ask questions about what it means exactly and how it reflects on our everyday lives. In a fast-paced world we live in, everything succumbs to convenience. Art, love, leisure, all the things people enjoy are subservient to the chase for something more, and something more usually isn’t enough."

Outside the Lines: Modernist Drawings Show at The National Arts Club

11/29/2015

"Drawings have for centuries offered viewers the most immediate and intimate glimpse of an artist’s perception and sensitivity. From the great outlines of Renaissance masters to the more intimate sketches of the English Romantics, drawings have exerted a great appeal to collectors and art historians. Since the early 20th century, artists have made the argument that that drawings can posses inherent qualities that make them a major art form in their own right. By the 1930’s, artist were challenging ideas of line and space through the use of unconventional media, energizing the power of drawing itself.
This intimate yet forceful exhibition presents an eclectic group of artists who have abandoned (or intensified) pen and pencil to create powerful expressions through line. On view will be works from the 1950’s to the present."*
