New Exhibition: "Art in the Making" opening Thursday, October 30

FreedmanArt

Opening Thursday, October 30
Reception from 6-8:30pm

FreedmanArt is pleased to present Art in the Making; an exhibition honoring art, the history of whose making is part of its meaning, with over twenty artists included. Art in the Making opens Thursday, October 30. In a time of constant change and advances in the methods of “making,” this exhibition hopes to provide a lens into time-honored art institutions, as triggered by the overlapping of the 50th anniversary of the New York Studio School of Drawing, Painting & Sculpture, and the 140th anniversary of The Art Students League of New York. This brings us to appreciate original and early approaches to teaching, learning, and making; as relevant today as in decades and centuries gone by.

March 8, 2014

FreedmanArt is pleased to present Carved, Cast, Crushed, Constructed, an exhibition of a diverse group of artists seen through the lens of the many distinctive methods in the making of sculpture, from David Smith's 1943 marble Sewing Machine to Frank Stella's 2011 mixed media construction.This exhibition highlights a choice selection of three-dimentional work, by approximately fifteen artists, whose sculpture can be further appreciated by the use of their inventive, creative techniques and materials. The works on exhibition, with several significant loans, include Alexander Calder's 1948 Samba Rattle; to the age old lost wax process of Nancy Graves' poly-chromed sculpture; and to that of John Chamberlain's 1991 crushed and colored metal forms.
