Lynn Chadwick: In Contact (Sculpture Exhibition) (Arts and Entertainment)
Location: Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park
Lynn Chadwick (1914-2003) was one of several talented British sculptors who burst upon the international art scene in the late 1950s. He established a critically acclaimed body of work that continued to develop well into the late 20th century. Inspired by the career of Henry Moore, Chadwick’s sculpture displays a fascinating evolution of personal images through powerful series of abstracted human figures, animals, birds and imaginary beasts. This retrospective exhibition, the first in the United States since the artist’s death in 2003, features 43 sculptures and 5 lithographs from the permanent collection of the Phillip and Muriel Berman Museum of Art at Ursinus College. Beginning with the highly geometric and strongly linear figures and beasts of the 1950s, this exhibition follows the chronology of the master’s career through to the majestic and sensuous male and female forms of the 1980s.
Henry Moore: Master Printmaker (Arts and Entertainment)
Location: Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park
The Lillian Heidenberg Gift to Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture ParkAlthough celebrated globally as one of the most influential sculptors of the 20th century, Henry Moore (1898 -1986) was also a master draftsman and printmaker. Although he first experimented with printmaking in the 1930s, it became a significant part of his repertoire beginning in the 1960s. This exhibition draws from a collection of 24 master prints recently presented to Meijer Gardens by Lillian Heidenberg, one of Mr. Moore’s primary gallerists. Moore explored many of his major sculptural themes in etchings and lithographs including seated and reclining figures, mother and child, and animals. This exhibition is the premier presentation of work from this important gift to Meijer Gardens.
