Sculptors: From Degas to Ruscha!
A formidable summer art exhibition of works by some of the major sculptors of modern and contemporary art, titled Sculptors: From Degas to Ruscha will be presented by Jack Rutberg Fine Arts in Pasadena. The exhibition will open with a preview reception on Sunday, June 29 from 3:00 to 6:00 PM, and will extend through the summer until September 11, at the Jack Rutberg Fine Arts gallery located at 600 S. Lake Avenue in Pasadena.
The rarity in viewing such a wide range of exceptional artists is notable even for museums, but in this exhibition, visitors engage works in the intimate space of the Rutberg gallery offering the viewer a personal experience as one might consider an acquisition for a home, or for that matter, as the artist might have experienced the work in its making.
Notable are works as varied as Gauguin鈥檚 two-sided sculpture depicting Tahitian subjects and one of only two bronze sculptures created by Ed Ruscha, where his iconic wordplay reads like a roadside billboard. Wide ranging contrasts are evident by several formidable 20th-Century woman artists鈥攁 poignant bronze bas-relief by Kathe Kollwitz, an elegant assemblage by Louise Nevelson, a masterpiece Point by Claire Falkenstein, and the quiet charge of Hannelore Baron鈥檚 remarkable works.
In this exhibition, scale becomes irrelevant as one is taken by the impact of a small bronze sculpture by Pierre Bonnard measuring only six inches tall, or the monumentality and extraordinary sensitivity of two women in dialogue in Francisco Zuniga鈥檚 Coloquio, which measures six feet wide.
The range of media is also notable as in the poetic assemblage and alteration of found objects by Arman, Gordon Wagner, George Herms and Alison Saar.
Notable also is the rare opportunity in the U.S. to engage the exceptional ceramic sculpture by the contemporary Danish artist, Peter Lind Busk, and the poetic alchemy of the Catalan artist, Jordi Alcaraz, whose works continue his expansive international recognition. Jack Rutberg Fine Arts introduced Jordi Alacraz in his first American solo exhibition in 2010.
