The Martin Art Gallery at Muhlenberg College will show "Seymour Lipton Sculpture: Post-war America in Three Dimensions," January 18 - April 12, 2002. Gallery hours are Tuesday-Friday, 10 a.m.-5 p.m.
The public is cordially invited to an opening reception, Friday, January 18, 2002, 5-8 p.m., in the Gallery, Baker Center for the Arts.
A process innovator, insightful art theorist, and pioneer in constructed metal, Lipton produced many large-scale sculptures in the post-war period. Lipton's work, like that of his fellow artists of the New York School, is thematically grounded in American post-war thought. Lipton's artwork conveys the societal obsession with renewal through images of nature.
The exhibition, which comprises 24 sculptures, 15 maquettes, and 34 works on paper, is curated by Lori Verderame, Ph.D. Verderame, who has been the director of the Martin Art Gallery since 1996, is the author of "An American Sculptor: Seymour Lipton," published in 2000. She has taught art history at Penn State, the State University of New York, and the Yale University Art Gallery, and has held museum positions at the Allentown Art Museum and the Palmer Museum of Art, Penn State.
