Description
The Nasher Sculpture Center's newest installation, Beyond the Grasp: Sculpture Transcending the Physical, will feature a number of masterworks from the Raymond and Patsy Nasher Collection making their first appearance at the Center. The installation will be on display in the galleries from March 15 - August 31, 2008.
Sculptures are often solid, massive, physical presences. Yet many 20th century sculptors explored subjects that are ephemeral, intangible, and metaphysical. As part of its display of highlights from the Raymond and Patsy Nasher Collection, this focus installation investigates sculptures that address elusive and ethereal subjects with tactile, often substantial materials such as wax, glass, bronze, stone, and steel.
The installation features works by artists such as Medardo Rosso, Alberto Giacometti, and Barnett Newman, as well as those by Richard Long, Anish Kapoor, and Christopher Wilmarth, being shown for the first time at the Center. Also available for viewing from the Nasher Collection are several sculptures by Henri Matisse, back from their year-long tour with the groundbreaking exhibition, Matisse: Painter as Sculptor.
Adults $10 Seniors $7 (65 & over) Students $5 Children Free (12 & under) Members Free
