Off the Wall: The Human Form in Sculpture
May 23, 2009 ― September 6, 2009

Sculpture is the art of carving, modeling, welding or otherwise producing figurative or abstract works of art in three dimensions. Off the Wall: The Human Form in Sculpture features American and European sculpture based on the theme of the figure and dating from the 1800s to the present. Over 20 figures will be on parade for viewing and judging on the specific qualities of sculpture which set it apart from other visual arts such as painting, drawing and printmaking. 

Organized by the Norton Museum of Art.

This exhibition is made possible in part through the generosity of the John and Priscilla Richman and the Diane Belfer Endowment for Sculpture.
