These sculptures by Bernar Venet are precisely as described by the title… five

beams of steel rolled into a 230.5 degree arc, plus two additional arcs—one
235.5 degrees, the other 232.5 degrees. Each is constructed of four beams of
steel. Throughout his career, Venet works to redefine art and to separate himself
from the idea that art is the expression of the artist. For him the most important
element in a work of art is the concept or idea involved. In his recent work, Venet
creates works based on mathematical graphs and formulas. In mathematics,
Venet discovered a language of symbols that satisfied his desire to create an art
that is non-expressive and not subject to personal interpretation.

Jack Youngerman finds inspiration in art and artifacts from around the world.
The title Samarkand refers to the ancient city located along the Silk Road, an
important trading route. The city experienced numerous conquests during its
2,500 year history, creating a culture that mixed together Iranian, European and
Asian influences. The form of this sculpture resembles one of the most distinctive
forms of Japanese art—a folding screen, combined with elements drawn from
Middle Eastern architecture.

La Riviere The female nude is the subject of nearly all of Maillol’s mature work. Although
1938-1943 most of his sculptures are characterized by stillness, serenity and emotional
Bronze restraint, La Riviere departs from those ideals. The artist creates the feeling of
43.3" x 94.5" x 57" instability and movement by placing the figure low to the ground and extending
Aristide Maillol the head and arms beyond the pedestal. The figure, with its legs bent in a pose
7 that suggests running, is the personification of water.

American sculptor, Tom Otterness creates cast bronze sculptures inspired by fairy
tales, cartoons and early animation. His work often appears comical, but carries
a serious message. In Kindly Geppetto, Geppetto, a carpenter and the fictional
creator of Pinocchio, is about to hammer the poor puppet. Pinocchio wants only
to be a real boy, but first he must prove himself truthful and be able to tell right
8 from wrong. Otterness explores this complicated relationship between the
creator and his creation.
