SEE: RICHARD HUNT AT THE STUDIO MUSEUM

Richard Hunt: Framed and Extended, July 14th, 2016 - October 30th, 2016 at the Studio Museum,  144 West 125th Street between 7th Avenue and Lenox. Chicago-based sculptor Richard Hunt (b. 1935) is best known for his public commissions sited in more than 125 parks, schools and public areas across the nation, including the intersection of 125th Street and Morningside Avenue in New York, where the abstract forms of his Harlem Hybrid (1976) seem to draw together elements of the surroundings while creating a dynamic environment of their own.

Richard Hunt: Framed and Extended explores three lesser-known but integral aspects of Hunt’s art—printmaking, small-scale sculpture and wall sculpture—that share a vocabulary with the public commissions and express the same sense of lightness and vitality. The exhibition’s title, drawn from one of Hunt’s wall sculptures, testifies to the artist’s practice of sculpture as the three-dimensional counterpart to drawing: LINK
