New Sculpture

Gary Snyder Gallery is pleased to announce Richard Van Buren: New Sculpture, an exhibition of new works in thermoplastic at 529 West 20th Street. Opening on November 10, 2011, the exhibition is Van Buren’s first in a New York gallery in almost ten years. Eighteen of the artist’s swirling abstract sculptures will be on view, including a thirteen-foot wall piece, Botticelli’s Revenge (2011), and Walking with Garth (2011), a twenty-four-foot floor piece—Van Buren’s largest and most ambitious works to date. A fully illustrated catalogue will accompany the exhibition, with an essay by Klaus Kertess.

The exhibition and its accompanying publication offer an in-depth look at the artist’s work over the past three years—Technicolor biomorphs in thermoplastic and acrylic paint, adorned with natural materials, as seen in works such as Rogue Bluffs (2010), Gatekeeper (2011), and Olongapo (2011).
