Red Tower, Nancy Frankel, 2018. Wood. Courtney of the artist.
Studio Gallery sculptor Nancy Frankel is pleased to announce a retrospective exhibition of her work at the American University Museum, Kaizen Arts Center. This retrospective of seven decades of work by the Washington, D.C.-based sculptor celebrates the artist on her ninetieth birthday. Working in various media since the 1950s - including wood, Plexiglas, plaster, design cast, and steel - Frankel has explored a fundamentally geometric vocabulary, often with a sense of playfulness. In addition to her freestanding works in three dimensions, a few of her many graphite drawings and tempera paintings will be represented, as well as one of her large wall reliefs. The exhibition is sponsored by the William Meredith Foundation.
Exhibition Dates: January 26-March 17, 2019
Opening Reception: January 26, 6-9 pm. Free and open to the public. Learn more.
