The National Academy Presents The Paradox of Sculpture now through May
3, 2014
NEW YORK, April 23, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Rarely-seen early
works by iconic American masters Andy Warhol, Robert Rauschenberg,
John Chamberlain, Jim Dine, Roy Lichtenstein, and Jeff Koons are on
view at The National Academy, now thru May 3rd. The Paradox of
Sculpture juxtaposes pivotal early works by the art world's biggest
names, alongside debuts by exciting new voices honing their talents at
the Academy. Highlights from the renowned figures include Emballages
de Revues, an early wrapped magazine by Christo from 1962, the
deflated balloons of Warhol's Inflatable Silver Cloud Pillow from
1966, andRauschenberg's unfolding cardboard boxes French Fried/Captiva
Tile from 1971. More recent show stoppers include Jeff
Koons'Inflatable Flower Sculpture from2000. Debuts of note are Tess
O'Dwyer's aerial triptych in bronze Incest: Remnants of Violence, Jos
Stumpe's Keep Me Balanced, a work of concrete and steel, and Mary
Mattingly's whimsical Head over Heels in painted aluminum. The
juxtaposition of the ultra-famous and the yet-to-be-known creates the
show's dynamism. The show, curated by Filippo Fossati and Maurizio
Pellegrin, is free and open to the public.
The National Academy, founded in 1825, celebrates the genius of
American culture from the Romantic Age to the Digital Age. It is the
only organization that integrates a museum, art academy and
association of American artists and architects. Winslow Homer, George
Inness, Arshile Gorky, and Willem de Kooning are among the giants who
studied at the Academy.
