Highlighting a small selection of works from the Museum’s collection, this gallery reflects the unfolding of new sculptural forms across the first half of the 20th century. Artists like Elie Nadelman, Henry Moore, and Maria Martins took inspiration from a variety of sources—from classical sculpture to folk art—to create innovative expressions of form. Made in distinct contexts, these sculptures in dialogue emphasize the artists’ different approaches to the figure.
Organized by Beverly Adams, Estrellita Brodsky Curator of Latin American Art with Rachel Remick, Curatorial Assistant.
