Details:
Rendering the human form in three dimensions is among the oldest forms of artistic expression. With Sculpture Court, the Walker transforms Gallery D/Perlman into an environment akin to the courtyards that have housed dynamic collections of figurative sculpture—originally outdoors and later inside encyclopedic museums—beginning in the 16th century. The presentation will draw on the Walker’s collection and feature artists such as Joan Miró, Oliver Laric, Bonnie Collura, Arlene Shechet, Rona Pondick, Mona Hatoum, and Jacques Lipchitz, establishing a continuity of artistic tradition into the present day. Many of the works will be on view for the first time since entering the Walker’s collection and will create a compelling connection to the expansive outdoor Sculpture Garden.
