Description
November 10, 2008 – The Gerald Peters Gallery is pleased to announce Sculpture That Works, an exhibition of working sculpture, such as gates, fountains, vases, ashtrays and bookends by master sculptors whose creations blur the boundaries between fine arts and decorative arts. The exhibition runs from January 8th to February 7th at the Gerald Peters Gallery which is located at 24 East 78th Street. Regular gallery hours are Monday through Saturday 10am to 5 pm.

Paul Manship, Hunt Diederich and Carl Jennewein, as well as Rene Chambellan and Oronzio Maldarelli (represented by panels from the RKO Roxy Theater at Rockefeller Center) are among the early 20th Century sculptors included in this exhibition. Post-War and Contemporary artists will include Harry Bertoia, George Rickey, Wendell Castle, Claude Lalanne and Albert Paley. Paley will be represented with six models for recent projects -shown for the first time, together with working and presentation drawings and final installation photographs.

The exhibition promotes the continuing dialogue about design, technique, and creative instinct whether the artist intended the object to used or simply admired.

Peterswww.gpgallery.com Related Links:Gerald Peters Gallery, Santa FeGerald Peters Gallery, Dallas In 1992 Gerald Peters expanded the business to include a small gallery in New York. Operating from a townhouse on the Upper East Side, the gallery was initially envisioned to be a private showroom with a staff of two, with one or two public exhibitions a year. In 1997, the Gerald Peters Gallery further expanded its presence in New York with the purchase of the townhouse at 24 East 78th Street. This 5-story building incorporates two floors of exhibition space, several private viewing rooms, a library, storage facilities and offices.With a staff of 10, including 5 directors, an art registrar and a professional art handler, the gallery is able to produce several exhibtions a year, publish catalogues and deal in a wide range of American art (including the Hudson River School, American Impressionists and the American Modernists). Besides American paintings, drawings and sculpture, the gallery also specializes in modern European masters. Since the formal opening of the townhouse, the Gerald Peters Gallery has hosted several major exhibitions including those focusing in the works of Edward Potthast, Leon Kroll, and Albert Bierstadt.
