Exposition. George SEGAL, a Retrospective: Sculptures, Paintings, Drawings

19 février 1998 - 17 mai 1998

USA, Washington D.C., Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden

"The first North American retrospective in twenty years to honor New Jersey-based sculptor George Segal (b. 1924) comes to the Hirshhorn following its fall 1997 premiere showing at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts. Segal's focus on the human condition will be revealed in more than 60 works, including key examples of his signature white-plaster figurative tableaux--powerful images of urban alienation that helped establish the artist as a founder of Pop Art. Also on view will be Segal's diverse explorations in other media: early figure paintings and sumptuously colored pastels; painted reliefs of the human body; Cubist-inspired still-life sculptures; and from the 1990s, larger-than-life portrait drawings in pencil and pastel. After closing in Washington, the exhibition travels to the Jewish Museum in New York and the Miami Art Museum in Florida."
