This exhibiton celebrates the arc of Anthonisen’s artistic career spanning 65 years as a figurative sculptor. Well versed in history and current events, Anthonisen (b. 1936) creates visual dialogues, primarily in bronze, that investigate the human condition and people’s capacity to destroy, to create, to question, and to make noble choices. He is known for his thoughtful and sometimes haunting content and for championing the elegance and strength of the female form.

The perfect exhibition to enjoy this spring, featuring over 40 bronze sculptures, maquettes, and frescoes on view inside the Museum and outdoors in the sculpture garden. This exhibition recognizes the sculptor’s significant career and presence in the regional arts community. It will be accompanied by a richly illustrated catalogue.

George R. Anthonisen: Meditations on the Human Condition is guest curated by Lisa Tremper Hanover.
