Opening reception: ‘David Smith. Field Work’
Please join us for the opening reception of ‘David Smith. Field Work’. The exhibition is the eminent American artist’s debut solo show and has been conceived as four chapters of work spanning over three decades (from 1933 to 1964) that aim to demonstrate Smith’s diverse visual language and multifaceted creative process. Curated by the artist’s daughters Rebecca and Candida Smith, co-presidents of the David Smith Estate, the exhibition situates itself between the drawn image and sculpted form to investigate the relationship between the two parallel practices. For Smith, drawing was a natural form of expression, often produced alongside sculpture making and he would intuitively switch back and forth as a crucible for thought and innovation. This is a free event, no booking necessary.
