Since 1978, Chesterwood has featured outdoor sculpture exhibitions on its landscaped and wooded grounds.
While French's final full-size works can be found all across America, his studio is filled with smaller preliminary models. Exhibiting large-scale contemporary work at this site, which inspired the preeminent American sculptor of his day, helps bring to vivid life the continuities -- and discontinuities -- of American sculpture from the early twentieth to the early twenty-first centuries. Just as French was in his day, today's sculptors are deeply affected by the great natural beauty of Chesterwood.
All works in the exhibition will be for sale, but will remain at Chesterwood for the duration of the exhibition. An illustrated catalog will be available.
