Outdoor Sculptures Reinstalled at Sheldon

Posted on September 4, 2009 in Arts & Entertainment 0 Comments

Tom Otterness’s Fallen Dreamer, a favorite artwork of many Museum visitors, was reinstalled on the east staircase Friday. While a guard at the American Museum of Natural History in New York, Otterness said he was impressed by the giant Olmec heads created by ancient Central American cultures.

Workers also reinstalled Bryan Hunt’s Arch Falls Friday. Hunt is well known for gestural bronze sculptures, notably waterfalls that convey the ephemeral effects of rippling, fluid surfaces in solid bronze.

Both artworks were moved to storage in 2007 to protect them during renovation of the Museum’s exterior.

Sheldon Museum of Art is open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and from noon to 5 p.m. Sunday. Admission is free.
