— Running from June 18th through September 5th —
Old Westbury Gardens is pleased to host the return of a summer art exhibition featuring the work of internationally renowned sculptor Seward Johnson. The exhibit will feature three of the artist’s most popular series: “Celebrating the Familiar,” “Beyond the Frame” and “Icons,” including additional displays of the artist’s painted trays, maquettes of artwork never realized in bronze and choice works by his friend and colleague, artist Herk van Tongeren. On display throughout the historic Westbury House and the magnificent Gardens from June 18 to September 5, the exhibit will feature 35 individual pieces focusing on the sculptural commentary of day-to-day life and Johnson’s love of nature and French impressionism.
New to the exhibition is a selection from the artist’s “Icon” series, which explores familiar images portrayed in a different light, as well as the debut of a never-before-seen composition.
This special exhibit is only available at Old Westbury Gardens, and is free with admission to the Gardens.
