James Fuhrman: Contemplative Spaces
July 19 through October 26, 2008
Outdoor Sculpture Program, Doylestown
Philadelphia sculptor James Fuhrman's work ranges from large-scale public art
commissions to more meditative studio sculptures, drawings and prints. This
exhibition of cedar, oak and painted steel sculptures includes four of the
artist's recent works as well as one new piece created specifically for this exhibition.
"Fuhrman makes bold, archetypal objects, which ask the viewer to not only consider
his or her physical relationship to the work, but also to examine one's spiritual
place in the world," explains Kristy Krivitsky, the Museum's Associate Curator
of Contemporary Art. "These pieces are quiet, yet strong; simple, yet powerful."
The Museum's Outdoor Sculpture Program is sponsored by Fulton Bank. Annual
support for the Michener Art Museum is provided by the Pew Charitable Trusts,
the Bucks County Commissioners and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Council on the
Arts. Fabrication materials and installation for this exhibit were provided
by Brandywine Valley Fabricators, Coatesville, Pennsylvania.
