Gallery Paule Anglim is pleased to present new work by Deborah Butterfield in two
related exhibitions, one outdoors featuring four large bronze sculptures and the
second at the gallery providing an overview of small sculptures in various media:
bronze, found metal and copper.
The outdoor presentation at 425 Market Street, a private plaza in downtown San
Francisco, will be the site of four horse sculptures. The compositions, larger than
life, made from wood pieces and stone and cast in bronze, will provide an
environment of contemplation and retreat in the contrast of their contained
expression of rest against the urban architecture and activity. Butterfield uses
the horse form as a figure for the other, the unknown that defines human experiences
of curiosity, empathy and understanding.
The Gallery Paule Anglim exhibition will feature a panorama of the artist's work in
a smaller scale. The horse figures (approx. 45" high) will be rendered in bronze,
found painted steel and other materials. A series of 5 small bronze sculptures,
made in Hawaii from thin sticks, appear as 3-dimensional drawings, cloud-like
essential equestrian forms.
The renowned artist's sculptures are represented in the permanent collections of the
Smithsonian Institution, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Walker Art Center, the
Whitney Museum of American Art, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Denver Art Museum,
the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and the Dallas Museum of Art, among other
noted institutions.
Reception: July 16, 5:30 - 7:30pm
