Tom Wesselmann "Objects of Desire"
Maxwell Davidson Gallery/Davidson Contemporary
This event has ended.
This is the eighth solo show for Wesselmann at the gallery, and is in collaboration with the Estate of the artist. "Objects of Desire" features examples of Wesselmannʼs three-dimensional work in a variety of media: sculptures, maquettes, steel cuts, and plastic works. As an exceptionally talented draftsman, colorist, and painter, Tom Wesselmann extended his personal craft as an artist into numerous other areas. He was constantly experimenting with new ideas and new media, always comfortable pushing the boundaries he was exploring. In particular, the plastic sculptures and the laser cut steel sculptures came out of his restless artistic personality. "Objects of Desire" includes work from every decade of the artistʼs career– some of his earliest still lifes still fresh after 50 years– alongside assorted signature Wesselmann subject matter: nudes, bouquets, cigarettes, smokers, and streamlined radios.
