East City Art: Nancy At Ninety: A Retrospective of Form and Color
The Washington Sculptor: Featured WSG Member, Nancy at Ninety
This retrospective of seven decades of the work of Washington, DC sculptor Nancy Frankel will celebrate her ninetieth birthday in 2019. Working in various media since the 1950s—including wood, Plexiglas, Hydrocal, design cast, and steel—Frankel has explored a fundamentally geometric vocabulary, with moments of whimsy, the title of one of the works in this show. In addition to her freestanding works in three dimensions, a few of her many graphite drawings and tempera paintings will be represented, as well as a large wall relief.
This exhibition is sponsored by The William Meredith Foundation.
