: Interacting with “Sage” (1988; cast in bronze) in the Water Garden; by Magdalena Abakanowicz. The sculpture that inspired the Sage cycle is entitled Figure on an Iron Seat, which depicts a seated adult form made from burlap. It was created by Abakanowicz in 1988, a period when the artist was also concentrating on multiple burlap castings of adolescent figures. When realized in bronze, the form was simplified–the hands placed on the figure’s lap melded into the knees and as a whole the figure became more abstract and monolithic. As in all of Abakanowicz’s works, each Sage is a unique casting, and evidence of the ceramic shell is allowed to remain on the roughly textured surface; no polishing or patinating process is performed. The placement of the headless Sage and Sage B on high, stepped blocks creates a physical and psychological distance between the seated figures and the viewer.

: PGK Art: On Claude Monet’s “The Japanese Footbridge”, at the Grounds for Sculpture In 1899–1900 Monet painted a series of at least seventeen views of the footbridge over the pond in his garden at Giverny. Thirteen were included in an exhibition of his work at the Durand-Ruel gallery in 1900. The arched bridge was probably modeled on a bridge depicted in one of the many Japanese prints that Monet collected.

: “Were You Invited?” (2001), painted bronze, 1/8, by J. Seward Johnson; a recreation of Pierre-Auguste Renoir’s “Luncheon of the Boating Party”

: Artistic Liberty! A portion of “Were You Invited?” (2001), painted bronze, 1/8, by J. Seward Johnson. Johnson took some liberty and inserted himself and his friends in that table. The man wearing a welding mask is Bill Barrett (a sculptor) seated next to another sculptor, Andrew Pitynski (“Partisans #2: Freedom Fighters”), wearing a brown hat and a moustache. To Pitynski’s right is Red Grooms, the humourous artist who created “Henry Moore in the Sheep Meadow”, who sits right next to a jolly J Seward Johnson himself. The title of the piece is, thus, “Were You Invited?”
