Visual Arts Stories

What is a Sculpture Court?
Four sculptures of female forms are displayed on a light wooden platform: two full-figure statues in white and dark bronze, and two abstract, headless torsos in blue-green and teal patina. They are set in a plain gallery space.

What is a Sculpture Court?
