Many of these works have never been publicly exhibited before. The Sculpture Center, best known for its exhibitions of emerging artists, offers Private Collections to place the work of emerging artists in context with an informed look at what are considered more traditional forms. Private Collections will prompt discussion of what makes a lasting artistic impression and what led certain artists to success in their careers. Generous private collectors have loaned two- and three-dimensional works by sculptors with international reputations such as Isamu Noguchi, Claes Oldenburg, Arnaldo Pomodoro and Mark di Suvero, among others, as well as pieces by venerated Cleveland artists such as Viktor Schreckengost, William McVey, Edris Eckhardt and David E. Davis. Collectors have also loaned valuable works by local artists David Deming, Robert Thurmer, Terry Durst, Bruce Biro and Andrew Chakalis. The exhibition will open December 17, 2004 and run through January 21, 2005. The opening night reception will take place December 17 from 5:30 pm – 8:30 pm and will feature a gallery talk by the curator, noted art historian Professor Edward J. Olszewski. The cost for this special reception is $15 per person or $25 per couple.
