Artspace is pleased to announce a new brass multiple by visionary sculptor Arlene Shechet, entitled New Dawn.

Shechet’s first limited-edition sculpture, New Dawn joins an impressive body of work by an artist who has been celebrated for her ingenuity and versatility over several decades. Featuring alternating brushed and polished brass finishes, New Dawn’s interplay of surface textures creates an array of effects in a monochrome palette. The edition has also been designed for versatility, and can be displayed as a wall-mounted relief or a freestanding object.

“Gravity is something people talk about seeing or feeling in large sculpture, but I wanted very much to have a sense of it when holding the edition. It’s a satisfying weight. You can feel and experience it’s ‘objectness’, and its material.” —Arlene Shechet

Shechet has immersed herself in diverse materials—from plaster and wood to ceramic and steel—since the 1990s, creating sculptures that range from intimate to monumental in scale. Her new edition pays homage to the towering sculpture Dawn on view in her critically acclaimed solo exhibition on view at Storm King Art Center in New York’s Hudson Valley. Proceeds from the sale of New Dawn will support Storm King Art Center’s artistic program and mission to nurture a vibrant bond between art, nature, and people.

“I chose this relief from the others in Girl Group at Storm King because it has planes and lines and texture. That’s almost the whole vocabulary of the large sculptures shrunk into a small, very special thing.” —Arlene Shechet

Shechet has been the subject of many solo exhibitions, including All At Once (2015)—a major survey of her work at The Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston—and her current exhibition at Storm King Art Center. About the monumental new sculptures featured in Girl Group, Art in America noted, “These knockout works are only the latest, if possibly the greatest, evidence of Shechet’s insatiable curiosity.”
