First Limited Edition Sculpture by Arlene Shechet
Artspace is pleased to announce a new brass multiple by visionary sculptor Arlene Shechet, entitled New Dawn. Shechet's first limited edition sculpture 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 pays homage to the towering sculpture Dawn on view in her critically acclaimed solo exhibition Girl Group on view at Storm King Art Center in New York’s Hudson Valley. Proceeds from the sale of this edition will support Storm King Art Center’s artistic program and mission to nurture a vibrant bond between art, nature, and people.
Limited Edition Brass Sculpture
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.
“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
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.
