Film Screening: Working Metal in 20th-Century Sculpture

The films will screen in the order listed below and continuously through 4PM. Recordings of Bertoia’s sound sculptures can be heard in the Lynn Krywick Gibbons Gallery. These two films give a fuller picture of the visual and sonic richness of his direct metal sculpture practice.
