Two Sculptures by Ursula von Rydingsvard"},"content":{"rendered":"

The Philadelphia Museum of Art has installed two monumental sculptures by Ursula von Rydingsvard.\u00a0Bronze Bowl with Lace<\/em>\u00a0(2013\u201314, cast 2017\u201318) and\u00a0Elegantka II<\/em> (2013\u201314, cast 2016) will be on view over the course of the next year in the Anne d\u2019Harnoncourt Sculpture Garden. Standing between 10 and 20 feet tall, these sculptures convey the artist\u2019s complex approach to scale, material and technique. Bronze Bowl with Lace<\/em>\u00a0was cast from a full-scale cedar model. The top of the bronze is perforated and delicately lit from within, its soft amber light illuminating the evening sky.\u00a0Elegantka II<\/em> is a urethane resin cast of another full-scale cedar model. The spiral form undulates from its narrow base through a knotty midsection and into its voluminous crown. The Museum\u2019s presentation of this artist\u2019s work coincides with the exhibition\u00a0Ursula von Rydingsvard:<\/em>\u00a0The Contour of Feeling<\/em> presented at The Fabric Workshop and Museum, guest-curated by Mark Rosenthal, which focuses on von Rydingsvard\u2019s artistic development since 2000. Many of the works have not been exhibited in the United States before. *<\/p>\n
