David Hayes: Small Sculpture and Gouache Studies at Lowe Art Museum

Through Jul 31, 2016

A focused micro-exhibit, this show highlights the work of artist David Hayes, who is remembered for his monumental cut-steel sculptures that have been featured in some 300 exhibitions both domestically and abroad. It includes six pairs of preparatory drawings and maquettes, or models, for Hayes’s full-sized colorful works, and sheds light on the sculptor’s artistic process, both intellectual and aesthetic, revealing the creative ebb and flow of Hayes’ thinking as he moved from gouache on paper to cut metal forms.

David Hayes b.Hartford, Connecticut and received an A.B. degree from the University of Notre Dame in 1953 and a M.F.A. degree from Indiana University in 1955 where he studied with David Smith. He had had 400 exhibitions and is included in over 100 institutional collections including those of the Museum of Modern Art and the Guggenheim Museum in New York.
