Los
Angeles, CA – Among America’s most pioneering, and yet,
enigmatic sculptors of the 20th Century is Reuben Nakian, whose works
are the subject of an exhibition at Jack
Rutberg Fine Arts, located at 357 N. La Brea Avenue in
Los Angeles. The exhibition is currently on view through March 20, 2010.
“Reuben Nakian –
Sculpture and Works on Paper,” features nearly 50 works – some on
loan from museum and private collections – including 30 sculptures plus select
original prints and drawings. The exhibition spans work ranging from his
provocative 1943 portrait of Marcel Duchamp – when Nakian took a decidedly
independent stylistic shift – to Nakian’s iconic sculptures and drawings
inspired by Greek mythology.
