New York, NY – ‘John Henry: Poetic Builder’ opens at the Flomenhaft Gallery on April 28th 2011, with an opening Reception between 6 and 8 pm that day. The Flomenhaft Gallery is proud to exhibit the sculpture of John Henry, known world-wide for his boldly distinctive art.  Since the 1960’s Henry’s sculpture, both monumental and tabletop-size, has been defined by a minimalist and constructivist style, an incisive attitude toward composition united with an unerring harmony and grace. It is difficult to convey the magnitude of Henry’s accomplishments.  His awards and commissions include the National Endowment for the Arts, the Ford Foundation Educational Grant School of Art of the Art Institute of Chicago, the Alaska State Council on the Arts for the Anchorage International Airport, the Florida Art in State Buildings, and the Sonje Museum of Contemporary Art in Kyongju City, Korea, to mention just a few.  His works are in over fifty public collections and more than 200 private collections worldwide.
