Description
Join KANEKO and friends for the celebration and release of the Richard Hunt MONUMENTAL: Exhibition Catalogue and the closing of the Hunt Exhibition.
Enjoy a sit-down conversation between Jon Ott, Richard Hunt’s biographer, and Stephan Grot, KANEKO’s Executive Director. They will discuss Richard Hunt's sculptures within the exhibition that anchors observations and reflections on Richard's life, work, and career trajectory.
Wander through Richard Hunt: MONUMENTAL during its final closing event.
This exhibition seeks to ground this work within Hunt’s broader artistic practice and more critically contextualize his tremendous contributions to the history of American sculpture over the past seventy-five years. Organized by Dr. Marin R. Sullivan, guest curator, and KANEKO. The timing coincides with the celebration of Hunt’s work in the city of Omaha, which began in July 2022, when one of his large-scale sculptures was installed downtown as part of The Riverfront Revitalization Project and the Gene Leahy Mall.
Purchase the Richard Hunt: MONUMENTAL Catalogue.
A brand new, richly illustrated hardcover book, edited by Sullivan and published by KANEKO, featuring new perspectives on the monumental legacy of Richard Hunt and further exploring the themes of the exhibition. This catalogue was published in conjunction with the Richard Hunt: MONUMENTAL Exhibition at KANEKO in Omaha, NE (October 13, 2022 – February 5, 2023).
Catalogue Details: Forward by Stephan Grot, KANEKO Executive Director. Essays by Dr. Marin R. Sullivan, Ghenete Zelleke, and Dr. Andrew Wasserman.
The conversation begins at 7 pm.
