My favorite Richard Hunt, Slabs of the Sunburnt West (1975) at University of Chicago
There is something about heavy existential metal and by that I mean sculpture sited in public spaces.
Richard Hunt and Lee Kelly are both synonymous with heavy form art in their respective cities of Chicago and Portland so it should be interesting to hear them compare notes Thursday at PNCA. Both are lyrical but I liken Hunt to being more influenced by the Futurists like Boccioni and Kelly more to language, perhaps even the design of typefaces? Moderated by Pietro Belluschi's son Tony and his wife Marti since the two artists had interacted with the noted midcentury architect.
Artist conversation: May 28 6:30 - 8:30PM
