Gesture, force, balance
Eleven works that use posture, balance, and composition to describe movement: throwing, falling, wrestling, dancing, and walking.
↗Rulers, protectors, ancestors
Across time and place, sculpture has represented authority through scale, posture, material, costume, and religious or political symbols.
↗Devotion, protection, passage
Works associated with prayer, protection, remembrance, and passage. They come from distinct traditions and should be understood in relation to their original settings.
↗Fragments, casts, afterlives
A missing limb, an isolated head, a surviving relief, and a cast after a distant original. These works show how sculpture is changed by damage, copying, and collection history.
