Curated exhibitions / 05
Works in context.
Questions to consider.
Each exhibition brings a focused group of works together around a shared subject. Follow the sequence or open any work for its full record and 3D view.
01 Gesture, force, balance
Bodies in Motion
Eleven works that use posture, balance, and composition to describe movement: throwing, falling, wrestling, dancing, and walking.
02 Rulers, protectors, ancestors
Power & Presence
Across time and place, sculpture has represented authority through scale, posture, material, costume, and religious or political symbols.
03 Devotion, protection, passage
Sacred Forms
Works associated with prayer, protection, remembrance, and passage. They come from distinct traditions and should be understood in relation to their original settings.
04 Fragments, casts, afterlives
What Survives
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.
05 Carving, relief, ornament
The Work of the Surface
Ten works in which shallow relief, incised lines, drilled depth, modeled clay, and painted or carved ornament carry essential information.
