A black-tie gala celebrating the achievement will be held on April 29, 2009 at the Chicago CulturalCenter.
Richard Hunt (b. 1935) has had a long, prosperous career with deep ties to Chicago.
We are excited to exhibit not only new sculptural works, but also Huntʼs lithography. Less known than his sculptural works and maquettes, Huntʼs lithography is whimsical, colorful and strong. They exhibit a sense of experimentation wholly different from that of his welded and cast works. But just like the visions that his hands,hammers and torches create, Huntʼs lithography, with a thoughtful and deliberate touch, reveals the inner workings of a contemporary master.
At the David Weinberg Gallery we believe that our passion for art is the critical element to our success. We consistently produce thematic and objective shows that seek to challenge casual viewers and dedicated collectors alike. The core of our gallery's integrity lies in our highly educated and deeply motivated staff. We are committed to our unique and ever growing education program that establishes us as an innovative collaborator and leader in the gallery community. We showcase important work from emerging to well-established artists and lay a foundation for understanding the value of art. Emphasizing contemporary works in all media forms, the David Weinberg Gallery works in tandem with artists, educators and creative institutions to generate an exchange of ideas that educates and raises social consciousness.
A wonderful artist!
