Highlights From the Sculpture Collection August 10, 2008

The works in this collection represent many of the major developments in American sculpture. Examples range from the neoclassical and Beaux-Arts styles of the nineteenth century, through the pioneering modernism of the early twentieth century, up to the eclecticism of the contemporary scene. The Montclair Art Museum has many fine examples of wall reliefs, assemblages and sculpture in the round, fabricated from such materials as marble, bronze, terracotta, wood, plastic and found objects. Artists represented in the diverse collection include Augustus Saint-Gaudens, Daniel Chester French, Thomas Ball, Elie Nadelman, Chaim Gross, Theodore Roszak, George Segal, Louise Nevelson and Mel Edwards.
