John Chamberlain’s tireless pursuit of discovery and his intuitive process distinguish him as one of the most important American sculptors of our time. John Chamberlain : Choices comprises nearly 100 works, from his earliest monochromatic welded iron-rod sculptures to the large-scale foil creations of recent years. This presentation encompasses Chamberlain’s shifts in scale, materials, and methods, informed by the assemblage aesthetic that has been central to his artistic practice.
