EXHIBITION
Nivola in New York: Figure in Field

Opening Reception Thursday, January 23 | 6:30PM
Arthur A. Houghton Jr. Gallery

An exhibition of the work of Italian sculptor Constantino Nivola (1911-1988), known for his large-scale bas-reliefs, murals, and free-standing sculptural installations created in collaboration with architects. The exhibition is the first-ever to tell the story of Nivola's built New York City projects through maquettes and sculptures, original drawings, site-specific photographs, and related ephemera. The exhibition also features a timeline outlining 62 projects that Nivola made in collaboration with architects over approximately 40 years. This exhibition is organized in collaboration with the Costantino Nivola Foundation.

New York is home to the largest gathering of Nivola's public artworks - 21 pieces across all five boroughs, at least 17 of which still exist. In addition to the exhibition, The Cooper Union will present a variety of related programming (dates to follow), including a panel on the role of public art, as well as off-site educational workshops, a free pocket guide and tours of Nivola's work throughout the city.

This exhibition is free and open to the public.
