Pigment International made a very special visit to iconic sculptor Richard Hunt’s studio in the Lincoln Park neighborhood. There we witnessed three generations of Black sculptors connect. Delaware based sculptors Aaron Paskins and his wife Gina were visiting as part of their attendance at the Fellowship Open in Milwaukee. They were joined by Sande Robinson, member of the Board of Trustees of the Milwaukee Art Museum (MAM) and former president of the African American Art Alliance (AAAA) and art consultant Don Roman.
