Colorful Sculpture
Sculpture can fascinate the viewer through color as well as the beauty of its materials - whether stone, metal, or wood. Sculpture can come in many colors. Modern-age bronze sculpture is often given a black patina. Marble is a lovely, translucent white. Carvings on some Japanese temples and shrines are painted in multiple gorgeous colors. Contemporary sculptors do not hesitate to use color as part of their three-dimensional expression. In this exhibition, we focus on color in modern and contemporary sculpture, showing the unique and diverse possibilities of sculptural expression.

Akagi. Marking the 20 anniversary of his death, we look back on Morifs achievements in stone sculpture.
