Boaz Vaadia, the internationally acclaimed sculptor, has amassed a prodigious body of work over his 40-year artistic career. With Boaz Vaadia: Sculpture, Grounds For Sculpture in Hamilton, New Jersey, will present the first retrospective exhibition of his indoor and outdoor works, a comprehensive presentation of the artist’s journey from abstraction to figuration. Detailing 125 works installed in two buildings and around the 42-acre sculpture park, the exhibition’s color catalogue presents Vaadia’s ritualistic and highly personal early works, his later sculptures in stone, slate, and bronze, and his most recent explorations of the ancient genre of bas-relief. With the global recognition his art has received, he continues working at the edge, discovering new possibilities in the constantly shifting grounds of his sculpture. Boaz Vaadia: Sculpture is a celebration of the artist’s long and prolific career, and his unwavering advancement of his art.
