John Storrs: Machine Age Modernist
- June 12, 2011 07:57
John Storrs: Machine-Age Modernist, is on view at the Grey Art Gallery of New York University, April 12 through July 9, 2011. There is a wonderful range of sculpture -- from cubist but still clearly figurative works, to stripped down, architectural-motif columns. There are several drawings, including some preparatory to commissions.
As we were reminded in March, no visit to Chicago is complete without seeing Storr's Ceres, 1929, at the top of the Chicago Board of Trade Building.
