Herbert Simon Opening Reception
Thursday, November 21
5:00 p.m.–7:30 p.m.
The Everhart Museum is pleased to host a special opening reception for Herbert Simon: Sculptor… Painter… Printmaker… Master, a retrospective of the versatile artist’s life’s work, which is on view November 21–February 16 in the Museum’s Main Gallery.
The evening highlights Simon’s career and this culminating exhibition through remarks and an opportunity for attendees to meet the artist. Included with the cost of admission is light fare, with wine and beer available for purchase.
Herbert Simon: Sculptor… Painter… Printmaker… Master presents the wide breadth of the artist’s prolific and diverse output in all facets of his artistic quest. Born in Nashville, Tennessee, teaching and practicing throughout the United States, and finally settling in Northeastern Pennsylvania, Simon shifted from representationalism to pure abstraction, eventually arriving at a place somewhere between the two. Having studied with leading figures of abstraction including Hans Hofmann, Robert Motherwell, and Phillip Guston in the mid-century, and highly inspired by the industrial landscape of Northeastern Pennsylvania and simple everyday objects later, Simon developed an approach encompassing both styles to satisfy his vision.
There is no extra charge to attend this event, but regular Everhart Museum admission applies (see below). Light fare is included with the cost of admission, and there will be a cash bar featuring wine and beer. Registration is not required.
