Herbert Ferber: Sculpture as a Metaphor for an Idea

The exhibition is dedicated to one of the leading abstract expressionist sculptors, Herbert Ferber (1906-1991), active in the fervent New York of the forties and fifties. Ferber transforms the formal elements into plastic qualities, connoted as considerably modulated and chromatically active surfaces, which at the same time are as valid as handwriting, field lines that cleave the internal volume of the shape, giving it a new dynamism that frees it from gravitational bonds and a sense of movement conveyed by the perfect balance of moments and pauses.
