The Gadsden Arts Center is honored to host
Mark Lindquist, a
forty-year retrospective exhibition of the work of this legendary
woodturner and wood sculptor. Recipient of the 2010 Lifetime
Achievement Award from the American Association of Woodturners and a
Fellow of the American Craft Council, Lindquist’s tireless
exploration of the expressive possibilities of this medium has
helped to define its past, present, and future in the fine art
world. In 1995, the Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian American Art
Museum honored Lindquist by hosting his 25-year retrospective
exhibition. His work has been acquired by major museums in the
United States and Europe including the Victoria and Albert Museum
(London), Smithsonian American Art Museum (Washington, DC), High
Museum of Art (Atlanta, GA), and Metropolitan Museum of Art (New
York). The exhibition will present the broadest range of Lindquist’s
work ever seen in one venue, a major cultural event for our region. |
