THE LEIBER COLLECTION
INVITES VISITORS TO ITS SCULPTURE GARDEN
While the Leiber Collection is well-known to lovers of art and fashion, fewer people are familiar with the Collection’s sculpture garden. Placed with an artist’s sense of composition in a verdant landscape of trees, shrubs, and flowering plants are sculptures by the following artists: William King, Hans Van de Bovenkamp, Constantino Nivola, Ronnie Chalif, Calvin Albert, Jun Kaneko, and Gerson Leiber.
William King’s sculptures span countless media and are generally devoted to figurative portrayals of the human figure. Hans Van de Bovenkamp is renowned for his large sculptures created primarily for open-air public locales. Constantino Nivola’s sand- casted sculptures have been described as bas-relief sculptures in concrete, combining sculpture with architecture. Ronnie Chalif’s abstract sculptures have been inspired by the power and beauty of rocks and rock formations from many mountainous regions. Calvin Albert’s work combines abstraction and representation in figures that have a muscular form, and are noted for their spirit of serenity and tension. Jun Kaneko’s ceramic sculptures are a synthesis of painting and sculpture, displaying qualities that are enigmatic and elusive, restrained and powerful, eastern and western. Gerson Leiber is well known as a modernist painter and sculptor; he is represented in the sculpture garden by a large bronze, figurative piece on a concrete base; it is entitled The Human Condition. Modernism is the theme exemplified by his impressive body of paintings, prints, and sculptures.
Every Saturday, Sunday, and Wednesday, from 1 PM to 4 PM, visitors are invited, free of charge, to tour the Collection and the sculpture garden as well as other beautifully designed gardens on the property, and to enjoy one of East Hampton’s most prized aesthetic treasures.
The Leiber Collection is located at 446 Old Stone Highway, East Hampton, NY. Its web address is www.leibercollection.org, and the phone number is 631-329-3288.
