NEW YORK.- For the first time, Sotheby’s will present an exhibition of a single artist, the renowned sculptor, Bernar Venet, on the lush grounds of the Isleworth Golf & Country Club in Windermere, Florida, outside Orlando. From January through April 2008, approximately twenty-five monumental sculptures will showcase the artist’s work of the last two decades, highlighting some of his most distinctive themes. These include Arcs, Straight Lines, Angles and Indeterminate Lines, many of them for sale. Executed by Venet at a foundry and ironworks in the Vosges mountains, they range in size from 6 to 35 feet, and have been referred to as “drawings in space.” Venet’s bold sculptures have been exhibited in galleries, museums and public places around the world, from Paris to Nice, Madrid to Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aires to Tel Aviv, Berlin to Hong Kong, Seoul to Shanghai. In the United States, his work has been prominently seen in New York, Washington D.C., Miami, San Francisco, Denver, Austin and Chicago.
