Harry Bertoia: Free Interpretations celebrates the relocation of the artist’s 1967 sculpture Free Interpretation of Plant Forms to Woodmere’s grounds. The selection in this exhibition relates to six large-scale public commissions Bertoia completed between 1967 and 1975. They illuminate the artist’s intentions for these works, his exploration of scale, and his ideas about the interplay of sculptural elements, as well as his commitment to a language of abstraction inspired by the natural world.
