Known for his direct wood carvings, and considered one of the greatest 20th century figurative sculptors, Gross (1904-1991) was also a profoundly inventive draughtsman and watercolorist. The exhibit, from the Renee and Chaim Gross Foundation, includes selected works that span more than 70 years of Gross' career. Also included are five sculptures from local private collections and five Arnold Newman photographs on loan from the Howard Greenberg Gallery in New York, courtesy Augusta Newman.
