Chicago-based artist Richard Hunt, the first Black sculptor to receive a retrospective at New York’s Museum of Modern Art in 1971, created more than 160 public monuments nationwide and is considered one of the most remarkable sculptors of the 20th and 21st centuries. The “Richard Hunt: From Paper to Metal” exhibit highlights the prints Hunt produced during a 1965 residency at the Tamarind Lithography Workshop, a newly acquired sculpture made from Hunt’s signature direct-welded metal technique and 25 lithographs that have never been on view. Hunt created flat, two-dimensional prints that allude to his sculptural process and interest in skeletal structures. The Carter organized this exhibit to highlight Hunt’s dialogue between two-dimensional graphic ideas and three-dimensional welded sculptures, visionary works which helped propel American sculpture forward.
