HISTORY

From it's inception 14 Sculptors Gallery focused on the following objectives; To provide the opportunity to members and invited artists to exhibit original artwork on a regular basis; To meet regularly with other professionals for discussion and artistic exchange and to actively stimulate dialogue between the community, the artists and critical review.

By the mid-eighties our membership had grown to include artists from Europe and Asia as well as artists from diverse regions of the country. Our regular meetings were supplemented by long distance communications and 14 Sculptors became increasingly involved with outreach exhibitions, e.g. (In 1988 we coordinated an exhibition of South And North American Sculptors).

14 Sculptors Inc., maintains an active website which presents the artwork, biographies and artist statements of the current membership. We now look to diverse venues both within and outside the art establishment to create exhibition opportunities in keeping with our primary objectives; sustaining that window of "cogency and topicality of the group's work" while continuing our dialogue between artists and the community.

Since leaving a formal gallery setting our selected exhibitions include:

The Hammond Museum, N. Salem NY; Rockaway National Park and Highbridge Park, Manhatten under the Art in the Parks Program through competitive proposals; The Akin Museum, Pawling NY; Manhattanville College, Purchase, NY; Governors Island, NY; Xavier University, New Orleans, LA;  New Jersey City University, Jersey City, NJ;  Adelphi University, Garden City, NY;  Flushing Meadows Corona Park, Flushing, NY;  and The Matthews Mansion Museum and Park, Norwalk, CT.

Our upcoming exhibit “Anomaly” is dedicated to Dan Bergman (click here to see his member page), our dear friend and colleague, who passed away this January 2022. We will miss Dan’s incisive comments, his dry wit and creative spirit.

“Dan, himself was something of an anomaly; a man of dignity and order melded into a cacophony of magical chaos.” - Herb Rosenberg, fellow artist.
