Brookgreen Gardens in Murrells Inlet,
SC, Offers Sculpture Exhibits
Brookgreen Gardens, just South of Murrells Inlet, SC, is presenting two new sculpture exhibitions including: Good Things Come in Small Packages: Medallic and Relief Sculpture and The Bronze Zoo: Anna Hyatt Huntington and Exotic Animals. Both exhibits, on view in the Rainey Sculpture Pavilion at Brookgreen Gardens, will be on view through June 15, 2008.
Good Things Come in Small Packages: Medallic and Relief Sculpture presents a wide variety of beautiful and interesting medallic art and other examples of bas-relief. The art of bas-relief is one of the oldest forms of sculpture, having been used for thousands of years. The most easily accessible examples of bas-relief today are the coins in your pocket, an example that "good things come in small packages".
A major animal sculptor of the Twentieth Century, Anna Hyatt Huntington (1876-1973) created a wide range of works featuring exotic animals. She depicted hundreds of exotic animals in sculpture, such as elephants, lions, zebras, monkeys, and macaws. The Bronze Zoo: Anna Hyatt Huntington and Exotic Animals presents a selection of her work from 1906 through 1964 and was made possible by a generous gift from The Friends of Brookgreen Gardens.
Brookgreen Gardens, a National Historic Landmark
and non-profit organization, is one of the largest collections
of outdoor sculpture in America. This preeminent collection of
American representational sculpture includes - 560 works by 240
artists - representing such well-known artists as Charles Parks,

Hyatt Huntington.
