Jaume Plensa

Jaume Plensa: A New Humanism explores Jaume Plensa’s career-long engagement with themes common to our shared humanity such as dreams, desire, justice and mortality. While Plensa’s oeuvre is marked by his use of a diverse range of forms and materials, the human condition remains the primary subject of his art, which traverses the personal and the collective, the individual and the universal. Plensa's towering portrait sculptures are installed in the gardens, alongside his iconic seated figures, portrait busts, and other works in the Freyer-Newman galleries. The exhibition, which travels from the Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park (MI), features both monumental and intimate-scaled sculptures and select two-dimensional works from the last forty years, and is the first retrospective for the artist in the United States.

This exhibition is organized in partnership with Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
