The National Gallery of Canada hosts to 6 May 2007 an exclusive Canadian presentation of the work of renowned contemporary sculptor Ron Mueck. This exceptional Australian artist, a virtuoso of hyper realistic sculpture, has earned in a few years international recognition, from London, to Venice and Washington. In Ottawa, the exhibition is presented by the National Gallery of Canada Foundation.

The sculptures and large-scale installations of Australian artist Stephen Birch are the focus of a new exhibition at the MCA this autumn, Stephen Birch: looking out my back door. The Sydney-based artist, who was born in Melbourne in 1961, creates works that unsettle our sense of the familiar and transform everyday objects, drawing viewers into parallel worlds.

Artists Virgil Marti and Pae White, in their first museum collaboration, transform the Hirshhorn's lobby into an immersive environment of color, light and texture. The exhibition includes sculptures in the form of functional couches covered by rich tapestries that employ the technique of tromp l'oeil; bright, ornate chandeliers; a boldly patterned window treatment; and a dramatic gold "bone curtain."

The City of Philadelphia announced at a press conference today the completion of a groundbreaking laser conservation project to enhance and preserve Alexander Milne Calder's eight monumental bronze sculptures on City Hall's tower.

Scott M. Black, a long-term supporter of the MFA, is a collector of Impressionist, Post-Impressionist, and early Modern paintings and sculpture.

This exhibition includes nearly 100 Italian sculptures from the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston--many of which have never been on view to the public. This survey showcases masters of the period as well as other lesser known artists in a variety of mediums including marble, bronze, silver, terra-cotta and wood.
