“And she had a pose that was fascinating”: Harriet Whitney Frishmuth’s Models and Sculptures

Louise and Bernard Palitz Gallery

October 7, 2026 - February 4, 2027

This exhibition highlights a selection of American sculptor Harriet Whitney Frishmuth’s small bronze sculptures and preparatory sketches to explore her intimate, yet liberating depictions of the female form. Through the process of making these works, she befriended the dancers who served as her models and thus moved away from the static poses she learned during her classical training in Europe and America.
 
This exhibition is curated by Em Spencer, G’26.
