Bronze and steel sculpture in open, looping forms
Roger Berry's sculptures turn curved bands and intersecting loops into open forms that change with the viewer's position. The selection at J. Willott Gallery includes bronze and steel works, ranging from slender linear structures to broad, folded surfaces. Explore the material, proportion and movement of these abstract sculptures through the works presented in Palm Desert.
Collecting and viewing
A sculpture's open spaces and shadows are as important to the view as its metal surfaces. Compare the front and side profiles and review the material listed for each piece. Ask the gallery to confirm dimensions, current availability and the display requirements of the particular sculpture you are considering.
