Lori Bookstein Fine Art is pleased to announce an exhibition of new sculpture by Willard Boepple. This is the artist's fifth solo show at the gallery.

This exhibition will be comprised of recent sculptures from the “Trestles” series. Karen Wilkin writes of the work:

Boepple approaches architectural scale in these shambling, animated constructions, which at once evoke industrial artifacts and creatures able to move under their own power. The delimiting frameworks of the “Looms” and “Trestles” and the instantly recognizable supports of the “Ladders,” have here been subsumed by loose-jointed assemblies of linear elements that seem potentially mobile. At the same time, we are aware of the industrial underpinnings of these exuberant sculptures, faint echoes of utilitarian objects constructed with iron beams that return us to the origins of Boepple’s approach to sculpture, when Picasso and González, for the first time, made works of art using the same techniques that were used to build motorcars and tall buildings.
