CATHERINE LEE: THE NEY PROJECT

February 22 through May 6, 2018
Opening reception Thursday February 22 at 6:30 PM
Artist's Talk Saturday February 24 from 2 - 3:30

Internationally-renowned artist Catherine Lee will be the feature of a new exhibition at the Ney Museum this Spring. An installation based upon her work past and present, the exhibition will be both indoors and outdoors, anchored by her monumental Hebrides #6: Clach An Trushal, which graces the grounds for an extended period thanks to a very special loan from the Contemporary Austin through its Museum Without Walls program. This exhibition will include monumental sculpture, paintings, smaller three-dimensional pieces, and more.

An internationally-exhibited master, Lee's work reflects time, permanence and majestic nature along with intimate reflections of ourselves.

The Contemporary Austin's Museum Without Walls program is made possible in part through support from the Edward and Betty Marcus Foundation.
