Antone's Sculpture, Penetration of the Wind, completed at a sculpture symposium in Guilin, China in 1998 was recently relocated to the Shanghai Sculpture
Park(SSP), a newly developed sculpture park, which has been open to the public since May, 2005.
The park is surrounded by the Sheshan Mountains and encircling the Yue Hu Moon Lake, with more than 50 large scale sculptures set sensitively in 214 acres of magical surroundings. Yu Hu Museum of Art in the park is one of the best contemporary art museums in Shanghai. Varied and changing exhibitions are organised there throughout the year.With the World Expo scheduled for 2010 in Shanghai, the SSP is sure to be a popular attraction for art lovers from around the world.
Sculpture Park seeks to establish an international reputation in the field of contemporary sculpture, through acquisition and exhibition of Sculpture. The sculpture park is developing a collection of contemporary sculpture in conjunction with the Yu Hue Museum of Art, and providing an education service to the local community fostering a deeper understanding of the art of Sculpture in a contemporary setting.
Since 1997, more than 200 large sculptures have been created both in Guilin and Shanghai. Some sculptures in Guilin, including Antone's sculpture, Penetration of the Wind, have been moved to SSP for a better display. |
