OPENING RECEPTION: Judith and Tom Neugebauer: Jewelry and Ceramics
WHEN: Sunday, November 17, from 2 to 4 PM
WHERE: Hunterdon Art Museum, 7 Lower Center St., Clinton
ADMISSION: free, and refreshments will be served. Husband and wife artists Judith and Tom Neugebauer have inspired each other's work for years, but their upcoming exhibition at the Museum will be the first time their art has appeared together. In this joint exhibition, you can observe this cross influence in Tom's larger abstract clay and metal sculptures, and how the sweeping lines of the metal are reminiscent of the swirling designs of Judith's jewelry. Judith's previous career in classical ballet and theater gave her a heightened awareness of form, line and movement that helped inspire her when creating her unique jewelry designs. Judith's work is nationally recognized and has been exhibited in fine craft galleries nationwide. She also exhibits in the American Craft Council Show in Baltimore and at many other craft shows along the east coast. Many of Tom's ceramic forms feature classical references from Native American to Asian works. While texturing emphasizes the softness of the clay and brings the surface to life, there's a touch of serendipity involved in the final outcome. "Each piece develops its own unique look," Tom said. "You influence the results; you don't control it." To read more, visit our website. On Sale in Our Lobby: After viewing the exhibition, take home a one-of-a-kind work of art by the Neugebauers!
