Among the most flexible of sculptural media, plaster has been used since antiquity to create both original works and replicas, both as a medium in its own right and as a preliminary stage in the production of works in other media. To coincide with an installation of plaster sculpture from the Nasher Collection, a panel of art historians and artists will discuss the history and materiality of plaster.
Presented in collaboration with the Edith O’Donnell Institute of Art History, University of Texas at Dallas.
