art current: A Greenleaf and a Gamble

 

Rockland's Farnsworth Art Museum has two wonderful sculptures installed outside their education center. Between them, Ken Greenleaf's Structure Nights (1987) and Edwin E. Gamble's Long Reach (1974) cover a great range of artistic inspiration, formal vocabulary, and surface treatment.
