Anthropomorphosis: Giving a Face to the Abstract in Art
An exhibition featuring the works of master stone carver Robert Assié alongside key sculptures and artifacts in the Museum of Antiquities collection.
Anthropomorphosis will explore the manner in which the abstract takes on human forms in art. Concepts of nature, virtues and the divine from the ancient world and the modern will cross paths to present a unique array of stunning and iconic images.
