Press Release

New York, New York – The National Sculpture Society is pleased to present LOVE. This on-line exhibition features the works of 61 members of NSS.

LOVE is part of National Sculpture Society’s continuing series of on-line exhibitions. The show explores the many facets of love from the initial sparks of romance to the passion of a physical embrace to the enduring bonds of family. Expressions of love in the animal kingdom are open to three-dimensional interpretation as well as universal gestures and symbolic tokens of love. Highlights of the show include a swing dancing nymph; nesting love birds; couples young and old; and a baby-besotted earth mother. The exhibition includes public monuments as well as miniature works, and the materials run the gamut from traditional bronze, to carved wood and marble, to terracotta. The styles and subject matter reflect the diversity of NSS members.

National Sculpture Society was founded in New York City in 1893 by a group of America’s most prominent sculptors. Its members have created much of this country’s public sculpture, coins, and medals since the late 1800s. It is the oldest organization of professional sculptors in the United States, and has been hosting exhibitions for over a century.
