Exhibit
1951

This page presents examples selected from the first (and last) national juried exhibit of contemporary American sculpture conducted by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, organized by their first curator of contemporary American art, Robert Beverly Hale. (now best known for his books and videotapes on anatomy) Hale's essay from the catalog and the complete list of jurors and exhibitors are found on the attached page

The exhibit included 101 pieces, of which 45 were pictured in the catalog ( 9 of which were non-figurative ). But Hale noted the ascendancy of the non-figurative in his essay: " And as this trend is so evidently the delight of youth and the despair of age it may be expected to increase."

The participants shown below are divided into two groups - the first group is the jury of prominent sculptors selected by Hale, while the second group are those who were approved by the jury.


Many in this second group were prominent sculptors as well, including Alexander Archipenko, Alexander Calder, Chaim Gross, Milton Hebald, Paul Manship, and Harry Rosin
