Art exhibition extended
"Private Visions, Utopian Ideals: The Art of Howard Ben Tré" will remain on view in the UB Anderson Gallery an additional month, closing on Aug. 14.
Howard Ben Tré is recognized internationally for his unique glass sculptures and large-scale works of art for public and private spaces. His sculptures reference historical architectural forms, industrial shapes and Eastern ceremonial artifacts while gracefully moving spectators into the 21st century with their futuristic components.
"Private Visions, Utopian Ideals" includes sculptures, works on paper and a selection of drawings, models and photographs of Ben Tré's public art projects.
In addition, a video of an interview with the artist and documentation of glass being cast is on display in the Anderson Gallery foyer.
The UB Anderson Gallery, located on Martha Jackson Place near Englewood and Kenmore avenues, is open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday and 1-5 p.m. on Sunday.
The exhibition is free and open to the public.
