Powers... in 3D!

Powers was constantly experimenting with different media and techniques.  Towards the end of his life he was still trying new things and new forms of expression.  In the early 90's, Powers created a series sculpted mixed media pieces.  Many of these were done as shadow boxes and contained painted elements as well as the sculpts.  I believe the sculpted elements were done with wire and terracotta.  I acquired this particular piece (40x26x5.5) from the Powers estate through Jane Frank, and I was told it was the first of Powers' sculpted piece sold.  They are fragile and the estate was concerned.  I'm happy to report it survived the trip!  Since then, more of Powers sculpted pieces have been offered.

You can see them through the Baldwin Hill Gallery http://www.baldwinhillframing.com/more-about-richard-powers/
