Art Historian Deborah Pollack will present her newest work Florida Sculptors and Their Work 1880-2020. Capturing the Sunshine State's essence, this well-researched and generously illustrated volume tells the fascinating stories of these creative people and reveals secrets behind their three-dimensional art—from realistic to abstract to folk art. Discover how Florida has inspired such world-renowned artists as Augusta Savage, Duane Hanson, Richard Anuszkiewicz, John Chamberlain, and Robert Rauschenberg, as well as lesser-known yet highly praised sculptors. Author Pollack is a former fine art dealer and the author of a number of award-winning publications who calls Palm Beach home.
Doors open at 6 p.m. for check-in and refreshments, the lecture begins at 6:30 p.m.
Admission is $10 for non-members, free for members of The Boca Raton Historical Society. Register in advance at: RSVP For Town Hall Talks (bocahistory.org).
