In the Round: 20th Century Cape Ann Sculpture

April 6, 2024 — June 23, 2024

Drawing on its own collection and from private collections in the region, the Cape Ann Museum will present a special exhibition focusing on sculptors of Cape Ann. Featured will be the work of artists who gravitated around Charles Grafly, one of this country’s premiere sculptors of the early 20th century, including Walker Hancock, George Demetrios and Katharine Lane Weems. Sculptors who in turn followed in their footsteps will also be highlighted, including Lawrence Fane, Aristides Demetrios and James McClellan. As a special feature, the exhibition will include Morgan Faulds Pike’s plaster scale model for The Gloucester Fishermen’s Wives Memorial, a monumental bronze sculpture installed on Gloucester’s Stacy Boulevard, in 2001.
