Hans van de Bovenkamp: A Hamptons Sculpture Tour

Louis K. Meisel Gallery is pleased to announce “Hans Van de Bovenkamp: A Hamptons Sculpture Tour.” This special and unique socially-distanced exhibition features an outdoor presentation of abstract sculptures by the distinguished Dutch-born artist, who lives and works in Sagaponack. The tour includes more than a dozen artworks that have been publicly installed in Water Mill, Bridgehampton and Sagaponack, largely along a few miles of Montauk Highway.

Working primarily with bronze, nautical stainless steel, and aluminum, Van de Bovenkamp’s sculptures are often inspired by myth, symbol, and nature. Renowned for his monumental sculpture created primarily for open-air public locales, the artist has been described as an artist-mystic whose work — with its signature power, lyricism, and grand proportions — heightens the viewer’s sense of fantasy, imagination, and discovery.

This tour features a variety of outdoor sculptures by the artist, including works from his Monolithic and Menhir series, as well as a large-scale portal measuring 24 feet wide and 12 feet high. The works have been placed in front of businesses and residences, situated as they are meant to be viewed. Installations also include a long-term loan at the Bridgehampton Child Care and Recreation Center on the Bridgehampton-Sag Harbor Turnpike and multiple works that are on display at the Sagaponack Sculpture Field, the final stop on the route.

To visit the tour, visit Louis K. Meisel Gallery’s website, MeiselGallery.com. A printable brochure is available on the site with descriptions and directions to the sculptures. A Google Maps version of the tour is also available via mobile devices. All locations have available parking and the sculptures can be approached. The tour will be on view through Labor Day 2021.
