Prominent Berkshire sculptor Andrew DeVries installed 25 of his largest bronze sculptures, rarely seen in one location, around the environs of the historic district in Lenox, MA. Having recently undergone a million dollar renovation that greatly enhanced its classic New England character, this popular New England tourist mecca was home for these figurative works from May 29th through November 1st of 2010. This was the largest public display of one individual sculptor’s work ever exhibited in Lenox and was a dramatic milestone on an artistic journey that began three decades ago.

Andrew’s
sculptures have received awards from the National Sculpture
Society and have been included in their exhibitions in both
New York and Serravezza Italy. Andrew has also exhibited in
Boston, The Berkshires, New York City, Florida and Colorado.
His sculptures and pastels can also be viewed at DeVries Fine
Art International, located at 62 Church Street in Lenox (413~637~3462). |

His work
is privately collected throughout the world covering over a
dozen countries as well as a number of public collections here
in the United States, Ireland, and Germany.
For many years Andrew was the summer resident artist at the
Chesterwood Museum in Stockbridge, MA. He has also given numerous
casting demonstrations for other museums in the United States.
In 2007 he completed a residency at the Tyrone Guthrie
Center in Ireland and in 2008, a year-long outdoor exhibit in downtown Northampton MA.

One of the many things that sets Andrew apart from other sculptors
is that he casts and finishes all of his bronze sculptures himself at his foundry studio in Middlefield, MA. Andrew specializes
in the ancient process of lost wax casting, a process that dates
back over 5,000 years. As both an artist and an artisan Andrew
brings 30 years of expertise to each detailed step of this ancient
method. Come and enjoy the sculptures for yourself, and be sure and stop by Andrew's gallery at 62 Church St. to say hello! |
