D.C.-based sculptor Raymond Kaskey, whose work includes architectural sculptures for the National WWII Memorial and the 38-foot Portlandia sculpture in Portland, Oregon, reinterprets classical themes and formal strategies to make them relevant for today’s society.

ASLA. This lecture complements the exhibition Cool & Collected: Recent Acquisitions, which is open to attendees before the talk.
