Museum Director and Principal Curator, Wayne Higby and Museum Guest Curator, Anne Currier will lead a gallery walk through of the Reuben Nakian: The Impassioned Gesture exhibition on Thursday, October 19 at 4:30pm in the Alfred Ceramic Art Museum

Reuben Nakian is best known for his large-scale bronze sculptures. However, Nakian left for posterity a large, highly significant body of work in the ceramic medium. It is this less recognized, but unquestionably important work the Alfred Ceramic Art Museum is celebrating.

The Alfred Ceramic Art Museum, built with a gift from Marlin Miller, Jr., ’54, HD ’89, creates a signature building for the arts on the Alfred University campus. Located on Pine Street at the site of the old Davis Gym, the brick building with its sweeping expanses of glass and dramatic roof lines echoes the lines of the Miller Performing Arts Center and the Miller Theater, also designed by Architect Bruce Wood of Kallmann McKinnell and Wood Architects, Boston.
