Jaume Plensa: A New Humanism: Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park, Grand Rapids, Michigan
-
Galerie Lelong is pleased to announce that Jaume Plensa: A New Humanism is now on view at Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The first retrospective of the internationally acclaimed artist in the United States, this exhibition will remain on view through March 15, 2026.
Featuring both monumental and intimately scaled sculptures and select two-dimensional works that span four decades, Jaume Plensa: A New Humanism explores Plensa's career-long engagement with themes common to our shared humanity such as dreams, desire, justice and mortality. While Plensa's oeuvre is marked by diversity in format and media, the human condition remains the primary subject of his art, which traverses the personal and collective, individual and universal.
Plensa's creative quest is fueled by a highly inquisitive mind, and one of his prime assertions is, "Sculpture is the best way to ask questions." The questions he poses within his sculpture center on what it means to be human. As such, the artist also partakes of the grand humanist tradition, which holds the interests and values of humanity at its core.
