Collection Connections: Judd Williams

Next time you're at MAG, stop by the Forman Gallery to see works by Lawrence "Judd" Williams, one of six regional artists featured in the 4th Rochester Biennial.

A keen observer of structure, Williams’s attentiveness to the richness inherent in familiar or overlooked forms refreshes our own ability to see. In the four-part sculpture Sledges and Piers (on the left-hand wall) he creates a new work using found materials that bear the marks, colors and wear of an earlier life. A nearby drawing (one of a series of 14) explores the form of a chair. All the works are from the Gallery's permanent collection.

The 4th Rochester Biennial is on view through September 26.
