The Frostig Collection 2011

The Frostig Center is pleased to announce the unveiling of The Frostig Collection 2011 on Thursday, March 10, featuring four new limited-edition sculptures by four extraordinary artists:  David Buckingham, Chris Burden, Gwynn Murrill, and Chris Piazza. The 2011 Collection artists join Nancy Rubins, Ken Price, Frank Gehry, Ed Moses and many renowned artists who have created art works specifically for the Frostig Collection.

This year’s collection will make its public debut during a special reception held at the William Turner Gallery in Santa Monica from 6:30 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. Attendees will have the opportunity to meet many of the artists. For example, Chris Burden, the creator of “Urban Light,” the famous installation of 200 vintage Los Angeles lampposts located outside the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, will be in attendance. Actress Jamie Lee Curtis, a loyal supporter of the Frostig Center, will be speaking at the reception.  In addition to the new pieces, all prior years’ works will also be on view and available for sale.

The sculptures are being sold in limited quantities to raise funds for social skills programs for children with learning disabilities at the Frostig Center. The social skills program has been funded solely through the sale of the collections artworks since the first Frostig Collection premiered in 2005.

Admission is free. Wine and hors d’oeuvres will be served. For inquiries about the event or the Collection, please call Kate Stern at (626) 791-9163 or email at frostigcollection@frostig.org.
