Paul Thiebaud Gallery presents Robert Arneson's brick-focused exhibition
Paul Thiebaud Gallery has launched an exhibition titled 'Cornerstones – Robert Arneson and the Brick,' showcasing over 25 seldom-displayed ceramic and bronze sculptures, drawings, and prints. This display marks the inaugural focus on Arneson's use of bricks as a central element throughout his artistic journey, exploring them as canvases, vessels, and conceptual objects. The show will remain open until May 9, 2026. In the early 1960s, Arneson examined ceramics' historical impact on Western culture, initially highlighting toilets as a significant clay application, viewed through a Pop art perspective.
