MoMA surveys Richard Hunt’s welded forms in a 1971 retrospective

THE STORY, IN BRIEF

The Museum of Modern Art’s March 1971 announcement presents Richard Hunt’s first major museum retrospective, bringing together fifty sculptures alongside drawings and prints. The release traces his movement from found metal toward open, linear forms and larger architectural structures. Studies for public commissions show an expanding scale of practice. The document records an exhibition planned for New York before a further presentation in Chicago, where Hunt lived.
