“Virginia Maksymowicz's sculpture has the feel of 'real art' of art that looks like art.
And did you also notice that each of her sculptures of female nudes in her Michener Sculpture Garden solo, 'Aesthetic Distance,' sits or crouches atop a tall column, high above your head?
In this area artist's newest work, we're given a tender and moving homage to ordinary women. This gifted and broadly experienced sculptor, whose work generally tries to come to terms with some of the issues of our day, deserves a salute, and your ongoing attention.
Maksymowicz is onto something here about the lost potential of women who are out of reach and almost out of sight, with no way to climb off their pedestals. We respond with a nod of recognition.”
