Alabama Ironworkers April 19, 2007

This exhibit presents works by Alabama Iron Sculptors Lonnie Holley, Thornton Dial, Joe Minter, Ronald Lockett and Charlie Lucas. The Patrick F. Taylor Library building, which is partly renovated, is the perfect setting for the artists who use found-objects such as scrap metal, loose wire and old computer keyboards. Many of the pieces, particularly those constructed in response to Katrina, feel as raw and unfinished as the building itself and equally as beautiful.
