The Bellevue Arts Museum presents a 40‐year survey of innovative sculptor Michael Cooper. Michael Cooper: A Sculptural Odyssey, 1968 ‐ 2011 is on view at the museum from July 12 to October 9, 2011.
Michael Cooper. A Sculptural Odyssey, 1968 ‐ 2011 traces over 40 years of the artist’s poignant, often humorous, explorations into human nature and society’s fascination with violence and power. From pistol‐packing tricycles to curiously mobile forms of “furniture,” Cooper’s work investigates commonplace objects, transforming familiar icons into witty, fantastical works of art.
