The Norton Museum of Art entered the ring to open its 2024-2025 season with the exhibition Strike Fast, Dance Lightly: Artists on Boxing. Check out photos from the opening reception.
Nearly 150 invited guests attended a VIP reception to preview the boxing-themed exhibition, which features 125 paintings, drawings, sculptures, video installations, photographs and other works by nearly 90 artists from around the world.
Actor Jovon Jacobs gave a dramatic presentation of “The Boxer, Part I,” written by poet Gabriele Tinti, from which the exhibition draws its title. Ghislain d’Humières, the Norton’s Kenneth C. Griffin Director and CEO, and Arden Sherman, the Museum’s Glenn W. and Cornelia T. Bailey Senior Curator of Contemporary Art, offered remarks.
Participating artists, including Jared McGriff, Cheryl Pope, Lonnie Holley, Rose Marie Cromwell, and Marcel Hüppauff, were in attendance.
Guests enjoyed wine, cocktails and passed hors d’oeuvres before venturing into the galleries for a tour led by Sherman. A select group of attendees was invited to a private dinner on the Colonnade, overlooking the Pamela and Robert B. Goergen Garden.
Strike Fast, Dance Lightly: Artists on Boxing – Through March 9, Norton Museum of Art, 1450 S. Dixie Highway, West Palm Beach. Info: (561) 308-7875 or www.norton.org.
