About the Item

For more than two decades, artist John Petrey has created dynamic sculptures from everyday materials and objects—tin, bottle caps, aluminum cans, plastic forks, yardsticks, and the like. This exhibition includes life-size and tabletop sculptures selected from Petrey’s renowned Dress Series, in which he has transformed rigid materials into fluid, garment-inspired pieces—reimagining mid-century style by blending 1950s and 1960s fashion with contemporary craftsmanship. Petrey’s sculptures are held in many prominent private, public, and corporate collections around the world, including a private collection in Saint-Tropez, France; the collection of Mr. and Mrs. Johann Doppelhofer in Austria; the Tennessee State Museum in Nashville; the Mount Dora Center for the Arts in Mount Dora, Florida; The Ashley Gibson Barnett Museum of Art in Lakeland, FL; the Lauren Rogers Museum of Art in Laurel, Mississippi; and the Morris Museum of Art.
