Bryan Hunt

Blum Helman Gallery

Acquired from the above in April 1990 by the present owner

“In the late ‘70s, Hunt began making the ‘Airship’. Miraculously, they jut out of the wall, above our heads, out of reach. We strain to understand their weightless horizontality, their shimmering gossamer instability. Pushing materials to their limits, he changes the gallery into a galaxy where new laws of thermodynamics and gravity and motion are indescribably put into effect. In the ‘Airship,’ as in much of his subsequent work, Hunt turns the act of looking into bewildering uncommon, almost supernatural experience.”
