David Smith's sculptures dance at the Hyde Collection

This summer you may see some large abstract sculptures that helped make artist David Smith famous around the world. They're at the Hyde Collection in Glens Falls, New York. The Songs of the Horizon exhibit, however, mostly showcases lesser known and rarely seen pieces inspired by music and dance.
Spotlight producer Paul Larson spoke with guest curator Dr. Jennifer Field and the museum Chief Executive Officer John Lefner about the special David Smith show.
The exhibit Songs of the Horizon: David Smith, Music, and Dance lasts until September 17 at the Hyde Collection in Glens Falls. Visit hydecollection.org for ticket information.
Spotlight is made possible, in part, by the Glenn and Carol Pearsall Adirondack Foundation, dedicated to improving the quality of life for year-round residents of the Adirondack Park. Spotlight is also supported by Hill and Hollow Music.

Smith considered himself to be a painter before he became a sculptor. You can see the hillside site of his studio in Bolton Landing by stopping at the roadside (the site itself is fenced off). It is on Edgecombe Hill Road. Last time I visited, there was one big sculpture on the lawn.
