Century City Outdoor Sculptures:                                         

On November 15, 2012, Century City will launch a large-scale annual outdoor sculpture exhibition along the center median of Avenue of The Stars, between Pico Boulevard and Santa Monica Boulevard. The first exhibition, featuring sculptures by Los Angeles artist Gwynn Murrill, will be on display from November 15, 2012 to December 2013. The exhibition is made possible through the support and organization of L.A. Louver, ValleyCrest Landscape Companies, Carl Schlosberg Fine Arts,  the Century City Foundation, Gainsborough Capital,  the Century City Chamber of Commerce and the Century City BID Association

Gwynn Murrill Exhibition:                

Gwynn Murrill on Avenue of The Stars, is Century City’s first outdoor sculpture project. The exhibition will feature bronze sculptures that the artist has created over the past twenty years, positioned in a manner that fuses landscape, architecture and art into an environmental experience. A series of twenty-two life-size bronze animal sculptures, including wild coyotes, tigers, deer, panthers, big horn sheep, a horse and an eagle depicted in flight, will come together in a grand urban installation.

Gwynn Murrill:                                  

Internationally known for sculpting the animal form, Los Angeles artist Gwynn Murrill’s sculptures are not bound by the literal representation of animals. Each sculpture depicts the unique essence of the subject, pairing essential, universal characteristics with the spirit of each animal so that each piece takes on a life of its own. Gwynn Murrill is represented by L.A. Louver, Venice, CA; www.lalouver.com/Murrill.

Timing and Events:                          

The Gwynn Murrill on Avenue of The Stars exhibition will open on November 15, 2012 with a celebration and ceremony for the community, including appearances and introductions by local dignitaries. More events are to follow during the year long run of the exhibition.
