Sculptures sited among Hudson Valley landscapes will be seen in Robert Hite: Imagined Histories, an exhibition in the museum's Contemporary Gallery May 21 through September 4. Hite is a sculptor, painter and photographer. A native of Virginia, he now lives and works in upstate New York. His work, always reflective of nature and of the surrounding landscape, reveals the influence of the rich Southern narrative tradition. Hite has studied and photographed rural dwellings in Central and South America, Asia, Europe, the Caribbean and the Southern United States.
From 2006 to 2010, Hite installed and photographed a series of mixed/media architectural sculptures called Imagined Histories: Hudson Valley Landscapes. The Contemporary Gallery exhibition includes a sculpture from this series and black and white photographs from the series. The exhibition is selected by Elaine Berger for the museum's Contemporary Collectors Circle and by Museum Director Karl E. Willers, Ph.D
