Inscription: The Process Work of Albert Paley

Add to Calendar

Albert Paley (b. 1944) is an American metal sculptor and the creator of RIT’s Sentinel. From large-scale public sculptures to intricate pieces of jewelry, Paley’s work in the RIT Archives spans more than six decades and a variety of mediums. Through glimpses into the most intimate stages of the artistic process, his lines, curves and angles can be traced through extensive paper trails.

This exhibit celebrates the uniqueness of an artist’s active touch found in the connections between Paley’s fluid handwriting, the looseness of his sketches, and the sweeping curves of his metalwork.

This exhibit was co-curated by Emelia McCalla (Graphic Design BFA, ‘26) and Kaitlyn Kavanagh (Museum Studies BS and New Media Design BFA, ‘26) in collaboration with RIT Archives for John Monaco’s Spring 2025 MUSE-241 class. Graphic design was completed by Michelle Fu (Graphic Design BFA, ‘26) and Julian Howland (Graphic Design BFA, ‘26) for Command+g Design Lab.
