WASHINGTON NATIONAL CATHEDRAL COLLECTION
WASHINGTON NATIONAL CATHEDRAL COLLECTION
Announcement September 29, 2001 at Washington National Cathedral, Washington, D.C.
Washington National Cathedral and Chesley are pleased to announce the release of limited editions of sculptures created for the Cathedral by the late Frederick E. Hart. Among the most important works of Mr. Hart’s oeuvre are the sculptures he created for Washington National Cathedral’s west façade. These include the renowned Ex Nihilo tympanum and the trumeau figures of St. Peter, St. Paul and Adam.
Celebrating the memory of Frederick Hart and one of America’s architectural treasures, as well as the Spirit which inspired both, the editioned Cathedral works will also provide important support to the programs and ministries of Washington National Cathedral in its role as a National House of Prayer for All People.
The works include casts from Hart’s maquette and working model for Ex Nihilo, castings in bronze from the full-scale plasters of St. Peter, St. Paul and Adam, as well as bronze castings of Ex Nihilo details from the full-scale plaster for the final stone sculptures.
Both Chesley and Washington National Cathedral look forward to sharing with the public these works of an American Master.
