Gyuri Hollosy is an exhibiting artist at Grounds For Sculpture, where his sculpture Kathy B is on view near the lake. Recently, David Burchell interviewed Gyuri in his New Jersey studio, focusing on a sculpture Gyuri has created as homage to the late Isaac Witkin. Gyuri also discusses his other work and a series of sculptures which can be moved, transforming the pieces  into what appear to be new works.  Watch the interview here.

 

Mr. Witkin was a prolific artist, creating works in bronze and stone. Several of his sculptures are on exhibit at Grounds For Sculpture, as seen below.
