Palette Contemporary Mid-Century Modern Show featuring ABQ Sculptor, Herb Goldman
Friday, 11-20-26, from 5-8PM w/ Family Artist Talk
The headliner for this event will be former Albuquerque sculptor, Herb Goldman, whose daughter, Lisa, will discuss his legacy beginning at 6:15PM on Friday, November 20th. Herb created works in Albuquerque for twenty years. He did not limit himself to working with one material or medium in completing over 100 commissioned pieces in his lifetime. Herb’s biggest, and perhaps, signature project was “The Henge”, a functional residence / sculpture erected in Roswell, NM, in 1963. The Henge towers 45 feet above ground and more than 100 feet across. A few different styles and sizes of Goldman’s pieces will be present at this show. One sculpture being exhibited is “Metro”, 1973, pictured in the Gallery of Early Works in this website. Metro was created as a model for what was to become a 25’(H) foot sculpture for the Metro Shopping Center in Phoenix, AZ.

A celebration of Herb Goldman’s work took place the evening of May 9, 2013 at the South Broadway Cultural Center, 1025 Broadway Blvd. SE, Albuquerque, NM. The Albuquerque Film Office sponsored the documentary film screening, “Herb Goldman- A Lifetime of Limitless Possibilities” and reception. The exhibit, Albuquerque Art – A Look Back, included Goldman’s work along with other post World War II Albuquerque artists. Some of the artists featured include Richard Diebenkorn, Connie Fox, Alice & Jack Garver, Robert Walters, Adja Yunkers, Pat Smith, Frank McCulloch, Bob & Peg Hooton. The film viewing and art exhibit was a celebration and tribute to Albuquerque art and the artists from this period. Wesley Pulkka wrote a wonderful review of the show for the Albuquerque Journal on June 2, 2013. (Contact for more information.)
