Highlighted Fine Art at Hollin Hills 2021 House + Garden Tour
The 2021 Hollin Hills House + Garden Tour aims to celebrate art and sculpture in a fun and interactive way. Several homes have been selected specifically to share works by Bill Barrett, Rob Lorenson, Tom Waldron, Chris Hill, Jonathan Adler, Val Bertoia and many others.
Here are profiles of two of the many artists whose work will be featured on the tour.
Caroline Ramersdorfer is an Austrian-born artist. She studied philosophy in Paris and sculpture in Carrara, Italy. Her sculpture is rooted in both disciplines. Both large and small scale, her work is a study in contrasts—tense and fluid, weighty and ethereal—and speaks to the mutability of perception and experience. Fun fact about Caroline… her father was an accomplished mid-century modern architect in Europe. Learn more about Caroline and her work.
John Van Alstine (born 1952) is an American contemporary art sculptor and former assistant professor of art. He primarily creates abstract stone and metal sculptures ranging from monumental to table size. His work has been exhibited in museums and galleries throughout the US, as well as Europe and Asia. A 280 page hardcover book, John Van Alstine Sculpture 1971-2018 surveying 45 years of work published by The Artist Book foundation, was released in 2019. Learn more about John and his work.
