INTRODUCTION
3
Whether you come from Madison, New London or outside
Connecticut, you most probably are about to have a new
experience. You are setting out along some typical everyday streets
of one or another old New England town, no less historic than
many others, but a little different.
There is a decided difference, these historic old streets have taken
on the task of exposing you to an up to date cultural adventure,
Contemporary Sculpture up close.
Close enough to gently touch without fear of intimidating guards or
hurried on by guides pushing you along just when you have that
crazy urge to stop and think about what in the devil was the artist
thinking when spending so much time creating that work of art.
The sponsors of these unusual art exhibitions have a mission to
acquaint their fellow Americans with a very neglected facet of the
nation’s art community, sculpture –the most neglected of all the arts.
We hope afficionados, and inexperienced alike, will leave taking
away from this long walk past many different styles and ideas, a
feeling that their lives have been stimulated and that attention to
daily more demanding encounters be put aside by this long more
tranquil life-stroll.

READ FIRST
...a new perspective
If you began the MILE in New London at the Garde and at William
Evans’ “Catastrophy” and on to the Courthouse, near the work by sculp-
tor Erwin Hauer titled “E Pluribus Unum”, and you have had the stamina
to reach Mr. Hauer’s “Snowman” at the Lyman Allyn Art Museum, you’ve
walked Hauer to Hauer ––indeed you’ve traversed a very long MILE.
You have experienced first-hand a modest new perspective displaying
21st Century Contemporary American sculpture. Here the MILE
becomes a unique preface to the Lyman Allyn’s newly reinstalled
permanent collection of American art titled “American Perspectives”.
We admit that you should not attempt to visit the museum galleries
immediately after your long walk. But, now you are ready to
experience the three major perspectives of this wondrous museum
collection. With paintings, sculpture, furniture, and decorative arts
from the 18th through the 20th century, the renovated galleries offer
a very fresh approach to both new and more familiar treasures.
