Gift from The George Sugarman Foundation enhances PNC Campus

The George Sugarman Foundation has generously donated sculptures, paintings, works of art on paper and other artwork for display and exhibition on the PNC campus. This donation will form a cornerstone in the collection of art at PNC. George Sugarman (1912 -1999) was an American artist whose first polychrome sculpture was considered extremely radical because each form was painted a different color. In the 1970's he turned to creating large outdoor public sculpture and became interested in making his work user-friendly. He taught at Hunter College in New York from 1960 to 1970.
