The genius of Tony Price’s sculpture was to turn the power
of the beast back on itself. With grace and wit and brilliance
he fashioned the forms of nuclear destruction into icons of peace
in an eloquent appeal for sanity and survival.
This May, Price’s visionary art was unveiled before a world
audience. In conjunction with the month-long Non-Proliferation
Treaty (NPT) review conference and the 60th anniversary of the United
Nations, the exhibition:
SWORDS INTO PLOWSHARES / Tony Price: Atomic
Art
went on display in the South Gallery of the Visitors Lobby at the
UN.
