Nunu Fine Art is honored to announce that Ray IV by American artist Mia Westerlund Roosen has officially entered the permanent collection of the Wright Museum of Art at Beloit College, where it will be installed in front of the museum’s main entrance as a new public art landmark.
Born in New York in 1942, Westerlund Roosen has remained an active figure in American contemporary sculpture since the 1970s. Working across sculpture, painting, and public art, she explores the relationship between materiality, scale, and bodily perception. While her work developed within the contexts of Minimalism and Post-Minimalism, it does not fully adhere to their austere and depersonalized formal language. Instead, through the weight, texture, and structure of materials such as concrete and metal, her work reintroduces corporeality, tactility, and material experience. The acquisition of Ray IV not only marks an important milestone in the artist’s career but also adds a significant chapter to the museum’s collection of contemporary sculpture.

路由藝術很榮幸宣布,美國藝術家米亞・維斯特倫德・羅森(Mia Westerlund Roosen)的作品《Ray IV》已正式獲美國伯洛伊特學院懷特藝術博物館(Wright Museum of Art, Beloit College)納入永久典藏,並將安置於博物館正門前,作為全新的公共藝術地標。
維斯特倫德・羅森1942年出生於紐約,自1970年代以來持續活躍於美國當代雕塑領域,並以雕塑、繪畫與公共藝術創作探問材質、尺度與身體感知之間的關係。她的作品雖發展於極簡主義與後極簡主義的語境之中,卻不完全遵循其冷峻、去個人化的形式規則,而是透過混凝土、金屬等材料的重量、肌理與結構,重新引入身體性、觸感與物質經驗。此次《Ray IV》納入館藏,不僅象徵藝術家創作歷程中的重要里程碑,也為該博物館的當代雕塑典藏脈絡增添關鍵篇章。
