An exhibit featuring “The Terracotta Soldiers of Xian: Photographs by Sidney J. Gluck” will be on display at Union College's Dyson Hall, in the Nott Memorial. It will run through October 30, 2005.
Gluck presents images of the magnificent life-sized terracotta soldiers and horses unearthed at Xian in the 1970s. The huge army was created by the First Emperor of China to immortalize the military might of the First Dynasty and serve the Emperor in his afterlife.
These photographs were taken in 1997 at Xi'an, China with government permission and assistance.
As an artist, Gluck has used a variety of mediums; painting, photography, and fabric design. He has shown at various galleries and educational institutions throughout New York and New England.
The exhibit is free and open to the public every day, year round, during the hours that the Nott Memorial is open: Monday-Sunday daily from 10 a.m. – 6 p.m. For additional information, please call 518-388-6004 or the Mandeville Gallery Offices: 518-388-6729.
