George Herms & Terence Koh

Morán Morán is pleased to present a two-person exhibition by George Herms and Terence Koh. A cogent selection of fifteen of Herms’ most consummate assemblage sculptures are presented, spanning four decades, from 1983 to 2013. In addition to this review of small sculptures, Koh creates an installation using solar energy and Herms’ raw materials, which serves as a connection to the natural world while creating a union between the works and the two artists.
