In Her Words: Merlyn Maldonado Lopez '22 curates art exhibition for Sentinel anniversary

As part of the Kolbe Fellows Program last summer, Merlyn Maldonado Lopez '22 curated the art exhibition, "Martin Puryear: 40 Years Since Sentinel." The exhibit, which was on display at the Gettysburg College Schmucker Art Gallery earlier this semester, celebrated the 40th anniversary of the Sentinel sculpture on campus. It featured a working mold Puryear constructed in preparation for Sentinel, photographs of the 1982 installation, and prints by Puryear that were recently acquired by the College and loaned from a private collection.
