More about the exhibit:
THE ART OF THE BRICK— a captivating exhibition featuring intriguing
works of art by renowned contemporary artist Nathan Sawaya—is set to return to Boston following
sold-out crowds in Faneuil Hall in 2014, this time taking residency in Boston on Newbury Street on
Friday, November 18, 2022 through Sunday, April 23, 2022. The critically acclaimed collection
experienced a sold-out run of more than 80,000 visitors in Boston in 2014 and now a new show twice
the size will make its East Coast Premiere this month on Newbury Street.
The new exhibition will feature over 90 works of art made exclusively from one of the most recognizable toys in the world—the LEGO® brick. Presale access is now available and tickets go on sale to the general public on Monday, November 14. Tickets prices start at $28. For more information and to buy tickets, visit www.artofthebrick exhibit.com. Centrally located in the Back Bay area of Boston, the newly renovated Newbury Street location will introduce visitors to a reimagined museum-like experience, with breathtaking contemporary art at every turn. The collection features original pieces as well as re-imagined versions of some of the world's most famous art masterpieces made exclusively from LEGO bricks like Da Vinci's Mona Lisa and Van Gogh's Starry Night and as well as a gallery showcasing an innovative, multimedia collection of LEGO brick infused photography that Sawaya produced in collaboration with award-winning photographer Dean West.
THE ART OF THE BRICK also includes fan favorite, Yellow, a sculpture of a man ripping his chest open
with thousands of yellow LEGO bricks cascading from the cavity. In addition, visitors will be able to walk
beside a 20-foot-long T-Rex dinosaur skeleton made out of bricks and come face-to-face with a giant
LEGO skull.
“This bespoke Boston art installation explores some new themes I’m excited to showcase, as well as
highlighting some old favorites,” said artist Nathan Sawaya. “New England has always welcomed THE
ART OF THE BRICK warmly and we are thrilled to be returning after almost a decade.”
THE ART OF THE BRICK is the first major exhibition to use LEGO bricks as the sole art medium. Sawaya
transforms LEGO bricks into tremendous and thought-provoking sculptures, elevating the toy to the
realm of art. Sawaya’s ability to transform this common toy into something meaningful, his devotion to
spatial perfection and the way he conceptualizes action, enables him to elevate what almost every child
has played with into the status of contemporary art.
Seen by more than 10 million people world-wide, THE ART OF THE BRICK has inspired creativity and
wonder in fans of all ages in over 100 cities in 24 countries across 6 continents. CNN rated THE ART OF
THE BRICK as one of the global “top ten must-see exhibitions,” PBS NewsHour hailed the artist, “Nathan
Sawaya the Leonardo Da Vinci of LEGO Art,” and The New York Times proclaimed “…the playfulness is
contagious.”
