Gene Koss: solo exhibition at Ohr-O'keefe Museum

Always an admirer of Frank Gehry's architecture, Gene Koss is excited to exhibit in a stainless steel Gehry designed pod on the Ohr-O’Keefe Museum campus. The huge steel panels and exposed beams in the raw, unfinished interior of the pod contrast and complement Koss’s sculpture.

The exhibit covers a span of Koss’s sculpture career from 1990 to 2019 and was curated by David Houston, the Ohr-O’Keefe executive director.  Included is Arc, a large-scale sculpture of steel, stone and glass; Totem, a large wooden timber sculpture; as well as several multi-media maquette sculptures. 

Ohr-O’Keefe Museum of Art  386 Beach Blvd, Biloxi, MS 39530
Open to the public:  10am-5pm Tuesday – Saturday; 1pm-5pm Sunday
