Courage of Imagination, The Life and Legacy of Henry T. Segerstrom
05.08.15
As a tribute to the life and legacy of Henry T. Segerstrom, South Coast Plaza presents a visually stunning exhibition Courage of Imagination, on view from May 8 through May 31 in a gallery within Jewel Court.
The term, “courage of imagination” was what Japanese American sculptor Isamu Noguchi said in reference to Henry T. Segerstrom’s drive and vision, his contributions to the culture and arts in Orange County, and for creating the world-renowned shopping destination, South Coast Plaza.
At the gallery, visitors can see the story of Henry Segerstrom’s life through vintage photographs, archival videos, and informative descriptions. There are also major sculptures on display by Alexander Calder, Jean Dubuffet and Joan Miró. The exhibition will also entice spectators for its visual history of Orange County, from its rural roots to becoming a thriving hub of art and commerce thanks to Segerstrom’s passion for the arts and community leadership.
Segerstrom was recognized with incredible honors including Carnegie Hall’s Medal of Excellence; the Tree of Life Award from the Jewish National Fund, presented to him by former U.K. Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher; a knighthood presented by His Majesty Carl XVI Gustav of Sweden; the Leadership Award of the Business Committee for the Arts; Honorary Doctorates from Western University and Whittier Law School; and the Ernest C. Arbuckle Award of the Stanford Graduate School of Business, its highest honor.
“This exhibition came to life as a result of the outpouring of love and support by so many people from all over the world whose lives were touched by my husband,” said Elizabeth Segerstrom, in speaking about the conceptualization of the exhibition.
