“Pacific” (steel pipe and high-performance car paint), by John Clement, in his joint show with Robert Sagerman, “Sagerman and Clement: High-Performance Color,’’ at Heather Gaudio Fine Art, New Canaan, Conn., March 13-May 1.

Mr. Clement’s site explains that his work “juxtaposes a variety of playing steel coils and arcs that, layered on top of one another, take on a life of their own. While today Clement focuses primarily on large-scale outdoor work …. his smaller works are, on their own volition, about to swivel about on their bases and spin about in space. Clement’s dynamic and dramatic union of form, line and negative space emphasizes the impression of implied movement.’’

“The Glass House,’’ in New Canaan (built in 1948-1949),  designed by Modernist architect Philip Johnson (1906-2005) as his own residence. It’s now a National Historic Site.
