About the Item
Steel and acrylic lacquer paint.
Joseph Slusky's painted steel sculpture "Zongo" prominently features a circle and exuberant wave form among the angles, but look closer and you'll actually see the curve carried through every element of the sculpture. Semicircles around the tiered base, an arch in the rectangular vertical, and the gently sloping sides of the column under the circle -- even the cuboids have softly rounded corners. These details soften the geometric shapes and flat planes, adding an extra jolt of playfulness and unifying the many forms.
California-based sculptor Joseph Slusky says of his work: "Beyond the more immediate historical art roots of my work from the Cubist, Constructivist and Surrealist Movements is a sensibility in which everything one encounters in the visual realm is grist for absorption and sculptural transformation... My undergraduate degree in architecture has imbued my work with architectonic and structural references. The gestural, figurative aspect of my work can be traced to competitive gymnastics throughout my high school and college... The titles of the pieces, many of which come from geographical place names, reflect the belief that each work is symbolic of a new place traveled to and discovered."

- Geometric abstraction mid century modern constructivist painted metal sculptureLocated in New York, NYForrest Myers Untitled geometric abstraction, 1976 Painted aluminum Signed in the metal with the artist's incised initials (FM) and stamp numbered 52/75; bears Treitel-Gratz foundry mark 15 × 13 1/2 × 6 in Unframed This painted aluminum sculpture was made by the American artist Forrest Myers. Myers is known for creating artworks that hold their own space; they maintain their presence through his manipulation of each chosen material's inherent properties. Numbered 52/75 Foundry: Treitel-Gratz, NY Forrest Myers Biography: An artist who greatly expanded the functional vocabulary of sculpture, Myer’s work is foremost, the result of his empirical explorations in materiality. For 40 years, he has been experimenting with the inherent properties of metal. The show will not only present his early dynamic pipe sculpture, his more austere flattened pieces made of oxidized steel plates, and his early woven wire “chairs” but will show for the first time, his most recent body of work including Parker and Vesuvio. The contemporary works, sculpted and intricately worked, are his most brilliantly complex to date. Myers most popularly known work The Wall (1973) at the corner of Broadway and Houston is currently under reinstallation (it was disassembled in 1997 to utilize the wall for income-generating advertisements). Often called the “Gateway to Soho,” this long embattled sculpture—a vibrant relief commissioned to disguise steel joists jutting from the brick wall of a building at this intersection). It will now regain its place as the New York’s largest public sculpture. Born in Hawaii (b.1941) and raised in California, Myers moved east in 1961 and quickly became part of New York’s vibrant artistic community. He was a founding member of the Park Place Gallery, where he exhibited large-scale sculptures with colleagues Mark di Suvero and Robert Grosvenor...Category
