Wall Mounted Found Objects Sculpture by Mayer Spivack Dated 1975
About the Item
We recently acquired a collection of mid to late 20th century sculptures by the Newton, Massachusetts artist, psychotherapist and inventor Mayer Spivack. A lifelong innovator and creative theorist, his art was always an expression of the many professional worlds and career paths he inhabited. He was an important part of the East Coast Assemblage Movement and much like his West Coast contemporary John Outerbridge, Spivack’s “found object” works were created from the material castoffs of America’s industrial and domestic past. He gleaned foundry forms and other curious patterns and scraps from New England’s vanishing shipyards, textile mills and the Boston neighborhoods, fabricating his works as shrines or altarpieces meant to engage the viewer with various narratives on the nature of existence.
This work, signed and dated 1975, was created from a painted shipyard foundry form and painted and oxidized metal scraps. It can be displayed vertically or hung upon the all as shown.
