Mark di Suvero Biography
Born in China to Italian parents, Mark di Suvero (b. 1933, Shanghai) immigrated to the U.S. as a child aged eight. An internationally renowned artist and pioneer in the use of steel, di Suvero has created vibrant and dynamic works of sculpture and painting throughout his sixty-year career, fusing vitality and movement with complex construction. His work has been shown consistently in galleries and museums worldwide including exhibitions of outdoor sculpture in the Netherlands, Germany, France, Italy, Spain and a number of cities in the United States. In 2023, the Nasher Sculpture Center in Dallas opened a major exhibition of di Suvero’s work. Public citywide shows have taken place in Paris, France; Venice, Italy; and New York City. Permanent installations of di Suvero’s sculpture are in Baltimore, Dallas, Grand Rapids, Houston, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, St. Louis, San Francisco, South Bend, and Toledo. In New York, di Suvero’s work is in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Storm King Art Center (Mountainville, NY). Di Suvero founded Socrates Sculpture Park in Queens, New York, in 1985. It became a public city park in 1998.

Mark di Suvero
Mark di Suvero is a key Abstract Expressionist who rose to prominence in the late 1950s due to his ground-breaking sculpture practice. His large sculptures would be comprised of leftover construction materials from demolition sites such as structural steel, wires, and other scraps, famously being put together through di Suvero's use of a crane. The subsequent sculptures produced simultaneously take on a constructivist, existentialist, and utopian quality. His work is intentionally installed in public spaces like parks and gardens in order to confront everyday viewers with the problems of contemporary industrialization and urban living. Di Suvero is the founder of the Socrates Sculpture Park, Park Place Gallery, and ConStruct. He has also received the International Sculpture Center's Lifetime Achievement in Contemporary Sculpture Award and the Heinz Award in the Arts and Humanities.
