About the Item
Signed lower right, 'Mallory' for Ronald Mallory (American, 1932-2021) and dated 1975.
A dramatic, disjunct figural study of a man wearing a checked cap, shown dancing and playing a stringed instrument.
This notable modernist and foundational member of the kinetic art movement was born in Philadelphia and first studied at the University of Colorado where he received his MA in 1951. Mallory received his Bachelor of Architecture degree from the University of Florida in 1955, and, in 1956, attended the School of Fine Arts in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil where he studied with Roberto Burle Marx. In 1957, Mallory moved to Paris to further his studies at the Academy Julian.
Over the course of a long career, Ronald Mallory exhibited internationally with success and was the recipient of numerous prizes, medals and juried awards including from New York's Museum of Modern Art and the Whitney Museum in the United States as well as from museums in Paris, Milan, London and Rio de Janeiro. The Mallory's work is held in private and institutional collections world-wide, including the permanent collections of New York's Museum of Modern Art and Whitney Museum; the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; the Smithsonian Institute; the Cooper Hewitt Museum; the Israel Museum, Israel; the Los Angeles County Museum of Modern Art; the Albright Knox Museum; the Santa Barbara Museum of Art; the Oakland Museum of Modern Art; the Fogg Art Museum, Harvard, and the La Jolla Museum of Modern Art, among others
In addition to a sixty-year career as a fine artist, Mallory held a number of academic and consultative positions including Visiting Artist at the University of California at Berkeley (1972); Art Consultant and urban planner for Bunker Hill Redevelopment in Los Angeles (1944 -1998) and participating artist and curator for C Project, a holographic artist community project that also included Roy Lichtenstein, Chuck Close, Ed Ruscha and James Turrell. In 1999, Ronald Mallory was awarded the Pollack-Krasner Grant and also received a grant from the New York Council for the Arts. We are pleased to offer a vibrant figural work from the artist's middle-period.
