About the Item

Acrylic, sand, and earth on paper. Signed, titled, and dated 1986 en verso. Michael Young Auto Biography I was born in 1952, in Kansas City, Kansas. My interest in art began as a child observing my father Eugene draw and paint in our basement at our home in Lansing, Kansas. At seventeen I enrolled into a two year Commercial Art program in Salina, Kansas. After graduation I found employment at an architectural illustration studio in downtown Kansas City, Missouri. This fortune of luck led me to the understanding of perspective, rendering and scale. I became obsessed and began collecting books and taking portrait lessons. I opened a downtown studio/gallery in Leavenworth, Kansas, but after several years I felt the need to learn the anatomical figure, and my girlfriend and I moved to New York City in 1978. There, I studied at The Art Students League, Salmagundi Club, and took private classes with Bill Weltman, a world famous anatomy instructor. ​ I was now confident placing figures in my work in any perspective and my fine art career was set in motion. I soon met my agent Pat Carlson and introduced my work to the national publisher and gallery chain Dyansen, painting mostly in the Art Deco style. Together we produced dozens of lithographs and serigraphs with shows at many fine galleries across the country. Hundreds of works later I slowly developed a strong desire for a break with tradition. My paintings have became experimental and rebellious, undergoing a change in concepts and techniques I call “Prismatism”.

  • Israeli Contemporary Abstract Geometric Painted Pierced Sculpture Zigi Ben Haim
    By Zigi Ben-Haim
    Located in Surfside, FL
    Zigi Ben-Haim, Metal sculpture Hand signed and dated Zigi Ben-Haim, 1998 Untitled, patinated aluminum or steel, Dimensions: 6"h x 2"w x 2"d This listing is for 1. I have 2 similar ones available. Zigi Ben-Haim (born 1945 in Baghdad, Iraq) is an Iraqi-American-Israeli painter, collage artist and sculptor who lives and works in New York City and Israel. Ben-Haim unveiled his sculpture, Treasure the Green, in SoHo on Broadway. The project was sponsored by the SoHo Broadway Initiative and the New York Department of Transportation's Art Program. The sculpture is considered to be the first sculpture to receive permission to be installed on a bus bulb on Broadway. The sculpture was made to "emphasize the importance of nature in our lives," and stands as a reminder of "the importance of reconnecting with the pure nature of the green." The sculpture uses the symbol of the leaf, which has been a major icon of Ben-Haim's work for the past 30 years. It symbolizes nature and it is a metaphoric way of emphasizing nature and the surrounding environment. He is of the first generation of Israeli artists to develop large international followings like Yaacov Agam, Menashe Kadishman and Avigdor Arikha. Ben-Haim has received numerous grants and awards, including from Pollock-Krasner Foundation, National Endowments for the Arts, New York State Council on the Arts, The German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), Emily Harvey Foundation Venice, Muestra Int. de Obra Grafica (Spain), and the Ministry of Culture in Israel. His works are included and exhibited in numerous public and private collections around the world, including the Guggenheim Museum in N.Y.C., the Jewish Museum, the Brooklyn Museum, the Israel Museum, and the Tel-Aviv Museum.
