John Chamberlain Biography
Best known for his sculptures that brought the Abstract Expressionist style into three-dimensional forms, John Chamberlain was born on April 16, 1927 in Rochester, Indiana and grew up in Chicago, Illinois. After serving in the Navy from 1943 to 1946, Chamberlain attended the Art Institute of Chicago from 1951 to 1952. During this time he began to make flat, welded sculpture influenced by the work of David Smith. Chamberlain taught and studied sculpture at Black Mountain College, near Asheville, North Carolina from 1955 to 1956. In 1966, Chamberlain received his first of two John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowships, intended for men and women who have “already demonstrated exceptional capacity for productive scholarship or exceptional creative ability in the arts,” as stated by the foundation.
Building on his earlier welded sculpture, in 1957 Chamberlain began incorporating scrap metal from cars into his work. From 1959 onward, he concentrated on sculpture built entirely of crushed automobile parts. Chamberlain’s first major solo exhibition was held in 1960 at Martha Jackson Gallery, New York. In the early 1960s, Chamberlain’s work was widely acclaimed and his sculpture was included in “The Art of Assemblage” at the Museum of Modern Art, New York in 1961. Chamberlain showed frequently at the Leo Castelli Gallery, New York, and in 1964, was exhibited at the Venice Biennale.
From 1963 to 1965, Chamberlain experimented with other mediums and created geometric paintings with sprayed automobile paint. In 1966, he began a series of sculptures made of rolled, folded, and tied urethane foam. The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York, held a retrospective of his work in 1971, followed by a retrospective held at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, in 1986; the museum co-published, “John Chamberlain: A Catalogue Raisonné of the Sculpture 1954-1985”, authored by Julie Sylvester.
Chamberlain’s work can be found in the permanent collections of the Chinati Foundation, Marfa; the Tate Modern, London; the Moderna Museet, Stockholm; the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York; the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington D.C; and the Philadelphia Museum of Art, among others.
John Chamberlain passed away on December 21, 2011 in New York City.

John Chamberlain
John Chamberlain, in full John Angus Chamberlain, was an American sculptor, painter, photographer, printmaker, and filmmaker whose Abstract Expressionist works were characterized by an emotional approach to concept and execution.
Chamberlain studied at the Art Institute of Chicago (1951–52), where he began working in metals, and at Black Mountain College in North Carolina (1955–56). In 1957 he had his first one-man show in Chicago. His early pieces were made from welded iron rods, but he later used such materials as heat-shaped Plexiglass, paper, polyurethane, industrial rubber, brown paper bags, and aluminum foil before returning in 1974 to the use of auto body parts. His first sculpture to employ car parts was Shortstop (1957), which featured rusty fenders that he had found in the yard of painter and friend Larry Rivers.
Chamberlain’s sculptures are typified by Mr. Press (1961), a construction of fragments from automobiles, crumpled and jammed together to create an effect of isolated, frozen movement. He often coated his pieces with bright industrial paints. During the 1970s oil crisis, Chamberlain often incorporated oil barrels into his work, notably in the series Socket and Kiss (1979). For a brief interlude, he used car spray paint to create works that combined stencil and Action painting. Chamberlain was also involved in video and film and produced the cinematic Wide Point (1968); he later dabbled in drawing and printmaking.
In 1971 Chamberlain’s work was given a retrospective by the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York City.

Biography:
Frank Stella (1936-) is an American artist best known for his use of geometric patterns and shapes in creating both paintings and sculptures. Arguably one of the most influential living American artists, Stella’s works utilize the formal properties of shape, color, and composition to explore non-literary narratives, as seen in his work Harrar II (1967) from the Protractor series. “Abstraction didn't have to be limited to a kind of rectilinear geometry or even a simple curve geometry. It could have a geometry that had a narrative impact. In other words, you could tell a story with the shapes,” he explained. “It wouldn't be a literal story, but the shapes and the interaction of the shapes and colors would give you a narrative sense. You could have a sense of an abstract piece flowing along and being part of an action or activity.” Born on May 12, 1936 in Malden, MA, Stella went on to study history at Princeton University before moving to New York in 1958. Having moved to the city, Stella was immersed in the heyday Abstract Expressionism, but it was the work of Jasper Johns that inspired Stella’s Black...
