Sidney Gordin was born on October 24, 1918, in Chelzabinsk, Russia, and came to the United States in 1922, settling with his family in Brooklyn, New York. He graduated from Cooper Union School of Art, New York, in 1941. Gordin's first solo show was presented at Bennington College, Vermont, in 1951, and he participated in his first group exhibition, American Sculpture 1951 that same year at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. He went on to establish an important reputation as an artist in New York, with solo shows at Peter Cooper Gallery, Grace Borgenicht, and The New School. His innovative abstract metal and wire constructions were included in From Sketch to Sculpture, 1953, and Recent Sculpture USA, 1960, both at the Museum of Modern Art, New York. Other prestigious exhibitions included the 1959 Annual Exhibition, Precisionist View in American Art, 1961, Sculpture and Drawing Annual, 1962, and Geometric Abstraction in America, 1962, all at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York. His work of this period has been described as wonderfully airy, elegant, and dynamic constructions of thin wire. A crucial element was Gordin's desire for precision. He explained: “Why did I restrict myself that way? I think I wanted to get to the essence of quality. I wanted everything to be perfectly proportioned, perfectly put together. Restricting yourself gives you an intensity of working.” Gordin, who was originally born in Russia, first focused on drawing and later switched his artistic talents to sculpting. He taught at UC Berkeley and at Sarah Lawrence College in New York. Gordin’s works are innovative and tended to require or revolve around a specific creative process. He was influenced by Cubism and Futurism for his earlier geometric sculptures, but his art evolved into biomorphic figures and dramatic brushwork after he discovered the Post-War Bay Area art scene.
