George Segal
B. 1924, NEW YORK CITY; D. 2000, SOUTH BRUNSWICK, NEW JERSEY
George Segal was born in the Bronx, New York, on November 26, 1924. He studied science at Stuyvesant High School and then spent one year at the Cooper Union, both in New York. While still a student, he worked briefly as a commercial illustrator. After his older brother was drafted into the army in 1940, Segal left New York to work on his father's newly acquired chicken farm in South Brunswick, New Jersey. During this time he took night classes at the nearby Rutgers University, New Brunswick, where he would return much later to earn his MFA in 1963.
In 1946 Segal married Helen Steinberg and soon began commuting to classes at Pratt Institute, Brooklyn, New York. In 1948, inspired by Abstract Expressionist paintings, he transferred to New York University (NYU). Among his teachers were William Baziotes and Tony Smith, and his fellow students included Alfred Leslie and Larry Rivers. After completing his BA in Art Education from NYU in 1949, Segal built and operated his own chicken farm in South Brunswick, New Jersey, for several years with his wife. Allan Kaprow had also been a student at NYU with Segal, but the two did not meet until 1953 when Kaprow was teaching at Rutgers and living close to Segal. Segal's farm became the site for Kaprow's first Happening in 1958, a Robert Frank film in 1960, and over time, the artist's own 6,000-square-foot studio.
Through his relationship to Kaprow, Segal was introduced to the New York avant-garde scene surrounding John Cage and Merce Cunningham, as well as awarded a membership to the Hansa Gallery, where in 1956, for his debut solo show, he exhibited brightly colored, figurative abstract paintings. In 1958 Segal completed his first sculptures using wood two-by-fours, chicken wire, burlap, and plaster, and positioned the three works in front of a series of large canvases. Segal's placement of life-size figures in an environment, a trope for which he became best known, was further developed in July 1961, when he was asked to write about newly developed gauze and plaster Johnson & Johnson bandages as a potential new art material. He was given boxes of the medical material, which he took home and had his wife plaster around him while he sat in a chair. The results led him to continue using different versions of the material to make full-body plaster casts directly from the figures of his family, friends, colleagues, and patrons. These figures were then placed on the ground in relationship to ready-made objects often taken from the urban landscape. While the surfaces of his sculptures were often left white, Segal also occasionally incorporated bright hues into his pieces.
In 1960 Segal began exhibiting with Green Gallery, New York, alongside young contemporary artists such as Donald Judd and Robert Morris. Two years later his work was included in New Realists, an exhibition that helped define Pop art, a movement with which Segal had previously been identified, at the Sidney Janis Gallery, New York. He became a member of that gallery in 1965 and had his first museum solo show at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago (1968).
In 1969, after making pastel drawings of plaster body parts around his studio, Segal began a series of partial figure sculptures and wall reliefs. He produced his first bronze sculpture for an outdoor project in 1976. Other public commissions included memorials to the 1970 Kent State shootings, the Holocaust, and gay liberation. In the 1990s, Segal returned to painting and began a series of photo-sculptures using his own photographs. During the last years of his life, Segal made large charcoal portraits of his friends and family, and participated in a documentary film about his life's work. The film George Segal: American Still Life premiered in 2001, a year after his death in New Jersey. Courtesy Guggenheim
