About the Item
ODETTA is pleased to offer this important sculpture from the Estate of David Hayes.
David Vincent Hayes (March 15, 1931 – April 9, 2013) was an American sculptor..
These Form Studies were created as studies only for the larger scale steel sculptures. Found in large quantities in the estate's barn, former studio of David Hayes, they are being offered and exhibited for the first time.
Hayes received a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Notre Dame in 1953, and a M.F.A. degree from Indiana University in 1955 where he studied with David Smith.
He received a post-doctoral Fulbright Award and a Guggenheim Fellowship. He was a recipient of the Logan Medal of the Arts for Sculpture and an award from the National Institute of Arts and Letters. During his life, he had over 400 exhibitions and his work is included in some 100 institutional collections including those of the Museum of Modern Art and the Guggenheim Museum in New York City.
In 2007, he was conferred an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degree by Albertus Magnus College in New Haven, CT.
Hayes resided in Coventry, Connecticut, where he had 54 acres of land to exhibit his works on the grounds of the David Hayes Sculpture Fields, an open air art museum open to the public.
He died of leukemia at his home there on April 9, 2013. He was 82.
In 2021, Hayes' work and grounds were the subject of an hour-long television broadcast shown on some 200 PBS stations nationwide produced by Legacy List with Matt Paxton.
