About the Item
A large-scale steel sculpture by Naomi Press. Signed with initials.
Naomi Press is a female abstract sculptor, who was one of the very few women working in large scale with steel in the second half of the 20th Century. Press’s art was admired by a well known and respected dealer André Emmerich as well as renowned art critic Clement Greenberg, with whom Press developed a friendship. Greenberg, arguably one of the most influential critics in the second half of the 20th Century, praised her sculptures and encouraged her to work in abstraction. Curators Robert Metzger and Karen Wilkin also wrote about her work. The eminent art historian Edward Lucie-Smith curated her 2011 retrospective in London. Works of Naomi Press are on par with such artists as Beverly Pepper, Claire Falkenstein and Louise Nevlson. Her creations have an imposing presence due to their masterful execution and aesthetic beauty.
Naomi Press was born in Poland and later lived in South Africa, England, and USA. This unique blend of cultures informs her art. Ballet is another significant influence in her life and practice. In her youth Press was an award winning ballet dancer and received offers from esteemed institutions such as the Royal Ballet school in London. Unfortunately, she was unable to pursue this track in life due to various obstacles. Eventually, Press channeled her love for dance and choreography into creating three-dimensional works of art. There is an inherent motion in her elegant sculptures comprised of curved forms and flowing shapes. Press's works exhibit an extraordinary awareness of the human body and the way it moves, which a fine ballet dancer certainly would posses.
