About the Item
Note:
This is a painted aluminum wall sculpture.
Sylvia Stone (b. 1928, d. 2011) was a well-known constructivist-minimalist sculptor. Born in Canada, she came to the US in 1946 at age 17 to study at the Art Students League. She began with painting. Preference was given returning soldiers, so Stone would often sneak into classes in order to receive some criticism of her painting, then work at home. She married the abstract painter and Chairman of Yale University's School of Art and Architecture, Al Held, at a young age. Stone herself would go on to became a Professor of Art at Brooklyn College, New York.
By the 1960s, with the art world's increased awareness of materials and their manipulation, she abandoned hard-edge abstraction and began to work with Plexiglas and metal (aluminum) as her medium. These works may be viewed on one level as reflecting the artist's inbuilt need to construct a home, a place where her spirit may express itself and find residence.
In 1975, she was part of the major show at the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York City, "Two Hundred Years of American Sculpture." She was represented by Tibor de Nagy and Andre Ammerich.
Sylvia Stone's sculpture is in the collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art; Wadsworth Athenaeum, Hartford, Connecticut; Aldrich Museum of Contemporary Art, Ridgefield, Connecticut; and Walker Art Center.

I am Emeritus Professor of Art, Georgetown University, where I taught Sculpture and Foundation Design in the Art & Art History Department. My sculptures are constructivist, mostly of steel and wood. I admire and share the sensibilities of many modern masters: Noguchi for purity of form and sensual materials, Giacometti for mystery and monumentality, and David Smith for toughness. I’ve exhibited my work in museums including: the Phillips Collection and the Corcoran Gallery in Washington, DC, the Albright-Knox Museum, Buffalo, NY, and recently The San Luis Obispo Museum Of Art. I’ve had solo exhibitions at the Huntington Museum, Huntington, WV, and the Southeast Center for Contemporary Art (SECCA) in Winston Salem...Category

- Geometric abstraction mid century modern constructivist painted metal sculptureLocated in New York, NYForrest Myers Untitled geometric abstraction, 1976 Painted aluminum Signed in the metal with the artist's incised initials (FM) and stamp numbered 52/75; bears Treitel-Gratz foundry mark 15 × 13 1/2 × 6 in Unframed This painted aluminum sculpture was made by the American artist Forrest Myers. Myers is known for creating artworks that hold their own space; they maintain their presence through his manipulation of each chosen material's inherent properties. Numbered 52/75 Foundry: Treitel-Gratz, NY Forrest Myers Biography: An artist who greatly expanded the functional vocabulary of sculpture, Myer’s work is foremost, the result of his empirical explorations in materiality. For 40 years, he has been experimenting with the inherent properties of metal. The show will not only present his early dynamic pipe sculpture, his more austere flattened pieces made of oxidized steel plates, and his early woven wire “chairs” but will show for the first time, his most recent body of work including Parker and Vesuvio. The contemporary works, sculpted and intricately worked, are his most brilliantly complex to date. Myers most popularly known work The Wall (1973) at the corner of Broadway and Houston is currently under reinstallation (it was disassembled in 1997 to utilize the wall for income-generating advertisements). Often called the “Gateway to Soho,” this long embattled sculpture—a vibrant relief commissioned to disguise steel joists jutting from the brick wall of a building at this intersection). It will now regain its place as the New York’s largest public sculpture. Born in Hawaii (b.1941) and raised in California, Myers moved east in 1961 and quickly became part of New York’s vibrant artistic community. He was a founding member of the Park Place Gallery, where he exhibited large-scale sculptures with colleagues Mark di Suvero and Robert Grosvenor...Category
