Mark di Suvero
Mark di Suvero is a key Abstract Expressionist who rose to prominence in the late 1950s due to his ground-breaking sculpture practice. His large sculptures would be comprised of leftover construction materials from demolition sites such as structural steel, wires, and other scraps, famously being put together through di Suvero's use of a crane. The subsequent sculptures produced simultaneously take on a constructivist, existentialist, and utopian quality. His work is intentionally installed in public spaces like parks and gardens in order to confront everyday viewers with the problems of contemporary industrialization and urban living. Di Suvero is the founder of the Socrates Sculpture Park, Park Place Gallery, and ConStruct. He has also received the International Sculpture Center's Lifetime Achievement in Contemporary Sculpture Award and the Heinz Award in the Arts and Humanities.
