Alan Shields Sculptures
American, 1944-2005
Alan Shields (1944 - 2005) is known for making art out of just about anything, often using sewing techniques coupled with painting, tie-dying, or wire bending. The critic Robert Hughes called Shields, "a brilliant bricoleur."
Shields came to the notice of the art world virtually overnight after an exhibition in 1969 at the Paula Cooper Gallery, New York. By the mid-70's Shields was a focus of the contemporary art world and in 1973 was featured on the cover of Artforum.
Today Shields' work can be found in the collections of many major American museums, including the Smithsonian Institute in Washington and the Museum of Modern Art in New York.to
