Wendy Klemperer Figurative Sculptures

American, b. 1958

Wendy Klemperer was born in 1958 in Boston, Massachusetts. Raised in Cambridge and Watertown, she was most able to explore her passion for animals and nature during summers spent at her grandmother's country house in New Hampshire. The daughter of two chemists, she grew up with dual interests of art and the biological sciences and received a Bachelor's degree in Biochemistry from Harvard University before deciding to pursue art full-time. Klemperer moved to New York City in 1980 and studied at Pratt Institute. In the early 1990s, she started welding and soon was concentrating on larger outdoor sculpture. Scrap yards and construction sites provide the raw material for her linear, gestural sculpture. Klemperer finds most of the forms already bent into the piles of rebar, her process is largely to select and cut, tack-welding the pre-existing curves into sculptural form. Klemperer lives in Brooklyn, New York and Nelson, New Hampshire. She has exhibited her work throughout the United States.

Located in Zug, CH

Donald Sultan, Red Poppies Contemporary, 21st Century, Sculpture, Poppies, Flower, Red Painted aluminum on polished aluminum base Edition of 25 62 x 61 x 7.6 cm (24.5 x 24.2 x 3 in) Signed, dated, numbered, and titled, accompanied by Certificate of Authenticity In mint condition, as acquired from the publisher In the original packaging PLEASE NOTE: Edition numbers could vary from the one shown in the pictures.

"Most of my ideas were to put imagery back into abstract painting. Some of the ones that look the most abstract are...
