Wall Mounted Found Objects Sculpture by Mayer Spivack Dated 1975
About the Item
We recently acquired a collection of mid to late 20th century sculptures by the Newton, Massachusetts artist, psychotherapist and inventor Mayer Spivack. A lifelong innovator and creative theorist, his art was always an expression of the many professional worlds and career paths he inhabited. He was an important part of the East Coast Assemblage Movement and much like his West Coast contemporary John Outerbridge, Spivack’s “found object” works were created from the material castoffs of America’s industrial and domestic past. He gleaned foundry forms and other curious patterns and scraps from New England’s vanishing shipyards, textile mills and the Boston neighborhoods, fabricating his works as shrines or altarpieces meant to engage the viewer with various narratives on the nature of existence.
This work, signed and dated 1975, was created from a painted shipyard foundry form and painted and oxidized metal scraps. It can be displayed vertically or hung upon the all as shown.

The delicate lines and whimsical nature of Heise sculptures often defy the rugged origins of each component part. Railroad spikes, plough discs, pitchforks, shovel blades, and a myriad of other parts are transformed into birds in flight, cows out to pasture, tropical fish, and a variety of other wildlife forms.

- Found and Salvaged Industrial Steel Object Sculpture ArrangementBy Jim RoseLocated in Chicago, ILMade from found industrial objects, this face takes on different looks at every angle. A wedge, sprockets, gears are adhered to a found painted steel plate to complete this "Flatlay Face" Jim Rose Flatlay Face No. 07, 2021 found industrial objects 3.25h x 8.25w x 8.25d in 8.26h x 20.95w x 20.95d cm JR0301 Jim Rose b. 1966, d. 2023 Bio Born in Indiana, Jim Rose lived in Europe until he returned to the United States to attend college. After one year at Bard College, Jim transferred to the School of the Art Institute in Chicago (SAIC) where he graduated in 1988 with a BFA. His skillful interpretation of the Shaker design is a result of intense research and field study of Shaker furniture, architecture, culture and history. After over two decades of dedicated work, he has mastered the minimalism of the Shaker technique and created his own unique visual vernacular. The quilts of Gee's Bend have become a monumental influence taking this artist's work to new levels of unique interpretation and artistry. His selection of aged steel results in a patina directly related to that of aged wood while his colored strips beautifully mimic worn cloth. Each piece of furniture is masterfully made and intended for daily use. Jim Rose’s steel furniture is featured every year at SOFA Chicago for the past 25 years.
