abstractsculpture – Painting After Art is Dead

Gustav Metzger

Hyperallergic paired Gustav with Eduardo Chillida, for whom a work was a finished thing. Gustav interests me in his preoccupation with work that has limited temporality.

Dorothy Dehner

The mid-20th century artist and sculptor Dorothy Dehner is a true original, and in a better time, without the aggressive presence of her husband David Smith, she might have gained the recognition she deserved.

Barbara Hepworth

The sculptor Barbara Hepworth was born in the former mill town of Wakefield, West Yorkshire, in 1921, and it is at the Hepworth Wakefield, a gallery named in her honor, which was created 10 years ago by the architect David Chipperfield in the pleasing shape of a jostle of wonky, gray cubes partly surrounded by a river (it’s a little like a jangly Modernist take on a moated castle keep), that her work is being celebrated in a thoroughgoing retrospective.

Louise Nevelson

Blogging about Matt reminded me of Louise’s work/career which made me want to look for more.

Alexander Calder

Read Alexander Calder’s statement, unpublished in his lifetime, about the gentle impulse of his art in motion.
#alexandercalder

Read a great article where Jennie Jones is quoted saying “Fred Sandback can make this beautiful line and not have to have it literally be a metaphor for his cultural identity” which made me realize I’ve never blogged about this important artist who bridged minimalism, conceptualists and light and space (I suspect Lydia finds his work influential).
