| weinfield abstract sculpture
My abstract sculptures are inspired by physical, metaphysical and emotional storms. The sculptures are composed of radiating curvilinear ribs connected by thin webbing. The organic planes crated by the webbing contrast with the hard edged, repetitive ribs. The conflict between the mechanical and the natural expresses our efforts to overcome the forces which continually threaten us.
The organic forms seamlessly cascade into continuously evolving spaces and profiles. The curvilinear planes and ribs appear to stretch and rip apart while engulfing tenuous protective spaces.
The sculptures, which are suitable for outdoor placement, are typically constructed from aluminum, and covered with long-lasting paint. These materials were chosen for their durability, crisp appearance, and because of their traditional use in marine and aviation construction. Meticulous attention is paid to details so that each sculpture appears to be created from a solid, single piece of metal, rather than a composite of elements simply tacked together. All ribs, welds and webbing are cut, ground smooth, and faired until they are smooth as glass. The pieces typically have a maximum dimension of four to seven feet.
I have been sculpting for three decades, and have won prizes in national juried competitions, exhibited in solo and group shows, and exhibited and displayed work in various residential, institutional and corporate settings.
I have two sculptures on permanent display at Cornell University, including one piece that is the central work in the University main library sculpture collection. One of my sculptures is in the permanent collection of the Rockford Art Museum in Rockford, Illinois.
I welcome the opportunity to create unique commissions, and incorporate the client goals into the creative process.
I was born in Boston, Massachusetts in 1961, and received Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Fine Arts degrees in 1984 from Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. I currently reside in the Chicago area.

| Abstract Expressionist Painter
In order to define my art, I would need to create a name that would fit between Abstract Expressionism and Minimalism. Although both of these currents are extremes, they also have similarities. Why can not my art be in the middle of these?
For me, painting is a very internal and personal experience. I love painting because of the way I feel while I am painting; the process of creation is what captives me and certainly puts me in trance. I make no pretensions of showing my emotions and feelings through my art, but I do not stop these from emerging either.
To create my art, I try to emphasize the greandeur of simplicity through a game of confronting fortuitous events with controlled and planned
planned interventions. Both color and texture play a crucial role in doing this.
In my paintings, I use a mixture of sand, clay dust and acrylic mediums that, after applied, creates randomly heavy textures and finishes. I like to contrast this apparent randomness with a shape that evokes exactly the opposite – a planned, precise shape like a square or a rectangle. Then I confront this textured space with smooth surroundings. Looking again for contrast, I like to add an element on the top of this that links all of this together. This can be executed one of three ways: randomly created, planned, or a combination of both of these. Like a free will line dropped from the tube, a line created with texture, or a carved or painted stroke controlled by the artists hand.

I think of my work as haiku writ large. I am fascinated by the paradox of capturing instants of insight with insistently permanent materials such as stainless steel and bronze. Although my inspiration is often poetry, music, and dance, in fact, much of my work has gone to places having to do with life sciences. I enjoy designing to specific sites or concepts for public and private clients.

George Baker (1931-1997) Monumental-Sculpture
George Baker has been making large sculpture while teaching at Occidental College in Los Angeles beginning in 1965. His use of the studios there has been advantageous both for him and for the students who have taken his classes. Virtually all of the following large commissions were completed with students and former students hired to do all of the planning and fabrication.
The first large-scale sculpture Mr. Baker made was for EXPO 1970 in Osaka, Japan, a large kinetic fountain that was later moved to the Hakone Outdoor Sculpture Museum. This project was followed over the next few years by a number of large commissions...
| Alex Palkovich The Sculptor
A swift glance around the creative working environment of Alex Palkovich will suggest to the visitor that this is an individual of wide-ranging talents and abilities. The delicate sculptural piece depicting the engrossing passion of a violinist immersed in her performance contrasts dramatically in scale compared to the bronze relief of an elderly man at morning prayers who glimpses the eternal. Alexs pieces have an intense focus on detail and a commitment to making his vision explicit. His abilities as a keen observer combine with a significant intellect, humor, and sensitivity to provide added dimensions to his work. Unlike those who communicate in words, Alex uses clay, metal, and glass to convey the stories that lay within each piece.
Sculpture has always been his passion. Through the years he has lent his hands to many different art forms. As with all of Alexs work, the focus is primarily on creating an original, dynamic and emotive composition with a great deal of energy. Each shift in the position of the form reveals some new facet or insight. He is particularly fascinated by faces, and comments that "every face is beautiful and interesting." It is no surprise then that he enjoys making portraits.
Even a brief conversation with Alex will convey that this is a man of broad experiences and equally broad interests. His work also represents a wide range of subject matter. His skill as a storyteller is revealed in another dimension as he works to create modern and original interpretations of well-known legends and myths.
It is the nature of the artist to see things differently and, in the case of Alex, he is drawn to those things which challenge his mind and stimulate his intellect. It could be for that reason that in addition to his representational sculptures of human and animal figures, he has taken on the matter of furniture design in recent years. As an artist, he has enjoyed the challenge of taking a motif and adapting disparate materials to create functional and comfortable chairs without compromising on the necessary qualities of their essential nature. In Alexs world, sculpture and furniture design share many common . . .

| Dana Ann Scheurer
Dana Ann Scheurer’s “Watercolors” are a new and whimsical surrealism, rich in inventive images of architectural and geometric forms. In absurd juxtaposition, Old Masters, humanoid sculptures, paintbrushes, palettes, bicycles, and fish are accompanied by and orchestra of musical instruments and keyboards. Intimate columns in complex corridors of architectural spaces weave through interior and exterior landscapes, as an occasional “Saturn on a String” dances over head. Scheurer’s mastery of her medium allows her to create a poetry of detail that leads to delights that are the rewards of repeated viewing of her work. The spiritual impact of these gentle watercolors is a general feeling of an intense, benign, and beautiful universe welcoming us all with all its wonders. Scheurer’s work has been described as “highly idiosyncratic, funny, challenging and precise, and a little difficult to describe in print.”
Scheurer has lived in Reston since 1981. She studied Intaglio Printmaking at Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana and The John Herron Art Institute in Indianapolis. The structure and well-defined edges of her watercolors are direct result of her printmaking background.
When not painting, Scheurer and husband of 34 years compete in marathons and triathlons. She most recently completed her third Boston Marathon. She combined the disciplines of both athletics and art when designing the 2003 Reston Triathlon poster.
Selected works are now being reproduced as limited edition Iris Giclee prints by the master printers at Old Town Editions, of Alexandria, Virginia. Each print is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. A partial client list of other works reproduced at Old Town Editions includes, The Library of Congress, The Smithsonian Institution, The National Holocaust Museum, The Freer-Sackler Museum, The National Portrait Gallery and The U.

Sculpture, Is Dead
By KEN JOHNSON
Published: April 29, 2006
Isaac Witkin, a sculptor whose bold, colorful abstractions helped to shake up the art scenes in London and New York in the 1960s, died on Sunday at his home in Pemberton, N.J. He was 69.
The cause was a heart attack, said his daughter Nadine Witkin.
In his 20s in London, Mr. Witkin was part of a new generation of artists who changed the face of British sculpture. His brightly colored fiberglass works were nonrepresentational but had a witty, Pop Art-like look. He had his first solo exhibition in 1963 at the Rowan Gallery in London and two years later was included in an important show at the Whitechapel Art Gallery called; The New Generation: 1965.
In 1966 his work appeared in one of Minimalisms defining exhibitions, the famous: Primary Structures show at the Jewish Museum in New York. In later decades Mr. Witkin produced elegant abstractions in welded steel and cast bronze, which he exhibited at Marlborough Gallery in the 70s, at Hirschl & Adler Galleries in the 80s and in the last two decades at Locks Gallery in Philadelphia.
Isaac Witkin was born on May 10, 1936, in Johannesburg. He attended the St. Martins School of Art (now Central St. Martins College of Art and Design) in London, where he studied with the sculptor Anthony Caro, and his fellow students included the sculptors Barry Flanagan, Phillip King and William Tucker, who all achieved international reputations.
After finishing his formal studies in 1960, Mr. Witkin worked as an assistant to Henry Moore for two and a half years before returning to St. Martins to teach. In 1965 he took a teaching position at Bennington College in Bennington, Vt. In the 60s the school was a magnet for modernist artists like Mr. Caro, Kenneth Noland, Paul Feeley and Jules Olitski, who, along with the critic Clement Greenberg, collectively came to be known in the art world as: the Green Mountain boys. Mr. Witkin taught at Bennington until 1979.
After moving to Bennington, he created welded steel works reflecting the influences of Mr. Caro and David Smith, joining heavy industrial steel forms with complex Cubist compositions. From the late 70s on, he worked mainly in bronze. He poured molten metal into sand molds, creating organic forms that he assembled into monumental sculptures recalling the works of his mentor Moore.
Mr. Witkin, who became an American citizen in 1975, moved to New Jersey in the early 80s. In 1987 he bought a 22-acre blueberry farm in Pemberton and lived there the rest of his life. After leaving Bennington, Mr. Witkin held teaching positions at Middlebury College, Parsons School of Design, the Philadelphia College of Art (now part of the University of the Arts) and, most recently, Burlington County Community College in New Jersey.
Mr. Witkins marriage to Thelma Appel Johnson ended in divorce. In addition to his daughter Nadine, of Manhattan, he is survived by another daughter, Tamar Witkin-Marcus of Milford, Conn.; his brother, Jacob Witkin of Burbank, Calif.; and his sister, Deborah Witkin of Johannesburg.

| | Art Websites | Chihuly, the modern master of glass sculpture
Dale Chihuly is most frequently lauded for revolutionizing the Studio Glass movement, by expanding its original premise of the solitary artist working in a studio environment to encompass the notion of collaborative teams and a division of labor within the creative process. However, Chihulys contribution extends well beyond the boundaries of both this movement and even the field of glass: his achievements have influenced contemporary art in general. Chihulys practice of using teams has led to the development of complex, multipart sculptures of dramatic beauty that place him in the leadership role of moving blown glass out of the confines of the small, precious object and into the realm of large-scale contemporary sculpture. In fact, Chihuly deserves credit for establishing the blown-glass form as an accepted vehicle for installation and environmental art, beginning in the late twentieth century and continuing today.
A prodigiously prolific artist whose work balances content with an investigation of the materials properties of translucency and transparency, Chihuly began working with glass at a time when reverence for the medium and for technique was paramount. A student of interior design and architecture in the early 1960s, by 1965 he had become captivated by the process of glassblowing. He enrolled in the University of Wisconsins hot glass program, the first of its kind in the United States, established by Studio Glass movement founder Harvey K. Littleton. After receiving a degree in sculpture, Chihuly was admitted to the ceramics program at the Rhode Island School of Design, only to establish its renowned glass program, turning out a generation of recognized artists.
Influenced by an environment that fostered the blurring of boundaries separating all the arts, as early as 1967 Chihuly was using neon, argon, and blown-glass forms to create room-sized installations of organic, freestanding, plantlike imagery. He brought this interdisciplinary approach to the arts to the legendary Pilchuck School in Stanwood, Washington, which he cofounded in 1971 and served as its first artistic director until 1989. Under Chihulys guidance, Pilchuck has become a gathering place for international artists with diverse backgrounds. His studios, which include an old racing-shell factory in Seattle called The Boathouse and now buildings in the Ballard section of the city and in Tacoma, Washington, have become a mecca for artists, collectors, and museum professionals involved in all media.
Stylistically during the past forty years, Chihulys sculptures in glass have explored color, line, and assemblage. Although his work ranges from the single vessel to indoor/outdoor site-specific installations, he is best known for his multipart blown compositions. These works fall into the categories of mini-environments designed for the tabletop and large, often serialized forms displayed in groupings on pedestals or attached to specially engineered structures that dominate large exterior or interior spaces.
Chihuly and his teams have created a wide vocabulary of blown forms, revisiting and refining earlier shapes while at the same time creating exciting new elements, such as his recent Fiori, all of which demonstrate mastery and understanding of glassblowing techniques. Earlier forms, such as the Baskets, Seaforms, Ikebana, Venetians, and Chandeliers from the late 1970s through the 1990s, continue to reappear with fresh variations and within new contexts.
Since the early 1980s, all of Chihulys work has been marked by intense, vibrant color and by subtle linear decoration. At first he achieved patterns by fusing into the surface of his vessels “drawings” composed of prearranged glass threads; he then had his forms blown in optic molds, which created ribbed motifs. He also explored in the Macchia series bold, colorful lip wraps that contrasted sharply with the brilliant colors of his vessels. Finally, beginning with the Venetians of the early 1990s, elongated, linear blown forms, a product of the glassblowing process, have become part of his vocabulary, resulting in highly baroque, writhing elements.
Chihulys work is strongly autobiographical. His fascination with abstracted flower forms, reminiscent for him of his mothers garden in Tacoma, has been discussed in depth in the literature. Likewise, series such as his Seaforms, Niijima Floats, and even the Chandeliers allude to his childhood in Tacoma, marked by his love of the sea and his recognition of its importance to the economy of the Pacific Northwest. Even in the few instances in which the artist has chosen to respond to earlier historical decorative arts forms, the imagery has personal significance. The Basket series, for instance, developed out of the woven Northwest Coast Indian baskets that Chihuly saw in 1977 with his friend the sculptor Italo Scanga and with the sculptor James Carpenter at the Tacoma Historical Society.
Over the years the artist has created a number of memorable installation exhibitions, including Chihuly Over Venice (1995–96), Chihuly in the Light of Jerusalem 2000 at the Tower of David Museum of the History of Jerusalem (2000), Chihuly in the Park: A Garden of Glass at Chicagos Garfield Park Conservatory (2001–2), the Chihuly Bridge of Glass in Tacoma (2002), and Mille Fiori at the Tacoma Art Museum (2003). These installations confirm the artists sensitivity to architectural context and his interest in the interplay of natural light on the glass that exploits its translucency and transparency. Recent situations have heightened this effect, since the buildings Chihuly has selected as sites for the works have themselves been of glass.
While elements of the earlier installations allude to natural phenomena such as icicles and vegetation, gardens provide the dominant theme in Chihulys most recent ones. Sites that include Chicagos Garfield Park Conservatory and the Franklin Park Conservatory in Columbus, Ohio, as well as future projects at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens and Kew Gardens, London, enable the artist to juxtapose monumental, organically shaped sculptural forms with beautiful landscaping, establishing a direct and immediate interaction between nature and art. Moreover, Chihulys most recent installations at the Tacoma Art Museum and at Marlborough Gallery, New York, reveal the artists progression toward a logical next direction: installations that are gardens themselves. In a sense, Chihuly has come full circle; now using his mature vocabulary, he captures in these installations the joie de vivre of the plantlike forms of his early neon environments.
A dominant presence in the art world, Dale Chihuly and his work have long provoked considerable controversy as part of the art/craft debate. However, with exhibitions at such major museum venues as the Victoria and Albert in London (2001), there can be little doubt that his lasting contribution to art of our times is an established fact.

As an artist and an individual I have always tried to follow the saying,
“Infinite diversity in infinite combinations.”
To myself these words represent an openness to new ideas, events, and individuals. I feel that this statement strongly represents my work as an artist, incorporating new ideas, techniques, and materials that I come across daily.
My life as an artist has opened my eyes to the diversity in our world, from the nuance of every leaf to the magnificent blaze of industrial lights of a city at night.
Diversity is what makes our world.
As an artist, as an individual I cannot let myself be contained to the traditional ideals of what is the “correct” way to create, to be an artist. I create what I see and feel, and as each day is new and different, I challenge myself with new ways to create, new ways to express myself.

Experience true weld control and precision with TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding. The TIG process lets you weld thinner material than other processes. If you want to solve problems related to burn-through or warping when Stick or wire welding, TIG might be the solution. TIG also provides excellent fusion. While it is hard to learn, takes a lot of skill and is slow, the quality of a TIG weld bead meets the needs of sculptors, foundries and other critical applications. TIG also produces the best looking weld beads, which is why it is often specified when cosmetic appearances really count — and why TIG welding operators are considered the artists of the welding world.

| Stainless Steel Grinding
Enhance your grinding productivity with fewer grinding steps.
In the metal sculpture fabrication business grinding is an expensive proposition. This is especially true when stainless steel is involved. In sculpture studios specializing in stainless steel art labor intensive grinding and finishing processes can be as important to overall project cost and quality as welding. The specific finishes demanded by public sculpture projects drive costs by requiring multi step finishing operations to achieve desired results.
The traditional abrasive products that have been used to grind welds in stainless steel fabrication commonly produce rough finishes and discoloration due to excessive heat. In order to eliminate these undesirable side effects of the weld grinding operation, several subsequent blending steps are typically required to produce an acceptable result. Additional blending steps add cost to the production process, increase operator fatigue and significantly reduce productivity.
Weilers Tiger Disc for Stainless Steel is a coated abrasive product that offers a solution to the high labor costs which normally accompany stainless steel weld grinding. By simultaneously producing a high cut rate and a smooth finish, this product reduces the amount of time spent in expensive intermediate finishing operations. In addition, it runs smoother and quieter than traditional products and produces little or no heat discoloration. These characteristics combine to produce a product that can significantly impact the high costs of grinding and finishing stainless steel sculpture.

Hanne Darboven: Hommage à Picasso
February 4 until April 23, 2006
Hanne Darboven’s installation Hommage à Picasso engulfs the viewer in 9,720 of the artist’s signature sheets of paper with handwritten numeric writing, which are encased in 270 framed panels and document the last decade of the twentieth century. She combines this record of the turn of the millennium with a framed lithograph of a Picasso’s 1955 painting Seated Figure in Turkish, a series of purchased and commissioned sculptures ranging from a bronze, Roman-style bust of Picasso to birch-twig donkeys made in Poland, and the newly-produced musical work Opus 60 adapted from her score.
Taken together, the various components of the installation paint a multi-layered portrait of the artists Pablo Picasso and Hanne Darboven, which interrogates the fundamental issue of repetition and citation in art. Darboven examines both the concept of signature style, which is fundamentally about self-referentiality and the consistent reiteration of the same or similar motifs and approaches, and the practice of directly engaging aspects of the work of another artist, either in homage or as a means to one’s own artistic ends. Thus, the very notion of originality stands at the core of Hommage à Picasso.

| Brookgreen Sculpture Park & Gardens
In 1930, with a plan to build a winter home, philanthropist Archer Huntington and his wife, sculptor Anna Hyatt Huntington, purchased four plantations encompassing some 9,000 acres stretching from the Waccamaw River to the Atlantic Ocean. Soon after the purchase, Archer Huntington revised their plan and, in 1931, received a charter from the State of South Carolina to form Brookgreen Gardens, A Society for Southeastern Flora and Fauna -- a non-profit corporation having the mission to collect, preserve and exhibit native plants, animals and objects of art. Endowed by a gift from the Huntingtons, Brookgreen Gardens opened to the public the following year.
Brookgreen Gardens is now a National Historic Landmark with the most significant outdoor collection of figurative sculpture by American artists in the world. It also contains the Lowcountry History and Wildlife Preserve, and the only zoo on the coast in the Carolinas accredited by the American Zoo and Aquarium Association (AZA).

| Art Studio Exhibit Henry Moore and other Sculptors
Close Encounters is an exhibition that looks at the individual sculptors studio. It takes a closer look at how photography articulated a changing notion of the studio and of sculptural endeavour, redefining the objects and environments of sculpture itself. The exhibitions span, from the late 19th to the mid-20th century, was the heyday of the individual sculptors studio and coincided with the expanding use of photography in the visual arts. Studio photographs, whether published or private, were used to do more than simply document an individual work and often communicate the complicated relationship between sculptor, object and environment.
Close Encounters begins with a selection of photographs which invite the viewer to move from close-up images of sculpture and sculptor, to studio panoramas in which the sculptor does not appear at all. Approximately 60 photographs are on display and the studios of both avant-garde and academic sculptors working in Britain and France are represented. The studios of Epstein, Gill, Hepworth, Archipenko, Zadkine, Brancusi and Gaudier-Brzeska (amongst others) can be seen in the company of sculpture by Rodin, Moore and Picasso.
The focus of the exhibition is Brassaïs groundbreaking series of studio photographs, reproduced in 1933 in the Surrealist journal Minotaure, after Maurice Raynal’s article Dieu-Table-Cuvette. Important sculptures by Brancusi, Giacometti, Lipchitz, Laurens, Despiau and Maillol will be displayed in front of large-scale versions of the photographs in which these very works actually appeared. In the final gallery we move from large-scale pieces staged in the studio setting to small-scale, horizontal sculptures which resemble miniature studio ensembles in their own right. Sculptures by Moore, Hepworth, Arp and Turnbull, dating from the early 1930s to the mid-1950s, encourage us to rethink our focus once again as we encounter smaller set pieces from above and in the round.
In the adjacent Study Galleries of Leeds City Art Gallery we present a small complementary exhibition of Maquettes for Monuments by Jean Dubuffet (1901-85), all borrowed from the Dubuffet Foundation. These maquettes, created between 1967 and 1970, take up the theme of internal and external viewpoints by showing the artists development of fantastic monuments into which the viewer could enter. Presented in the year of Dubuffets centenary, the selection focuses on his long-running Hourloupe cycle which culminated in the Tour aux Figures eventually erected outside Paris (1985-88) as a memorial to the artist himself.

Futurism Sculptor
Umberto Boccioni was an Italian painter and sculptor and a member of the Futurist movement. Like other Futurists, his work centered on the portrayal of movement (dynamism), speed, and technology. Born Oct. 19, 1882 - Died July 17, 1916 Umberto Boccioni studied art through the Scuola Libera del Nudo at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Rome, beginning in 1901. He also studied design with a sign painter in Rome. In 1902, Boccioni studied Impressionist and Post-Impressionist styles in Paris. During later 1906 and early 1907, he took drawing classes at the Accademia di Belle Arti. In 1901, Boccioni first visited the Famiglia Artistica, a society for artists in Milan. There he became acquainted with fellow Futurists including the famous poet Filippo Tommaso Marinetti. The two would later join with others in writing manifestos on Futurism.
Artwork
Boccioni was both a Futurist painter and sculptor. One of Umberto Boccionis best known paintings is The street enters the house (La Strada Entra Nella Casa) in the Sprengel Museum in Hannover, Germany which featured an exhibition on futurism in 2001. Other important Boccioni works include the bronze scupture, Unique Forms of Continuity in Space (1913) and the painting, The City Rises (1910). His first solo exhibition was held in 1910 at the Galleria Ca Pesaro in Venice.
Style
Boccioni expressed the overarching beliefs of Futurism in his Techincal Manifesto of Futurist Sculpture. Other works that he co-authored include Manifesto of the Futurist Painters and Techincal Manifesto of Futurist Painting published around 1910. In 1912, Boccioni shifted to sculpture and published his Manifesto of Futurist Sculpters. All of these writings call for young artists to intensely pursue living, dynamic, and original forms of art. Traditional art techniques and styles were discarded and art critics ignored. Futurists glorified transformations of the world brought on by science. Boccioni died after falling off a horse during a training exercise for World War One.
| Kunsthalle Bielefeld Germany
The Kunsthalle Bielefeld is a museum exhibiting modern and contemporary art. Its important collection of twentieth-century art includes works by Picasso, Sonia and Robert Delaunay, Max Beckmann, Man Ray, members of the Brücke and the Blaue Reiter, the constructivists of the 1920s with Lázló Moholy-Nagy and Oskar Schlemmer, American and German art of the 1970s and 80s, and international sculpture by artists ranging from Rodin to Serra, Schütte, and Eliasson in the park at the Kunsthalle.
International sculpture
Henry Moore (1898-1986) placed a monumental bronze sculpture (Oval with Points) in the center of the Kunsthalles sculpture park, where it has stood to this day. Viewed from straight ahead, the work refers to the architecture of the building, and at the same time, creates an optical link to the greenery surrounding it. Symbolized in the warm, brown and green shimmering patina of the bronze oval are Moores principles of representation: openness and unity, softness and metallic strength, sharpness and curves, as well as power and calm. In the form, Moore sought to harmonize natural opposites.
In 1880 Auguste Rodin (1840-1917) was commissioned to create a relief in the shape of an imaginary door for the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris. The figure of the THINKER became the main motif for this Porte de l’Enfer, the Gates of Hell. Inspired by Dantes Divine Comedy and themes from Baudelaire, the Gate to Hell visualizes things that drive and torture human beings. The melancholy Thinker has been sitting in front of the Kunsthalle since 1968. He embodies a kind of mediation on the general purpose of humankind: to understand itself by contemplating itself. In compliance with the artists wish, a cast of the THINKER was also placed on his grave in Meudon, near Paris.
Thomas Schütte (born 1954) has been one of the best known German artists in the world since the 1980s. The first bronze cast from his series of WOMAN was first shown in 2000 in the park of Castle Wendlinghausen in the town of Dörentrup, county of Lippe. The WOMAN now on display in the Kunsthalle park is the first of ten figures, first cast in steel in 1999, and after 2000, in bronze. Like an enormous odalisque, the bare-bosomed woman reclines with her legs slightly open upon the table, her massive physicality both exciting and mysterious. Instead of a face, the empty oval of a mask conceals any possible personal identity.
The INFINITY, conceived in 1999 for the Venice Biennial, brought its creator, Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson (born 1967), the renowned Benesse Prize. The visitor can walk around the work of art, enter it, or while away some time inside of it. Despite its circular structure, it seems almost without a center. Alongside the pink sandstone cubes of the Kunsthalle, the stainless steel pavilion forms an exciting bridge between the organic, round form and the cube. The work was recreated in 2001 for the Kunsthalles collection. Eliasson is interested in representing physical laws in geometric form. The INFINITY has neither beginning nor end and therefore conveys an image of infinity

The Estate of Glee and Robert Ries Endowment and the Amstrong Society for the Arts
Perhaps more so than any other modern artist, Catalan-born artist Joan Miró (1893–1983) embraced the power and beauty of the illustrated book. The artists book, livre dartist, was a major vehicle of artistic expression for him and he completed over 250 titles in his lifetime. Through a varied selection of ten publications illustrated by the artist over the course of his long career, this exhibition explores the artistic vitality of Mirós accomplishments in the medium.
Though best known as a painter, Miró often abandoned painting for months or years at a time and experimented with other media. His oeuvre includes important works in sculpture, ceramics, murals, textiles, and printmaking. Miró was a prolific graphic artist, and the sheer number of illustrated books he created reveals his enthusiasm and great affinity for the written word. His love of literature was deepened through his friendships with important writers and poets. During his career Miró formed an extraordinary poetic vocabulary comprised of fantastic shapes and abstract symbols. His dreamlike surrealist compositions evolved into a pure, elemental personal iconography that is both simple and confounding. The bold shapes and forms that populate his illustrated books often evoke both the spirit and rhythm of poetry, but Mirós illustration work for books was not merely descriptive; rather, he interpreted a text in his own distinctive way and abstractly and boldly proposed a reading of his own. JOAN MIRÓ: Illustrated Books shows how the artists graphic works express, on a smaller scale, the same concerns of his paintings—color, line, and a universal formal language—and achieves similarly stunning results.
JOAN MIRÓ: Illustrated Books was organized by Curatorial Assistance Traveling Exhibitions (CATE), Los Angeles, and curated by Robin McCarthy. The illustrated books in this exhibition are lent courtesy Leslie Sacks, Los Angeles.

View Calder’s mobiles, stabiles, drawings, and paintings in this small exhibition presented annually at the MCA. These works, drawn primarily from the Leonard and Ruth Horwich Family Loan and dating from 1927 to 1968, demonstrate the artist’s development throughout his 50-year career. Calder combined colorful shapes taken from nature, such as snowflakes, birds, and animals, with an interest in mechanics to create whimsical mobiles that move with air currents. His explorations of both geometric and organic shapes have distinguished him as an

| ONTARIO GALLERY OF ART
When art meets architecture, powerful experiences take shape. From Frank Gehry, the Toronto-born architect who exploded architectural traditions on the international scene, comes the transformed AGO, where light-filled galleries comprise 47 percent more exhibition space. Presenting an open and animated streetscape, the new face of the AGO stretches a full city block in a dramatic sweep of glass and Douglas fir. Visitors are welcomed through a new entrance opening onto historic Walker Court. The AGO meeting place at the front of the Gallery features a contemporary art space, fine dining, a casual cafe and bar, a two-level gift shop and bookstore, Jackman Hall lecture theatre and the new Members Lounge.
Because art matters, AGO is building on the strengths of the AGO collection and venturing into bold new areas. Coming soon to the transformed AGO is a gift of international importance from collector Kenneth Thomson, featuring more than 2,000 extraordinary Canadian and European works. Photography at the Gallery also gains new power through a gift of three outstanding collections of 20th-century photographs. The AGO will also celebrate the art of world cultures through a gift of the most significant collection of Oceanic art outside Australia and magnificent works from the prestigious Frum Collection of African Art. Together with new endowments for the acquisition of contemporary art, Transformation AGO will dramatically reshape visitors experiences with art. The Frum Collection of African Art, celebrates great sculptural traditions through iconic, masterful examples from carvers in Nigeria, Mali, and other western African countries. Together these works represent one of the most significant donations of African art to a North American museum. The Frum gifts will distinguish the AGO as the home of one of the most prestigious collection of African sculpture in the world. In a collection already marked by the great names, from Bernini through Rodin to Henry Moore, sculpture from parallel traditions will allow us to raise important questions about the role of art in a variety of world cultures.

Read Bluffton Breeze Magazine online for local events, and South Carolina low country living special features. Check out the January 2008 issue, it features a two page article that I wrote, titled: "Art beyond Traditionalism via. Non-traditional Marketing" An elderly family friend said to me nearly 30 years ago, “Stephen, it takes 15 years to become an overnight success.” While there are exceptions to every rule, I know I am not the exception to his rule. Even with several successful commissions under my belt, it’s already been twice as long as Warren Talman said it would take, and I have a long way to go. While working as marketing manager for Arrowhead Plastic Engineering I picked up another old-school adage, “It takes a million dollar budget to bring a new product to a national market.” And, yet this is what you can do on 1/10 of 1% of that, or perhaps even less, with the Internet, provided, you are marketing to a “niche” market. Why a niche market? Because the Internet has inverted the sales and marketing world; customers seek you out, and make their buying decisions by their first impression of your website and you must wait for them to call or email. Customers now find you via search engines. How do search engines find you? Good question, well, there is not a simple answer, but let’s start out with the text of your website. What are the keywords that best describe your niche market? (Example; my key words are: Abstract, Metal and Sculpture). If I tried to use only the word sculpture, to get on the first page of a major search engine like Google or Yahoo, I would be competing with 50 million websites and I would need to be in the top 10 to get on page one.
My sculpture is best described as abstract, and it is metal, not wood, stone, or ceramic. But even narrowing the field of possibilities down to abstract-metal-sculptures I am still competing with 1.7 million sculptors and art galleries. So how did I get to page one? Well I had a lot of help from friends along the way, and it took seven or eight years (That’s how long I have had a website). The first year I had a website, I had only a few hundred visitors, and perhaps 1,000 the second year, yet now I have 500+ a week.
After you have picked your key-words, then create text for your website and use the key words generously (where relevant), keeping in mind that search engines prefer large websites. You will also want links coming to your website, but never accept a link from a link-farm (a link farm is a website that is in the business of providing links and while they may get you traffic, they may also get your website black-listed by search engines). The best links come from websites with similar content to your own. For example: if you are an artist, ask other artists to link to you, and then link to them because “what goes around, comes around.” Now you have arrived, right? Not hardly!
You have a billboard on the information highway, so what else can you do? You still need to advertise your website, and you need to keep it current, add more links, get more links coming to you, and make the website bigger and better every month. Check your key words on one of the major search engines. Is your website coming up? If so on what page? Try adding your city and state to the search words, and if that does not work, try searching using your name (I am assuming your name and address is on your website). I personally don’t trust websites without names and addresses. I think your picture should be on the website too because gaining your client’s trust is the real key to success.
Now what? Well, at some point you will get your first email or phone call from someone who has visited your website; they want to buy from you, but they need confidence to do so and it is up to you to instill that trust into the new prospective customer. This should come naturally to you because you already like them because they like your work or else they would not have contacted you, and you know that it is worth what you are asking for it. Ask them what they like about it, share your thoughts about the work too, but most of all listen to what they have to say. Your new customers will help you be even more successful, if you really listen.
I decided to move to the Lowcountry area five years ago, before I really knew what I was doing with my website. Two factors influenced my decision. The first was from Picasso, he said to young emerging artists, “The most important thing is not to ask too much for your art, then you will sell your art and it will travel all over the world,” (What a great launching pad the Lowcountry would be with their 3 plus million visitors/year, I thought to myself!). The second reason I relocated, was because I felt hedged in by my midwestern roots in Muncie, Indiana. I knew from visiting great cities like New York, Chicago, Miami and LA that I get claustrophobic feelings that would make it difficult or impossible for me to work there. Yet via the Internet I have sold works in all of these great cities and many, many more.
One of my clients is Café Tu Tu Tango in Coconut Grove, Florida. Early last year they found my website and purchased a human scale figurative piece titled “The Artist.” Even before I delivered it, they called and asked if I could make a second one for their Orlando Restaurant, then last fall they asked me to make one for the grand opening of their newest location, the Palisades Mall in Nyack, NY (second only to Mall of America).
These sales were on the heels, of a 20 piece sculpture commission that went to a condo renovation in Aventura Florida. This year started out with Charles Prout’s (of Hilton Head Island) purchase and subsequent donation of a stainless sculpture titled, “Bluffton Breeze” to Converse College in Spartanburg, SC in honor of his wife. I was invited to speak to a packed classroom of graduate students, as well as honored to hear Charles speak to the board about his wife and the profound effect her years at Converse had on their life together. My largest commission to date came from Rancho Cucamonga, CA. It was for the corporate headquarters of a large insurance company in the LA area. It was a mirror finish stainless steel sculpture that represented the founder’s four family members, titled “Secure Together.” In addition to this project I had five sculptures commissioned by an attorney in Chicago this year. I also was commissioned to make a sculpture for the Simmon Family as a thank you gift for a 50 million dollar donation they made to the IU medical center.
Perhaps these opportunities come my way because, I have taken Picasso’s advise and not asked too much for my work. Even so, I don’t care, because I love being paid to do what I love.
Stephen’s sculptures can be viewed at The Gallery in Beaufort, The South Carolina Artisans Center in Walterboro, and he will also be exhibiting at a show on Hilton Head Island in October at The Arts. www.StephenKishel.com
