| biography:
| Sculptor, born in San Francisco, California, USA. He studied art at California (Berkeley) and Yale universities, then went to Paris and Florence before settling in New York City. In the late 1960s he produced a series of films, and began manufacturing austere minimalist works from sheet steel, iron, and lead. Notable are the long arcs of sheet metal which can span city squares, and the cubic structures composed of massive metal plates balanced vertically against one another. Public commissions for such works have made him a controversial but highly influential artist. |
