John Chamberlain, born in 1927, studied sculpture at Black Mountain College before
beginning a career in art that lasted many decades. His most notable works were large-scale
sculptures made of crumpled scrap metal, a material which he used throughout his career
thanks in part to its ready availability. His first piece, Shortstop, brought together many
blackened car fenders, building on the concept of the readymade in Surrealist art.
Over the course of his career, he branched out into other materials besides scrap metal,
including foam and plexiglass. Many of these pieces remain untitled and little known,
though he also created works which became famous during this time. One large-scale piece,
1984's AmericanTableau, included numerous crushed cars of different colors. His works have
been part of many exhibitions, while his work in crushed cars remains in upstate NewYork
on permanent display.
