- 3. The Sculptors Guild of New York has a renown and rich history of visionary and avante garde artists of divergent aesthetics, and its members have been contributing to the cultural landscape of New York, for over 70 years through public and professional exhibitions. This exhibition is a celebration of the Sculptors Guild History and its members, from renown artists such as Louise Bourgeois, Jose de Creeft, Chaim Gross, Louise Nevelson, Clement Meadmore, George Rickey, and Mark DiSuvero, to the more contemporary, and assimilated sculptures of our new members addressing, concept, installation and computer generated sculpture. The Sculptors Guild Membership is based on nominated sculptors with proven qualities of personal and professional excellence, and the exhibition celebrates the diver- sity with which artists have explored the third dimension Archival to Contemporary, Six Decades of the Sculptors Guild is an exhilarating frenzy of sculpture ranging from the luminary works of Louise Bourgeous and David Smith, to the acrobatic figures of Chaim Gross, the erotic aluminum wall relief’s of Hal Buckner, to the expressionistic life-size castings of Leonda Finke, and the investigation of the beauty in obesity by Mary-Ellen Scherl Hybrids of reality, fantasy and displacement morphed in a hysterical assemblage of legs, (like a futuristic Hans Bellmer) in the work of Michael Rees, and continue in the work of Ann Chahbandour, in a fable like bronze narrative of a wolf being converted by Saint Frances in a boxing ring . All this while Eric Guzman’s wall sculptures redefine kinetic, and the engineered light sensitive installation BION of Adam Brown ignites the Tilles Center for the Performing Arts. The history of sculpture is evident throughout the exhibition. Content is addressed and references to the ready-made are visable in the steel covered Bible of James Greco, as Peter Dudeks installation Monument to my Lovelife combines Art de Povera (found objects) fused with a Mondrian sensibility, and Kim Kimball presents a radical renewal of Brancusi’s Endless Tower, in his 16’ construction made of pipe cleaners... My exhibition criteria were to celebrate the past, the present, and the future of the Guild, exhibiting the evolution and consistent re-definition of the third dimension. Through visits to foundations and the studios of contemporary sculptors who are currently members, I discovered the rich history of the Guild, and recognized an inspired ebb and flow of influences ranging from traditional, contextual, conceptual and technological approaches that continue to redefine sculpture in the 20th Century.
