Posted • I am thrilled to be showing 3 of my “Observed” series heads in Crossing the Hudson, a Sculptors Guild show juried by Tina Maneca at MORA Museum in Jersey City! The series was created in the aftermath of September 11th, so for those in NJ, and especially Jersey City right across the river from it, Tina’s choice of these heads is so perfect.

Posted • I made this sculpture in 2016, the first time the felon ran for president. It was a bitter race, starting with his infamous escalator ride, and he has taken the direction of the country unfathomably lower ever since. The flag is made of lead, a metal with poisonous properties. It is draped over a worn golden house, symbolizing the American ideals of freedom and equality (though they have never been lived up to). The title Amerika comes from the Franz Kafka novel of the same name. It sometimes feels we are living in Kafkaesque times.
Amerika and my sculpture Ghost Boat (this mortal coil) are included in the exhibition Crossing the Hudson, opening this Thursday, July 11th, 7-9 pm. at MORA, the Museum of International Art located at 80 Grand St. in Jersey City, NJ. I hope to see you there!

Our Story

History of the Sculptors Guild
During the 1930's American art had not yet been recognized as a significant force in the international Artworld. As the industrial world struggled through the Depression many American artists were dependent for their livelihoods on government art programs (WPA) while European artists were heavily favored by museums, galleries, and collectors.



The founding of Sculptors Guild in 1937 was a seminal event for Modern sculpture in America. The primary objectives of the founders as stated in an early exhibition catalogue were: "to unite sculptors of all progressive aesthetic tendencies into a vital organization in order to further the artistic integrity of sculpture and give it its rightful place in the cultural life of this country."



Sculptors Guild benefited from the generous support of notable sponsors and patrons such as Eleanor Roosevelt, Henry Morgenthau, Fiorello La Guardia, Conger Goodyear, Rockefeller Foundation, Directors of Metropolitan Museum of Art, Museum of Modern Art, Brooklyn Museum and Whitney Museum of American Art.
