Made of organic materials such as horsehair, sisal and hemp rope, these complex three-dimensional forms broke new ground for art in the 1960s and 70s. Bringing together 26 of these radical works for the first time in the UK, the exhibition presents a forest of towering sculptures, enabling visitors to explore their ambiguous forms and earthy scents.

In fact, it was only at the time of his university studies that he made the decision to devote himself full time to painting. Supported by his family, who understood his need for him, he began the difficult path guided solely by the desire to find his own language that would allow him to bring out those contradictions that he was grasping and that he felt he had to clarify and denounce.

I was born and raised in New Jersey and currently live in Miami, Florida with my husband. I have 3 adult sons. I have been drawing since I was a little girl.

I thought of myself as someone who liked to draw, but never as an artist who liked to draw. Read more
