color for me has always been a problem because i find color in a deep sense weakens a work. —alexander liberman

sculptor & painter

 

At the beginning of the 50s, struggling to forge an identity as an artist, Liberman began painting in an abstract post-Impressionistic manner and sculpting. He divided his time between his office and studio, explaining that he thought of art as a dangerous full-time profession. Liberman’s highly-recognizable sculptures are assembled from segments of steel I-beams, pipes, drums, and other industrial materials often painted in uniform bright colors. His sculptures and paintings are currently in many collections including the Metropolitan Museum, Corcoran, Guggenheim Museum, and the Tate Gallery in London.
