Albert Paley : Sculpture
No full textThe monumental site-specific metal assemblages former College at Brockport faculty member Albert Paley has created over the past three decades place him not only in the forefront of contemporary sculpture but also in the vanguard among artists working in the new, genre-defying area that has been called Archisculpture. This richly illustrated monograph presents the full spectrum of Albert Paley\u27s work. Paley goes beyond creating sculptures that stand as isolated works of art. His sculptures enhance the spaces in which they are placed and, in return, are enhanced by those spaces. He has established himself as an artist who is constantly pushing boundaries, questioning old categories and redefining himself in his own distinctive idiom, at once visionary and persuasively tangible. Noted art historian Donald Kuspit discusses Paley\u27s development as an artist, his virtuosity as a monumental sculptor and his diverse and significant achievements.https://digitalcommons.brockport.edu/bookshelf/1069/thumbnail.jp

Introduction by Carol Damian
Complementary contrasts the glass and steel sculptures of Albert Paley
No full text"'Complimentary Contrasts: The Glass and Steel Sculptures of Albert Paley' highlights the significance of glass in the work of the celebrated sculptor Albert Paley. Though best known for his large-scale metal sculptures, Paley has incorporated glass in many works for over a decade. After beginning his career as a jewelry maker, Paley soon transitioned to furniture and freestanding sculpture. In the 1970s, Paley delved into large, site-specific works that blurred the line between sculpture and architecture. Despite disparity in size, Paley's collective artworks display a synergy of forms and philosophy, favoring natural curves and lines that defy their rigid materials. In 1999 Paley was invited to Pilchuck Glass School to collaborate with artist Dante Marioni. His experience utilizing fire to manipulate metal translated naturally into his glass design and allowed him to embrace the new material with ease. Since this initial introduction, Paley has collaborated with a number of glass artists and created over a hundred sculptures incorporating glass."--Amazo
