Mark di Suvero
Encyclopedia
Marco Polo "Mark" di Suvero is an American abstract expressionist sculptor born Marco Polo Levi in Shanghai
, China
in 1933 to Italian expatriates. He immigrated to San Francisco, California
in 1942 with his family. From 1953 to 1957, he attended the University of California, Berkeley
to study Philosophy. He later moved to New York City
where he was surrounded by an explosion of Abstract Expressionism. While working in construction, he was critically injured in a freight elevator accident and focused all his attention on sculpture.
While in rehabilitation, he learned to work with an arc welder. His early works were large outdoor pieces that incorporated railroad ties, tires, scrap metal and structural steel. This exploration has transformed over time into a focus on I-beams and heavy gauge metal. Many of the pieces contain sections that are allowed to swing and rotate giving the overall forms a considerable degree of motion. He prides himself on his hands-on approach to the fabrication and installation of his work.
di Suvero was a founding member of the Park Place Gallery
and ConStruct, both artist-owned galleries, the former was the first SoHo
Contemporary art
gallery and the latter promoted and organized large-scale sculpture exhibitions throughout the United States. Other founding members include John Raymond Henry
, Kenneth Snelson
, Lyman Kipp
and Charles Ginnever
.
His distinctive, large bold pieces can be found all over the world. He continues to be the subject of multiple exhibitions and his commitment to emerging artists is undeniable through the Athena Foundation and the Socrates Sculpture Park
. di Suvero has received the Lifetime Achievement in Contemporary Sculpture Award from the International Sculpture Center and, in 2005, the 11th Annual Heinz Award
in the Arts and Humanities for his commitment to aspiring artists.
di Suvero currently lives in New York City
with his second wife and daughter. He has three working studios, since 1981 in Long Island City, a former brickyard on the edge of the East River in Long Island ,an open air fabrication facility in Petaluma California, which he developed in partnership with first wife from 1975 to 1988 as the third studio on a river barge in Chalon-sur-Saône, France, since 1972.
He most recently published a book, titled Dreambook, a compilation of pictures of sculptures, poems, and ideas. The vibrant colors in it are reflected in the bright colors he always wears.
