Mark di Suvero (1933) — Auction price
Marco Polo di Suvero, better known as Mark di Suvero, is an abstract expressionist sculptor and 2010 National Medal of Arts recipient.
Mark di Suvero gained an almost instant recognition among art critics with his first solo exhibit at the Green Gallery in the fall of 1960. His early works were large outdoor pieces that incorporated wooden timbers from demolition buildings, tires, scrap metal, and structural steel. This exploration has transformed over time into a focus on H-beams and heavy steel plates. Many of the pieces contain sections that are allowed to swing and rotate giving the overall forms a considerable degree of motion. Di Suvero pioneered the use of a crane as a sculptor's working tool.
