Clement Meadmore, Sculptor in Metal
NY Times
Clement Meadmore, a sculptor who wrestled hulking lengths of steel into abstract artworks of arresting fluidity and lightness, died on Tuesday in New York. He was 76 and lived in Manhattan.
The cause was complications from Parkinson’s disease, said Peter Rose, a New York art dealer who represented him.
A native of Australia who moved to the United States in the 1960’s, Mr. Meadmore was renowned internationally for for his massive outdoor pieces made of square-sided steel beams bent or coiled into sinuous forms. Monumental in scale - some were 25 feet tall, others 45 feet long - his sculptures can be found on college campuses, at corporate headquarters and in the collections of major museums around the world.
