Ink Sketch by Mark di Suvero
Ink Sketch by Mark di Suvero
Born in 1933, the son of an Italian diplomat in Shanghai, China, Marco Polo di Suvero immigrated with his family to the United States at the start of WWII. Working construction to support himself as an artist he was inspired by the materials he found on the jobsite and went on to produce monumental sculptures using wood timbers, wire cable and structural steel. In this quick, gestural drawing from 1974 di Suvero sketches the forms he would later translate into 3 dimensions. Sculptures by di Suvero can be found in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Moderna Museet in Stockholm, the Kröller-Müller Museum in the Netherlands, and the National Gallery of Australia
