Berry Campbell is pleased to announce its first exhibition of Ibram Lassaw (1913-2003), one of the foremost American abstract sculptors of the twentieth century. Lassaw merged technique and form in his process-based “action sculpture”—considered both a counterpart to and an inventive variation on Abstract Expressionist “action painting.” An early advocate of “truth to materials,” he is best known for his direct-metal, open-space welded sculptures in which he united both geometric and biomorphic forms. Lassaw’s enduring passion was to explore relationships between space and matter, reflecting his abiding belief in universal order and cosmic harmony.
