Michael Malpass: Sculptor of Wit (1946-1991)
The drawings, collages, and metal sculptures of Michael Malpass in some ways embody a shift in 1970s America. From his black-smithed abstract figures, we see him pivot from a formalist aesthetic championed by his first gallerist, Betty Parsons, to a frontier of creativity that celebrates the found object. Meticulously, Malpass welded and fused together the industrial overstock of the collapsed manufacturing base in metro NYC.
