JOEL PERLMAN
(New York 1943 - lebt und arbeitet in New York)
Whisper. 1976.
Polierter Stahl.
Unten rechts auf der Plinthe monogrammiert und datiert: JP76.
95 x 38 x 17 cm.

Provenienz:
- 1977 vom heutigen Besitzer bei Galerie André Emmerich, Zürich/New York, erworben.
- Seitdem Privatbesitz Schweiz.

Ausstellungen:
- Zürich 1976, Small Scale Sculpture. Galerie André Emmerich, 12. Juni - 28. August 1976.
- Zürich 1977, Joel Perlman. Galerie André Emmerich, 3. September - 15. Oktober 1977.

Der New Yorker Bildhauer Joel Perlman wird 1943 in New York geboren. 1965 macht er seinen B.F.A. an der Cornell University und schliesst zwei Jahre später sein Studium mit einem M.A. an der University of California, Berkley, ab. Seit 1973 unterrichtet er an der University of Visual Arts, New York.

Seine teils überlebensgrossen Skulpturen sind immer die intensive Auseinandersetzung mit Gewicht, Monumentalität, Raum, Schwerkraft und Gefahr. Dabei fertigt er keine Vorzeichnungen an, sondern lässt die Skulptur direkt aus dem Schaffensprozess entstehen. Ein wichtiger Bestandteil seiner Arbeit ist das Schweissen, das für den Betrachter die Bedeutung des offensichtlichen Entstehungsprozesses nochmals verdeutlicht.

"While minimalism was the predominant style of his generation, Perlman chose to push his forms into ever-more complicated, gravity defying, configurations. Though he shares certain qualities with his peers - the thrill of danger in a Richard Serra, the blue-collar heroism of Mark diSuervo - Perlman always investigates with originality. He expands, rather than apporpriates, enriching our experience with industrial materials." (zit. www.sculpture.org)

JOEL PERLMAN
(New York 1943 - lives and works in New York)
Whisper. 1976.
Polished steel.
Monogrammed and dated on the plinth lower right: JP76.
95 x 38 x 17 cm.

Provenance:
- Acquired from Galerie André Emmerich, Zurich/New York, by the present owner in 1977.
- Since then privately owned Switzerland.

Exhibitions:
- Zurich 1976, Small Scale Sculpture. Galerie André Emmerich, 12 June - 28 August 1976.
- Zurich 1977, Joel Perlman. Galerie André Emmerich, 3 September - 15 October 1977.

The sculptor Joel Perlman was born in New York in 1943. Having obtained his B.F.A. at the Cornell University in 1965, he completed his studies two years later with an M.A. from the University of California, Berkeley. Joel Perlman has been teaching at the University of Visual Arts, New York, since 1973.

His sculptures, which are mostly larger-than-life, are always the reflexion of his creative process and of a great tension between weight, monumentality, space, gravity and danger. And yet he never makes any preparatory drawings, but only lets the sculpture develop during the creative process. A considerable part of his work is devoted to welding, which once again renders visible to the spectator the significance of his creative work.

He expands, rather than appropriates, enriching our experience with industrial materials." (zit. www.sculpture.org)
