Project for Sculpture in Chalon-sur-Saône, 1992

Hand signed and dated by artist on lower right front

The rare signed watercolor by Mark di Suvero was a sculptural proposal created in 1992 for the town of Chalon-sur-Saone in France - one of the most influential places in the artist's long career. In the 1970s di Suvero lived in the industrial French town of Chalon-sur-Saône, on a houseboat anchored next to a waterfront shipyard, where he used cranes and cherry pickers to create a series of large-scale sculptures made of steel I-Beams. He was financed by a wealthy Frenchman who owned a steelyard, paid the artist's expenses, promoted his career and arranged exhibitions for him. As a result, in 1975, Mark di Suvero became the first artist to have a solo show at the Jardin des Tuileries in France --where many of his massive sculptures, with their large, familiar industrial I-Beam tripods, where exhibited. This drawing is annotated with the text: île Saint-Laurent and la Saône - all parts of Chalon-sur-Saône
The text of this proposal reads as follows:
La Saone
Ile St Laurent
Le Pont
For fans and collectors of Mark di Suvero's work and career, this is an extremely rare and desirable original drawing, referencing one of the most influential places periods in his career.

Mark di Suvero
Mark di Suvero is a key Abstract Expressionist who rose to prominence in the late 1950s due to his ground-breaking sculpture practice. His large sculptures would be comprised of leftover construction materials from demolition sites such as structural steel, wires, and other scraps, famously being put together through di Suvero's use of a crane. The subsequent sculptures produced simultaneously take on a constructivist, existentialist, and utopian quality. His work is intentionally installed in public spaces like parks and gardens in order to confront everyday viewers with the problems of contemporary industrialization and urban living. Di Suvero is the founder of the Socrates Sculpture Park, Park Place Gallery, and ConStruct. He has also received the International Sculpture Center's Lifetime Achievement in Contemporary Sculpture Award and the Heinz Award in the Arts and Humanities.
