U.S.A. - SYRACUSE-NEW YORK - TIM SCOTT : THE SIXTIES - WHEN COLOUR WAS SCULPTURE

The Everson presents the monumental steel sculptures of British artist Tim Scott along with recent ceramic sculptures from his House of Clay series. The large-scale sculptures made of painted steel and acrylic sheeting were created in the late 1960s, a time when painters and sculptors alike celebrated color as form and subject. While studying to be an architect at the Architectural Association in London (1954-59), Scott was also enrolled in classes at the St. Martin’s School of Art, where he worked with the well-known sculptor Anthony Caro. He was also exposed to the work of David Smith and other prominent sculptors of the time whose creative processes involved construction and assemblage rather than traditional methods such as modeling or molding. Scott, along with Philip King, William Tucker and Isaac Witkin, became identified with a group of emerging sculptors in Britain known as the “New Generation.”
