CONTEMPORARY REGIONAL ART
We Are Losing Our Ozone Larry Kagan Steel, 1989 AIHA Collection: Gift of Mrs. Georgina H. Williams
Larry Kagan makes his sculptures from found objects usually collected at local scrap yards. Each of the elements had a purpose or history before they reached the crap metal yard, but Kagan's use of this material forces the viewer to re-examine the objects in their new context. His sculptures, which often appear to be drawings in steel, are elegant and insightful, containing social commentary.
Born in Germany, Larry Kagan received a B.A. from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in 1968 and an M.A. in Studio Arts from the State University of New York at Albany in 1970. He is currently chairman of the Art Department of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, New York. Kagan has exhibited throughout the U.S. and Europe, and his works are included in the collections of the U.S. Embassy in St. Petersburg, Russia, the State University of New York at Albany, the Schenectady Museum and Planetarium and the Jewish Museum in New York City.
