JOEL PERLMAN

Industrial, abstract sculpture in metal


 

BIOGRAPHY & RESUME

Joel Perlman was born in New York City in 1943. He lives and works in Watermill, New York.

Joel Perlman has been creating complex sculptures out of steel, bronze, and aluminum since the early 1970's. While minimalism was the predominant style of his generation, Perlman chose to push his forms into ever-more complicated, gravity defying, configurations. Perlman investigates with originality. He expands, rather than appropriates, enriching our experience with industrial materials.
