George Sugarman


George Sugarman, a founding member of the Brata Gallery and the New Sculpture Group, aligned himself with like-minded sculptors who wanted to remove the element of verticality in sculpture and replace it with art that was not confined to boundaries and engaged with, as well energized, its surroundings. Trio represents Sugarman’s “seed form” concept: the idea that sculpture begins with a single shape which evolves and changes throughout the work.
