Sentinel

Albert Paley's massive sculpture Sentinel (it is the largest sculpture on any American university campus) at the Rochester Institute of Technology was lit with the evening light. I was there for a fun evening of expert juggling,

To See as Others See

Perks of having a friend visit is seeing your town through new eyes. This Albert Paley statue at the Memorial Art Gallery was one on our tour of public installations. Jane Sassaman did not let rain stand in her view.

Checking Out Paley

The Rochester Institute of Technology's Faculty Show this year has this work by Albert Paley. His large scale works are everywhere, it seems, from here to Ames, Iowa. So, this small work was a treat for its complexity and monumentality in a small scale.

Paley at the MAG

One of the newest installations in the sculpture garden at the Memorial Art Gallery is Albert Paley's work "Soliloquy" which is a 25' tall structure of stainless steel. You can see more of it and a video of him working on it here http://mag.rochester.edu/centennial-sculpture-park/about-artists/albert-paley/

Albert Paley's steel sculpture is shown twice -- in a maquette that is about 24" high, and outside, which is perhaps 3 stories high. Got to talk with him tonight at his wife's, Francis', opening of photographs at the Geisel Gallery at Bausch and Lomb. Enough name dropping!

Paley on the Hillside

Albert Paley seen in Iowa State University

This gateway on the Morrill Building at ISU made by Rochester's Albert Paley. I can't believe that I once pointed out to Albert Paley (one of America's greatest sculptors) that my name (Pauly) and his (Paley) were soooo close. I must have been about 29. What a nerd. I hope he forgot immediately.
