We are delighted to present an exclusive online exhibition of  immediately available works by Australian-American sculptor Clement Meadmore (February 9, 1929 – April 19, 2005). Meadmore is recognized as one of the great modern sculptors of the Twentieth Century. His rigorous practice gave us impressive monumental abstractions to be admired in many public spaces, as well as diminutive gems that find their place on our shelves and tables. We are also  fortunate to have available mid-sized works for floor or pedestal placement in homes, offices, and gardens. 

Meadmore once said, “I am  interested in geometry as a grammar which, if understood, can be used  with great flexibility and expressiveness.” His starting point was geometry: a language or “grammar” that is both rigorously structured and conceptual in nature – a construct of the mind – and therefore intangible. But Meadmore went farther. He evolved a method that transformed geometry into something pliant and plastic. In his hands geometry acquired an expressive suppleness and materiality more typical of such conventional and palpable media as wood and clay. To borrow his own phrase, Meadmore in his work “transcended geometry,” thus placing the stamp of his individual vision on one of the primary modes of Twentieth Century art. 

Meadmore endowed a single form with clarity and rigor, while at the same time conveying the complexity, expressiveness, and dynamics of classic modernist sculpture. Meadmore's pursuit of a gestural or "drawn" character can be appreciated throughout the body of his work. 

Clement Meadmore is represented in collections at major museums in Australia, as well as at the Art Institute of Chicago, the Cleveland Museum of Art, the Detroit Institute of Arts, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Portland Art Museum, the  Butler Institute of American Art and others in the United States and Japan. Large-scale sculptures have been installed on college campuses throughout the country, including Princeton University, Columbia University, and the University of Michigan. One-person exhibitions have been held at the Contemporary Sculpture Center, Tokyo; Amarillo Art Center, Texas; Grand Rapids Art Museum, Michigan; Albuquerque Museum, New Mexico; Jacksonville Art Museum, Florida; and Columbus Museum of Art, Ohio.
