  Clement Meadmore; sculptor of massive steel-beam artworks | The San Diego Union-Tribune
Clement Meadmore, a sculptor who wrestled hulking lengths of steel into abstract artworks of arresting fluidity and lightness, died Tuesday in New York.
Clement Lyon Meadmore was born in Melbourne on Feb. 9, 1929.
Meadmore might labor over a sculpture for as long as a year, changing the angle of a bend ever so slightly, turning the model over and over in his hands until he was satisfied its proportions were exactly right.

Clement Meadmore, who died in April 2005, was best known for the massive public sculptures he created for over three decades which, in spite of their sheer mass, maintain a bold dynamic quality and a human warmth that belie their heft and geometry-based origins.
Meadmore’s contribution to contemporary abstract sculpture (he introduced Cor-Ten steel to sculpture for instance) and his dedication to providing oases of humanity in the urban environment were deservedly well recognized.

 New York City Art Gallery, clement meadmore,Peter Rose Gallery,
Meadmore moved to New York in 1963 at the age of 34 and later became a United States citizen.
In his sculpture, Meadmore endows a single form with clarity and rigor, while at the same time conveys the complexity, expressiveness and dynamics of classic modernist sculpture which underlies Meadmore's pursuit of a gestural or "drawn" character for his sculpture.
Since Meadmore's sculptures are often large, this impression of effortless physical grace is simultaneously underscored and called into question through the fluid signature like immediacy of their physicality.

 TIME.com: Solid Man -- Apr. 5, 1971 -- Page 1
Meadmore, 42, was born in Australia, but plagued by isolation, moved to New York in 1963.
Meadmore's sculptures do not respond to light, but absorb it with a dense matter-of-factness, declaring their absolute distance from the world of nature.
Because Meadmore avoids focusing attention on the specific substance of his monoliths (the last question the viewer asks, upon looking at them, is what they are made of), he has managed to free them from the feeling that normally accompanies a sense of great mass —heaviness.
