The local PBS station recently broadcast a documentary of Albert Paley’s thirteen sculpture installations on Manhattan’s Park Avenue medium. We stumbled across a couple of the sculptures as we cut across town, gallery hopping this summer. All thirteen of them were created specifically for the show and most sold. Paley taught with my brother, John, at Rochester Institute of Technology but now spends his days in his 40,000 square foot studio workplace in the former Valeo plant on Lyell Avenue.
Locally Paley is represented by the Nan Miller Gallery and Sunday’s paper featured an article about his show there. My brother is coincidentally showing some work there along side of Paley and I’m hoping crowds that Paley attracts are drawn to my brother’s exquisite work. This bench is similar to the two that the city bought for the sidewalk in front of City Newspaper and it would work inside or out.
