George Segal @ the Knox |
We caught these visitors to the Albright-Knox contemplating a George Segal sculpture. The artist, who pioneered the use of plaster bandages as a medium, grew up in the Bronx, son of Jewish immigrants. From a family butcher shop to a poultry farm in New Jersey to Cooper Union, Segal's journey to central artist in the Pop Art movement is a very interesting American tale, worthy of a film itself.
