Ernest Trova, 1927-2009 St. Louis Art Museum ( built for the 1904 Worlds Fair)

Study: Falling Man (Walking Man) 1964- cast 1965 Chrome-plated bronze and painted metal
"A mechanical device is grafted onto the chest of an arm-less figure covered in a surface of smooth, reflective chrome-- a hybrid combination of human and of machine." (description)

I have a second "Chrome Man" foto by Trova way back in my Flickr stream. It was erected outside in a park in St. Louis. That foto was at dusk with a storm closing in on me that evening. If you like this one you may like my first "Chrome Man" shot. See March 21st, 2014 or Albums: Museums at the bottom.

George Segal 1924-2000: Richard Bellamy Seated, 1964 (plaster and metal) Displayed at the St. Louis Art Museum

"George Segal here depicts his friend and New York art dealer Richard Bellamy in a casual pose. With shoulders slightly slumped, arms and legs crossed. Bellamy's body rests nonchalantly on a metal folding chair. This sculpture was created using Segal's characteristic method of applying cotton bandages dipped in plaster onto the faces and bodies of his chosen models- usually family, friends and neighbors. As the director of the short-lived but influential Green Gallery in New York, Bellamy showcased Segal and a number of the Pop artists featured in this gallery."
