Alan Sonfist’ Surface Memory at Fredric Snitzer Gallery

Through Jan 30, 2017

Surface Memory is a solo exhibition of vintage works from the late 1960s and early 1970s by Alan Sonfist. On the forefront of the earth and land art movements these works exemplify a lost period in time and have never been shown commercially. Utilizing works on canvas and ceramic castings, Alan Sonfist creates a landmark in time. His early work in the 1960’s and seventies helped pioneer the burgeoning movement of site-specific sculpture.

In contrast to his contemporaries, Sonfist pledged not to destroy the natural environment but to link city-dwellers and suburbanites to a nature that civilization destroyed. Early in his artistic career, Alan Sonfist received critical acclaim for his innovative use of urban spaces to design havens of nature and green art, a theme he has continued throughout his accomplished career.
