The Diamonstein-Spielvogel Lecture Series provides a forum for distinguished artists to discuss the genesis and evolution of their work in their own words. Dr. Barbaralee Diamonstein–Spielvogel and the Honorable Carl Spielvogel generously endowed this series in 1997 to make such conversations available to the public.
Joel Shapiro, artist
Joel Shapiro will present a lecture on his nearly 50-year career as part of the Diamonstein-Spielvogel Lecture Series at the National Gallery of Art. Shapiro has become one of the most widely exhibited American sculptors. His work, from early minimal objects to increasingly expansive and complex forms, has always dealt with such central issues of the sculptural tradition as size and scale, balance and imbalance, figuration and abstraction. He believes that all sculpture is a projection of thought into the world, and he strives to create intimacy and vitality in all his projects.
Born in 1941 in New York City, Shapiro received BA and MA degrees from New York University. Since his first exhibition in 1970, his work has been the subject of many solo exhibitions and retrospectives, and can now be found in numerous public collections in the United States and abroad. Prominent commissions include the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, DC, and the Consulate General of the United States in Guangzhou, China, for the Foundation for Art and Preservation in Embassies. Among other distinctions, Shapiro was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Letters in 1998 and the French Ministry of Culture awarded him the medal of Chevalier dans l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres in 2005. He lives and works in New York City. The Gallery owns 16 works by the artist, including drawings, prints, and sculptures.
Notable Lectures give access to special Gallery talks by well-known curators, historians, and authors.
