Internationally renowned sculptor Mark di Suvero was born in Shanghai,
China, in 1933.
He immigrated to the United States in 1941 and received a BA in Philosophy from the University of California, Berkley.
Di Suvero began showing his sculpture in the late 1950's and is one of the most important American artists to emerge from the Abstract Expressionist era.
His sculptures have been exhibited in city-wide exhibitions in Paris, France; Venice, Italy; New York City; Stuttgart, Germany; Nice; and Valence, France.
Di Suvero received the Lifetime Achievement Award in Contemporary Sculpture from the International Sculpture Center in 2000 and the Heinz Award for Arts and Humanities in 2005.
