Lot Essay

For another example of this work see: Clement Meadmore, New York, 1970, exh. cat., illus. on front cover

Clement Meadmore moved to New York in 1963. Living in the American cradle of Modernism and Abstract Expressionism imbued Meadmore's work from this time onwards with a rigour and eloquence that was reinforced by his fascination with geometry. He was able to translate geometrical principles with great expressiveness and flexibility thanks to the use of cor-ten steel, which is reminiscent in shape of a steel beam, and has a natural, rusted patina. In Cotter, one arm of a rectangular arc launches upwards, an exhilarating movement that is reinforced by the monumentality of the medium and the scale of the work.
