Gonzalo Fonseca (Uruguayan, 1922-1997)

Trained as a painter, Fonseca was among a group of artists who emerged from the theory-rich studio of Uruguayan modernist Joaquín Torres-García in the 1940s. He became a sculptor in the mid-1960s, when the language of architectural forms he had invented in two dimensions seems finally to have demanded development in three. Working first wood and in found limestone and brownstone in New York City, and later, in Italy, he produced sculptures and wall reliefs in marble and travertine.  Fonseca made a number of large-scale public works, including a playground, underpass, and monument in Reston, Virginia; an experimental play structure for a park in the Bronx, New York; and a monumental concrete tower for the 1968 Mexico City Olympics. Fonseca divided the remainder of his life between a fifth floor studio on Great Jones Street in Manhattan and a hilltop studio in Italy among the quarries and stone-working communities around Monte Altissimo, Carrara. 

Fonseca carved his stones himself, without the aid of assistants.
