Author

Lambert, Coral

Coral Penelope Lambert is internationally recognized for large scale cast metal sculpture. Born and raised in the UK she studied sculpture in the 1980's with Sir Anthony Caro and other leading figures in the field. Over the past 25 or so years she has utilized the foundry as her laboratory to explore the process of ‘Speeding up the work of Nature’. Her work responds to metals rich history in myth and mining, playing with its weight, permanence and flux as well as its political reference to the earths resources. She is Professor of Sculpture at Alfred University in Upstate New York where she directs the National Casting Centre Foundry. Her work can be seen in many prestigious exhibitions and collections around the world.

Marsha Pels

Marsha Pels is a renowned American sculptor known for her thought-provoking and emotionally charged works that explore themes of identity, trauma, politics, and personal experience. Born in 1952, Pels has spent over four decades honing her craft, earning numerous awards, and exhibiting her work globally.

Pels earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in painting from the Rhode Island School of Design (1972) and a Master of Fine Arts in sculpture from Syracuse University (1974). Her early work was characterized by lyrical forms and formal concerns, but she soon turned to more narrative and conceptual approaches.

Pels has received numerous awards, including:

Prix de Rome for Sculpture (1984-85)

Fulbright Senior Scholar award to Germany (1997)

Pollock-Krasner Foundation grant (2004)

Adolf and Esther Gottlieb Foundation Individual Support Grant (2013)

Her work has been exhibited at institutions such as the American Academy in Rome, the Brooklyn Museum, and the Frieze New York art fair. Lubov Gallery in New York has showcased her solo exhibitions, including “Solace” (2020) and “Frame” (2022), which featured a “mini-retrospective” of her career.
