Born in 1930 in Erie, PA, Anuszkiewicz was a student under
Josef Albers at the Yale School of Fine Art before embarking
on his own career in the early 1950's in New York City. Since the
1950’s his painting and sculpture has not only evolved in many ways utilizing
the “Op Art” theory he developed, but has resulted in scores of solo exhibitions at
museums and galleries for five decades.
His most recent efforts have involved “Linear Sculpture” in which thin laser-cut
steel utilizes line in space to form 3-D images. These works have been a major part
of his creativeness since 1997 and were first exhibited in a five museum solo
retrospective in Germany and Switzerland in 1998 organized by the Albers Museum in
Germany. The formal introduction of these works came at the Harmon-Meek Gallery in
January, 2000 when the gallery chose Anuszkiewicz as its “millennium” artist. An exhibition
devoted to his sculpture was featured in the spring of 2002 at the gallery as well.
Beyond the linear sculpture, the gallery has in stock acrylic
paintings dating from the 1960’s in sizes ranging from 12” x 18” to 60” x 60”.
Selected Museum Collections include: The Met, NYC; MOMA, NYC
