David Hayes was one of the most influential American artists of the 20th century. His sculptures are known for their grace and beauty, and his ability to abstract organic forms.
Over the course of his six-decade career, Hayes created many monumental outdoor sculptures that contemplate the relationships between a work of art and its environment. He was deeply influenced by his teacher, David Smith, and his friend, Alexander Calder.
Hayes's sculptures are in museums and private collections all over the world, and his legacy continues to inspire new generations of artists.
