  • Jonathan Borofsky (American, B. 1942) Walking Man (On the Edge), 1995 Fiberglass and Steel Collection Nerman Museum of Contempor
    Jonathan Borofsky (American, b. 1942) Walking Man (On the Edge), 1995 Fiberglass and steel Collection Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art, 1995.14 Gift of Marti and Tony Oppenheimer and the Oppenheimer Brothers Foundation After completing his MFA at Yale, the Boston-born Jonathan Borofsky moved to New York City, where he pursued an intensely private form of conceptual art that consisted of counting and recording numbers sequentially onto 8 ½ x 11” sheets of paper. Desiring to connect with a wider public, he began in the 1970s to make drawings, paintings, prints, sculptures and installations featuring recognizable figures. Recurrent images such as the Hammering Man, Running Man, and Man with a Briefcase function, for Borofsky, both as self-portraits and symbols of common aspects of the human condition. Appropriately placed atop the JCCC Commons building, Walking Man (On the Edge) exemplifies Borofsky’s use of generic figures to communicate shared human experience. The college campus attracts many different people, but most are students, striving for knowledge. Borofsky had this in mind when he set the man on the roof’s edge, remarking, “The edge . seems to refer to pushing the limits of knowledge. [It] implies that we are reaching for something or looking for answers.” Striding forward with energetic purpose, oblivious to his precarious position, Borofsky’s Everyman simultaneously embodies and brings together the diverse student population, in a surprising, delightful, and inspiring fashion. Jonathan Borofsky received his BFA from Carnegie Mellon University in 1964 and his MFA from Yale University in 1966. Magdalena Abakanowicz (Polish, b. 1930 – d. 2017) Two Figures on a Beam, 1997 Bronze Collection Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art,1996.01 Gift of the Marti and Tony Oppenheimer and the Jules and Doris Stein Foundation in honor of Floriene and George Lieberman's 50th Anniversary Beginning in the 1970s, Magdalena Abakanowicz created figurative works by molding burlap over plaster casts of nude bodies and stiffening the fabric with glue and resin.

  • Contempoary Art Collection
    CONTEMPOARY ART COLLECTION Jonathan Borofsky Hammering Man at 2,938,405 1984 Corten steel 288 × 132 × 24 in. (731.5 × 335.3 × 61 cm) Gift of the Martin Z. Margulies Foundation 2005.16.1 Jonathan Borofsky is a multifaceted artist who has worked in several media including painting, sculpture, prints, complex installations, video, and light. He received a BFA from Carnegie Mellon University and an MFA from Yale University. He moved to New York City in 1966 and began to record his thoughts, observations, and compulsive counting. In the 1990s Borofsky turned his attention to large-scale public sculpture. His signature work in this arena is Hammering Man. The Harn’s sculpture is one of several versions of Hammering Man in cities around the world including Basel, Frankfurt, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, Seattle, Seoul, and Washington, D.C. The broad dispersal of the work demonstrates its wide appeal and universal relevance. Hammering Man at 2,938,405 stands 24 feet high and is cut from Corten steel. The dynamic silhouetted figure holds a hammer, which he raises and lowers in the repetitive gesture of an industrial laborer. He pays tribute to the universal worker, the underpaid worker, the worker who still uses his hands in a mechanized world. Borofsky’s work is often inspired by the world of memories, dreams, and free association. He draws on these levels of awareness to explore the meaning of daily existence rather than the depths of the subconscious. Mathematics and counting also act as a meditative component of the artist’s work and play a part in identifying the piece.

  • Schenley Plaza and Schenley Park and the Built Environment That Surrounds Both of These Historic Pittsburgh Spaces
    FRICK FINE ARTS LIBRARY SCHENLEY PLAZA, SCHENLEY PARK & ENVIRONS Library Guide Series, No. 11 “Qui scit ubi scientis sit, ille est proximus habenti.” -- Brunetiere* Introduction Pittsburgh’s Oakland neighborhood was originally designed to be the city’s cultural showcase during the end of the nineteenth and early years of the twentieth centuries. It was the time when model suburbs and the “City Beautiful” movement flowered in urban areas of the country. In Pittsburgh the effort to build a park system in Pittsburgh was inspired by parks and urban development in American and European cities. The park movement in this country was launched in the 1850s with the creation of New York’s Central Park designed by Frederick Law Olmstead. Such beautification projects grew from the beliefs of Progressive era reformers responding to rapid growth, over crowding and burgeoning social inequalities in the nation’s cities. Leaders believed that healthful relaxation and pure park air, in contrast, to the hectic and polluted mechanized world of the city, would benefit city dwellers by offering rest for the tired body and weary soul. In addition, reformers believed that parks could improve nature with landscape design, statuary and recreational facilities that would elevate citizens’ attitudes and behavior and inspire civic pride. It was in such an intellectual milieu that Pittsburgh’s park system began as a part of the new Civic Center beginning to rise in Oakland near the end of the nineteenth century. That center would eventually include Carnegie Institute (1895) and Hotel Schenley (1898), as well as other monumental buildings (some of which can not be viewed from Schenley Plaza) such as Soldiers and Sailors Memorial, Pittsburgh Athletic Club and Masonic Temple in addition to University of Pittsburgh buildings like the Cathedral of Learning (1937), Stephen Foster Memorial Building (1937) and Heinz Chapel (1938).

  • Jonathan Borofsky, Titled My Mother’S Words and God Is a Feeling
    GEMINI G.E.L. AT JONI MOISANT WEYL Johnathan Borofsky Johnathan Borofsky My Mother's Words , 2010 God is a Feeling , 2010 2-color screenprint 2-color lithograph 34 1/2 x 55" (87.6 x 139.7 cm) 38 x 49" (96.5 x 124.5 cm) Edition of 45 Edition of 25 JB08-5318 JB08-1583 980 MADISON AVENUE – 5TH FLOOR NEW YORK, NEW YORK 10075-1848 212.249.3324 FAX 212.249.3354 [email protected] WWW.JONIWEYL.COM GEMINI G.E.L. AT JONI MOISANT WEYL In 2010, Gemini G.E.L. published two prints by Jonathan Borofsky, titled My Mother’s Words and God is a Feeling . Well-known to be the subject of his own works, Borofsky injects himself into these two through the selection of phrases that are very personal to the artist and by rendering the words in his own handwriting. For My Mother's Words , Borofsky, ever- interested in understanding his own pain and happiness, explains, "Several days before my mother died, I was sitting at her bedside - just talking about things. At one point, I casually asked her if she had any words she wanted to leave behind. Without taking any time to think about it, she answered 'Be Happy, Do the Best You Can, Be Good and Kind'." An edition of 45, this two-color screenprint has a softer quality than his earlier editioned works that utilize the same minimal, strictly text-based imagery such as Object of Magic (1989) and 31247** (1991). In the case of My Mother's Words , the cursive handwriting creates an intimacy with the artist, whereas the earlier works were executed in a blunt, sans-serif type that maintains an impersonal quality.

  • HUMAN STRUCTURES VANCOUVER Jonathan Borofsky (Maine, USA)
    HUMAN STRUCTURES VANCOUVER Jonathan Borofsky (Maine, USA) “In all of my work, I seek to convey the feeling that everything is connected." – Jonathan Borofsky WHO MADE THIS ART INSTALLATION? For American artist Jonathan Borofsky, his role as an artist is to explore questions about human life, the collective consciousness of humanity, and remind us of our connections to one another as we build our world together. Born in Boston, Massachusetts, he has been studying art from professional instructors since the age of 9, first in the medium of oil painting in his youth. In 1964 he received his BFA from Carnegie-Mellon University in Pittsburgh, with a specialty in painting and sculpture. Two years later he completed his MFA in sculpture from Yale School of Art and Architecture in New Haven, Connecticut. His large-scale work was interactive, multi-media installations and he often incorporated spiritual themes and ideas around the human psyche during a time when Pop Art and Minimalism had been dominant movements in the Western Art world in those years. His works drew from dreams, self-portraits, media and technology. Some were interactive with the audience, others used video and light projections, and he referenced historical figures like Dali, Picasso and Elisabeth Taylor. Through the 1970s and 80s, Borofsky became a key artist in the growing ‘installation art’ movement. Installation art is many objects that connect together in a room, space or environment, rather than a single object or sculpture. His works were layered and inventive, and he viewed all art in those years as a kind of self portrait.

  • Biography , Independent Curators Incorporated, New York, NY
    GEMINI G.E.L. A T JONI MOISANT WEYL JONATHAN BOROFSKY Jonathan Borofsky was born in 1942 in Boston, Massachusetts, to a family immersed in the arts: his father was a musician and his mother an artist-architect. He received a Bachelor of the Arts degree from the Carnegie Institute of Technology in 1964 before getting a Master of Fine Arts from Yale University in 1966 and subsequently moving to New York City. Borofsky’s art has always been both autobiographical and universal, fusing personal and political subjects in a thought-provoking manner. His aim is to depict subject matter of worldwide consequence and he has thus developed a pattern of recurring themes that are often highlighted by archetypes and archetypal situations. At the heart of Borofsky’s art is the activity of drawing. For him, drawing is a demonstration of his thoughts, and that process itself is an object. Borofsky is prone to contemplating new manifestations of an initial impulse, and many versions or transformations can result. Known for his autobiographical subject matter, the artist often places himself into his work through images of himself, or the selection of phrases that are very personal to him, most often rendering the words in his own handwriting. In his work, Borofsky explores the philosophical and psychological values inherent in the human spirit; themes of spiritual well-being, wholeness, and contemplation of the nature of the universe have always played a central role. Borofsky’s first solo exhibition was at the Paula Cooper Gallery in 1975. The Philadelphia Museum of Art and Whitney Museum of American Art organized an important traveling retrospective of Borofsky’s work in 1984.
