G. L. Sussman - Portraits
Steve Clark

Collection of the Artist
plaster
lifesize
1982

This portrait done from life came about from an unexpected visit from the sculptor and mold maker to Mr. Sussman at the Sculpture Center in NY. In his capacity as Director, Mr. Sussman was often called upon to substitute in any of the disciplines offered at the Sculpture School. It just so happened Mr. Sussman was "filling in" for a figure study in clay class, when the model didn't show and Mr. Clark walked into the studio. Mr. Clark graciously volunteered to sit, this portrait is a result.
