A Note from the Photographer by David Finn. Introduction by Douglas Lewis [curator of sculpture, National Gallery of Art]. John Safer: The Sculptor in Context by Walter J. Boyne [An Analogy, Trophies; Facets and Flames; A Smile from Kelly Johnson; Limits of Infinity; Of Time and Space; A Final Thought, and Biographical Note. Exhibitions History. Index. John H. Safer (September 6, 1922 December 7, 2018) was an American sculptor. Safer's varied career spanned work in theater lighting, television, real estate, politics and banking. Safer was best known for his monumental sculptures. These include award sculptures for the National Air and Space Museum, the PGA Tour, the Lombardi Cancer Center, and the Shakespeare Guild. Safer's works stand in museums, galleries and embassies throughout the world. In 1972 and in 1989 the U.S. Department of State sent a group of Safer sculptures abroad to be exhibited as examples of America's finest art. Walter J. Boyne (February 2, 1929 January 9, 2020) was a United States Air Force officer, Command Pilot, combat veteran, aviation historian, and author of more than 50 books and over 1,000 magazine articles. He was a director of the National Air and Space Museum of the Smithsonian Institution and a Chairman of the National Aeronautic Association. This book "Showcases the work of American sculptor John Safer, whose pieces reflect his love of aviation and space technology, following his stylistic evolution from constructivist compositions to biomorphic abstractions and his current monumental works." - Publisher Environmental sculpture is sculpture that creates or alters the environment for the viewer, as opposed to presenting itself figurally or monumentally before the viewer. A frequent trait of larger environmental sculptures is that one can actually enter or pass through the sculpture and be partially or completely surrounded by it. Also, in the same spirit, it may be designed to generate shadows or reflections, or to color the light in the surrounding area. Julia M. Bush emphasizes the nonfigurative aspect of such works: "Environmental sculpture is never made to work at exactly human scale, but is sufficiently larger or smaller than scale to avoid confusion with the human image in the eyes of the viewer." Ukrainian-born American sculptor Louise Nevelson is a pioneer of environmental sculpture in this sense. Busch (p. 27) also places the sculptures of Jane Frank, as well as some works by Tony Smith and David Smith, in this category. Some environmental sculpture so encompasses the observer that it verges on architecture. John Safer, George Segal, Duane Hanson, Edward Kienholz, Robert Smithson, Christo, and Michael Heizer are well known practitioners of the genre, although Segal and Hanson's work is figural. Many figurative works of George Segal, for example, do qualify as environmental, in thatinstead of being displayed on a pedestal as presentations to be gazed uponthey occupy and perturb the setting in which they are placed. A well known instance of this is the pair of Segal figures that sit on and stand next to one of the public benches in New York City's Sheridan Square; anyone can sit amongst them.
