Often beginning with milled cedar, not unlike a “blank canvas,” she dips into an arena of the psychological and emotional. von Rydingsvard explains this approach: "If I were to say how it is that I break the convention of sculpture (and I'm not sure that's what I do or even if that's what I want to do), it would be by climbing into the work in a way that’s highly personal, that I can claim as being mine. The more mine it is, the more I’m able to break the convention."[1] Through close observation and with poetic urgency, she creates abstract forms that invoke the body, landscape, language, vernacular architecture, spoons, shovels, and other common artifacts. Her sculpture has features of the hands and mind of a seasoned builder, as well as a sophisticated artist. The work emerges from contradictory processes of labor – destructive and constructive, fractured and mended, decomposed and recomposed. von Rydingsvard’s work is a space where compelling contemporary ideas and searing memories coexist. She cuts away at the surfaces of cedar beams unleashing and discovering a deep, natural character. These nearly broken elements are arranged and bonded together in evocative forms. The processes of doing, undoing, and redoing over extended periods of time reenacts the slow, often painful emergence of palpable ideas through memory and speculation.At once familiar and enigmatic, her energetic and restive forms have established a particular and defining presence in the contemporary art world. Her studio is in Brooklyn, New York and she lives in New York City. Early life and educationBorn in Deensen, Germany in 1942 to a Polish mother and Ukrainian father, as a young child the artist and her six siblings experienced the German occupation of Poland and the trauma of World War II, followed by five years in eight different German refugee camps for displaced Poles.[2] In 1959, through the U.S. Marshall Plan and with the assistance of Catholic agencies, her family of peasant farmers boarded a ship to the United States where they eventually settled in Plainville, Connecticut. She received a BA and MA from University of Miami, Coral Gables, Florida in 1965 and an MFA from Columbia University in New York City in 1975.[3] AchievementsMajor permanent commissions of her work are on view at the Microsoft Corporation, Redmond, WA; Storm King Art Center, New York; the Bloomberg Building, New York; the Queens Family Courthouse, New York; the Nelson-Atkins, Kansas City, and the Barclays Center, Brooklyn, New York. Mad. Sq. Art: Ursula von Rydingsvard was the outdoor solo exhibition presented at Madison Square Park in 2006. In 2008, she was inducted into the American Academy of Arts and Letters along with being featured in Art:21 Art in the Twenty-First Century on PBS. A monograph on her work titled The Sculpture of Ursula von Rydingsvard was published by Hudson Hills Press in 1996 and in 2011 Prestel published Ursula von Rydingsvard: Working. In 2014-2015 Ursula von Rydingsvard had her first British show at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park (West Yorkshire, UK), her most extensive exhibition to date. The exhibition was accompanied by the Ursula von Rydingsvard 2014 Catalogue, a major publication featuring text by Molly Donovan, Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art at the National Gallery of Art in Washington.
