This well-listed Modernist and foundational member of the kinetic art movement was born in Philadelphia and first studied at the University of Colorado, receiving his MA in 1951. He received his Bachelor of Architecture Degree from the University of Florida in 1955, and, in 1956, attended the School of Fine Arts in Rio de Janeiro where he studied with Roberto Burle Marx. In 1957, Mallory moved to Paris where he attended the Academy Julian.
Over the course of a long career, Mallory exhibited internationally with success including at New York's Museum of Modern Art and Whitney Museum as well as in Paris, Milan, London and Rio de Janeiro. His work is held in the permanent collections of prominent museums world-wide, including those of New York's Museum of Modern Art and Whitney Museum; the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Smithsonian Institute (Cooper Hewitt Museum, New York, NY), the Israel Museum, Israel; the Los Angeles County Museum of Modern Art; the Albright Knox Museum; the Santa Barbara Museum of Art; the Oakland Museum of Modern Art; Fogg Art Museum, Harvard, MA and the La Jolla Museum of Modern Art among many others
In addition to maintaining a full-time career as a professional artist, Mallory held a number of academic and consultative positions including: Visiting Artist at the University of California at Berkeley in 1972; Art Consultant and urban planner for Bunker Hill Redevelopment in Los Angeles from 1973 -1974; and from 1944 -1998; participating artist and curator for C Project, a holographic project that included Roy Lichtenstein, Chuck Close, Ed Ruscha and James Turrell. In 1999, Ronald Mallory was awarded the Pollack-Krasner Grant and a grant from the New York Council for the Arts.
We are pleased to offer this exceptional middle-period work painted when the artist was forty-three.
