About the Item

Mark di Suvero Study for Motu Viget, ca. 1977 Ink wash on notebook paper. Hand signed in black marker 14 × 11 1/4 inches Boldly signed in black marker on the lower front Unframed Unique ink wash drawing on perforated notebook paper based upon one of Mark di Suvero's most famous public sculptures - Motu Viget ("strength in activity") in Grand Rapids Michigan, which is the city's motto. A must have for fans and collectors of di Suvero. Mark di Suvero Biography Born in China to Italian parents, Mark di Suvero (b. 1933, Shanghai) immigrated to the U.S. as a child aged eight. An internationally renowned artist and pioneer in the use of steel, di Suvero has created vibrant and dynamic works of sculpture and painting throughout his sixty-year career, fusing vitality and movement with complex construction. His work has been shown consistently in galleries and museums worldwide including exhibitions of outdoor sculpture in the Netherlands, Germany, France, Italy, Spain and a number of cities in the United States. In 2023, the Nasher Sculpture Center in Dallas opened a major exhibition of di Suvero’s work. Public citywide shows have taken place in Paris, France; Venice, Italy; and New York City. Permanent installations of di Suvero’s sculpture are in Baltimore, Dallas, Grand Rapids, Houston, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, St. Louis, San Francisco, South Bend, and Toledo. In New York, di Suvero’s work is in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Storm King Art Center (Mountainville, NY). Di Suvero founded Socrates Sculpture Park in Queens, New York, in 1985. It became a public city park in 1998.
