Paul Harris, Woman Bending Over, 1978, Bronze, partially painted, 41x29x16" In over 60 years of art making and exhibition, critics, historians and colleagues have been unable to place Harris into one category or medium. Harris embraced an inter-disciplinary artistic practice, effortlessly transitioning from one medium to the next, a model that has only of recent become more accepted into the contemporary art world. Harris was a Fulbright professor in Chile, a MacDowell Colony resident, a Guggenheim recipient and a visiting artist at the Rinehardt School of Sculpture, Baltimore. His work is in the public collections of University of California Berkeley Art Museum, The Los Angeles County Museum of Art, The Museum of Modern Art, New York, The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Yale University Art Gallery, New Haven, The Museum of the University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, Neue Galerie der Stadt Aachen, Aachen, Germany, and University of New Mexico. Harris has exhibited in major museums within in the US and internationally including Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C., Padiglion d’Arte Contemporanea, Milan, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, (with exhibition “Sculpture of the Sixties”, that also traveled to Philadelphia Museum of Art), Museum of Contemporary Crafts, New York, 1965 New York World’s Fair, Art Institute of Chicago, and Museum of Modern Art, New York #berkeleyartmuseum #sfmoma #lacma #moma #paulharrisart #edvarie
