The first comprehensive monograph on the master contemporary Korean
American sculptor, from his seminal wire sculptures to his
never-before-seen early works formed of steel. John Pai (b. 1937)
is a prolific multimedia artist whose handmade three-dimensional
sculptures are, paradoxically, still objects that seem to exist in
a state of movement and transformation. This full-career survey of
Pai s inventive work consists of his rarely seen early work up to
the present. Pai s incredibly intricate, three-dimensional abstract
'drawings in space' are made of endless lengths of individual steel
or copper rods and textured sheets made from hundreds of rods
welded together. Unlike many contemporary sculptors who draw a
sketch and let metalworkers do the actual construction, Pai
continues to do all his work himself?from choosing the materials to
the labor-intensive process of welding and bending the metals into
complex and sometimes massive forms. Immigrating from Korea to the
US at age 11, Pai showed his prodigious talent for art at a young
age. He received a scholarship to attend Pratt Institute, and in
the 1960s, Pai became the youngest professor appointed to the
faculty at Pratt. Leading its fine arts and sculpture programs for
nearly four decades, Pai proved a talented and beloved educator,
nurturing generations of sculptors and fostering the burgeoning
Korean artistic community in New York with those such as his
contemporary Nam June Paik, reflecting a sensibility outside the
mainstream of American art.
