Guy Dill

Guy Dill is a sculptor who lives and works in Venice, California, where he first moved in the ‘70s—part of a young group of artists loosely referred to as the Venice Mafia, who were taking advantage of cheap real estate and beach lifestyles. Since early recognition by legendary dealer Irving Blum, Dill has been working with a diverse range of materials including, glass, aluminum, steel, wood and concrete, and the connective elements that hold his materials in states of tension: string, rope, and cable. His works address the fundamental issues of sculpture such as torque, tension, balance, and weight, as well as the more contemporary concerns of process and conceptual inquiry. 

His work is included in museums and galleries such as the MOMA, Leslie Sacks Contemporary, Bobbie Greenfield Gallery, The Whitney, Aurobora Press, the Guggenheim Museum, MOCA, Ace Gallery, LACMA, The Stedelijk and The Smithsonian. His work is represented in many public collections, including the Lancaster Museum of Art, the Long Beach Museum of Art, the DeYoung Museum, and the Museum of Outdoor Arts.
