Description

Public artwork by Steven Siegel, Like a Buoy, like a Barrel (plastics, 2019, Providence, RI, USA.). The image illustrates a longstanding body of work in Steven Siegel's career from the 1990s and 2000s when he produced site-specific, outdoor sculptures and public art commissions made with repurposed postconsumer materials, such as aluminum and plastic containers, as in this work. These public works used materials returned to the recycling stream. They often took the form of large minimalist cubes or spheres in colorful and garish contrast to their landscaped and idyllic sites. Most of these works were commissioned by museums and arts institutions, as in this work, in Providence, RI. This project has been commissioned by and publicly exhibited in a prominent public institution and discussed in major art journals and daily press publications.

Purpose of use

The image serves an informational and educational purpose as the primary means of illustrating a longstanding body of work in Steven Siegel's career from the 1990s and 2000s: his site-specific, outdoor sculptures and public art commissions made from repurposed pre- and postconsumer materials, including aluminum and plastic containers, e-waste, and newspapers. Unlike his newspaper works, designed to disintegrate in situ, his non-degradable works used materials returned to the recycling stream. His public works using containers often took the form of large minimalist cubes or spheres in contrast to their landscaped and idyllic sites, with crushed materials bound by rubber hose and other material. Because the article is about an artist and his work, the omission of the image would significantly limit a reader's understanding and ability to visualize this key body of public art work, which brought early recognition through public commissions from major venues and institutions and coverage in major publications. Siegel's work of this type and this work in particular is discussed in the article and by prominent critics cited in the article.
