	M A X P E L Z M A N N Windwave I first became aware of Max Pelzmann’s talents over thirty years ago. He was a pupil in the Milmo School and Friday afternoon was given over to the art class. Max’s ability to model in clay stood out from the rest. Many years later I discovered that there was a little more to his flair than the genius of the art teacher. Sculpting was in his blood. From his mother, Lola San Sebastian-Grande, whose eclectic family included writers, a test pilot and a medical professor, Max inherited the ancient handcraft traditions of the Basques and, from his father, Franz, some of the exacting engineering skills one finds in Vienna. From his earliest days, Max was surrounded by the sculptures of Friedrich Herkner who had come to Ireland from Vienna in 1938 to take up the position of Professor of painting at the National College of Art in Dublin. He became a lifelong friend of Franz, which led to Max’s early introduction to the arts. He often found himself climbing over casts and mouldings in Dublin’s foundries while most other children were out playing in the park. Add to this, frequent visits to Europe's capitals of culture and the seeds were sown. Windwave: nightlife adventures Max continued his schooling in Aravon, Bray before moving to Vienna. On arrival with his family in America, he continued his formal education at the Walnut Hill School for the Arts; the Pratt Institute and the New School, both New York City Universities. During his university days, Max gained a rare position as an intern at the Polich Tallix Fine Art Foundry. Since leaving formal study behind, he has worked from his New York studio and came to the attention of the public last year with his extremely popular Windwave, which was the prime exhibit at the annual Brooklyn Bridge Park exhibition. This fine work was widely acclaimed in the New York press and brought Manhattan traffic to a standstill as it was trailed through the City to the Park. We Be Max’s latest sculpture, We Be is causing just as much excitement at this year’s 28th Brooklyn Waterfront Artist Coalition on Governor's Island, which runs until the 10th of October. In contrast to the stark white of last year, this bright orange and red sculpture, bold in its appearance, gives the feeling of a free flowing shape, which compels the viewer to interact. Max’s aim is to encourage physical interaction with the sculpture as one of the ways to understand the structural dimension of a work's form. His aim is to create a sculptural amplifier and receiver, which is a physical and emotional conduit, imbuing viewers to interact with the sculpture and with each other simultaneously. Windwave against the Manhattan skyline Although this sculpture has sufficient stature to compete against the Manhattan skyline or the Brooklyn Bridge, works on this scale can look just as dramatic in front of an office building or in a garden setting. There is no limit to the material in which these sculptures can be worked; bronze, polished steel, concrete, plastic, glass, the choice is yours. We would be delighted to discuss the technicalities of any material you might have in mind. We are delighted to promote Max Pelzmann as our Gallery Sculptor.
