Gene Schmidt

Gene Schmidt’s sculptures continue the theme of measurement that he has been exploring for several years. These are measured objects, not in an assigned numerical value, but in terms of an acknowledged or defined finiteness. These objects are only so big: they have limits, and Schmidt uses measuring tools to suggest thoughts about things such as time, mortality, truth and knowing. The artist received his BS from Grace University in Omaha and an MFA from the School of Visual Arts in New York, NY. He has exhibited widely, with Sotheby’s in Chicago, Tel Aviv and Vienna all having auctioned his work.
