| Mark Beard was born in 1956, in Salt Lake City, Utah. After that, the history of his intermediary years is rather hazy. However, the end result of his artistic explorations aren't hazy at all: They add up to one thing . . ..success. Combining a talent for stage design (at New York's Ridiculous Theater Company, which won him a much coveted Obie Award); with a talent for sculpture (which won him a 2002 commission for the massive, bronze "Safra Doors" at the newly executed Upper East Side Synagogue on East 64th Street); with an Old Masters mastery of drawing and painting - which has earned him a place in the collections of The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, The Whitney Museum of Art, The Guggenheim, The Museum of Modern of Art, The New York Public Library; The National Gallery in Washington; the Boston Museum of Fine Arts; The Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh; the collections of Yale, Harvard and Princeton Universities; the corporate collections of Chase Manhattan Bank (amongst others); and the exclusive collections of museums and galleries too extensive throughout the world to mention here. (For instance, Mark was commissioned to design and execute the foyer and theater of the Cologne State Theater, as well being commissioned to create and execute some of the murals within "das Schauspielhaus, Vienna". He is also one of the personal favorites of private collector Ralph Lauren - who has bought over fifty pieces of Mark's diverse output for the benefit of both himself and his company. |
