Episode #044: Assistant Rob van Erve during the making of Judy Pfaff’s installation Buckets of Rain (2006) in the artist's studio in Tivoli, New York.Balancing intense planning with improvisational decision-making, Judy Pfaff creates exuberant, sprawling sculptures and installations that weave landscape, architecture, and synthetic color into a tense yet organic whole. A pioneer of installation art in the 1970s, Pfaff synthesizes sculpture, painting, and architecture into dynamic environments in which space seems to expand and collapse, fluctuating between two and three dimensions.SEE: More images, videos, and news for Judy Pfaff.LEARN: Judy Pfaff is featured in the Season 4 (2007) episode Romance of the Art:21—Art in the Twenty-First Century television series on PBS.Learn more about Judy Pfaff at: http://www.art21.org/artists/judy-pfaffVIDEO | Producer: Susan Sollins & Nick Ravich.
