Bill Barrett (artist)

He is considered a central figure in the second generation of American metal sculptors and is internationally known for his abstract sculptures in steel, aluminum and bronze. Steel Barrett began welding while a student at the University of Michigan. His early works consisted of steel rods, joined to create open, three-dimensional drawings.
