Jud Bergeron
   Inquire about this work.

A long-time eminence grise in the San Francisco art scene, Jud Bergeron is a sculptor working in cast bronze and other metals, in addition to wood. He has mounted solo shows at Aidan Savoy Gallery in New York, Earl McGrath Gallery in Los Angeles, and at Wolfe Contemporary in 2009.

Titled "Quietly I Will Wait," the show's work is a tribute to Bill Reynolds, a poet who died tragically several years ago. Bergeron reproduced the hundreds of individual, hand-written letters that comprise all of Reynolds' poems out of wood and/or steel, assembling them into sculptures both figurative and abstract, some larger-than-life, others intimate in scale, but all paying potent visual homage to their lyrical source.
