Anthony Howe (born 1954, Salt Lake City, Utah) is an American kinetic sculptor who creates wind-driven sculptures resembling pulsing, alien creatures and vortices. He makes use of computer-aided design, shaping the metal components with a plasma cutter, and completing his work by use of traditional metalworking techniques. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Kinetic Wind-Powered Sculptures by Anthony Howe «TwistedSifter )〕 He attended The Taft School between 1969 and 1973, and for the next 6 years was enrolled at Cornell University and Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture. In 1979 he built a house on a remote mountaintop in New Hampshire. Here he painted pastoral landscapes for five years, and displayed his work at 'Gallery on the Green' in Lexington, Massachusetts. His paintings may be found in the collections of Teradyne, Harvard University, the William Small collection and other public and private collections. In 1985 Howe moved to New York and turned from painting to kinetic sculpting. Four years later his first work was hung from old elevator cables stretched between buildings. In 1993 he joined the Kim Foster Gallery in New York, and the following year moved to Orcas Island in Washington, where he once again built a house and opened his own gallery. He claims that there is some guesswork in predicting the effects of strong wind, and thus over-engineers his work. One of his methods of testing the sculptures is by fixing them to his Ford F-150 and then driving down the freeway. He is currently working on a large kinetic wind sculpture which will be displayed at the arts festival Burning Man.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Alien Creatures: Anthony Howe And His Kinetic Wind Sculptures | artselectronic )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Anthony Howe Biography )〕 ==TV appearances== *1998 CBS News Sunday Morning show. *2001 Evening Magazine, Seattle, Wa. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Anthony Howe (kinetic sculptor)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
