Judith Brown (born December 17, 1931, New York City; died May 11, 1992, New York City) was a dancer and a sculptor who was drawn to images of the body in motion and its effect on the cloth surrounding it. She welded crushed automobile scrap metal into energetic moving torsos, horses, and flying draperies.〔(Postmodern Classicism and Eclecticism Page: 549 )〕 "One of the things that made Judy stand out as an artist was her ability to work in many different mediums. Some of this was by choice, and sometimes it was by necessity. Her surroundings often dictated what medium she could work with at any given time. After all, you can't bring you're welding gear with you to Rome."〔(Judith Brown )〕 Brown attended Sarah Lawrence College in Yonkers, New York (B.A., 1954), where she learned to weld from her teacher, Theodore Roszak, a pioneering abstract expressionist sculptor. ==Commissions〔(''Judith Brown biography p.2'' )〕== * Mural Sculpture, Lobby, Louisville Radio Station WAVE * Fountain, commissioned by Architectural Interiors, New York City * Model, designed and executed for Festival of 'I\\To Worlds, Spoleto, Italy * Sculpture, designed for Electra Film Productions, NYC * Noah's Ark, exhibited at Bronx Zoo, New York City, at Rochester Museum and Science Center, Rochester, New York, and at Hopkins Center, Hanover, New Hampshire * Store Windows, executed Tiffany & Company Windows, New York City, Christmas 1957, 1959, 1962, October 1969, Spring 1979, and October 1980 * Wall Sculptures: for Youngstown Research Center (1963-4), commissioned by Youngstown Steel Company, Youngstown, Ohio; for Hecht and Company, Landmark Shopping Center, Alexandria, Virginia, Daniel Schwartzman, Architect; for Lobby, 570 Seventh Avenue, New York City, Giorgio Cavaglieri, Architect; for Lobby, Cities Service Company's New Research Center, Cranbury, New Jersey; for Ottauquechee Health Center, Woodstock, Vermont * Eternal Lights: for Congregation Beth-El, South Orange, New Jersey; for Congregation Sharey Thfilo, East Orange, New Jersey * Menorahs: commissioned by Architect Fritz Nathan for the Permanent Collection of the Jewish Museum, New York City; commissioned by Smith College for the Helen Hill Chapel, Northampton, Massachusetts; commissioned by Jules Scherman, of Wisteria Press, Inc., New York City * Altar Cross, commissioned by Smith College for the Helen Hill Chapel, Northampton, Massachusetts * Landscape, Memorial Piece for Gustave Heller, YM-YWCA, Essex County, New Jersey * Memorial Plaque for Robert A.
