Tony Smith: For Series

The exhibition will consist of the complete For Series; nine geometric bronzes ranging in size from 3 x 5 x 3 feet to 3 x 13 x 7 feet. This is the first time that the complete set of bronzes is being shown in America since 1971, when they were initially fabricated by Smith.
The sculptures were originally conceived as gifts for friends and are titled and dedicated with the initials of the intended recipient. They relate to the monumental sculptures Smith was working on at that time, and with which he is most often associated.
The series was first shown in 1970-71 in the form of full-size plywood maquettes in the exhibition, Nine Sculptures by Tony Smith, which traveled to four American museums. The sculptures were then fabricated in welded bronze and were shown in New York at Knoedler & Co. in the spring of 1971. From 1992-1996 an exhibition of the For Series traveled to seven museums throughout Europe.
