Sculpture

Reg Butler was a British sculptor who pioneered welded steel construction as a primary medium in postwar European art. Working primarily in iron and steel, he created abstract monumental forms that synthesized constructivist principles with organic, figural references. His open-frame sculptures and maquettes established welded metal as a central language for modernist abstraction in the 1950s. Butler's practice bridged geometric formalism and humanist concerns, influencing subsequent generations of steel sculptors.
