Tony Berlant has been creating vivid metal collages since the early 1960s. He projects images of flora and fauna and common household objects onto tin shapes in quilt-like patterns that are both visually and conceptually rich. The artist received his BA, MA and MFA from the University of California at Los Angeles. He has shown his work at such venues as the Whitney Museum of American Art, the James Corcoran Gallery in Los Angeles, CA and the Centro Cultural del Arte Contemporaneo in Mexico City, Mexico. Today, Berlant’s work is included in private, corporate and public collections, including the Smithsonian Institution’s Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington, DC, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles and the Whitney Museum of American Art.
