JOHN CHAMBERLAIN Obituary

CHAMBERLAIN--John. April 16, 1927 - December 21, 2011. With tremendous sadness, Gagosian Gallery announces that John Chamberlain has died on December 21, 2011, in Manhattan. Brandishing a wicked sense of humor and notoriously ornery, Chamberlain was a larger-than-life personality who was as bold and expressive as his sculptures, photographs, paintings, and films. Larry Gagosian said â€œJohn Chamberlain made an indelible mark on the history of art in the twentieth century. He was a spectacular, roaring figure who embodied the fierceness of mid-century American art and who was unparalleled in his adaptation of unlikely materials for his sculptures. His influence will be long reaching, and his death is a great loss. Our condolences go out to his family and friends.â€� Larry Gagosian
