TAL STREETER

STREETER--Tal, sculptor of "Endless Column" and author of The Art of the Japanese Kite passed away on April 17, 2014 in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Streeter's art centered on the creation of large-scale steel sculptures, and large kites, both of which find their inspiration and home in the sky. A celebration of his life, work and legacy will be held in 2015 on the opening of the Dream of Flight Museum and Library, Santa Fe New Mexico, established by the non profit Friends of the Sky Foundation in 2012 to preserve Tal's vision, sculpture, sky related material, photographic and kite archives. He is survived by his wife, potter Romig Streeter, daughter Lissa Streeter, brother Ronald J. Streeter, collaborator Bruce George, and his Santa Fe family - David, Fiona and Tiger Wong-Wagner. To those that wish, all correspondence and donations may be made to : Friends of the Sky Foundation, 4007 Old Santa Fe Trail, Santa Fe, New Mexico 87505. "Rather than center himself in the American space as an Action Painter does, Streeter makes the surrounding lack of scale reveal itself; the endlessness is in the American sky." - Carter Ratcliff
