LEVINE, LES

LEVINE, LES (1936– ), Canadian sculptor. Levine was born in Dublin, immigrated to Canada in 1958, and later moved to New York. Levine was interested in making sculpture accessible to the general public. He therefore became an innovator of the concept of "throw-away" or "disposable" art, making mass-produced sculptures at low prices. He was also concerned with the problem of relating sculpture to its surroundings.
