Jane Manus
(American, born 1951)
Biography
Jane Manus is a contemporary American sculptor known for her freestanding geometric works. “My work is defined by minimal abstract form; bold color; highly finished, tactile surfaces; and architectural integrity,” she has said. Born in 1951 in New York, NY, she went on to receive her BFA from the Art Institute of Boston, where she discovered steel as her primary material for producing work. Manus was one of the few women alongside Louise Bourgeois and Louise Nevelson, making metal sculptures on a scale similar to male artists such as Mark di Suvero and David Smith. Over the years that followed, Manus switched to working with aluminum rather than steel, preferring its lightness and flexibility. The artist currently lives and works in West Palm Beach, FL. Today, her works are held in the collections of the Georgia Museum of Art in Athens, the Wichita Art Museum in Kansas, and the Butler Institute of American Art in Youngstown, OH, among others.
