About
Why this artist matters now
Forrest Myers is an American sculptor working in monumental wall-based and environmental forms. His 1969 Moon Museum project and 1973 wall sculpture The Wall in SoHo, Manhattan established his practice at the intersection of public space and material intervention. Based in Brooklyn and Damascus, Pennsylvania, Myers constructs work that engages the architectural and social fabric of urban and rural sites through bold sculptural gestures.
