Brigham’s and Women’s Hospital
Boston, MACYNTHIA-REEVES announces the installation of a permanent sculpture by noted American artist, Jonathan Prince, at the newest facility of Brigham’s and Women’s Hospital in Boston, Mass. A project administered by CYNTHIA-REEVES, Prince’s work was the top pick of the hospital’s board and donors, capping a year’s long search for artwork to be sited in the center’s adjacent greenspace. The sculpture is part of the artist’s Torn Steel series, a series that was on view in New York City at the former IBM Building’s Sculpture Atrium, 590 Madison Avenue, at 535 Madison Avenue’s Sculpture Plaza, as well as at Dag Hammarskjold Plaza at the United Nations.

Geometric Breathing: Inside the World of Jonathan Prince
by Cate McQuaid, Jan-Feb, 2015The breaks can be beautiful, like the internal life we all struggle with and have to embrace.Many of his sculptures look as if a giant has come at it with a pickaxe and hacked a pice off. Inside the wound, shimmering stainless steel ripples like a slide of liquid mercury, winking in the light. It’s gorgeous, unpredictable, vulnerable and deeply alive in contrast to the rusty planes that barely contain it.

Liquid State: An Interview with Sculptor Jonathan Prince
November 20, 2014If I am using photography – ink or stainless steel – I am always trying to deepen my own investigation…Almost all of my work through the years has looked at the boundaries between internal and external from or what we see on the surface but feel inside. My liquid state series are the first works that I have done which seem to have no exterior skin – in other words – the forms are made from only internal material in a figurative sense.

by Ellen Albanese, Oct 12, 2012Through October, the historic property is showing contemporary flair.From Ma Harding’s zebra-striped steel and pigment structure sed against the historic stable, to Rickey’s stainless steel, undulating four L’s to Erdman’s flowing, bronze “Continuum”, to Prince’s “Bore Block”, the sculptures are whimsical and thought-provoking.

Art on the Way
by James Balestrieri, January 2012The red, orange and brown rust glows like fine sand at evening, begging to be touched.In the low atrium hum, amid the polite acoustic din of a public New York City space, Jonathan Prince’s majestic sculpture installation Torn Steel, in the Sculpture Garden of the IBM Building – 590 Madison Avenue at 56th street- is a meditation in waiting…

Jonathan Prince Makes His Mark on Madison Avenue with New Body of Work “States of Matter”
Feb 10, 2012Known for his work in African and Cambrian black granite, Prince has, over the past two years, broadened his visual inquiry through a vanguard technique of “tearing steel”.James Balestrieri wrote: ” The contrast between the outer, oxidized surfaces, and the tears – areas of highly polished new steel – indicate the passage of time, neglect, forgetting. This is the Stonehenge of and advance civilization… Yet, strange to say, it’s the oxidization, the rust, if you will, that keeps the works for feeling unapproachable.

Jonathan Prince’s Sculpture to the Sun
Oct 25, 2012It appears to be part Pac man, part wheel fragment, part idol, and part oxidized steel and liquid mercury.It does not really fit James Wines’ definition of “Plop art”, that dismissive term used to describe large abstract works placed in corporate settings. G2V seems more of a thoughtful sort of broken from, or a poem or dream from another time.

Confronting the Monumental
by Dorothy Joiner, Winter 2012It is into these massive works that he pours not only a prodigious energy but also the manifold lessons garnered from his varied experiences.Not only does an aspiring sculptor relinquish the relative stability of a salaried job for the aleatory existence of an artist, but he must also wrestle with what Prince calls the “600-pound gorilla.” That “gorilla,” he explains, is the almost crushing weight of tradition: the influence of all the great artists whose work he knew so well and loved…
