Train Ball by Lars-Erik Fisk, Burlington, Vermont
The Train Ball is part of an ongoing body of work by Lars-Erik Fisk. A graduate of the University of Vermont art department, Fisk has worked as an independent artist in Burlington and New York City, and as artistic director of the band Phish. Since 1996, he has created a series of large, spheroid sculptures that refer to specific objects, buildings, and vehicles. The works merge pop and minimalist sensibilities with a playful sense of humor and impeccable craftsmanship. Fisk’s earliest works in this series were exhibited on the Flemming Museum’s lawn in 1997, and included, among others, Street Ball, Tree Ball, and UPS Ball. Later works in the series included architectural and vehicular subjects, such as Barn Ball, School Bus Ball, Con Ed Ball, and Volkswagen Ball. Lars-Erik Fisk was awarded the 2002 Rappaport Prize for his playful and creative series of spherical sculptures.
