Charles Ray ... Charles Ray (b. 1953 in Chicago, USA) is widely regarded as one of the most significant artists of his generation. He is best known for his sculptures of altered and refashioned familiar objects. He studied sculpture at the University of Iowa School of Art and Art History with Roland Brener, who exposed Ray to many of developments of Modernist sculpture, in particular the constructivist aesthetic of artists like Anthony Caro and David Smith. He later studied with Stephen Zaima, where Ray executed many of his performance pieces in the undergraduate studio like the Plank Piece. He moved to California in 1981 where he headed the sculpture department at UCLA since. Chercher Charles Ray nudes
