Sydney Cash

Largely self-taught, American artist Sydney Cash (1941– ) earned his BS in mathematics from Wayne State University in 1965 before coming to New York City. There, he was influenced by the painter and sculptor Ben-Zion, a founding member of the expressionist group “The Ten,” and by the Uruguayan sculptor Gonzalo Fonseca. Though Cash is perhaps best known for his experimentations with slumped-glass sculptural forms, he has worked in a diverse range of media that includes flat glass, mirrors, and found objects. In addition, his paintings on paper have explored pattern and portraiture over the course of his career.
