James Metcalf
1925-2012
An American sculptor born in New York in 1925, James Metcalf moved to Paris in 1956, to a studio in the Impasse Ronsin, and in 1957 received a grant from the William and Noma Copley Foundation. A specialist in hammered and welded metal, he worked alongside Tinguely and Niki de Saint Phalle. Settling in Mexico around 1965, he founded a copper-craft school with Ana Pellicer in Santa Clara del Cobre, where he died in 2012.
