Join us for a virtual lecture by collection artist Fred Eversley, creator of Big Red Lens (1985). As an artist, Fred’s work combines light, science, and metaphysics to explore energy in its every form. Drawing from Fred’s career and experiences, this presentation promises to illuminate the collection and our focus exhibition The Light Fantastic, as well as be informative, insightful, and just plain entertaining.
ABOUT FRED EVERSLEY
Frederick John Eversley is a Los Angeles-based sculptor, one of a group of artists associated with the 1960s’ “L.A. Light & Space“ movement. Working out of a studio in Venice Beach, his sleek creations in poured acrylic polymers, stainless steel, and bronze frequently take the form of disks, parabolas, helices, and lenses.
Fred Eversley was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1941, graduated from Brooklyn Technical High School, and received a degree in Electrical Engineering from Carnegie Institute of Technology (now Carnegie Mellon University). Postponing an opportunity to pursue medicine and biomedical engineering, Eversley first came to Southern California for the exploding electronics and aerospace industry of the early 1960s.
