Music like Charles Perry

Charles Owen Perry (October 18, 1929 Helena, Montana, US – February 8, 2011 Norwalk, Connecticut, US) was an American sculptor particularly known for his large-scale public sculptures.

He served in the U.S. Army, during the Korean War, receiving a Bronze Star.

Perry initially studied architecture at Yale University, graduating in 1958. He then joined the firm of Skidmore, Owings and Merrill in San Francisco, where he continued to work as an architect until 1963. At the same time, Perry started developing some of his own ideas in sculpture and in 1964 staged his first one-man show of sculptural models in San Francisco, which led to some early commissions for his sculptures.
