Collected Quotes "Up from the earth the iron sang like a song from the moon."     -- Betty Parsons, Betty Parsons Gallery "Malpass is America's finest young sculptor."     -- Richard Stankiewicz, Sculptor "Even the most accomplished welder must wonder about the way the sculptures are made, the perfection of the spheres, the seamless interlocking of the collapsing New York industrial base that Malpass collected and made into art. Malpass, who grew up in New York in the 1950's and 1960's, when it was a big, wonderful, hard working town, scavenged the debris of that lost city for his materials."     -- Pete Hamill, Editor, New York Daily News "Malpass works in a way that relates to the accumulations of Arman with the high polish of works by Pomodoro, but the intent and content of this work is allied with American welded scrap-metal sculptors such as Chamberlain and Stankiewicz, where disparate elements are brought together in a powerful abstract composition of forms in space. In the case of Malpass, the form is a sphere."     -- David Ebony, Art Critic "The artworld has lost an artist who had much to offer."     -- John W. Hechinger, President, Hechinger Inc. "The death of Michael Malpass is much more than a personal loss. His developing career as a sculptor of notable talent and promise represents a critical loss to the sphere of contemporary art as well."     -- Anne R. Fabbri, Former Director of the Noyes Museum "Mr. Malpass was associated with Pratt Institute for more than twenty years. He was loved and respected as an artist and colleague by all who know him."     -- Warren F. Icleman, President, Pratt Institute
