About the Artist: Hans Hokanson (1925 - 1997) was born and raised in Sweden before moving to the United States in 1951, settling in Northwest Creek, New York. Hokanson was originally a painter but the expansive forest surrounding his home inspired him to begin working in wood. He collected huge pieces of elm and walnut from stumps and fallen trees. His early carvings were machinelike assemblages that evoked cogs, spindles, and wheels. These developed into more organic forms, which coincided with his move to the Hamptons in 1967 where he discovered fallen elm and walnut from trees on his property. Hokanson's work is represented in the collections of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Smithsonian American Art Museum, The Brooklyn Museum, Storm King Art Center, The Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, and others.
