Ted Larsen (b. 1964, United States) is a Danish-American sculptor living and working in Santa Fe, New Mexico. He holds a BA from Northern Arizona University and is a recipient of the Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant. Larsen’s practice reconsiders minimalist and modernist traditions, creating refined geometric compositions from salvaged and industrial materials. Since 2001, his work has interrogated notions of value, purity, and formalism, using repurposed steel, aluminum, and wood to question the hierarchies of “High Art” through processes of renewal and reassembly. His work has been exhibited widely across the United States and internationally, including the New Mexico Museum of Art, The Albuquerque Museum, and the Philadelphia Museum of Art, as well as in more than 80 gallery exhibitions. Larsen has participated in residencies with the Edward F. Albee Foundation and the Asilah Arts Festival in Morocco, where he represented the United States, and has received grants from the Pollock-Krasner and Surdna Foundations. Larsen’s sculptures are held in numerous public and corporate collections, including The Palm Springs Art Museum, The New Mexico Museum of Art, JP Morgan Chase, PepsiCo, and Reader’s Digest. His work has been featured in Art in America, ArtNews, Sculpture Magazine, and Architectural Digest, and reviewed in The New York Times, The Philadelphia Inquirer, and The Dallas Morning News. He has also been the subject of a televised interview produced by PBS. Ted Larsen (né en 1964, États-Unis) est un sculpteur dano-américain qui vit et travaille à Santa Fe, au Nouveau-Mexique. Il est titulaire d’un baccalauréat de la Northern Arizona University et lauréat d’une bourse de la Fondation Pollock-Krasner. Son travail propose une relecture critique du minimalisme et du modernisme, à travers des compositions géométriques réalisées à partir de matériaux récupérés et industriels. Depuis 2001, Larsen explore la tension entre la pureté formelle et la matérialité brute, transformant des éléments usés en objets d’art raffiné. Ses œuvres questionnent la hiérarchie des valeurs artistiques et l’idéal de perfection dans la sculpture contemporaine. Il a exposé aux États-Unis et à l’international, notamment au New Mexico Museum of Art, à The Albuquerque Museum, et au Philadelphia Museum of Art, ainsi que dans plus de 80 expositions en galerie. Larsen a participé à des résidences avec la Edward F. Albee Foundation et au Festival des Arts d’Asilah au Maroc, où il représentait les États-Unis. Il a reçu des subventions de la Pollock-Krasner Foundation et de la Surdna Foundation. Ses œuvres font partie de collections publiques et privées prestigieuses, dont le Palm Springs Art Museum, le New Mexico Museum of Art, JP Morgan Chase, PepsiCo, et Reader’s Digest. Son travail a été présenté dans Art in America, ArtNews, Sculpture Magazine et Architectural Digest, et salué par The New York Times, The Philadelphia Inquirer et The Dallas Morning News. Une entrevue lui a également été consacrée par PBS.
