Richard Kamler (American, 1976 - 2017), Two Assemblage Artworks, including: (i) "August 21, 1971, California State Prison, San Quentin, California;" and (ii) Untitled; both from the Internment Series, both are mixed media: sheet lead, barb wire, staples, carpet tacks, magazine photograph, plexiglass sticks, oil pastel, and cleaner on wood board. Note: (i) This lot includes a bill of sale. Artist's Bio: Long time artist/activist/curator/educator Richard Kamler has been making socially-engaged art since 1976 when he made his first major installation, “Out of Holocaust,” a full size reconstructed section of one of the barracks from the Auschwitz Death Camp. Since that time his public installations, audio pieces, actions and events, drawings, sculptures, and public presentations have dealt with a range of  social, cultural, political and environmental considerations and have been exhibited nationally and internationally. Kamler approaches his practice  from the premise that art is, and can be, a catalyst for engagement. https://richard-kamler.squarespace.com.
