Wendell Dayton (original) (raw)

Wendell Dayton was an American sculptor of both large- and small-scale abstract, mostly steel, compositions. He operated a personal sculpture park in the San Fernando Valley area of Los Angeles, where he also lived and worked. At age 79, Dayton had a piece—a 1968 stainless steel work entitled Crescent—acquired by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) for its permanent collection. At 80, he had a six-decade survey of his work shown at the Blum & Poe gallery in Los Angeles.
