He did his first tricks at the age of nine, spent the greater part of his youth with a deck of cards in his hand, and eventually did a manipulative act--cards, billiard balls, and cigarettes--professionally. After a hitch in the navy he entered the arts, and for many years was a dedicated full-time sculptor. He was a former Guggenheim fellow, a Municipal Art Society Award winner, and the creator of several of America's largest sculptures: the <i>Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial</i>, the huge <i>Morningside Heights, </i> and some 12 other works in New York City.
