Mark Thek is president of Esterline Power Systems in Los Angeles, California. Mark Thek is also the nephew of the well-known artist Paul Thek. Paul Thek, who lived from 1933 to 1988, was a sculptor and painter. He was educated at the Art Students League of New York, Pratt Institute, and Cooper Union School of the Arts. His sculpture works, known as “meat pieces,” were constructed to resemble human flesh. These sculptures, part of a series called Technological Reliquaries, were made from wax. Paul Thek constructed them between 1964 and 1967. He also worked in charcoal and graphite, and he created monochrome oil paintings and abstract watercolors. During his lifetime, he earned prestige on the American arts scene. He participated in Andy Warhol’s Screen Test in 1964. His works are still a part of present-day Screen Test art displays. Additionally, from 2010 to 2011, the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York presented a collection of his work titled Paul Thek: Diver, a Retrospective. Comments are closed.
