For 15 years Harry Gordon, owner/operator of Harry H. Gordon Studios, has been transporting and installing large outdoor sculpture. Harry works from his 30' x 50' x 23' studio in Lambertville, NJ where he can assemble, store, and repair all sizes of sculpture.

Harry also owns a 1996 International crane truck with a state-of-the-art knuckle boom. The truck is equipped with air ride suspension for transporting delicate or fragile artwork, and is capable of lifting a maximum of 9,800 lbs. At 41', the crane can lift 1,500 lbs. The truck bed is 18' long, 4'3"high, and 8' wide. The maximum legal load is 9' high by 8' 6" wide by 20' long. Arrangements can be made to transport larger items and transportation is available nationwide. Temporary storage can be arranged for almost any object.

Harry H. Gordon Studios has also done numerous indoor installations including sculpture hanging on the wall or from the ceiling. Wall and ceiling installations are often the most difficult because they involve architects, engineers, and builders.

Harry coordinates pickup, delivery, and installations of entire shows for galleries, museums, and parks.

Harry H. Gordon Studios has moved sculpture for DeCordova Museum and the Sculpture Park in Lincoln, MA; Bristol Myers Squibb in Princeton, NJ; the State of New Jersey; and many others.

In addition, Harry has been involved in several large
scupture projects, including "Pier Walk" in Chicago, IL and "Convergence" in Providence, RI.

Harry has met and worked with many fine sculptors in the past 15 years and these associations have naturally led to recommendations of certain artists to certain venues. This development has grown into an extension of the installations business and continues to grow.

For the past 4 years Harry has curated and installed all the work for a sculpture "walk" at the train station in Trenton, NJ. He is Assistant Curator for the ongoing outdoor sculpture show at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, NY and he curates and maintains a private outdoor sculpture collection in Connecticut.

This aspect of Harry H. Gordon Studios has also developed from the sculpture installations. Many times, if it requires repair work, it is easier to take a sculpture to the studio to work on repatination or repainting, as opposed to doing the work on site. Depending on the type of work needed, Harry will either do the work in-house or specify and oversee work at an appropriate shop that he will recommend.

Recently, Harry was asked to model, mold and cast in bronze a 6' fireman carrying a child for the Somerville Fire Dept. in Somerville, NJ. The sculpture will be installed in October, 2002.

Early in his career, Harry worked figuratively and is now returning to modeling. He has several other commissions of this nature in the making.
