BIOGRAPHY
David Hayes was born in Hartford, Connecticut and received an A.B. degree from the University of Notre Dame in 1953 and a M.F.A. degree from Indiana University in 1955 where he studied with David Smith. He has received a post-doctoral Fulbright award, a Guggenheim Fellowship, and a grant from the National Institute of Arts and Letters. He has been appointed Visiting Artist at the Carpenter Art Center, Harvard University, and has represented the United States at the Forma Viva sculpture symposium in Portoroz, Jugoslavia. He has served three years on the National Screening Committee for the Fulbright-Hays awards in sculpture and was the subject of documentary films in 1991 and 1998 on Connecticut Public Television. He has had about 100 one-man shows and is included in the collections of over 60 major museums. He resides in Coventry, Connecticut.
Beginning November 2004, forty large steel sculptures by Hayes will be placed in St. Lucie County, Florida in a variety of public spaces with the overall exhibition name of "Exhibit Without Walls". According to the November 8, 2004 Press Release from David Hayes, son of the artist, "This will be one of the largest and most comprehensive exhibits of Hayes' work anywhere in the world. . . . "the show places sculpture where residents live, work and play and allows people to interact with the work on their own terms." The Hayes exhibition is part of Lucie County's Art in Public Places Program.
