This biography from the Archives of AskART:
|  Philip Pavia was a figure in the abstract expressionist movement in New York in the post war years. A friend of de Kooning and Pollock, he exhibited abstract sculptures in both marble and bronze many of which were conceived as homages to his artist friends.
He was a co-founder of "The Club" a group dedicated to avant garde art which held weekly meetings with guest speakers. In the 1950s he began "It Is" a contemporary art magazine.
Pavia continued to sculpt up until his death, exhibiting a collection of large terra-cotta heads in early 2005.
