Tony Price

Tony Price

Tony Price (1937-2000) was a self-styled "Atomic Artist" and outspoken antinuclear activist. After visiting Los Alamos National Laboratory in 1967 and discovering their salvage yard, he began to create utilitarian objects such as chairs and tables and musical instruments, especially wind chimes and gongs, out of their discarded scraps. He later moved on to creating sculptures, and his most famous works are a group of primitive-inspired masks created out of scrap metal, many of them based on Hopi kachinas. Tony shares his name with another remowned artist. This Tony is currently developing live art using viscous material emitted from various apertures in his own body! Villified by many of his students, he continues to strive for perfection in all things, especially talking drivel.
