Judith Brown (American, 1931-1992) "Red Tree," monumental welded metal sculpture, whimsical twisting and turning form with branches bearing leaves, originally conceived as scenic design for a benefit dance performance for El Salvadorian children called “Flowers from the Volcano: An Evening of Dance and Poetry” at BAM [Brooklyn Academy of Music]. The program included performers from the companies of Martha Graham, Alvin Ailey, and Bill T. Jones, among others. Overall: 120" H x 90" W x 48" D. Note: The tree was stage left throughout the performance. As dancers performed and the poetry of the children was read (in between the dance pieces), the removable leaves of the tree were brought and placed symbolically onto the trunk, representing growth and renewal.
