About the Artist: Vasa Velizar Mihich
Vasa Velizar Mihich (born 1933) is an internationally acclaimed Yugoslavian-American sculptor and a leading innovator of the West Coast Light and Space movement alongside figures like Peter Alexander and Larry Bell.
Originally an academically trained painter, Vasa immigrated to Los Angeles from Yugoslavia in 1960. Captivated by the unique quality of California light and the emergence of new industrial materials, he shifted his focus from abstract painting to three-dimensional plastics in 1967.
Vasa serves as a Professor Emeritus at the UCLA Department of Design and Media Arts, where he taught advanced color theory and design for over 50 years. His meticulous studio process involves fusion-welding colored cast-acrylic slabs together before precision-machining, faceting, and hand-polishing them into flawless geometric forms.
His works are highly collected and showcased worldwide in permanent museum collections, including:
- San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA)
- Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden (Washington, D.C.)
- Hammer Museum (Los Angeles)
- Denver Art Museum
