Clement Meadmore was born in Melbourne. He originally studied aeronautical engineering at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology. After graduating, he designed furniture until 1953 when his first sculpture of welded steel was offered for sale. Ten years later, still unable to make a living from his sculpture in Australia, he migrated to America. With the exception of a year spent in Australia, as photo editor for Vogue magazine, Meadmore lived and worked in New York.
Meadmore
became an American citizen and lived and worked in New York. In the
kitchen of his apartment, he built small maquettes which were no more
than 30 cm long. If he saw that the maquettes had potential to be
translated on a monumental scale, he had the works manufactured as large
sculptures by a local fabrication plant.
In his spare time, Meadmore liked to play the drums and make jazz
with his friends. Meadmore passed away in April 2005.
