MARSHFIELD — When Rockland artist Kata Stack tells friends she works at the house on Route 139 with all those steel sculptures in the yard, they say, "Oh that house? Wait a second, what's going on in there?"
You're welcome to stop and see for yourself. George Greenamyer, the 81-year-old sculptor who lives there with his wife, Beverly Burbank, a former student, and works in the adjacent shop and welding room with young assistants, calls his property "a sculpture garden." His recent work has been described as "protest art."
Greenamyer taught at the Massachusetts College of Art for 40 years and founded the school's sculpture department in 1969. He has exhibited and had public art commissions across the country. He has works in the permanent collections of The DeCordova Museum and Sculpture Park in Lincoln, The Fuller Craft Museum in Brockton, The Art Complex Museum in Duxbury and Boston University. The biggest piece he has done was in 2002 for the restored Penn Station in New York.
