Born in Detroit, Steven Montgomery’s work revels in a history of industry and aging as the artist uses porcelain to produce intricate mechanical forms with the appearance of metal. His recent Euclidean Series introduces gold luster and an illusion of oxidation, resulting in works of both extravagance and decay.

He has been awarded Fellowships from the New York Foundation for the Arts, the Pollock-Krasner Foundation, and awards at international exhibitions in Korea and Taiwan. His work is included in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Art and Design in New York, the Smithsonian American Art Museum, Renwick Gallery in Washington DC and numerous other public and private collections throughout the US and abroad.
