Guardian Unlimited Politics - Ask Aristotle: Sir Michael Lord MP
Michael H. Lord, who rose from sweeping gallery floors to become Milwaukee's most prominent art dealer, is facing financial trouble that could shutter his business unless he comes up with nearly $300,000 by Monday.
Lord, a player in major art projects for the Milwaukee Art Museum, the Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist and Miller Park, has been sued in recent years for misappropriating funds and failing to pay bills.
Lord opened his first gallery in 1978, when he was 23, and successfully created a market for high-end, contemporary painting, sculpture and photography in a city not known for active art collectors.
Michael is self-taught; he prefers to teach himself noting that it is a slower process, but it helps you "find your own avenue".
Michael maximizes the abstract qualities of the forms he carves such as the sensuous curves of the snow goose's feather that pile up like the petals of a flower or the indentations of a puffin's body that complement the fissures of the rocky pedestal below.
