Archie Held

Archie Held is a world renowned metal facbricator that we recently had the pleasure of carrying in our gallery. He is well known for his water walls and water sculpture for private and public displays but he has created hundreds of sculptures in various metals from steel to bronze.  He works closely with his clients and has an astute eye for perfection in each commission he executes. Seen here is "Plum" which we carry right here in the gallery. Below is some information about Archie Held from our website, www.hansongalleryfineart.com, and some of his commissions he has done throughout the world.

Father and Son

Archie Held is an internationally recognized artist who has been creating sculpture since the late 1970s. He studied at UCLA for both his graduate and undergraduate degrees. The Archie Held Studio, founded in 1985 and based in Richmond, California, has produced over 500 pieces of artwork and currently employs a team of 10 talented artists and metal fabricators. Archie works primarily in bronze and stainless steel; water is often used as a central element to further complement the simple and elegant designs. The appeal of his tranquil creations has led to several private as well as public art commissions. He enjoys working with clients on custom site-specific projects and welcomes collaborations with designers and architects.
