The Political Value of Art is Beauty as a Symbol of Love!
“My name is Charles Sidney Clough and I was born in Buffalo, NY, in 1951. My art has been presented in more than 80 solo, and 150 group exhibitions. I have received grants and fellowships from the John Simon Guggenheim Foundation, Pollock-Krasner Foundation, Adolph and Esther Gottlieb Foundation, National Endowment for the Arts, and New York State Council on the Arts. More than 600 of my works are included in the permanent collections of more than 70 museums. In 1974 I co-founded Hallwalls Contemporary Art Center in Buffalo with Robert Longo, Diane Bertolo, Nancy Dwyer, Cindy Sherman, and Michael Zwack.
