Ibram Lassaw (1913–2003) was born in Alexandria, Egypt, to Russian émigré parents and moved to the U.S. in 1921, settling in Brooklyn, New York. He studied sculpture at the Clay Club and Beaux-Arts Institute of Design, influenced by artists like Kandinsky and Sophie Taeuber-Arp. Lassaw began making abstract sculptures in the late 1920s, replacing the traditional solidity of cast metal with open-space constructions through welding. He was a founding member of the American Abstract Artists group in 1937 and served as its president from 1946 to 1949.

In the 1940s and 1950s, Lassaw was part of the New York School of Abstract Expressionism, alongside artists such as Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning. He spent summers on Long Island from 1955 before moving there permanently in 1963. His work has been exhibited in various galleries, including the Anita Shapolsky Gallery in New York City and the Harmon Meek Gallery in Naples, Florida.
