William King is a contemporary American sculptor born in Jacksonville, Florida, in 1925. His lyrical sculptures explore the strengths and weaknesses of the human condition.  The elongated and larger-than-life forms often poke fun at the realities of human action and interaction.

King is an internationally renowned sculptor known for his simplified figurative cutouts in metal, which are often presented with a warm and subtle touch of humor.
