Claire Falkenstein (1908-1997) was a sculptor and painter from Venice, Calif.
Falkenstein was born in Coos Bay, Or. She studied at the University of California, Berkeley and lived in Paris in the 1950s to pursue her art career, where her association with critic Michel Tapié and his group Art Autre developed into many commissions including the gates at the home of her longtime friend Peggy Guggenheim in Venice, Italy. She returned to Venice, Calif. in 1960. During her career she created over four thousand sculptures, paintings, and drawings, and became known for her innovative and often controversial abstract public art. Among major commissions were the windows for St. Basil's Catholic Church, and fountains at California Federal Savings (now destroyed) and California State University.
