Fugate-Wilcox (1944- ) known both as "Tery" and as "Terry" Fugate-Wilcox, an American Conceptual artist, painter, sculptor and Actual Artist; born in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Among other works, he created the Jean Freeman Gallery, widely accepted as the conceptual artwork that ended conceptual art. In 1971, Terry Fugate-Wilcox donated an "r" to the Irish cause, becoming Tery Fugate Wilcox. (Shortly after, Brian O'Doherty became "Patrick Ireland" in support of the same cause.) After winning a public vote, on the art to be chosen for their neighborhood, Fugate-Wilcox was commissioned to create the sculpture 3000 A.D. Diffusion Piece (1974) in J. Hood Wright Park, in the Washington Heights area of New York City. The sculpture is composed of several stacked and bolted plates of magnesium and aluminum, which Fugate-Wilcox estimates will fuse together at or around the year 3000.
Fugate-Wilcox also created the public sculpture Weathering Concrete Triangle (1984) at the corner of Seventh Avenue and Waverly Place in Manhattan.
