Given that I'm still pretty new at this and not very knowledgeable.... thus far the one artist that has caught my attention is Calder. I love the simplicity of his pieces. The repetition of forms. The simple pieces that form intricate forms. He recycled before any of us were thinking about being green. Some of his pieces incorporated broken china and glass. I also enjoyed his manipulation of metal how he connected pieces. Little soldering and lots of riveting. So I gave the rivets a try myself....
