Searching for famous contemporary sculptors in Los Angeles? Explore Tom Pergola’s sculptural pop art and documented profile without treating fame as a ranking, an appraisal or proof of investment value.

Evaluate a career through evidence

The artist material presented on this site describes Pergola’s billboard visibility on Sunset Boulevard and in Times Square, as well as commercial art projects. These are career context; they do not establish a comparative ranking of Los Angeles sculptors or authenticate every individual piece.

Understand the sculptural approach

Pergola reworks familiar popular-culture objects in dimensional compositions. Explore the works below whose supplied text explicitly mentions sculpture. Ask how the selected piece is constructed and displayed rather than relying only on an artist reputation.

Choose the work, not just the name

Reputation can influence asking prices, but valuations remain subjective. Review condition, dimensions and documentation, then discuss a fair negotiated price. This is an artist-focused discovery page, not a local sculpture gallery directory.

Candy Man

Candy Man is a figure at near human scale, covered head to toe in candy and standing on a base of candy-covered turf. A red cap, sunglasses and a slung bag give the figure a playful, slightly surreal swagger. Tom Pergola assembles the surface from everyday objects in his Assemblage Plastique technique, so the sweetness of the material meets the weight of a monumental sculpture. At approximately 6′ × 2′ 10″ × 2′, it anchors a room.

Dreams Of A Hole In One

Crossed golf clubs rise from a patch of artificial turf with golf balls at their base. At the top, a sculpted character in a cap and sunglasses looks out, lit with small lights. The work holds a golfer’s daydream in a single assembled figure.

Money Laundering

Money Laundering by Los Angeles artist Tom Pergola turns a familiar phrase into a clever visual statement through a playful ironing board scene. Created in his signature Assemblage Plastique style, this original mixed-media pop art sculpture blends humor, satire, and everyday objects into a bold conversation piece for collectors, galleries, offices, or contemporary spaces.

Pet Dreams

A plush dog sleeps on a small mound while a cloud floats above it on a frame of sticks and wire. The work turns a pet’s dream into a physical scene. At approximately 5′ 6″ × 2′ 8″ × 2′, it stands as a tall, freestanding sculpture with a tender, humorous tone.

You Are What You Eat

A slow cooker overflows with colorful candy and rising mist, set on a yellow stool beside a colander of more sweets. The work turns everyday kitchen objects into a metaphor for indulgence, consumer culture and modern appetite. At approximately 2′ 9″ × 1′ 8″ × 1′ 2″, it brings humor and social commentary to a compact footprint.
