4th State Metals

In a nondescript Poughkeepsie warehouse, 4th State Metals fabricates large-scale sculptures found in public spaces like Storm King, Dia Beacon, and the Poughkeepsie municipal roundabout. Co-founded by David Markusen and Isaac Zal, the studio collaborates with renowned artists, turning creative vision into structural reality—one weld, one cut at a time.
