"I like things I've seen very fast and I don't remember what they are; but I remember the outline, the image,"
"I'd like my sculptures to be remembered the same way."
"They were very sort of flat landscapes, the ocean in Newport, and the desert in Arizona. Which were formative to me,"
"fantastic future."
Robert Grosvenor (1937–2025) was an American sculptor whose six-decade career investigated spatial relationships among viewer, object, and surrounding environment. He fabricated most of his own sculptures and tailored works to specific installation spaces, frequently leaving pieces untitled. His output ranged from spare, bright, angular metal structures that seemed to soar, to dark, melted-looking bundles of wood that rested heavily on the floor. Later works used cars and speedboats as themes, handmade with forms suggesting nostalgia and escape. He trained in Paris and Perugia, served in the U.S. Army, worked in downtown New York, and was represented by Paula Cooper Gallery for over fifty years.
