RICHARD STANKIEWICZ BIOGRAPHY
Richard Stankiewicz was born in 1922 in Philadelphia, although the family soon moved to Detroit, MI. In 1940, Stankiewicz graduated from Cass Technical School where he studied mechanical drafting. The following year, he enlisted in the Navy as a Radio Operator. Stationed first in the Aleutian Islands, then Hawaii, Stankiewicz spent his downtime making his first sculptures out of animal bones and other natural materials.
In 1949, Stankiewicz moved to New York and attended Hans Hofmann’s School of Fine Arts. Here he met artist Jean Follet, and the following year the two of them traveled to Paris where Stankiewicz studied at the Atelier Fernand Léger through the G.I. Bill. In 1952, Stankiewicz helped to open the Hansa Gallery in New York with other Hofmann school students, where he would exhibit regularly until the gallery’s closure in 1959. During this time he developed his method of making sculpture from welded scrap metal, rather than plaster and wire. In 1960 Stankiewicz befriended Jean Tinguely and introduced him to the Stankiewicz's scrap metal dealer.
Stankiewicz exhibited widely around the world, notably included a number of exhibitions in France and Australia. In 1972 Stankiewicz joined the roster of the Zabriskie Gallery, which would represent his work until 2009. In 1979, the State University of New York in Albany organized a retrospective exhibition of Stankiewicz’s work, which then traveled to several other museums in Massachusetts and New York. Richard Stankiewicz passed away at his home in 1983.
The Washburn Gallery has represented the Estate of Richard Stankiewicz since 2013, and has held a number of solo exhibitions of his work. Stankiewicz’s work is included in many Museum and Public Collections, including the Museum of Modern Art, the Detroit Institute of Arts, the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, and the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
