About the Item
In the 1960’s, Canadian Otto Rogers was one of the first artists to create abstract sculptures out of welded steel and continued to do so during his long career. He was an admirer and a collector of African sculpture. That influence is perhaps evident in the clean, precisely defined lines of this dynamic piece.
Saskatchewan born Rogers (1935-2019) was recognized early in his career by the renowned British sculptor, Sir Anthony Caro who stated that Rogers' work, ‘had a kind of magic about it,’ and that it was ‘so original, unexpected. Absolutely his own.’ A devout follower of the Baha’i faith, Otto Rogers did not view art as simply a ‘decorative thing.’
“Art is a means of elevating consciousness and can reflect attributes of the soul.” Otto Rogers
He acquired his MA in Fine Art from the University of Wisconsin and later taught art at the University of Saskatchewan for 29 years. Rogers also participated in the Emma Lake Workshops in BC which attracted some of North America’s finest artists. His work is held in private and more than 30 public collections including: the Art Gallery of Ontario, the National Gallery of Canada, and the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston.

From 1988–98, Rogers lived in Haifa, Israel, where he served two five-year terms as a Counselor member of the International Teaching Center at the World Centre for the Baháʼí Faith. Following those years, he lived and worked in Prince Edward County, Ontario until his passing in late April 2019.
