About the Item
Robert Cook’s sculpture Rushing serves as an energetic reflection on the fast-paced nature of life—where so many of us are constantly in motion, hurrying from one place to another. He was very interested in the idea of motion and this was a part of a series of works that have a futuristic approach to the repetition of movement and how to convey that in sculptural form.
All his works are unique and there is only one cast! An American sculptor renowned for his innovative techniques, Cook employs a distinctive formula of beeswax, paraffin, and rosin to create dynamic, thought-provoking bronze forms. This unique approach allows him to capture movement with remarkable fluidity, as seen in Rushing. The sculpture vividly conveys the energy and urgency of people in motion, resulting in a striking, one-of-a-kind bronze piece that embodies the essence of perpetual movement.
This sculpture has a mid-tone rich brown patina with some gold-ish highlights.
Its total height with its new base is 17 3/4 inches. It is signed on the piece in full. No foundry mark as he never has a foundry mark.
Marble base: 3/4 x 15 3/4 x 4 inches
Provenance: Estate of the artist
This is a work that can be displayed as just a relief meaning with one view toward the front or in the round. It is light enough to easily move around. Great for tables and mantles.

Splash
By Robert Cook
Located in Greenwich, CT
Robert Cook’s Splash sculpture draws inspiration from the iconic photograph of a drop of milk creating a circle and splash in a pool of milk. This fleeting moment of suspended motion sparked Cook’s exploration of how to capture such dynamic energy in a static form.
Robert Cook was a great American sculptor and his works are in many museums and his iconic Dinoseras piece commands a spot on the street of New York at 51st Street.
Important to note with this work that it is unique and there are no other casts. Cook sculpted in wax and when he cast this destroyed the wax and there was no mould. Very few sculptors work in this manner and it speaks to a very pure and altruistic form of sculpture. If perhaps he had been more commercially minded he would have done large editions but instead he valued singularity as in nature.
In Splash, Cook freezes a moment of kinetic energy, capturing the elegant tension between impact and expansion. The sculpture embodies both grace and chaos, with a fluidity that suggests movement at the very instant it’s frozen in time. Cook’s mastery of his medium allows this dynamic moment to be immortalized in bronze, creating a powerful and emotional resonance that transcends the physical form, making Splash both a formal and philosophical exploration of time, space, and motion.
