About the Item
In my effort to make the sculpted bust a viable contemporary art form I have tried several approaches. This over-life-size piece is an example of my current preferred approach where a ‘tightly’ modeled head and expressive face is coupled with a dynamic, abstracted hair form. The juxtaposition and resulting tension make for a dynamic presence in the actual piece.
Rather than use a glaze or patina on this piece, the fired clay is exhibited as bisque, normally a transitional or unfinished stage for ceramic works. However, during this pandemic period when this piece was created, I created several such heads. Though transgressive in the ceramics world they work well as contemporary pieces, showing the process of their creation, and the light tone of the bisque-fired clay shows the form and casts shadows well.
The piece is mounted using a system and pedestal of my design and can be rotated freely. Pedestals can be custom made to collector’s requested height, e.g., tabletop (approximately 5”H), mid-height (approx. 30”H) or tall (42”-48”H)

BIO My sculptural practice engages traditional sculptural forms to explore cultural questions that puzzle or intrigue me. I generally find myself introducing some contemporary material, found object or other element into classical figurative or representational contexts. In recent years my work has centered on the human head/bust. Prior to that I developed a large body of high-relief, wall-hung sculptures made by pressing objects into clay, thereby creating a mold, then pouring over it a single cast of hard plasters blended with powdered Carrara marble. Bob was born in Oakland, CA and lives and has his studio in Rye, NY. His work has been exhibited in solo shows in Santa Fe (Jane Sauer Gallery) and New York (Lower East Side-Dacia Gallery and Bushwick- Anthony Philip Fine Art) as well as group shows in Paris, Hong Kong, Italy and throughout the U.S. His sculptures are in permanent collections of the Burchfield-Penney Museum in Buffalo, NY and Museo Arte Contemporanea Sicilia in Italy. The work has been reviewed in numerous art publications including Hyperallergic and featured in the NY Times, Wall St Journal and other national media. Bob spent 8 years in formal study of sculpture, centering on his years at the Art Students League of New York.

Three Graces with Smartphone
Located in Rye, NY
This piece was from the period when I created standing figures in clay working from live models. These three women were friends, students at SUNY Purchase, and enjoyed working together to develop their respective poses and the overall composition.
The piece derives from three specific art-historical references, fused into something contemporary.
The first, from the title, is from a long tradition of Three Graces sculptures...
