About the Item
Artist Seward Johnson whose lifelike bronze and monumental figures are familiar sights throughout the United States, Europe and Asia, was often hailed in the press as “America’s most popular sculptor.” Johnson began his career as an oil painter. In 1968, he journeyed into the medium of sculpture where he found his passion – creating a variety of artworks that pay homage to contemporary life, in its most mundane and exquisite details. Johnson is admired for his uncanny ability to create with superb realism and deft humor. Johnson passed at age 89 in March 2020, leaving an enduring artistic legacy. Throughout his over 50 years as a sculptor Johnson made a significant impact on the landscape, and the expanding world of public art. Today there are more than 300 works in cast bronze featured in public spaces, sculpture gardens, private collections and museums across the globe including London, Paris, New York, Rome, Washington, Los Angeles, Berlin, Madrid, Kiev and Osaka. Johnson’s renderings of images from the Impressionist canvases have graced the parks of Paris, and sculptures from his Icons Revisited series, both life-size and monumental, have delighted viewers and art lovers in New York, Sydney and elsewhere. Johnson’s works invite viewers to examine, as well as celebrate, our essential lifestyles, habits and contemporary culture as a whole. His oeuvre is a mirror. One that reflects both the common and the sublime. CONTACT: The Seward Johnson Atelier 310-264-2400
