Robert Graham, 'Untitled (Frieze Figure Series)', c. 1989-1990

About the Item

Robert Graham’s Untitled (Frieze Figure Series), c. 1989-90, is a striking work that exemplifies his mastery of form, texture, and dynamic composition. Crafted in patinated bronze, this figure reveals Graham's skill in capturing the human form with a sense of movement and presence. Standing at 59.75 inches tall, the piece stretches vertically, suggesting both physical and metaphorical elevation, while the use of bronze adds an element of permanence and timelessness to the artwork. The figure’s elongated body and exaggerated proportions contribute to a sense of abstraction, yet it retains a recognizable human presence, blurring the lines between figuration and abstraction. The patina on the bronze creates a rich surface texture, adding depth and visual interest while emphasizing the weight and solidity of the material. This technique serves as a reminder of the sculptural tradition, while Graham's modern approach imbues the work with contemporary relevance. Part of the Frieze Figure Series, this sculpture reflects Graham’s long-standing engagement with the human body and its representation in art. His figures often convey both a sense of motion and stillness, suggesting a narrative without explicit detail. The piece invites viewers to engage with the figure in their own way, evoking both curiosity and reflection.
